How to choose a TV bracket

Before buying, check three details in your TV’s specifications: the screen size in inches, the weight without the stand and the VESA pattern. VESA refers to the distance in millimetres between the mounting holes on the back of the screen, for example 200 x 200 mm. The bracket must match this pattern and support more weight than your TV. Leave a margin: a bracket designed for a slightly larger and heavier screen than yours will stay more stable over time.

Fixed, tilting or swivel wall bracket: which one to choose?

A fixed wall bracket keeps the TV just a few centimetres from the wall. It is the most discreet and affordable solution, ideal when the screen faces the sofa at eye level. Ultra-slim models are particularly well suited to very thin OLED TVs.

A tilting bracket lets you angle the screen down by a few degrees. It is useful when the TV is mounted higher than usual, for example above a fireplace or in a bedroom. It also reduces reflections from a window or a light.

A swivel bracket, also called a full-motion or articulating bracket, extends away from the wall and turns left or right. It is the right choice for an open-plan room, a living room with several seats or a corner installation. As its arm puts more strain on the fixings, it needs a solid wall.

TV stands and TV furniture: no drilling needed

Renting, or would you rather not drill? A TV stand holds your screen on the floor or on a piece of furniture, and some models tilt, swivel or adjust in height. Manufacturers such as LG and Samsung also offer stands designed for their own TVs. If you also want to store your set-top box, console or soundbar, TV furniture is the most complete solution.

How high should you mount your TV?

For comfortable viewing, the centre of the screen should be roughly at eye level when you are seated. If the screen is placed higher, choose a tilting bracket to keep a good viewing angle. Distance matters as much as height: before mounting your TV, check that its screen size suits your viewing distance. Before drilling, also check the type of wall: a plasterboard partition requires plugs suited to the load, unlike concrete or brick. Finally, a wall cable channel neatly hides the wires between the TV and the furniture.

Frequently asked questions

Which TV bracket should I choose for a 65-inch TV?
First check the VESA pattern and weight of your TV. Most of our wall brackets cover screens from 32 to 65 inches or more, in fixed, tilting or swivel versions.

How do I find my TV’s VESA standard?
It is listed in the specifications or the manual of your TV. You can also measure in millimetres the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the screen, first horizontally, then vertically.

Can you mount a TV on a plasterboard wall?
Yes, with plugs suited to the total weight. For a large screen or a swivel bracket, use a load-bearing wall or fix the bracket into the studs of the partition.
