Key Buying Decisions
Wall type and weight
Solid masonry and timber studs hold heavy TVs; plasterboard alone needs proper fixings or a stud. Always match the mount’s VESA pattern and weight rating to your TV.
Fixed vs full-motion
Fixed mounts sit flush and cheap; tilting helps with glare; full-motion arms let you angle the TV but cost more and stick out further.

FAQ
How do I know if my wall can hold a TV?
Identify the wall type and locate studs or use masonry fixings rated above your TV’s weight. If unsure, consult a professional.
Can I mount a TV without drilling?
Freestanding stands and certain no-drill solutions exist for renters, though heavy TVs are safest on a properly fixed mount.
