Before you start choosing a wall mount, the first thing to do is to look at the characteristics of your television. Current models come in different sizes, screen technologies (LED, OLED, QLED, LCD…) and weight. These factors will directly impact the type of support required to ensure a safe and durable installation over the long term. For example, a large television and/or one with an LCD panel will be heavier than OLED screens and it will therefore be necessary to opt for a more robust support and with a charge capacity superior.
The diversity of wall supports
TV wall mounts are available in a wide range to meet all needs. The most widespread are the fixed supports, perfect for modest-sized televisions. Their main advantage is above all that they are among the most affordable models on the market, although they have many disadvantages such as the inability to adjust their orientation or inclination. THE tilting supports allow optimal angular adjustment for better ergonomics and reduce annoying reflections. Finally, the articulated supports Or articulated arms offer great positioning flexibility thanks to their rotation and pivoting system. Among the market's essentials, we can cite the Vogel's brand, which is a reference in the field of tv wall mount and which notably offers numerous models suitable for both home cinema and professional uses.
Choosing the Right Load Capacity
One of the most decisive criteria when selecting a wall mount is its maximum load capacity expressed in kilograms. It is imperative to opt for a model capable of safely supporting the total weight of your television, ideally with a comfortable margin. Manufacturers generally indicate this essential data in the technical characteristics of their products.
Installation, a step not to be neglected
Once the ideal wall mount has been selected, the installation step is of capital importance to guarantee the security and durability of your configuration. Depending on the nature of the wall (placo, brick, concrete), the techniques and materials required may differ. For optimal installation with complete peace of mind, it is strongly recommended to call on a qualified professional or to meticulously follow the installation guide provided by the manufacturer. A poorly secured wall mount can indeed present major risks.
For hollow supports, we will favor fixing using chemical sealing or suitable dowels such as the Easymix from Spit and for placo walls, the ideal is to reinforce the fixing from the rear and/or to use molly plugs adapted to the load of your support + screen.
