You know that you need to fix your flat screen TV to the wall for the best view, and you know you need the right bracket to do so – but with so many types of TV wall brackets to choose from, you may feel a little overwhelmed. Each different type of TV bracket suits a different purpose, so here’s a guide to help you choose.

If you want your TV to lie flush against the wall for a sleek, simple and space-saving look, you’ll want to look at our selection of flat TV brackets. These give you a stable and solid support for your TV where you need it.

For a little more flexibility in your TV viewing angle, you can choose tilting wall mounts, which hold your TV screen a little further out from the wall but allow you to tilt the TV up and down – usually by up to 15° either way. This is ideal if you want to be able to comfortably watch your TV from the sofa or from a standing position, for example if you’re playing active console games. The next stage up would be a wall bracket that both tilts and turns, meaning that you can turn your screen left and right as well as up and down, to get the right angle wherever in the room you may want to be.

For even more flexibility, pull-out TV brackets generally feature cantilever action which gives you a much wider range of motion – in and out from the wall, left and right (sometimes up to a full 360°) and the up and down tilt. These are often ideal if you want to put your TV in a corner or alcove, or if you want to conceal it. You can also get under cabinet brackets for concealed screens – ideal for mounting your television inside a cabinet or under a counter.

If you don’t have a suitable wall to mount your television on, or if you want to place it centrally in your room, then you can choose from our range of ceiling TV brackets, which attach to the ceiling and allow both rotation and tilt.

Within each different type of bracket, you’ll find sub-categories based on the size of the screen – it’s very important that you choose the right size, as otherwise it will not fit properly and simply won’t hold your screen securely.

Finding the perfect TV takes time so when you actually find it, you can’t wait to use it. Don’t just plonk the product anywhere without a thought. You’ll have spent quite a bit of money on it, so you’ll want to ensure that you get the very best out of it. Here’s an idea, why not channel the magic of the cinema into your very own home?  Think about it; when the lights go out and the trailers come on, your heart skips a beat – it’s thoroughly exciting. So here at 123 Brackets, we’re going to reveal just how you can recreate this magical atmosphere in your very own home.

First of all, it is all about where you place your TV; there is only one way to create the cinema aesthetic and that is by mounting it to the wall. This process is extremely simple, all you need to do is install a Samsung wall bracket – make sure that you purchase the right size for your television. Form a picture of the cinema in your mind, the screen is the central focus and that is what it should be like in your living room. On the other hand, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to experience the joys of the cinema in your bedroom, just mount your new television on the wall opposite to your bed.

To make the fabulous home cinema experience complete, always ensure that you have a bag of popcorn at the ready – you may not appreciate finding it in your bed though! Remember the sugar rush you experience as a kid when watching a film at the pictures for the very first time? Make sure that you have bags of sweets and sugary, fizzy drinks available to you and your friends. Visit your local sweet shop and recreate your youth by buying a pick ’n’ mix.

When watching a film you should be completely engrossed both visually and aurally. To recreate this at home you need a fabulous, high quality sound system and a blu-ray player. In fact, you could just purchase a home theatre system such as the Panasonic SC-BTT880 that includes a fantastic surround sound speaker system. Blu-ray DVDs are essential as they provide you with the ultimate visual experience; the colours are more alive, the images are crisper, and are generally more defined.  You need to feel like you could just step into the film itself. Channelling the atmosphere of the cinema into your home is all about recreating that incredible, bombastic experience.

Go on and enjoy your favourite films from the comfort of your sofa, bed or favourite arm chair. You’ll have an amazing amount of fun with your friends and family at a fraction of the cost of actually visiting a multiplex. There is really isn’t a down side to having your own home cinema.

Here at 123 Brackets we’re all about ensuring that you get the best viewing experience possible, and that’s where TV brackets are integral for finding the perfect angle for your wall mounted TV. The TV itself is also a rather important part of the process though! So here’s our 123 Brackets rundown of the Top 3 TVs of 2013 so far.

1) Sony KDL-55W905A
At the top of the range, and utilising the very latest in technology, Sony’s KDL-55W905A is their flagship TV for 2013, and certainly doesn’t disappoint. Yours to own for a cool £2400, this stunning 3D TV offers near-unmatched performance – a good start considering its predecessor, the KDL-40HX853 won product of the year last year. The new KDL looks fantastic; sleek, slim, with that skinny profile and a cut-glass quart crystal inspired flash of blue across the top. It is, however, the Triluminos display tech that you’ll notice more when viewing. The technology behind it makes the reds, greens and blue much deeper and richer than their competitors, even in 3D, where colour reduction can often be as much as 25%. For a stunning television with smart capabilities, an exquisite picture and a gorgeous design, look no further than the Sony KDL-55W905A.

2) Loewe Connect ID 46

For the best TV you’ve never heard of, try the Loewe Connect ID 46. Coming in at the market mid-price of around £1400, this cool and funky television is a £1000 cheaper than the Sony above, but you wouldn’t know it from the quality. However, the most striking thing about this TV is its unique and unparalleled customisation options that allow you to choose from a whopping 2160 combinations! You can choose your colour, mounting options, HDD storage amount, what kind of 3D you want and more! Available from 32 inch right up to 46 inch, the Connect ID 46 can be suitably mounted on any wall with a 32 inch TV wall mount or above, proudly displaying your chosen colours throughout the room.
3) Panasonic TX-L42ET60

The name might sound incomprehensibly futuristic, but the Panasonic TX-L42ET60 is the perfect entry level TV for those looking for high quality pictures of beautiful depths and colourful vibrancy A Smart VIERA TV, the TX-L42ET60 is absolutely jam-packed with extra content from the BBC, YouTube and Netflix amongst others; perfect for the modern, interconnected household. Interconnectivity is actually a large part of the TX-L42ET60’s charm, as with 3 HDMI connectors, 2 USB ports and an SD card slot, you’ll be able to hook up your Sky+ HD box, the games console and the computer with room to spare, not to mention view your photos in stunning HD on the big screen. With variable screen modes for watching films, sports or playing games and more, you can always be assured that you’re getting the very best picture whatever you’re viewing.

These 3 TVs are just a fraction of what’s out there at the moment, but they do symbolise some of the best that the television has to offer. However, even the best TV can suffer if it isn’t properly mounted to your wall, giving you the best viewing angle possible. For that you’ll want to invest in a TV wall bracket to affix your television to the wall for the optimum viewing experience. For more information speak to one of our team today.
