The new television has been bought, and now at the latest the question arises: What is the best way to attach it in order to set up the home cinema as conveniently as possible? When deciding for or against a TV wall mount, different factors can be decisive.
For example, is it safe to drill in your own home? Does the TV have to be placed in a corner of the room? And do you have a helping hand in an emergency, or do you depend on the simplest and quickest possible assembly? TECHBOOK reveals the most important details to consider when it comes to TV wall mounts and presents the best products from market leaders, among which you are guaranteed to find the right one for every home.
What makes a good TV wall mount?
Stability, easy installation and planning freedom – these are the most important selection criteria for TV wall mounts. Depending on the size of the television, different challenges have to be considered and solved preventively in product development. The resilience of the mount is an absolute must, especially for larger devices. Just as important, however, is a special solution for curved TV sets or brackets that can be attached to the wall without drilling. Maximum flexibility, even for small rooms, and often changing viewing angles after installation are definitely advantages with which several of the winners in the comparison are convincing.

Attach a TV wall mount without drilling? Yes, it works thanks to Erard’s innovative concept.

The manufacturer is aware of the problem and, with the Erard STANDiT 400, has created a bracket with which televisions can be stably attached to the wall – without a drill. The TV wall bracket is attached using the special screws supplied. The design also cleverly prevents tangles of cables. The relatively high price of this innovative solution is definitely worth it.

All products offer a stable, secure hold, but there are clear differences when it comes to freedom of movement. TECHBOOK was particularly impressed by the award-winning One For All WM6681 TV mount, which enables maximum flexibility in alignment.
