TV Wall Mount Brackets – Flush/Flat To The Wall

If you plan to mount it at the height of your eyes, then a flush mount is fine. Flush mounts hold the tv a little closer to the wall but makes it difficult to hook up your wires. And mounting tv at eye level normally doesn’t look esthetically pleasing.

TV Wall Mount Brackets – Tilting Mounts

But you may want to use a tilt mount if mounting your plasma TV higher then the eye level like above a fireplace.

Mounting plasma TV up a little higher on the wall you’ll want to aim the TV down a little, so you can do it using a tilt mount on your TV. I’d go with tilt mount.

A tilt mount is normally best. Tilt mount usually has several mounting angles to select from so make sure you consider this when buy a plasma TV mounting bracket. Tilt wall mounts set at 15 degrees works out perfectly!
We normally mount the tv so the bottom of tv is about 42-50″ off the floor.

Peerless would be my number one pick with maybe Sanus number 2. Go to peerlessmounts.com and you can find the right one by entering your model number. The mount you need is based not only on a brand but also on where your mounting holes are.
