Installing the TV bracket on the wall will wait a little. First we need to choose the best model. To competently choose the bracket and do not regret buying, you need to know about many of the selection criteria. Some of them are individual, but others should be followed.
Geometric dimensions of TV and bracket
Manufacturers produce brackets for TV sets of all sizes. The size parameter can be considered as the range of the fastening device. The only difference is in the distance between the holes, on which the TV safely hangs.
Important! There are standards for the location of the holes that the bracket must match. Modern LCD and plasma TVs are suitable for the VESA standard.
The standard itself can be classified into three categories, differing in the distance between the holes.
- 12-22.9 inches.
- 23-30.9 inches.
- 31-90 inches.
The weight that the
bracket withstands. A 32-inch diagonal TV will weigh about 7 kilograms, and the minimum weight that the bracket withstands is about 12 kilograms.
Important! Manufacturers always make a stock for security reasons, so it's almost impossible to miss the choice of a model by this criterion.

But if you are a fan of flexibility, then in any store you can find devices with two and three knees, with which it is even easier to control the orientation of the TV in space.
What are the designs made of?
Here especially you will advise nothing, because practically all models of brackets are made of plastic or metal, or from all at once. But do not worry for the strength, because the manufacturer "meets the head" for their products, and all designs pass hundreds of tests before release.
Design solutions
Here everything is also a little boring, because these devices are not much different from each other. Color solutions end more often on black, but if you try, you can find other shades. Also, some models are equipped with plastic pads that cover all the fasteners and holes. Yes, and not really something design is required, as the TV will cover everything with its massive screen.

Take for example the swivel arm for TV from the manufacturer of Samsung with a diagonal of 32 inches. The editing process for different TV models is not much different from each other, so this example is ideal. As an anchorage we take model Holder - LCDS-5037 standard VESA with parameters 200х100, 200х200.
Brackets consist of two parts: a base that is attached to the wall and a mating part that connects to the rear panel of the TV.The installation itself looks like this:
- Select the installation location.
- After selecting, make the markings on the wall so that the installation is ideal. In the complete set very often there is a pattern with apertures on which it is possible to spend a marking on a wall.
- Now turn the base of the construction to the wall. If your wall is made of foam blocks or plasterboard, you just need to screw in each hole one screw. Brick, concrete or cement walls require preliminary marking for holes. For such cases, a powerful impact drill is taken, which must be drilled through the markings. The length of the holes should be slightly larger than the size of the dowel.
- Now insert the dowels, apply the base to the wall and screw the previously prepared screws with a screwdriver.
Important! If the length of the holes should be larger than that of the dowel, then the diameter is the opposite. It should not exceed the diameter of the dowel, in order for the mount to be of high quality and the bracket to be stable.
- If you have fixed the design, we take the lining from the kit, "string" them on the grooves until a characteristic click.
- It remains to attach the mating part of the bracket to the back wall of the plasma. Do not forget to remove the foot of the TV!
This completes the installation! We connect the TV wires and enjoy viewing.
