Wall Mounting Brackets
Swivel wall mount:With swivel wall brackets you can swivel and adjust the angle at which you want to view the television. It doesn't matter whether you are sitting at one side of the screen or in front of it, you can always adjust the TV and experience the amazing picture quality.
Flat wall mount:This is one of the most basic brackets available. It can be used to simply hang the television on the wall like you hang a painting. This is not only affordable but also requires least efforts to install it. The only drawback of this wall bracket is that it cannot be moved and adjusted like a swivel wall mount.

There is an arm in it with the help of which the angle can be changed vertically. The only drawback of this bracket is that it requires more space for installation.
Wall brackets are made out of steel and they are constructed to hold TVs of different weight. The weight of the TV is usually defined by the size of the screen. A basic flat screen has the maximum weight of 100 pounds while some weigh approximately 150 pounds. "Two stud mount" is the name given to brackets that are specially made for holding larger displays. For the best viewing experience, standard wall mounts are installed in a way that the flat screen display is kept within one inch of the wall.
