Buying a TV can be a big investment, but once you’ve made your choice you will still need to consider whether you want to opt for a TV stand or a TV wall bracket. Here is our TV stand and wall bracket buyers guide to give you an idea of the benefits of these two options.
Wall brackets are becoming an increasingly popular option for people who want to save space in their home, yet still have their television taking pride of place. The first consideration when buying a TV wall bracket is your preferred type. Still looking for the perfect TV? Check out our TV Buying Guide for all the tips on finding the best television for your space.
The most flexible wall mount as it allows your TV to be pulled away from the wall and tilted to enable easy viewing from multiple angles as needed.
Great for sunny rooms. Best suited for mounted TVs above eye level, these brackets offer tilting to avoid screen glare.
Ideal if you don't need to adjust the viewing of your screen. Suitable for when you have a dedicated viewing area and eye level is at the centre of the screen when sitting down.
Perfect for those who prefer a TV to sit flush against the wall. Great for lifestyle TVs that become art when not in use. Check individual models for flexible options.
Make sure you get the correct wall mount for your wall type. It is best to fasten the mount to the wall studs behind the drywall, which can you can tell by knocking against the wall and finding a section that sounds different. When mounting on a brick wall it is recommended to avoid the mortar and place directly on the brick as it is more secure. For walls made of metal or glass, it is generally recommended to get professional assistance in placing a wall mount.
Again, be aware of how much space you have to work with and buy a wall bracket that will fit your TV and home accordingly. Importantly, you will also need to match the weight of your TV to your chosen wall bracket to ensure it can cope with the strain.
"There are lots of great reasons to wall mount your TV – it gets it out of reach of sticky fingers, frees up floor space, and generally makes a room look a bit neater." - John Milonas, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions and Accessories
Here's everything you need to know to make the right decision for your home.
Adjust the height for the perfect viewing angle on those weekend movie nights or for the big get together game.
Want to upgrade to a big screen TV? Here are the top things to look out for.
If your household has a variety of home entertainment technologies, then a TV stand might be more suitable for your current setup. They offer additional housing space for Blu-ray players, digital set-top boxes, games consoles and other gadgets. When thinking about how to choose a TV stand, you’ll want to assess not only the design, but the size – making sure it is big enough to fit the space available in your home. Don’t forget to match the TV stand size to the dimensions of your TV too!
Installation and assembly instructions should come with whichever product you buy, but if you decide to fit a wall bracket on your own, be sure to read the manual carefully when tackling plasterboard walls. Professional installation is an absolute must for peace of mind, as it will help you stay protected under the warranty in case anything goes awry. Need to get your new television installed fast? The Good Guys Home Services can organise a licensed and insured professional to do it all for you - including helping you find the perfect spot for your TV.
We’ll break down all the tech talk and acronyms that you need to know.
The set of metal components attached to the back of a TV that allows it to be mounted on the wall. It consists of the wall bracket and the TV bracket, which are connected by screws.
The part of the mount that attaches to the wall. It is typically secured with heavy-duty anchors and screws.
A tool used to locate the studs in the wall, which are necessary for securely anchoring the TV mount. Mounting a TV on drywall without studs can result in an unstable or unsafe installation.
Systems designed to organize and conceal the cables and wires running from the TV to other devices, such as DVD players or gaming consoles, making the setup look clean and neat.
The maximum weight a wall mount can safely support. It’s important to match the TV’s weight with the mount’s rated capacity to ensure stability.
The distance from the wall to the back of the TV when it is mounted. This can vary depending on the type of mount—fixed mounts generally have a shallow depth, while full-motion mounts can extend further from the wall.
The movable arm portion of a full-motion mount that allows the TV to be extended, swivelled, or tilted for better viewing flexibility.
It is always best to read the manual that comes with you TV wall mount. Make sure the mount can hold the shape and size of your TV then find a wall stud to support the mount. Mark up the position of the mount on your wall then drill holes to add the bolts. Place the hanging brackets on the TV then place onto the wall mount. Still need help? The Good Guys Home Services can do all the installation for you plus remove the old one.
There are a few ways to hide cables such as cord covers, zip ties and Velcro strips. You can also get creative and add plants, books and more to hide the cables from view.
In general, it is best to mount the TV at eye level whilst seated. If there's something in the way making you place it higher up, tilt brackets can be a great solution to setting up a great view.
