How To Select The Correct Visual Screen Mounts For Audio Visual Displays
Once you have chosen the right screen for your premises whether its LCD, LED, Plasma or Projector the location of the screen for the biggest viewing impact is essential. Whether you have opted for 32 inch or for a 2 to 3m projector screen you need to have them mounted in the right location and at first glance this may not always seem possible but there are many products on the market that will allow installation just about anywhere including indoor and outdoor
The basic wall mount is a flat or tilting unit which come in two sizes the smallest up to 32 inch and the largest up to 50 inch. The tilting version gives on average 15d egrees of tilt which is useful if you want to have the screen high on a wall out of finger reach.
Moving up from the basic wall mount is the single swing arm or double swing arm mount. These give you the option of pulling the screen out to the desired position from the wall and then pushing the screen back to the wall when not in use. Both arms can have tilt if required and are very useful if you wish to mount a screen into an alcove.
There are motorised wall mounts available on the market now which are remotely operated, which if you need to mount your screens out of sight when not in use can be mounted directly into wall recess or enclosure. These types of mount can be costly and they are not widely used. Ceiling mount systems are very effective if you have high ceilings and little wall space.
These mounting systems are made up of different parts. Firstly the ceiling mount which can be fixed directly onto ceilings once you have located the ceiling joists or if the joists are not in the right location then fixing a securing board first is essential.
If you have an open ceiling for example metal RSJs or wooden joists on show then you can use an RSJ mount which clamps to the girder or for the wooden joists a side mount which screws directly to the side of the joist , then the poles which come in various length usually 1m, 1.5m and 2m which can also be connected together if required.
Lastly, you have the screen mount which fits onto the bottom of the pole. As with wall mounts these have the capability of been flat or tilting and also can be turned 360degrees to get the right viewing angle. Ceiling mount systems, because they are usually above head height are very secure and have multiple fail safes for example 8mm securing bolts to stop the screen mount sliding off the pole.
An additional feature to the ceiling mount is that you can have two screens back to back if required so that you can get optimum viewing if your screens are mounted in the centre of your room.
Projector screen mounts come in two main types, wall mount and ceiling mount for both electric and manual pull down screens. If you are using rear screen or holographic screens then these can be easily suspended from a ceiling on a steel wire system.
All screens can be mounted onto brick, partition, breeze block and wooden walling with the right fixings that are ready available from DIY stores, although most mounting kits do come with the basic fixings for solid walls.
Please consider health and safety when installing your screens and if in doubt use a reputable installer who has liability insurance.
I hope you have found this article helpful in towards choosing the right Audio-Visual system.
