It also doesn&#8217;t hurt if the mount can swivel or be adjusted to the angle of your choosing. With all that in mind, we loved Mounting Dream&#8217;s mount. Reliable and offered at a great price, this mount is mighty strong despite being lighter than many competing mounts. It can also be tilted to help you find the perfect viewing angle. We also love Pipishell&#8217;s mount, which can swivel up to 45 degrees in either direction. It&#8217;s also very easy to install.

Fortunately, Pipishell&#8217;s wall mount bracket takes the back-breaking work out of the equation. Unlike single-piece devices, this mount relies on two brackets that attach to the television independently of the wall plate. Once in place, the brackets lock into place, eliminating the need for a second pair of hands. Installation aside, the unit is compatible with various types of wall surfaces and pairs perfectly with curved and conventional monitors.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We love that it can swivel up to 45 degrees on each side, as this makes it easy to adjust the viewing angle to accommodate the needs of anyone in the room.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We appreciate that the mount comes with nuts, bolts, and a complimentary HDMI cable.

The two-piece system boasts a quick-release strap that makes installation hassle-free, and it&#8217;s compatible with multiple stud spacings.

While concrete or solid wood exterior walls can lend some support, nothing replaces the secure hold of a wall stud, so you should always aim to fasten your mount to a stud. Most homes have studs spaced at sixteen to twenty-four-inch intervals, making them fairly easy to find. Once you&#8217;ve found them and you&#8217;re preparing to install your mount, remember to place the device in the middle of the stud for maximum hold. Additionally, consider the hardware you are using. If, for whatever reason, you cannot use your wall studs, be sure to use lag or toggle bolts instead of standard screws to disperse weight more evenly across the drywall.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>What is VESA?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VESA, which is short for the Video Electronics Standards Association, is the organization responsible for developing standards for products by which countless global manufacturers of electronics abide. The Japanese Nippon Electric Company initially founded VESA to establish rules governing monitor resolution, but since then, the association&#8217;s aims have shifted toward many other realms. Still, though, its primary focus is on advocating for universal compatibility for consumer products. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to television mounts, the VESA standard helps ensure that any product that complies with the standard will be compatible with other compliant products.
