Agood way to get your television off of the floor is to mount it with an LCD wall bracket. These are ideal for small spaces, and it can make your home theater system feel even more like you are at the movies. They can be found almost any where you find television sets, and many websites online. Prices and sizes can vary greatly, but here are some tips to help you find the right one for your LCD television.

Before you go out and purchase your  wall bracket, check the back of your set. There should be a pattern of screw holes for mounting it on a bracket, called the VESA size. Each VESA size has a specific number of holes, which are coordinated with the VESA number. For example, if you have VESA 75, there will be 75 holes, set 75 millimeters apart in a square. The higher the number, the more holes and the wider the space between them.

It is important that you match the number on your television with the same number on your LCD wall bracket. This makes the support of the bracket and television better, as well as provides a balanced weight distribution. If you try to attach the bracket with an incorrect pattern, then you run the risk of the television coming off the bracket and crashing to the ground.

You can buy the same brand of LCD wall bracket as the brand of television you own, or you can find an off name brand, as long as these numbers match up. You need to also write down the weight of your television as well, which is either printed directly on the set itself, or in your owners manual. This is very important in order to get a wall bracket that can support the load of your set, and if you purchase one that is too small, you could break your set, or the bracket itself.

Some LCD wall bracket systems are single mount, and other have more than one mounting surface. The single mounting bracket will often be adjustable, so you can turn or tilt you television to give you the maximum viewing pleasure. Other brackets are stationary, and these can sometimes be a cheaper way to go. If you decide to purchase a stationary design, before you put it up, you should sit where you are going to be watching your system the most, and have someone mark it on the wall.

Make sure that you are mounting the wall bracket on a wall stud, and if you find that it in an awkward position, like between the studs, you can attach a board to the wall where the studs are, and then mount your bracket to this for added support.

Make sure that your LCD wall bracket keeps the back of the television at least 16 millimeters from the wall or bracing board, in order to provide enough ventilation for the television itself. This is where your TV is going to have the most heat, as the electronics are mostly in this area. If you set gets too hot you could fry the delicate components and have to buy another one.
