Congratulations on your new television. Now for the next step: how do you get it on the wall sleekly, securely, and at the perfect height? A good TV wall mount is the difference between a cluttered setup and a picture-perfect living room.
Before you make a choice, it's wise to consider a few common pitfalls. The wrong purchase not only leads to frustration during the TV mounting process but can also be unsafe or simply fail to deliver the desired result.
To avoid the pitfalls above, there are a few technical specifications you need to check. This isn't rocket science, but it is essential for a successful purchase.
The VESA size is the standardised distance between the four mounting holes on the back of your television, measured in millimetres. For example, a VESA 400x400 mount means the holes are 400 mm apart horizontally and 400 mm vertically. You can find your TV's VESA size in the manual or by measuring it yourself.
Just as important is the maximum weight capacity of the mount. Check the weight of your television (without the stand) and choose a mount that can comfortably support this weight. Especially for a larger 65-inch TV mount or heavier, safety is the top priority.
Your choice depends entirely on your room and how you watch TV.
Check if the necessary mounting materials, such as screws and plugs, are included. Some kits even include a small spirit level. Also, look for features like an integrated cable management system. These are often simple clips or channels that guide your cables neatly along the mount's arm to the wall.
Based on these criteria, we have selected a number of products that suit different needs and situations.

The easiest way is to check your TV's manual or the specifications on the manufacturer's website. You can also measure it yourself: measure the distance in millimetres between the four screw holes on the back of your TV. First, measure the horizontal distance, and then the vertical distance. The result is your VESA size (e.g., 400x400).
No, it's important to know what your wall is made of. A solid wall of concrete or brick is generally the strongest and most suitable. For hollow walls, such as plasterboard, you will need special hollow-wall anchors, and sometimes extra reinforcement of the wall is recommended. Always check the recommendations of the wall mount manufacturer.
A swivel TV mount offers maximum flexibility. You can easily adjust the viewing angle, which is very useful for preventing glare from sunlight or lamps. It's also ideal if you watch TV from different places in the room, such as from the couch and the dining table. This ensures you always have a perfect view.
