LCD TVs provide high resolution images that can be seen from almost all angles. Even overhead TVs can provide very good picture quality. This has made it possible for LCD TVs to be mounted on walls, or even ceilings. Mounting LCD TVs is an ideal solution in places where more floor area is required, like restaurants, discotheques, airports and metro terminals and also in homes where the rooms are small.

LCD TVs are mounted by special wall mounts. These are ideally made of metal. Ordinary mounts allow the TV to be fixed on the wall. But there are more sophisticated types that have several rotation angles to make it possible to turn the TV if required. They also have hinge joints on their arms which makes it possible to either pull the TV farther from the wall, or to push it back in. Wall mounts with swivels can even provide rotation of the TV around a horizontal axis.

The first consideration when buying a wall mount must be its sturdiness. LCD TVs, being flat and sleek are not that heavy. But they are fragile. Hence, it must be checked if the metal would be able to bear the weight of the TV. Weight capacities of mounts are often inscribed on their packages. Also, the area where the mount would clamp the TV should be thoroughly inspected. A loose clamp would become looser with time and may cause an accident. It is better to go for mounts that allow the TV to stand in grooves rather than clamps.

If your wall mount can be rotated and twisted, then all the joints must be sturdy enough to bear such movements. They are also available with locking mechanisms, where you can lock the position of the mount once it is adjusted.

The beauty of a LCD TV mount lies in its subtlety. If you are hunting for a good wall mount, settle for one that's not too big and is barely visible. It is also a good idea to select a wall mount in the same color as the wall in order to camouflage its presence.

LCD TVs on wall mounts have become an omnipresent feature today in public places like theatres, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals, and other facilities with large viewing audiences.
