Installation

Method of table mount installation (see "Type") to the tabletop.

This parameter is specified for those models that have additional devices for fixing on the table — a clamp, a platform for bolt-through mounting, or both. In addition, there are ordinary stands that do not have fixing devices; they are as simple as possible to install and move from place to place, but they are not very reliable.

As for the different installation methods, their features are as follows:

— Clamp. Fixation with a clamp attached to the edge of the table. Clamps are more limited in their choice of mounting location than bolts — such a mount cannot be installed in the middle of a countertop. At the same time, such installation is much easier both during the initial installation and when moving the structure from place to place: there is no need to drill a table, preparing a place for bolts. And the limited choice of location is often compensated by an abundance of adjustments that allow you to set the optimal position of the screen. Due to this, clamps are the most popular in desktop mounts.

— Bolt-through mounting. Mounting with bolts through holes in the countertop. The main advantages of this option are reliability, as well as the ability to choose the installation point almost anywhere on the countertop. On the other hand, the installation procedure itself...is quite complicated and involves permanent placement in one place, without moving — after all, it is necessary to drill holes for the bolts. Therefore, such a method of installation in its pure form is extremely rare nowadays — universal mounts have become more common (see below).

— Universal. Mounts that allows two mounting options described above at once — using a clamp to the edge of the countertop or using bolts. This design allows you to choose the best option. At the same time, it is technically easy to provide both a clamp and the possibility of bolt-through installation in one mount; therefore, most mounts with the possibility of using bolts are universal.

Minimum size

The minimum TV screen size that can be mounted on the stand/mount. It is usually indicated for structures with mounts, for stands this parameter is irrelevant (for more details, see "Type"). The parameter is not absolutely accurate, because technically, TVs with a smaller size can fit the mount; however, in general, it allows to evaluate the scope of a particular model of mount/stand.

Max. size

The maximum size of the TV screen that can be installed on the stand/mount. Like the minimum size (see above), it is in some way a conditional indicator — TVs with a larger size can also fit for the mount, and then the main determining parameter will be the maximum weight (see below).

Adjustments

The ability to change the position of the TV installed on the mount. Adjustments make it possible to optimally adjust the location of the screen; the more there are adjustments, the wider the customization options.

For curved TVs. Stands designed for use with curved TVs. Such TVs are becoming increasingly popular — it is believed that the curved shape has a positive effect on the image quality. Note that the dimensions and curvature of such screens can be different, so the compatibility of the stand with a specific TV has to be clarified separately.

Tilt. The ability to adjust the tilt of the installed TV forward and backward relative to the vertical position. It will be useful if the TV is not installed at eye level, and also if the height of the audience changes (for example, if you are sitting on the sofa, then on the floor, depending on your mood).

Turn. The ability to turn the TV around a vertical axis, from side to side. This gives a certain freedom in moving around the room — by moving to another point, you can turn the TV in the right direction and watch comfortably.

Depth adjustment. The ability to move the TV back and forth relative to the point of attachment to the wall without changing the angle of the screen. Can be used in combination with turn — for example, if at a selected...point in the room an object on the side of the TV is blocking it, the screen can be pulled out from behind the obstruction and turned for the optimal viewing angle.

— Slide. The ability to move the TV from side to side relative to the point of attachment to the wall without changing the angle of the screen. This can be useful, for example, when rearranging: by moving the TV to the side, you can install a piece of furniture next to it that did not fit there before, without rearranging the mount itself. It can also be used in conjunction with turn, similar to depth adjustment (see above).

— Rotation. The ability to rotate the installed monitor around the horizontal axis, in other words, the ability to rotate the screen from a horizontal position (“landscape” orientation) to a vertical (“portrait”) one. In everyday use, this function is practically not in demand, and therefore is rare. At the same time, it can be useful for specialized purposes — for example, if the screen is used as a monitor and you need to work with vertically stretched materials (graphics or texts).

— Height adjustment. The ability to adjust the height of the TV on the mount. Allows you to optimally adjust the position of the screen relative to eye level, surrounding objects, etc.

Upward tilt angle

The maximum upwards tilt angle from the vertical of the installed screen. The larger the tilt angle, the wider the adjustment possibilities, however, in fact, an angle of more than 5° is rarely required.

Downward tilt angle

The maximum downward tilt angle from the vertical for the installed screen. As with the upward tilt angle, the larger this angle, the wider the adjustment possibilities; however, downward tilt is usually required more frequently (the TV may be installed under the ceiling), and its angle can be as high as 15-20°.

Rotation angle

The angle within which the screen installed on the mount can rotate. Rotation refers to turning around a horizontal axis perpendicular to the screen; see "Adjustments" for details. And the angle is usually indicated from one extreme position to another.

According to this parameter, two categories of mounts can be distinguished. In one of them, the rotation angle is small — about 10 – 15 ° — and this feature is mainly intended to compensate for inaccuracies made during the installation of the structure: even if the mount hangs slightly unevenly, rotation allows you to set the screen straight. The second variety is models with a rotation angle of 180° and above (up to 360°); they allow user to rotate the screen from landscape to portrait and vice versa.
