Types of fasteners for the device and the functional

To properly choose the bracket for the TV on the wall or ceiling, it is necessary to understand what level of convenience of household appliances it can provide. By the type of mounting brackets are divided into several types:

1. Static( fixed).These are the most simple, cheap and reliable mounts that allow you to fix the TV on the wall.
2. Movable, which are divided into two types:
   • Inclined.
   • Turn-inclined.

Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each type of anchorage.

Wall mounts of fixed type

The most accessible type of holders, in which the television panel is mounted almost flush against the wall. The device consists of a minimum set of elements:

• A massive strip that is attached to the wall.
• Reiki that join the TV.

Important! Due to the simplified fastening system, the static bracket has a relatively low cost. Advantages of fixed mounting:

• Simplicity of construction.
• Reliability of fastening.
• Compactness.
• Easy to install.
• Reduces the space used by the TV to a minimum.
• Mounting of the fastening does not require special strength of the walls - it may well be suitable for plasterboard.
• Low price.

Deficiency of fixed fasteners:

• Unable to change the angle of the screen.

Inclined type of mounting bracket

Unlike fixed, tilting type of attachment, equipped with a mechanism for changing the viewing angle in the vertical plane. This is very convenient if the telepanel is placed above eye level. As a rule, the angle of inclination does not exceed 20 degrees. This is sufficient for large rooms, where the display is installed for the convenience of viewers higher.

Should I choose the bracket for a TV of this type?- You can solve this, based on the following advantages of the device:

1. The inclined holder allows you to get rid of glare, very convenient.
2. Unlike the rotary-tilt holder, it can withstand a large mass of the TV.Due to the small number of movable elements, this type of fastening is quite strong.

Important! Manufacturers recommend installing on an inclined mounting type both 30-inch and 60-inch plasma.

Wall-mounted brackets for rotary-tilt type

This is the most convenient and most flexible type of fasteners. The holder of the swivel-inclined type allows the TV to take the position that completely satisfies the viewer.

Advantages:

1. The bracket is able to change position - both in the vertical and in the horizontal plane, making turns and tilts.
2. The mechanism of the holder has the ability to rotate the television device to 180 degrees.
3. Angle brackets use just such a mechanism.
4. The swivel-type holder consists of two platforms, which are connected by a special "leg".The holder can have several movable legs, which provide the necessary flexibility. The viewer gets complete freedom in choosing the position of the screen.

Important! The swivel holder is more dimensional than its analogs. In addition, because of the large weight, the bracket needs a more secure own attachment to the wall. So this option is not recommended for gypsum board walls.

Disadvantages of fastening:

• Relatively large depth - the TV turns out to be significantly related from the wall.
• Does not withstand a large load of wide plasma.

Mobile mounts

This category of holders is the most versatile. The use of brackets of this type is justified in rooms with complex geometries. Also, it is advisable to choose a bracket for a TV of this type when the seats of spectators are not always known in advance and are widely spaced in space, for example, a sofa at one wall, and a table at the other.

Important! Movable holders have a complex design and are the most expensive among the "brethren", but thanks to them, the TV can be rotated around any axis, and even, if necessary, moved away from the wall to turn to a large angle.
