Plasma televisions and flat LCD monitors are more streamlined, lighter in weight and take up less space than a typical projection television. Because many of them aren't much deeper than a large painting, many people choose to mount their flat televisions on a wall, but wall mounting is only one of many flat screen mounting solutions from which you can choose. Likewise, LCD and plasma monitors are often simply stood on a desktop, but the right monitor mounts can lift your monitor off the desk and give you an unexpected amount of flexibility and productivity. Choosing the right mounting option for your particular needs will make your screen more functional and enjoyable.
Wall Mount
Wall mounts are among the most popular of mounting solutions. Most are designed to hold screen a couple of inches from the wall. If you're planning to mount your screen on the wall, you'll need to be sure your wall will support the weight of the monitor or television combined with the weight of the flat screen mounting frame. Generally, that means locating your monitor where the mount can be screwed into studs for stability and security.
Ceiling Mount
Another popular method for mounting televisions is to hang them from the ceiling. Flat screen ceiling mounts often provide more flexibility than wall mounts, allowing you to turn the screen to any angle or direction, and often to move the screen vertically up or down. If you're considering a mounting solution that hangs from the ceiling, you'll need to be able to screw the mounting hardware directly into rafters or studs. Many ceilings aren't suitable for supporting mounts.
Corner Wall Mount
In many rooms, the most comfortable placement for a flat screen television is a corner. Corner placement makes a typical flat screen wall mount impractical - or practically useless. Luckily, there are mounting solutions designed specifically for use in corners. A corner TV mount can be the ideal solution for an unusual floor plan or to accommodate a specific design plan. It's also the ideal solution for rooms that have little usable wall space because of an open floor plan, windows and doors. You can even find corner flat screen mounting solutions that are fully articulated so that you can tilt, swivel and adjust the flat screen TV to your needs.
TV Carts
While they're typically found more in commercial environments than home settings, TV carts can be an unusual and very effective flat screen mounting solution. A TV cart lets you move your screen around the room or from one room to another. Many of the mobile TV carts on the market offer fashionable, stylish lines and high-tech design that fits into many types of rooms. The biggest advantage of choosing a TV cart instead of a more permanent flat screen mounting solution is that you're not locked into one room layout since you can easily move your television when you rearrange your living room.
The right mounting solution can make your viewing experience more pleasurable and fit your new plasma television into your room design seamlessly. Companies that manufacture mounts often have people on staff who can help you decide on the best flat screen mount for your needs.
