Plasma and LCD TV Stands, Cabinets, and Wall Brackets

When you make the investment of purchasing a LCD or plasma TV, it's best to decide on and buy something that will help display your television and protect it at the same time. There are several different items that will work for this.

Tv Wall Mount Shelves

There are TV wall brackets that you can purchase that will mount your LCD or plasma TV on a wall for you. There are a few different varieties of these wall mounting brackets. There are low-profile TV wall mount brackets, tilting wall mounting brackets and full-motion wall mount brackets.

Low profile brackets look and feel a lot like hanging a picture on a wall. Strong, metal brackets are braced to the wall, and your LCD or plasma TV hangs on top of them securely. You have to be sure about where you want to hang it because once it's up there, there's no adjusting, and it's hard to remove afterwards. Low-profile wall mounting TV brackets are the cheapest of the different types of wall mounting brackets, and they're the easiest to install, as well.

Tilting wall mount brackets are like low-profile TV wall mount brackets except for the fact that tilting wall mount brackets are adjustable in a side to side motion to make them easy to view from different positions. These brackets are in the moderately priced range. The difficulty of putting tilting wall mount brackets on the wall is comparable to the difficulty level of the full-motion wall mount brackets.

Full-motion wall mount brackets are basically arms that extend your television away from the wall, and they are on an axis that offers a full range of motion for your TV, making it viewable by adjustment from anywhere in the room. Full-motion wall mount brackets are the most complicated TV brackets to mount, and they are often the most expensive, as well.

There are TV stands that are made especially for LCD and plasma TVs. Some have mounting bars on the back of them, and some are made to fit a flat panel TV on them securely. You can find these stands in different materials. The mounted types of stands are usually made of metal. You can find a TV stand made partly of metal, and partly of wood. There's even a stylish looking TV stand made of glass and metal.

Another item that can be used to put your LCD or plasma TV on is a TV cabinet. There are TV cabinets made today to fit LCD and plasma flat panel style TVs. They come in wood, metal, and glass. There are TV cabinets that close up and hide your television when it's not being used. There are other styles of cabinets that look like book shelves. They hold your television, while displaying other items on their multiple shelves.

With all the different items available today to put your plasma or LCD television on, you can make your new TV blend seamlessly into your living area without allowing it to become a chunky eyesore.

The TV Shelf - Types and Trends of TV Shelves

You've bought that brand new high-def plasma TV, and you need a place to put it.  You could mount it on the wall, but that seems like a lot of work, and you are not confident enough in your installation abilities to hang it without seeing it crash to the ground in a heap of shattered plastic and wire.  You could go with an entertainment center, but that seems a bit much - you don't need to attach anything to it; you just need the TV itself.  Enter the TV Shelf.

Tv Wall Mount Shelves

TV Shelves are a great alternative to a traditional TV stand.  They offer significant space savings yet are stable and sturdy.  TV Shelves will accommodate most types of television sets - LCD, DLP, Plasma or even older CRT models.  There are several different types of TV Shelves you can choose from, and depending on your situation one may be more appropriate than another.  Let's take a look at each type.

Pull-Out Shelves

Great for adding a TV to an existing cabinet or armoire, pull-out TV shelves are versatile and can be installed onto any sturdy piece of furniture that can accept the screw or bolt attachments.  These stands move back and forth on rails allowing you flexibility in positioning your television.  If you have an entertainment center you use for your stereo equipment, but have no room for a TV, you may consider adding a pull-out TV stand to the unit so you can keep all of your media devices in one location.

Hanging Shelves (or Ceiling Mount Brackets)

Handing Shelves are a great option for adding a TV to room without taking up any floor space.  These units use brackets that are mounted to the ceiling, usually to a joist or support beam.  They consist of a thick bar which is attached to a shelf or metal brace the size of the television.  They take up only as much room as the TV itself and put it out of reach of children and visitors.

Wall-Mount Shelves

Wall-Mount Shelves are another option that conserves space, allowing you to view the television from anywhere in the room.  They are generally bolted to wall studs, but can also be mounted to solid wood furniture where appropriate.  The traditional models use a shelf to support the television, but there are also LCD models that mount directly to the back of the LCD TV set.

Swivel Shelves

Swivel Shelves are often used in conjunction with another piece of furniture to add a means of easily repositioning the television.  Often people find that they need to turn or shift their TV on the stand to accommodate visitors or to view it from a distant location.  This can be difficult and cause damage to the TV stand without a swivel shelf in between.  With the TV sitting on a swivel shelf, you can easily angle it for optimal viewing by applying a minimal amount of force.

Component Shelves

Another variety of TV Shelf is a Component Shelf.  This unit is made of multiple TV shelves, usually stacked vertically and attached to one or more wall-mount brackets.  This is perfect for displaying multiple TVs at different angles or supporting a television along with other media components, such as a DVD player or DVR.

Remember when purchasing a TV shelf, always check to make sure the shelf will support the weight of your television.  It should be clearly listed on the packaging, but ask for assistance if you cannot locate that information on the label.
