Is it convenient to place the TV in the corner of the room

If we consider solely from the technical side of this issue, then placing a TV in the corner of the room is no more complicated than fixing it in any other place in the room.

Regarding ease of use, it should be noted that the level of height, angle and other indicators that are critical for comfortable viewing are easy to adjust as you wish.

What type of mount to choose

The TV mount is called a bracket. There are several varieties:

• Fixed. In what position are fixed initially, in this position they will be. The design mobility is completely excluded, but the price is quite low.
• Inclined. Small designs that allow you to change the angle of rotation up to 20 degrees.
• Structures having a high angle of both tilt and rotation. 180 degrees is the best performance for the bracket. The advantages of this model range are that you can configure the TV panel in such a way that it will be comfortable to watch from anywhere in the room.
• Ceiling brackets. They have a tilt angle of 360 degrees. These models are designed for large rooms. With a large crowd and high ceilings. Stations, airports, shopping centers - these are places of application of just such mounts.
• For educational purposes, you can highlight homemade brackets. Some manage to make a bracket of metal with a thickness of 5 mm, on their own. Cutting out the plate, the mounting arms and putting it all together.

In this section of the conditionally called "homemade brackets" it is interesting to note that for some extraordinary people they manage to place a TV in the corner of the room without a bracket at all.

According to the reviews of those who used this method, it follows that such savings in this matter are inappropriate, and the TV after the fall can not be restored.
