Even smaller components like a ROKU or Apple TV can be attached to the back on the mount (assuming you’ve got a power source dropped behind the TV, which we can do). It allows you to tilt and adjust the viewing angle, as well as allowing plenty of room between the TV and the wall for the cords. This type of TV mount is what we always suggest against a fixed one. For this reason, we here at Stereo and Video Center try to suggest against using these. This can cause premature failure of cords and components. This is fine depending on the seating arrangement, but the other issue is the room for cords and components between the TV and wall.Ī fixed mount gives very little space to run wires, and depending on the location of the inputs on the back of the TV you could run into an issue with wires being bent and crimped to fit into them. Once the TV is on the wall you cannot adjust the viewing angle. The fixed mount option is just as it sounds.
