Getting the perfect picture from our HDTVs is a complex business, and relies on a number of factors. So once you’ve got the right cables, media hook ups, sound system and the like all set up, how do you get that “sweet spot” that everyone is talking about? How do you make sure you’re seeing the best image that your TV can produce?

Well, first, let’s define “sweet spot” for the uninitiated. Every TV has an elevation and angle that is the best in terms of picture clarity, quality and brightness – and this is usually smack dab in the middle. It might sound silly, but if you’re sitting on an angle, you might not be getting the most out of your TV.

Articulating Wall mounts are a great, and popular, solution to both stylish TV display and practical TV orientation. Because many of us don’t have a room that is a dedicated home theater, it can be difficult to set up our seating to perfectly match the TV’s sweet spot. However, if we are able to move the TV to match our seating, we wouldn’t have to worry about reorganizing our living rooms to hit that perfect image. It would come to us.

There is a great variety of articulating Wall Mounts out there, designed for different needs. Most articulating wall mounts will have the ability to change depth, by pulling the TV away from the wall and closer to your seating. Some can come out as far as two feet or more. They can also allow you to tilt the TV to different angles, and swivel it from left to right.

When shopping around for a mount, keep in mind wall stress and the size of your TV. Some mounts are simply not up to the job of providing a sturdy mount for larger TVs, while others are so heavy-duty that they might cause wall stress even without the added TV poundage.

Wiring your HDTV once it’s mounted is usually a straightforward task. Because articulating wall mounts allow the TV to be pulled away from the wall, you can easily get behind there and connect to your heart’s desire. And check out the “bonus” features of your mount – many of them offer a wire management system so that you install is clean and clutter-free. And here’s a tip: make sure you install the cables with the arm outstretched, or else you’re going to find yourself in a tight situation after installation.

Articulating wall mounts are wonderful devices for stylishly displaying your HDTV while adding maximum flexibility. And they would work in perfect tandem with a wall mount TV frame to produce the slickest home theater setup in the neighborhood. The wall mount TV frame products at HD Envy are designed to fit snugly on any size flat panel TV, and rotate, swivel and pivot on the mount as if they were part of the TV itself.
