Flat Mount
A flat mount seems simple but there are many factors to consider. Flat TV mounts can make sure your TV is as close to the wall as possible. When you purchase the TV and bracket many times the hardware does not accommodate for the streamline installation your hoping for. Other installers may not have the experience or intuitiveness for the hidden pitfalls including high voltage electrical wires or water pipes behind the Sheetrock. Simple AV has the experience and knows the flush finish result you are looking for.
Tilt Mount
Tilt mounts are perfect for Televisions that need to be mounted higher than eye level. This is usually in a bedroom or over a fireplace mantel. Tilt mounts also give you better access to HDMI ports and other connections that may be needed regularly if you use game consoles or other portable components.
Swivel Mount
A swivel mount or full motion swing arm mount will not keep your TV close to the wall but it will enable you to change the viewing angle any time. This is helpful when rooms are adjacent to each other and a swivel mount TV installation can accommodate multiple seating areas. Swivel mounts are also useful in corners or concealing a TV inside a cabinet area.
Fireplace
If you choose to mount your TV over your fireplace there are a few options and some need to be considered, like a tilt mount. Mantels are usually pretty high and you will want your expensive investment as far away from heat and smoke as possible.

You may also decide on mount that extends and drops down for a better view like the one in this video.
Mirror TV

TV MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
-
Electrical Outlet: To streamline your TV installation you will need an outlet located directly behind the TV. You may also need the outlet to be recessed which allows your TV to be mounted closest to the wall. This will give the TV power plug enough clearance without pushing the TV away from the wall. Our experts will discuss this with you and advise the best option for your specific TV installation.
-
Wire Concealment: Nobody wants to see wires, especially a power cord running down the wall to a power outlet. There are wire-molds and raceways to hide wires that extrude off the wall but Simple AV will make sure all wires are concealed behind the sheet rock. We have trade relationships with reputable electricians if you do not have one already.
-
Smart TV Connections: Having a smart TV means it will need a network connection. This is possible through WiFi but may cause bandwidth issues slowing down the entire network. Smart Televisions should be hardwired for Netflix, Hulu and all other streaming video services. Simple AV can install your TV and run a hard wire to your router.
-
TV Height: A general rule of thumb is mounting the TV so the center of the television is 42" off the floor. The size of the TV and seating arrangements will determine the height of the TV. Simple AV of Austin can help you decide what the optimal height for you and your family is.
-
TV Connection Access: Depending on the TV mount option you choose, it can make it easier or more difficult to access connections on the back of the TV. Most of the time all connections will be made at the time of install, however some TV's are constantly being connected and disconnected to game consoles and other accessories. If this is your situation please let us know so we can discuss the best options for you.
