Technology has surpassed our imagination. Smart TVs dial us into a world of entertainment with a press of a button. You can now play video games, listen to music, watch movies and surf the Internet on your television. But there is another way in which we are using technology for our convenience – by making devices adjustable to our unique body types. Our work desks, monitors, keyboards, mice, and laptops can be raised up and down or extended and retracted as we choose.
This flexibility now extends to our TVs, which not only have become bigger and lighter over the years but can now be mounted on walls, poles, ceilings, and also adjusted, tilted and panned for convenient viewing angles. With appropriate mounts, TVs can also be vertically adjusted or lifted up and down. This flexibility is especially handy while playing video games or digital activity games.
Wall mounts for TVs come in a variety of choices, depending on TV size and weight as well as functional features that you want from the TV after mounting it – for example – whether you want the TV to rotate from side-to-side, tilt up and down or extend horizontally. Before deciding on a mount, make sure to look at the bolting pattern on the back of your TV (from the manual) and then choose a mount that is compatible. Otherwise you risk hurting the wall and/or the TV.
ErgoDirect carries a few different TV mount options, including those below.
1) Full-Motion/ Articulating/ Swivel Mounts – These mounts typically contain a bracket that attaches to the wall on one side and an arm on the other side. This arm then connects to the bracket that attaches to the TV. The arm provides flexibility of movement to the display. These mounts work especially well for corner installations or for large rooms with multiple viewing areas of pain-free and comfortable viewing angles are necessary.
