TV Wall Mounts

You know the scenario — you're watching the big game with a group of friends, huddled around a low-lying TV, and miss that game-changing play because that overzealous fan blocking your view apparently never heard the term, ""down in front."" Install a TV mount today and never miss another bottom-of-the-ninth home run, jump-out-of-your-seat scare, or laugh-out-loud moment again.



Today's streamlined flat-screen TVs make it easy to incorporate a television into your home décor seamlessly. Staples offers a multitude of wall-mount TV bracket options. But before we get into the specific types, let's look at why you should consider getting that TV up on the wall.


5 Reasons Why You Should Mount Your TV

Nearly 120 million households in the U.S. own a TV, and the majority have flat-screen models — which were designed to be mounted on a wall for safety reasons and optimal viewing. Here are five things to consider:


Put Things in Perspective: Types of TV Mounts for Flat-Screens

• Wall Mount. This option is becoming increasingly popular, with its space-saving practicality and sleek style.


• Auxiliary Mount. This is ideal for mounting additional devices such as gaming units.


• Tabletop Mount. If you don't have the proper wall space or want added storage, a sturdy tabletop mount does the trick.

Expand Your Viewing Angles With Special Features


Whether your viewing space is small or wide, there are mounting solutions for every situation. See which one works best for you:

• Fixed Mount. Also referred to as a low-profile mount, this is a great option if you don't require the TV screen to tilt or angle.


• Tilting Mount. A tilting bracket allows you to angle the TV down to accommodate viewers of different heights. It also reduces glare from natural and room lighting.


• Full-Motion Mount. This device has an adjustable arm mount that enables you to tilt the screen up or down or swivel from side to side to accommodate your viewing audience.

Weigh Your Options — TV Mounts Are Built Strong


TV mounts are available in steel, aluminum, and plastic models. Many can withstand weight up to 150 lbs., provided they're installed properly and securely. Wall mounts can accommodate a TV from 32 inches to 65 inches, and some extra-durable mounts will even hold a 75-inch TV. If you don't have the option of installing the mount on a wall stud, use drywall anchors or toggles — but be sure to follow your mount's specific instructions and weight restrictions.



If you've considered getting a TV mount but were intimidated by the installation process, you may be surprised at how easy it is to install. Explore some of the terrific mounting options from top brands today.
