By the end, you’ll know exactly what you need.

The 4 Main Types of TV Brackets

There are four main types of TV brackets available. Each one offers different levels of flexibility depending on your room layout and viewing needs.

1. Fixed (Solid Mount) Bracket — Simple & Affordable

A fixed TV bracket holds your television flat against the wall. It doesn’t tilt, swivel, or move. The TV simply sits flush to the wall for a clean, minimalist appearance.

Best For

       💠Rooms where you sit directly in front of the TV
       💠Bedrooms or living rooms with one seating area
       💠People who want a simple, picture-frame look
       💠Budget-friendly installations

Pros

       💠Most affordable bracket option
       💠Very secure and stable
       💠TV sits very close to the wall
       💠Quick and simple installation

Cons

       💠No angle adjustment after installation
       💠Glare from lights or windows cannot be adjusted
       💠Not ideal for corner mounting

This is the most popular option for many homes.

2. Tilt Bracket — Flexible & Popular

A tilt bracket keeps your TV close to the wall but allows the screen to tilt up or down.

This is especially useful when the TV is mounted higher than eye level, such as above a fireplace.

Best For

       💠TVs mounted higher on the wall
       💠Bedrooms where you watch TV while lying down
       💠Rooms with glare from windows or lights
       💠Anyone who wants slight adjustment

Pros

       💠Reduces glare by adjusting the angle
       💠More comfortable viewing when mounted high
       💠Still sits close to the wall
       💠Works on all wall types

Cons

       💠Slightly more expensive than fixed mounts
       💠Does not swivel left or right

Hangmaster Installation Price

The Hangmaster installs Tilt Brackets for $180, regardless of TV size.

3. Full-Motion (Articulating) Bracket — Maximum Flexibility

A full-motion bracket is the most adjustable option available.

It has an arm that extends from the wall, allowing the TV to swivel left, right, tilt up and down, and pull away from the wall.

This makes it easy to watch TV from multiple areas of a room.

Best For

       💠Large open-plan living areas
       💠Corner wall installations
       💠Rooms with multiple seating positions
       💠People who want maximum viewing flexibility

Pros

       💠Full range of motion
       💠Watch TV from almost any angle
       💠Perfect for corner mounting
       💠Easy access to cables behind the TV

Cons

       💠Most expensive bracket type
       💠Takes more space when extended
       💠Installation is more complex

Hangmaster Installation Price

Full-Motion Brackets are installed for $275 for TVs up to 80 inches.
For 90-inch TVs, installation costs $700.

4. Ceiling Mount — A Unique Solution

A ceiling mount suspends your TV from the ceiling instead of attaching it to a wall.

While less common in homes, it works extremely well in certain situations.

Best For

       💠Commercial spaces like gyms, cafés, and restaurants
       💠Rooms with no suitable wall
       💠Large open areas
       💠Spaces requiring 360-degree viewing

Pros

       💠Completely frees up wall space
       💠Ideal for large open environments
       💠Some models rotate 360°

Cons

       💠Installation is more complex
       💠Not suitable for low ceilings
       💠Cable management can be challenging

5 Things to Consider Before Choosing a TV Bracket

1. Where Will You Sit?

If you sit directly in front of the TV, a fixed bracket works perfectly.
If you watch from multiple angles, consider a full-motion mount.

2. How High Will the TV Be Mounted?

If your TV is mounted above eye level, a tilt bracket helps angle the screen downward for comfortable viewing.

3. What Type of Wall Do You Have?

TV mounts can be installed on most wall types, including:

       💠Brick
       💠Concrete
       💠Plasterboard (Gyprock)

Professional installation ensures proper support and safety.

4. What Size Is Your TV?

Most mounts support a wide range of sizes.
However, extra-large TVs (90 inches or more) require specialised brackets for safety.

5. Do You Need Cable Access?

If you have multiple devices like:

       💠Gaming consoles
       💠Soundbars
       💠Streaming devices

A full-motion bracket makes it easier to access the back of the TV.

Common Mistakes When Choosing a TV Bracket

Avoid these common issues:

       💠Buying the cheapest bracket without checking VESA compatibility
       💠Mounting a TV too high with a fixed bracket
       💠DIY installation on brick or concrete without the proper tools
       💠Forgetting about cable management
       💠Choosing a bracket that cannot support your TV’s weight
