What kind of wall mount should I purchase for my 32" Vizio TV?

Question

Are there any wall mounts that are better for this kind of television than others or should I just be looking for a wall mount that fits the television (IE. 32"-60")?

Answer 1

Consider your mounting area before you purchase a mount.



1. How high do you want to mount the television. This will make a difference between a flat mount or a tilting mount.



2. Where in the room would you like to mount it. If you can swivel the television and then view it from another room, thus saving the cost of purchasing an additional television, then get an "articulating" mount.



I always suggest purchasing the mount from a professional, because many times they may include the mount in the installation price. (In full disclosure, it is my job to send business to installers.)

Answer 2

Depends on money. Mounts are mounts, and if the brackets size up, then you have something that works.



To spend the least your looking at a standard flat wall mount ( these suck in my opinion because changing out components is very difficult.



Next up on price is the tilt mount, it moves a bit so its easier to fiddle with new components, only problem here is unless you have a really high up place your putting it, the tilt has no effect on the general look of the picture(i.e. glare)



Most expensive is gonna be a swivel mount, these are by far the best if you have the money and the space, it allows complete mobility out of the product along with easy access to swapping of components and so forth.



Remember, the company (in your case vizio) will always "recommend" a mount... 9 times outa 10, they own the company that produces them, or work hand in hand. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY A "Vizio mount"

Answer 3

Just make sure it will support the weight of the TV.



Also, I suggest using a panel cutout behind your tv. This is a small hole in the sheetrock behind the tv. The plastic panel fits over it and you can get them at the home depot. A 2nd panel at floor level should be installed. That way you can run the HDMI and Power cords from behind the TV to the floor level without wires running up the wall. Nothing looks dumber than a new flat panel tv mounted on the wall with a bunch of cords running up the wall to the tv

Answer 4

I install flat screen TV's quite often and without too many dramas. There's no problem whatsoever mountuing to a stud wall. In fact it's easier to get a really strong fixing into a stud than to some masonry walls. Mark where you want the TV bracket to go so you can bang a nail into the wall to locate the studs. You may even be able to tell where they are roughly by tapping the wall or looking at the skirting boards to see if the nail holes are visible (if the painter didnt do a great job of filling/sanding them) You'll want to fix the brackey to as many studs as possible. If it only falls on one stud you could cut plasterboard out as suggested and insert extra timbers. Otherwise try the wall anchors suggested at the page below, listed in order of the strongest first. The second link below has pictures showing how to get timber into the wall to reinforce it.

Answer 5

Depends on how high up you want the tv. Use a tilt mount for high up and a flat mount for eye level.
