Type

Wall mount. Device for attaching the TV to the wall; it attaches directly to the surface, without additional items. Such an installation will be especially useful in small rooms where the area does not allow the use of a floor stand. However mounting to the wall requires certain labor costs (for example, a concrete wall will have to be drilled).

Ceiling mount. Device for attaching the TV to the ceiling. As well as wall-mounted, it does not require additional equipment, pieces of furniture, etc., and allows you to save space, however, installation is associated with some difficulties, and it is inconvenient to constantly watch TV with your head up. Therefore, such a mount is designed primarily for public places, where it is important to protect equipment from theft and vandalism.

Desktop mount. Device for mounting the screen on a table or similar surface. The specific installation method may be different: among desktop models, there are both stands without additional clamps, and stands with clamps and/or bolt-through fastening (see "Installation"). However, anyway, desktop models are intended mainly for monitors — in cases where their own stand is either completely absent in the design, or does not fit in one way or another.

Floor mount. Stand designed for installation on the floor. Usually it is not rig...idly fixed, it can be rearranged if desired, there are even models with wheels. Unlike various stands (see below), it is designed primarily to accommodate a TV, and any additional shelves are the exception rather than the rule. The advantage of floor mounts is ease of installation, the disadvantage is the need for space on the floor.

— Stand. The stand in this case is a separate piece of furniture with one or more shelves, and sometimes even drawers. The TV on the stand is installed on the top shelf on its own stand, and the remaining shelves can be used to place additional equipment (for example, a DVD player or media centre) or other items. Such stands are as simple as possible to install and use — they are simply placed on the floor, like ordinary tables. They also have practically no compatibility problems: the working part is a regular flat surface suitable for any complete stand (within certain dimensions and weight, of course). The main disadvantage is the space occupied on the floor, due to which the stands are poorly suited for tight spaces. In addition, installing a TV on its own stand is somewhat less reliable than on a mount, because. there is a possibility of overturning (albeit very small).

— Stand with mount. A kind of stand (see above), equipped with its own TV mount. Retaining most of the advantages of classic stands (easy to install, additional shelves), this design provides increased reliability — you can overturn the TV only together with the cabinet, which is almost impossible to do by accident. At the same time, the presence of a mount reduces versatility compared to conventional stands — not every TV can fit under it.

— For CRT TVs. As the name suggests, these stands are designed for older TV sets based on kinescopes (CRTs). Unlike LCD-models, such TVs have a significant thickness (comparable to the screen size) and corresponding weight, and also usually do not have their own mounting devices and are installed only on a flat surface. Stands for them have the appropriate dimensions and maximum load. Today they are rare, due to the decline in the popularity of CRT.

— For DVD players. As the name implies, these stands are designed to install DVD players, media centers and other similar auxiliary electronics. Usually, they have the simplest design: a minimum of adjustments (except for height adjustment), one, in extreme cases two, shelves; and the maximum load rarely exceeds 20 kg. Technically, a TV can also be placed on such a shelf, but this is much less convenient than using a specialized TV stand.

Stand design

— Standard. Stands in a classic design, primarily for installation along the wall; usually have a design that allows them to be installed also in the middle of the room.

— Corner. Corner stand, as the name suggests, is designed to be installed in a corner and has an appropriate shape. In some rooms, this installation may be optimal due to the size and characteristics of the situation. Technically, a corner stand can also be placed in the middle of the room, but such an installation will not always be optimal in terms of design.

Minimum size

The minimum TV screen size that can be mounted on the stand/mount. It is usually indicated for structures with mounts, for stands this parameter is irrelevant (for more details, see "Type"). The parameter is not absolutely accurate, because technically, TVs with a smaller size can fit the mount; however, in general, it allows to evaluate the scope of a particular model of mount/stand.

Max. size

The maximum size of the TV screen that can be installed on the stand/mount. Like the minimum size (see above), it is in some way a conditional indicator — TVs with a larger size can also fit for the mount, and then the main determining parameter will be the maximum weight (see below).

Max. weight

The maximum weight of the TV that can be installed on the mount/stand; more specifically, it is the maximum weight that the mount/stand can support for an indefinitely long time without any negative consequences. Unlike the screen size described above, this parameter is accurate and should not be exceeded: perhaps the stand/mount will not break immediately under excess weight, but this can happen at any time, and such a breakdown is not covered by the warranty.

It is worth considering that for classic stands with several shelves (see "Type"), the maximum wheight is usually indicated for the entire structure as a whole and is the sum of the loads for each individual shelf. Thus, the maximum weight of the TV is not limited by the total maximum wheight, but by the maximum wheight for one shelf. This does not apply to stands with mounts; they usually list the maximum wheight on the mount, in which case it corresponds to the maximum weight of the TV.

The screen size is directly related to the maximum wheight (after all, a large TV weighs more). Typically, for screens up to 24", structures with a maximum wheight of about 5-6 kg are usually quite enough, for a 32" device, about 12 kg may be needed, large 55" screens reach a maximum weight of about 25-30 kg, and in the case of plasma panels, these figures increase by 1.5-2 times However, anyway, before choosing, you should clarify the weight of the specific TV model for which the stand/mount is selected.

Number of shelves

The number of open shelves provided in the design of the stand/mount. These shelves can be used both for additional electronics (media centers, game consoles, satellite receivers, sound systems…), as well as for other items, from movies on discs to decorative items, souvenirs, etc. And in the classic stands, the TV itself is installed on the shelf. Most often there are stands with 3 open shelves, less often with 2 shelves and 1 shelf, but such options are usually supplemented with closed compartments and drawers. There are also stands with many shelves(4 or more).

Max. weight for one shelf

The maximum weight that one shelf of a stand/mount can support for an indefinitely long time without negative consequences. In stands (see "Type"), this parameter limits the maximum weight of the installed TV; see "Maximum weight" for details.

Minimum distance from the wall

The smallest possible distance between the wall on which the mount is hung and its farthest protruding point. First of all, the overall compactness of the design depends on the minimum distance: if you do not want the TV to protrude far forward from the wall, you should pay attention to models with a small minimum distance. And if the mount provides length adjustment, this parameter determines the limits of such adjustment.

Max. distance from wall

The maximum distance from the TV mounting point to the wall (in the case of ceiling mounts, to the ceiling) provided by the mount. See "Minimum distance from wall" for details.
