This guide will help you find the right TV mounting bracket. We'll explain the most important factors to consider and provide a few concrete recommendations based on product specifications, so you can make an informed decision.
Before you choose a mount, there are a few technical details you need to check. This ensures your TV will hang safely and securely.
The most important specification is the VESA wall mount standard. This is the standardised distance between the mounting holes on the back of your television, expressed in millimetres (e.g., 200x200 mm or 400x400 mm). You can find your TV's VESA size in its manual or by measuring the distance between the holes yourself.
In addition, always check:
The function of the mount determines how flexible you are after installation.

The VESA size is almost always listed in your television's manual or on the manufacturer's product page. You can also measure it yourself: measure the horizontal and vertical distance in millimetres between the centre of the four mounting holes on the back of the TV.
No, safety comes first. A TV mounting bracket must always be attached to a solid, load-bearing wall, such as brick, concrete, or a wall with sturdy wooden studs. Mounting on a hollow plasterboard wall is not recommended without specialised plugs and anchors, as the wall may not be able to support the weight of the TV and mount.
A good rule of thumb is to hang the centre of the television screen at eye level when you are sitting on the sofa. This ensures the most comfortable viewing experience and prevents neck strain. If you use a tilting TV mount, you can hang the TV slightly higher and tilt it downwards.
