Inclined brackets allow to regulate TV inclination up/down. If to you it is necessary not only to incline the TV, but also to turn it, think over purchase of inclined swinging bracket.

4. Make sure that the design of the chosen bracket will not close access to important connectors on the TV back panel. Also choose bracket thickness, considering what connectors are connected from TV rear side. So, for example, the antenna connector demands the minimum thickness of bracket of 2-3 cm.

5. Do not forget when choosing bracket about its color registration and exterior. White, silvery brackets are perfectly combined with light TVs, respectively, black and dark gray – with black.

6. Practically of any bracket producers specify the recommended diagonal for TV in the description and technical characteristics. These data are not so important when choosing bracket. They have only advisory nature. However other above-mentioned characteristics need to be considered. In most cases it is also necessary to consider dimensions of bracket and the TV – the assembly plate of bracket because of the TV should not be visible.
