The Complete Guide to TV Wall Brackets: Features, Types & What’s Best for You

Wall-mounting your TV isn’t just a space-saving move—it’s about enhancing your viewing angle, improving room aesthetics, and creating a sleek, modern setup. But not all TV wall brackets are created equal. Depending on your needs, you may want tilt, swivel, rotation, or full-motion movement.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the different functions and types of TV wall mounts, and the real-world benefits each one brings.

🔧 What Can a TV Wall Bracket Do?

Wall brackets offer various motion options to help you get the best screen position for comfort, style, and practicality.

  1. Tilt – Adjust the screen up or down
    Benefit: Reduces glare from windows or lights and enhances viewing from lower seating or beds.
  2. Swivel – Rotate the TV left or right
    Benefit: Perfect for open-plan rooms or corner installations where viewers sit at different angles.
  3. Rotation – Switch between landscape and portrait
    Benefit: Ideal for digital signage, interactive displays, or vertical content consumption.
  4. Full-Motion (Articulating) – Offers tilt, swivel, and extension from the wall
    Benefit: Maximum flexibility for shared spaces, corner mounting, or accessing ports behind the TV.
