Unless your TV is over 70 inches in size, or you want to move the screen around a lot, we think you should just buy the VideoSecu ML531BE - it’s simple and easy to install (make sure you select the right model for your screen size though). Once, you’ve made your choice, make sure you know all about how to install a TV mount so it doesn’t fall. Additionally, the mount can retract to just 2.2 inches from the wall to save space and extend up to 20 inches to maximize the amount of tilt and rotation. So, long as your TV offers four mounting holes on the back of the display and conforms to the multitude of variable spacing between each hole, the VideoSecu can offer a perfect fit and plenty of function.

Post-installation, Loctek built-in support for extra adjustments up to three degrees horizontally in the event the television isn’t mounted completely level. The unit itself can pull a TV out from the wall up to 18.8 inches and retract back up to 3.3 inches away from the wall. Additionally, the 10-degree tilt capability makes placement adjustment easy and offers simple position switching to move the television away from glare or more into the viewing line of guests. The wide-angle swivel offers 90 degrees of motion in each direction to meet different viewing needs and, again, help better position the television for all viewers in a room.

However, keep in mind that this set-up means you will not be able to change its position once it’s installed, and the location is an important consideration since you won’t be able to place it in a corner.

What to Look For in a TV Wall Mount

Compatibility

You need a wall mount that can support the size, weight, and shape of your TV—especially if you have a curved one. Most wall mounts can accommodate a range of TV models, but make sure you buy one that’s compatible with yours.

Design

Are you in search of a fixed mount or one that can swivel? Do you need a full range of motion or just a slight tilt? Regardless, you’ll need a mount that can match your needs and the layout of your room.

Installation

Installing certain wall mounts can be tricky, and it’s not something you want to botch—but you can rest easy knowing that some models have a post-installation adjustment level to ensure that the TV is perfectly aligned.
