LCD technology affords consumers new options when it comes to
the physical placement of their TV displays. You no longer have to
configure a room around the television set. Now, you can
incorporate the TV into almost anywhere, if you give a little thought
to it beforehand. You can mount your flat-panel display on almost
any wall in your home.
• Flat Wall Mounts allow you to maximize the space-saving benefits
of plasma technology. This option is generally the least expensive,
and it adds just under two inches to the monitor's total depth.
•Tilt Wall Mounts enable you to place your TV above eye level,
keeping it out of the way though readily viewable from anywhere in
the room. This mounting option is typically used to install LCD
monitors in bedrooms, above fireplaces and other locations. The tilt
wall mount adds from 4 to 6 inches to the depth of the mounted
display.
• Table Stands are another popular way to display LCD units. Each
display has its own custom-fitted table stand. Oftentimes one is
included with the monitor itself; occasionally, though, you will have to
purchase the stand separately.
• Articulating Wall Mounts make use of swivel arms to render the
LCD unit flush with the wall-and out of the way-when not in use. This
mounting device allows you to turn the display 120° to either side
and as much as 10° up or down.
• Ceiling Mounts This option is generally coupled with a tilt mount,
so that the display can be adjusted downward for easier viewing.
Lengths of ceiling mount poles vary according to customer needs,
though the standard lengths are from 24 to 43 inches.
