1. Size of TV to mount – make sure that the wall mount you look at will fit the size dimensions of your TV, both for height and width, and most importantly for weight.
2. Hardware – most mounting kits come with all the hardware you need to be able to install the brackets on your wall, but be sure to confirm that the one you choose does as well. Some nice-to-haves include a level to make sure you’ve got it lined up correctly.

3. Preassembled – if your mounting system comes preassembled, it makes it very quick and easy to get it up on the wall. This is a great time saving feature.
4. Off-center mounting – some systems allow the mounting plates to be shifted left or right. This is a very important feature, which allows you to mount your TV in the space you want, rather than having to shift your entire furniture layout to accommodate where the studs are in the walls.
5. Proximity to wall after mounting – this is the distance from the wall that your TV will sit after mounting. The closer to the wall that the TV sits, the cleaner the look will be.
6. Color options – Most flat screen wall mounts come in just one color. This is usually black or plain silver metal. The metal look may be matte or gloss.
7. Tilt angle range – Tilt measures the degree to which you can change the angle of the TV for optimal viewing.
8. Universal TV brackets – Getting universal TV brackets with your flat screen wall mount kit is the best way to go. Most large format monitors will be compatible with this type of bracket. Be sure to find out what type of bracket your TV requires.
9. Range of motion – Do you want to be able to watch your TV from anywhere in the room? If so, you’ll want to step up to a mount system that has a full range of motion.

Keeping this list of features in mind will help make sure that you get the flat screen wall mount system that’s right for you.

There are two types of LCD TV bracket. The first type is the branded type. Branded essentially means that this particular LCD TV bracket is specifically designed to accommodate a certain brand of television. If you have one of these brands then this particular type of LCD TV wall mount is perfect for you because it was designed for your particular model. You can also get a general wall mount that is designed for a specific weight of television. These LCD TV brackets also come with folding brackets that allow your television to fit directly against the wall.

One of the best TV brackets is the kind that allows you to move and reposition the viewing angle of the television. You can make adjustments to both horizontal and vertical angles giving you much more flexibility in placing your television set and still get a good viewing angle. These mounts also leave room for quite a few cables and much better access because you can simply tilt the TV and get great access to both the cables and the cable ports.

Wall brackets are also much easier to install than TV ceiling mounts. With a ceiling mount it is always better to have a professional install them. Wall mounts on the other hand can be easily installed by one person and, because the wall studs will not suffer from the weight like a ceiling mount will it is much safer to install alone. Before you buy however make sure to determine exactly where you will place the mount. Placing it in or near corners will make it difficult to take advantage of the many viewing angles and make it difficult to get access to the rear of the set and the cables.
