Fixed LCD wall mounts hold the display in one position, typically close to the wall, for a clean, low-profile installation. Tilting LCD wall mounts add an adjustment mechanism that lets installers angle the display, which can help with viewing position and access to connections during installation or service.

Install the LCD wall mount into structural framing, typically two studs, rather than relying on drywall alone; for masonry, use anchors rated for the wall material and display load. Before installation, verify the stud locations, display weight, VESA pattern, mount rating, and supplied hardware, and check the display’s mounting-hole size when selecting bolts.

The clearance behind an LCD wall mount depends on the mount design and the depth of the display connections, so check the display’s cable bend radius, outlet location, and connected equipment before installation. Low-profile fixed mounts can sit as close as 1.18 inches from the wall, while tilt mounts extend farther from the wall, and a fixed mount without a back plate may help reduce conflicts with wiring and outlets.

Look for LCD wall mounts with post-installation leveling screws, vertical adjustment, and an installer-friendly wall plate to help correct minor alignment issues after installation. Lockable tabs on the mounting arms help limit accidental lifting and can accommodate an added locking device for display security.
