Which wall mounting bracket do I choose for my 40″ TV
As tv’s are getting larger and thinner these days most people want to wall mount their new fancy tv onto the wall. A common question I get asked is can you explain the difference between the wall brackets.
There are basically 2 types; fixed/tilt and full motion.
Fixed / tilt
This type of bracket is so the tv fits flat to the wall. They can move up and down about 15 degrees, but not side to side. The maximum weight for these is about 60 kg.
Full motion
Full motion brackets mean the tv can move up and down the 15 degrees, and moves from left to right. The distance from the wall ranges from 115mm to 515mm. The maximum TV weight capacity is 60kg.
