Factors To Consider For Buying The Correct TV Wall Mount Bracket In Charlotte NC
There are several different types of TV wall mount brackets on the market; you have the manufacturer’s own mounting bracket that is generally mail order only and well overpriced. Alternatively, there are dozens of TV wall mount brackets to choose from that will fit almost any make or model flat screen.
Factors To Consider For Buying The Correct TV Wall Mount Bracket In Charlotte NC:
• What is the maximum weight the tv wall mount bracket will hold? • What do you want the bracket to do? Low profile, Tilt or Articulated etc. • What are the distances between the mounting holes on the back of your screen (VESA bolts) and will the tv wall mount bracket fit? • What colour would you like the tv wall mount bracket (usually silver or black)? • Does the tv wall mount bracket come with a warranty? • How much does the bracket weigh itself? – Some are extremely heavy and may not be suitable for your wall type. • Are you able to return the bracket if it does not fit? • Is the tv wall mount bracket suitable to go onto the surface you intend to mount it on? Stone, Brick, Concrete, Plasterboard or Wood etc.
Types Of TV Wall Mounts
Low Profile or Fixed Mount
This will always be the least expensive option and will put your TV nice as close to the wall as possible to give it the picture effect. The bracket should really be no more than around 2 inches in depth. Will not work on stone due to unevenness.
Tilt Mount
The tilting mount is ideal for use where the TV wall mount may be mounted slightly higher than eye level, perhaps above a fireplace. Most tilting mounts allow a maximum of around a 15° tilt which should be enough to angle the TV down towards the sofa for better viewing. Tilt mounts are well suited for all tv wall mount projects.
Articulated Wall Mount | Tilt & Rotate Wall Bracket
Without doubt the most versatile of the TV wall mount brackets, the articulated or full motion wall mount allows you to bring the TV away from the wall on an extendable arm and angle it up, down left or right. This bracket is ideal when the TV needs to be wall mounted over a fireplace, in a corner or may need to be angled in a different direction. When the bracket is folded flat back to the wall there will be a larger gap behind the TV than you would get with a flat or tilting bracket however so make sure that this is ok. In some cases it may a gap of 3 or 5 inches depending on back of TV.
Ceiling Mount
This is the preferred TV wall mount to use when there is no wall available to mount your TV on and is often used in commercial applications such as bars and restaurants. You will need a solid steel joist or girder to mount the TV when using this bracket.
Drop Down Mounting Bracket | Mantle Mount Mounting Your TV
A fairly new type of TV wall mount is the Drop down mount or Mantle Mount. These TV mounts offer a great alternative for mount your TV over a gas fireplace. These TV wall mounts drop the the TV from over the fireplace down to eye level. While very functional they are heavy and may require stud attachment which might not be centered on fireplace. There are some available now that do span studs. Expect to pay at least double the average tv wall mount cost due to difficulty.

John did a great job installing our TV above the fireplace. Took his time and was very professional. Also used tracking to hide the cables from the TV to the cable box resulting in a very "clean" look. Call him for your TV mounting needs! God bless!

John with South Charlotte Services was awesome. Due to a glitch with our national rep we had to hire locally in the Charlotte area. We needed 69 tv's mounted within 3 days. South Charlotte Services was recommended by one of our real estate developers. We called John on Tuesday and he started on Wednesday finishing on Thursday with a day to spare. He also saved us money by using existing fiber. Very impressed. We just committed to using them on our upcoming high-rise project downtown starting in September 18'. Thanks again John!

John was great and extremely professional! He paid attention to the small details and made sure the TV was hung exactly where and how we wanted! This is the second TV installation John has done for us and I wouldn't use anyone else! So happy to have found him!

John has recently handled a few requests for me including several TV mounts and some electrical work. John is professional, extremely thorough, and neat. I plan on hiring John for some additional work in the future. His pricing is as fair as you’ll find out there and the service far exceeds expectations.

John was awesome, he patiently assembled ceiling fan fixtures and connected them and also agreed to do so in a weekend in short notice. We have placed additional request for such services in the coming days.

John was fantastic and would definitely use his services again. After another TV installer was a no-show, John made time to help us out as we had to vacate our sold home. Really appreciate his service and expertise. Highly recommend!

John was amazing. From the moment I called him with an extremely last minute request he was more than willing to squeeze me in. He worked with my unruly landlord as I was living in a different state and he handled it perfectly. He took additional photos of the work he completed as well as the rest of the home. I will highly recommend his services to anyone in need! Thank you for all of your help again John. You were truly a lifesaver.

I filled out a request on South Charlotte Services' web page to come out and install and mount my son's new TV. John called and was able to come out on the same day! I didn't consider this to be an easy install, but John knew what he was doing and it was up and running in no time. Couldn't be happier with his work! Would definitely use him again and I highly recommend him!

John did a great job with the mounting of our new 65-inch TV. We had some specific wiring needs. John took his time, and was meticulous in his execution. He communicated with us every step of the way, to make sure our needs were met. Highly recommend John! We are happy customers!

We moved to a new home and needed TV’s mounted in the family room and bedroom. After requesting a quote online through the company website, John reached back to confirm exactly what we required and sent a written quote via email. I reviewed the quote and signed it electronically. John scheduled the installation the next day (Saturday) and performed the work in about two hours. He was thorough, professional and quick. The work was neat with no mess left afterwards. He took all waste and the TV’s looked great on the wall (one over our fireplace).I am very pleased with the professionalism and end result. I plan to reach back to South Charlotte Services when I get ready to setup my media room. The rate was fair (less than another quote I received from another company). I highly recommend John and South Charlotte Services.

Called John sat 15 min before he closed but he still responded that night with an e-mail... came to the house two days later and installed my tv on the wall and ran a track to hide the cords.. he was extremely professional, courteous, fun to talk with, and knows his job inside and out... I would highly recommend him for any job you have, you won’t be disappointed....
