When you buy the LCD TV, the toughest decision that you have to make is where will you keep the TV? Usually  the regular non-plasma TV are kept on the TV stands but these TV stands are not good for the plasma or the LCD TV’s and hence the best way to keep them in a room is by mounting them.

There are specialized TV mounts that are there which can be used for mounting the large TV’s. The best part is that you will now have the special corner TV wall mounts. You will wonder using the corner mount how you will be able to view the TV. Here is the best part that in the market there are special TV mounts available which you will be able to mount in the corner.

The main emphasis here is that you will be saving on space. These mounts are called as cantilever mounts or they are called the articulating wall mounts. These TV mounts have big steel arms which can be extended and these can swivel on the hinges very easily. No need to have it on the main wall of the drawing or the living room. This is a huge saving of the space when you are not watching TV.

The extend length is about 15.4 inches from the wall and the retracted length is about 3.4 inches from the wall. The main thing to know is the VESA specifications on the wall mount. VESA standards are what are adhered to by each and every manufacturer of the TV mounts. These standards are engraved on the back side of the TV by the TV manufacturers.

It is always better to buy the LCD TV and the mount together. The retailer will be able to give you the best deal as well you will be able to get the best TV wall mount with exact specifications.

There are a plethora of advantages to mounting a LCD TV, extra height often provides a superior viewing position, resulting in enhanced comfort when viewing, many LCD TV’s provide superior picture quality when the TV can be seen without having to look up or down. The combination of an increase in height and also the fact that a flat panel TV is physically bolted to the Cantilever Stand providing superior safety in houses containing toddlers or pets. With a traditional stand it would be possible for a child to pull the television forwards, modern flat TV’s are very light and can be tipped over quite easily. An excitable pet could also bump into a table top stand and send your TV downwards, by design these stands decrease the chance of this happening. Almost all mountable TV stands have weighted bases resulting in highly stable products, combine this with the increased height andbolted television and you have a much safer solution for your home.

Another significant advantage presented by Cantilever Plasma Stands comes into play when connecting other equipment, when mounting a television to the wall cabling must reach, such as a DVD player, amplifier or games console, this requires a cable duct to be put inside the wall or a piece of trunking down the wall to cover otherwise messy cabling, with a tall mounting stand you usually have a specially designed cable management option and some products even feature four way power adaptors. When it comes to adding new equipment with a stand of this nature it is straightforward to access the back of your television, when wall mounting it can be a real inconvenience. This type of stand is a far more convenient way of mounting a television than wall mounting.

According to Deni, her son spends a lot of his time playing video games and editing videos. Various blogs on the internet are all a-twitter with different opinions of the techno teen treat but the overwhelming opinion is that the purchase was surely over the top and a ridiculous investment. One can dare say with an air of true common sense that if Deni’s son wasn’t offered the big TV and all the equipment that goes with it, then he wouldn’t be spending so much time using it.

Looking at the pictures, most people over the age of 21 would automatically balk at the idea of having the flat screen mounted to the ceiling for fear of being forced to lie down to play video games and watch TV. Hopefully the reinforced ceiling mounts also came with a discount at the local chiropractor’s office.

Though the TV is mounted straight over the twin bed in the room, Deni has been quoted as saying that “He (her son) and his friends can prop themselves up just about anywhere and get a good view.” (Electronichouse.com, 2009 Home of the Year Awards)

Having been to many open houses in newer communities, I have blurted out the occasional “ooh and aah” over some ‘over the top’ household techno gadgets myself – so I do not condemn those who are in awe of the big screen over the bed. I am, however, in the apparent majority who is wondering if Deni actually believes that a big screen TV over her son’s bed is the best way to cultivate intellectual pursuits, exercise, healthy living and maturity for her son.

In a world that fairly begs us to babysit our kids with PSP, Xbox, iPod and the like, it is no wonder that such an extravagant screen finally made its way above the bed of a child. With DVD players mounted in vehicles, satellite TV and radio available via mp3’s and Wifi available in nearly every restaurant, there is no doubt a band of adults have successfully been marketing the theory that technology itself will somehow make kids smarter, better and more able to support themselves in the future.

What we don’t hear as much about anymore is the library, board games, taking walks, hiking, playing frisbee, going fishing, reading a book, writing a letter…pursuits that challenge the mind and create family cohesiveness.  These are the activities that will actually garner smarter, better kids for the future.

Will the Deni family all pile into their son’s twin bed to watch a family friendly movie together? Or tune into a church service Sunday morning as they huddle in their PJ’s on the bed? Highly doubtful.

What we give our children, what we share with them, how we treat them and how we spend time with them will come back to haunt us or comfort us when we’re older. We must remember what it says in Proverbs 22:6. “Train up a child in the way he shall go and when he is old he will not turn from it.” (This encompasses the good and the bad we train our children !)

1.First you need to buy a wall mounting kit that meets the size requirements of your TV.( In my case it was a 32 inch TV). Most kits are universal to the TV size no matter the brand of your TV….Buy your kit.( I got mine at Target).

2. Decide where you want to put your TV. Remove all the instructions and hardware from your kit. And gather all your tool. Take your stud finder and find a stud in the wall that you can place your mount on. ( You need a stud because it will be able to hold the weight of your TV). Your going to eventually put lag bolts into these stud. You should mark the studs with a pencil.

3. Hold your mounting bracket so that the bolt holes line up with your stud. Decide how high or low you want the TV. Use your level horizontally and vertically to see if your TV will be level. Make sure you are level. Believe me you will notice if you’re not.

4. Time to put the lag bolts in. Try to get someone to help you hold the mount while you put the bolts in the wall. You need to grab your ratchet and socket. (socket size depends on the size of your bolts, mine was 1/2″)

5. Once you tighten the bolts the whole way its time for the TV. There will be brackets to put on your TV. Normally a flat head screw driver will do. Put the brackets on and have the person that was helping you help you with the TV.

6. Attach the brackets on the back of the TV (that you just put on) to the wall mount. Lock the TV to the mount (Usually just pushing a metal bracket up, should be very easy, check your manual for sure.)

7. Connect your wires and watch your new wall mounted TV.
