It is important that you know your needs and desires by asking yourself whether it is necessary for your support to be mobile or not. The answer to this question will allow you to immediately rule out a good number of products and better target your choice. If you just want to watch TV from the comfort of your living room sofa, you might want a fixed screen that’s easy to set up. Swivel stands are a bit more expensive, but come in handy if your viewing or listening position varies. For example, you can watch a movie while you are at a table and adjust the position of the screen before you get to your chair.
A SUPPORT COMPATIBLE WITH TELEVISION
The compatibility between your screen and your mount can be summed up in four letters: VESA Acronym for Video Electronic Standards Association, VESA is an international standard introduced in 1997 by most computer and TV monitor manufacturers. This standard is a measurement, it corresponds to the distance (in millimeters) between the four screw threads located behind your television. To find out the VESA standard for your screen, measure the distances between your screw threads, vertically and then horizontally. If both distances are 20cm, your screen has a VESA 200 measurement (200mm x 200mm). VESA 75 and VESA 100 are the most common. This compatibility is essential to fix your screen to the wall.
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE WEIGHT OF YOUR TELEVISION
Despite their thinness, flat screens have a significant weight. To prevent your support from breaking under its weight, buy a model that will support it even in difficult times. To give you an idea, know that a 26 inch weighs around 15 kg, that a 46 inch approaches 25 kg and that some 60 inches reach 60 kg. All supports have an indication of the type “from 17 to 24” “expressing the number of inches that it can support. Feel free to buy a slightly larger size if in doubt.
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SIZE OF YOUR TELEVISION
While it is true that the weight of your television is an essential criterion, its size is no less so from an aesthetic point of view. A support larger than your screen will stand out and spoil your viewing pleasure. Most brackets are marked with a 17-26 inch type lettering. This inscription indicates the size of the television expressed in inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm) recommended for this type of support.
WHERE IS THE VESA STANDARD FOR MY MONITOR LISTED?
The VESA standard is listed on the specification sheet for your television. If you have misplaced your datasheet, calculate it yourself. First measure the horizontal distance (length) between your attachment points, then the vertical distance (height). If the values obtained are 400 mm (L) and 200 mm (H), the VESA standard of your TV is 400 x 200.
FIXED OR TILTING SUPPORT IN A ROOM?
The tilting stand is recommended in a bedroom. When watching TV from your bed, your eyes will definitely be lower than your support. You will get a better match between your field of view and your screen if you can tilt the screen down.
HOW HIGH SHOULD I INSTALL MY SUPPORT?
The screen should be placed so that one third of the screen is above your eyes when you are seated. Usually the screen is fixed about 1 meter from the ground.
WHICH SUPPORT ON WHICH WALL?
A wall made of a dense and solid material (wood, brick, cinder block, concrete) can withstand all fixings. On a plastered wall, install a support whose fixing points are clearly spaced to occupy a maximum surface area of the wall.
HOW TO HIDE THE CABLES?
It would be a shame to install your support and fix your screen only to find that hanging wires are ruining your work. You can hide the cables with a sheath. Attach it to the wall as an extension of your screen. If the sheath is too noticeable, do not hesitate to paint it. There is a more aesthetic solution, but which requires more work and DIY knowledge: the duct inserted directly into the wall. To do this, you have to dig a trench in the wall to immerse the cables. An ambitious project that will put your DIY skills to the test.
