There are an excess of TV brackets available on the market, with a plethora of different designs and price tags. Which one is right for your television?
Here are some simple tips to help you avoid the pitfalls of buying the wrong TV bracket.
Shelves Wall Mount
Ensure your TV is the correct size for the bracket and ensure it has the correct VESA spacing. VESA spacing is the distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV, smaller TV's tend to have VESA 100 or VESA 200 spacing, VESA 100 means there are 4 holes laid out in a square shape with 100mm between each hole. Bigger televisions usually use VESA 400, ensure the bracket you are buying is VESA compatible and it has the correct VESA fitting.
Make sure the TV bracket you buy has space to run the cabling, it's all well and good mounting your beautiful flat panel TV on the wall, but if you can't plug it in what's the point?
Decide where you are going to run your cabling and where you are going to place your DVD player etc. Big AV the online TV accessories superstore offer an excellent wall mounted shelf complete with cable management, these can be a great buy to keep everything neat and tidy.
Decide if you want a slim bracket that gets as close to the wall as possible, if this idea appeals to you be aware you will lose swivel and tilting facilities available on other brackets which don't get as close to the wall.
Tilt brackets usually have a 15 degree tilt and are perfect for when a TV is mounted quite high, this type of bracket is essential in some cases.
Swivel brackets, there are a number of swivel TV brackets available; some incorporate the tilt facility some do not, so check this before you order. There are 2 types of swivel mechanism, a cantilever arm is often used, this type of mechanism allows the TV to be pulled out, rotated to almost any angle and pushed flat against the wall, if you need to move the TV frequently this is the type of bracket you want. The other type of swivel bracket needs to be loosened moved and tightened (usually with a screwdriver); this type is not as flexible but is more suited to locations where stability is a priority.
In a nutshell-
1) Check the overall size of your TV and the brackets max capability, also check the TV's mounting holes to ensure compatibility.
2) Think about the cabling before ordering make sure you will have room to plug your TV in and a system to take care of the loose wiring.
3) Think about where you want to place your other equipment.
4) Decide if you want a flat, tilting, or swiveling and tilting bracket.

Black Friday Cheetah Mounts AS3B 3 Component Shelf Wall Mount Bracket for LCD TVs Overview
The AS3B is a tri-shelf cable management system. It can be used with or without a Plasma/LCD mount. This unit is designed to fit under your display and provide an on wall solution for other components such as cable boxes, DVD players, game consoles, and stereo components. There are three 2.25-Inch holes on the aluminum plate that allow you to cleanly run your cables up to your TV or down to another component, as well as out the bottom to an outlet. After reviewing our competition we realized that most shelving units need to be mounted directly into a wall stud. In most cases the wall stud is placed to the right or to the left of the display, which is not where most people prefer to have their shelves mounted. This is still the most secure option however, after significant research we’ve fount that using the correct toggle bolts can allow you to mount your shelving unit wherever you see fit. With the combination of four of these toggle bolts the shelving unit is able to hold well over 70LBS safely. Each individual toggle bolt provides 75LBS of support. Please not that a good toggle bolt is still only as good as the quality of the drywall it is mounted into. If you have water damage or .25-Inch drywall please add a support for your shelving unit.SAVE NOW on Black Friday offers below!
