Attaching a flat-screen TV does not need to be a day-long team event. Instead, opt for a straightforward, no-fuss option like this one from Mounting Dream. Jaqueline Saguin, a former editor at the GH Institute, has moved apartments twice and found this TV wall mount "super easy" to assemble, install and uninstall.

Made of alloy steel, this durable TV wall mount has kept Saguin's 43-inch television stable for over two years. It includes high-quality screws, which can be attached to wood studs, concrete walls and brick walls. "Thanks to its heavy-duty brackets and bolts, it feels very secure on my wall when installed with the proper tools," Saguin shared.

Saguin isn't the only fan of this product: More than 90,000 Amazon reviewers gave this TV wall mount a five-star rating, stating that they were impressed with the ease of installation, simple instructions, durability and the budget-friendly price tag. Saguin and some reviewers appreciated the adjustable bars to slightly angle the TV downward, but keep in mind that the range of motion and tilt of this model is a bit more limited than other options. (If you want no range of movement for your TV, consider purchasing Mounting Dream's Fixed TV Mount.)

This wall mount is compatible with a universal VESA pattern (the spacing of the mounting holes on the back of your television) of a minimum of 200 x 100 mm and a maximum of 600 x 400 mm, which is a large range and will be compatible with a variety of screens.

Mount type: Tilting | TV size compatibility: 37–75" | Weight limit: 132 lbs | Movement range: 8˚ tilt | Compatible walls/studs: Wood studs or concrete and brick walls | Distance from wall: ‎1.5" | VESA pattern range: 200 x 100 mm to 600 x 400 mm

Pros
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (16)Ultimate range of motion for swiveling
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (17)Easy to install
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (18)Can extend and retract against the wall
Cons
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (19)Only suitable for small TVs

Watch your favorite show or movie from any corner of the room with this full-motion TV wall mount. Swivel your screen up to 90 degrees left or right and rotate 360 degrees for landscape and portrait orientation, depending on your TV's size and where you install it (avoid tight corners to get the best swiveling experience!).

You can adjust the angle up 9 degrees and down 11 degrees when the sun is peeking through the window and causing a glare. Plus, the wall mount can extend up to 14.59 inches to bring the screen closer to you and retract back to the wall at 2.7 inches to move the TV out of the way.

We spoke to a user of this model who recently bought three of them for a new condo. He told us it was "easy to install this TV wall mount when following the product's simple-to-follow instructions." He also shared that the bracket felt lightweight, and he appreciated the swivel tilt extension. Plus, you only need a single wood stud rather than two thanks to the singular mount wall plate.

Because the maximum size, weight and VESA pattern are on the lower end, this TV wall mount isn't the best option for large televisions, but it can work perfectly for small screens or monitors in bedrooms and apartments with less wall space.

Mount type: Full motion | TV size compatibility: 13–42" | Weight limit: 44 lbs | Movement range: 90˚ left or right, 360˚ orientation and +9˚/-11˚ | Compatible walls/studs: Single wood stud or concrete and brick walls | Distance from wall: ‎2.7"–14.59" | VESA pattern range: 75 x 75 mm to 200 x 200 mm

4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (21)

Pros
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (22)Suits a wide range of TV sizes, especially large screens
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (23)Can hold up to 165 pounds
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (24)Low profile keeps TV close to the wall for cleaner appearance
Cons
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (25)Tilting the screen is a bit more difficult

It can seem impossible to mount a large, heavy flat screen TV to a wall, but this heavy-duty wall mount bracket is up to the challenge. It's compatible with TV sizes ranging from 32 to 90 inches and a maximum weight of 165 pounds, so you can attach a fairly massive TV to your wall without concern.

Recommended by Grace Wu, Textiles, Paper & Apparel Lab Product Analyst at the GH Institute, this TV wall mount is durable. "We’ve been using this one in my home for the past five years for our 75-inch flat screen TV. It was easy to install and has held up well without any issues," Wu shared.

Adjusting the TV up and down doesn't require any tools, but you'll have to twist the tilting knob to tilt the screen up 5 degrees or down 15 degrees. Other models only call for pushing the TV around for different angles, but this setup secures and stabilizes the screen, making it more ideal for larger, more expensive TVs.

While over 18,000 five-star review on Amazon praised the "very" low profile — meaning the TV wall mount is set closer to the wall and is less noticeable — some admitted that, at 1.49 inches from the wall, it may be too close. "Its low profile is great but can make adjusting the level and tilt after the TV is up hard (you can't get your hands between the TV and wall easily)," one wrote.

Another shared, "You will likely want to have all your cables pre-attached before you mount it on the wall. I had a little difficulty getting my TV’s power cord attached because I didn’t do this."

Mount type: Tilting | TV size compatibility: 32"–90" | Weight limit: 165 lbs | Movement range: 5˚ tilt up and 15˚ down | Compatible walls/studs: Wood studs or concrete and brick walls | Distance from wall: 1.49" | VESA pattern range: 100 x 100 mm to 600 x 400 mm

4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (27)

Pros
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (28)Suits a wide range of TV sizes
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (29)Can easily tilt the screen with one touch
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (30)Low profile without restricting tilt
Cons
  • 4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (31)Some reviewers say a separate, sturdier wall stud is needed

Easily adjust the tilt of your TV as the day goes on with one touch of the screen. Simply push on the top or bottom of the TV screen to angle it up or down to move your TV away from glares and adjust it to your liking. Along with the 10-degree range of movement, the TV bracket can slide side-to-side to perfectly position the TV along the wall.

One user we spoke to installed this TV wall mount for his parents. He said, "It was easy to install and has held up well. We had a good experience, so I bought the same one for us!"

The TV wall mount comes preassembled, making it easier than ever to assemble and install right onto almost any wall, but we recommend using a wall stud to truly secure larger TVs. Some online reviewers said they used a separate wood mount to attach it to the wall.

Even with this tilt and range of motion, this TV extends only 9 inches from the wall, giving it a low-profile appearance and optimizing space by staying close to the wall.

    Mount type: Tilting | TV size compatibility: 37–80" | Weight limit: 132 lbs | Movement range: 10˚ tilt | Compatible walls/studs: Drywall, concrete, brick or wood studs | Distance from wall: 1.9" | VESA pattern range: 100 x 100 mm to 600 x 400 mm

    How to choose a TV wall mount

    4 Best TV Wall Mounts of 2024, Tested and Reviewed (32)

    At the end of the day, the best TV wall mount is not necessarily the one with the most features or highest price tag. Instead, the best option is one that will be easy for you to install (and, one day, uninstall), is compatible with your TV and suits the size of your wall. Here are some points to consider when choosing a wall mount:

    ✔️ Mount type: TV wall mounts can mainly be categorized into tilting, full-motion, fixed and corner mounts. Fixed wall mounts offer no range of movement, while full-motion mounts have the widest range of movement. Consider where you are placing your TV, and check the movement range (how far it tilts or swings) to guarantee that you will have room to attach and move the screen around.

    ✔️ Wall compatibility: TVs cannot be mounted directly into drywall without being secured to studs. All the TV wall mounts we included in this story can be attached to concrete, brick and almost any type of wall with the help of wood studs. "Even though flat-screen TVs have become a lot lighter in recent years, it’s still critical that whatever mount you use is securely anchored to a wall stud," says Dan DiClerico, who is Good Housekeeping's Home Improvement & Outdoor Director. He recommends using a stud finder to locate studs behind drywall. Older homes with plaster walls may need toggle bolts and anchors.

    ✔️ Size range, weight capacity and VESA patterns:

    Before making any purchase, the most important features to consider are the maximum TV size, weight capacity and VESA pattern (this refers to the spacing of the mounting holes on the back of the television). Check the dimensions of your TV to ensure the wall mount can safely and securely hold your screen. Then, be sure to look at the configuration of the mounting holes on the back of your TV and pick a compatible mount.

    ✔️ Installation: Be sure to read the product's description and, if possible, watch a video of the assembly and installation process. Some wall mounts may require extra tools and a second set of hands to install, while others can be attached to the wall in as little as three steps. Consider your skill set and toolbox so you'll pick one that will be doable for you to install on your own or with some help.
