The Best TV Mounts
No one likes watching TV at an awkward angle. You can only swivel your neck so far. A good TV mount can let you position your television in the exact place and angle that works best for you. Not all TV mounts are crafted equally, though, which is why we've made this list of the best.
What to Look For
There were three big considerations for whether or not a TV mount would make it onto our list: Does it hold the TV safely and reliably? Is it relatively easy to set up and install? Is it flexible enough to view the screen from a wide variety of angles? We found a number of mounts that passed all these expectations and more. Perlesmith’s mount proved to be the ultimate choice when it came to being able to angle the TV for the perfect view. Echogear’s hefty mount, on the other hand, was the clear winner when it came to handling larger TV sets. There’s a TV mount that will find a perfect place in your home somewhere on our list, so get your remote at the ready and read on.
Pipishell Full Motion 13-42″ TV Monitor Wall Mount
The gold standard
We found this impressive TV mount to be the best choice for a wide variety of screen sizes. The full motion allows you to rotate your TV to your exact liking, and simple instructions make the installation process a breeze. And since it works with a wide variety of brands and can hold almost 45 pounds, there’s a good chance any medium-size TV will be a perfect fit. If you’ve been stuck trying to find a solid mount, we can’t recommend this one highly enough.
Pros
- It’s very affordable compared to other high-quality TV mounts.
- We were thrilled to discover the simplicity of the installation. It can be accomplished with only one person and requires a minimal number of tools.
- The construction is sturdy enough to make it usable for years without wearing down.
Cons
- It feels loose when you tilt it, which can be nerve-wracking at first.
Perlesmith Tilting TV Wall Mount Bracket
Find the perfect angle
Proper tilting is crucial for any good TV mount, and this one exceeds them all in the tilt department. With a maximum tilt angle of 7 inches and robust steel construction, this mount has both the flexibility and strength to offer a great viewing experience. The safe and easy-to-use lock mechanism also allows you to hang your TV without the need for tools. For a TV mount that provides great angles while holding your set strong, look no further.
Pros
- We appreciate the organization of the different hardware. The setup components are helpfully separated into their own, labeled bags.
- It’s far more affordable than many TV mounts of comparable quality.
- This TV mount comes with a variety of spacers, which is perfect for viewers who don’t have a perfectly flat wall.
Cons
- Heavier TVs can feel rickety or loose in this mount.
Echogear Full Motion TV Wall Mount
Big strength for big sets
If you have a massive setup that needs an equally huge TV mount, this is the choice for you. Echogear’s mighty mount is made from pure alloy steel, and can hold TVs up to 90 inches wide and 125 pounds with no issue. It can rotate up to 130 degrees as well, meaning it doesn’t sacrifice its range of movement for strength. Power and flexibility combine in perfect harmony where this TV mount is concerned.
Pros
- We like how the mount extends two inches outward since this leaves space for all the plugs and cables in the back.
- Unlike most options, this one comes with clear instructions that are easy to follow.
Cons
- It’s designed for large TVs, so it’s very heavy and requires multiple people to lift and install.
Wali TV Ceiling Mount
A gift from above
For those who want their TV mount to be positioned from above, this offering from Wali is ideal. Since it isn’t attached to a wall, this mount allows your TV to be rotated a full 360 degrees and accommodates a multitude of vertical angles as well. And thanks to its alloy steel construction, it can hold sets that weigh up to 110 pounds with ease. This is the TV mount for those who want a unique and unobstructed view of their favorite shows and movies.
Pros
- Since it’s not limited by the location of your walls, it allows your TV to be placed as far or close to you as you wish.
- The design is flexible enough to let you set it up with various configurations of parts and tools.
Cons
- The instructions can be difficult to follow, though the process is fairly straightforward.
