Performance
The most important parameter of a TV wall mount is the load capacity. It indicates how much weight the TV holder can support. Versatility is the next characteristic that determines what diagonal size the design is designed for. Manufacturers usually list a range of sizes - 32-55 inches, for example. Often, TV brackets are equipped with a protective box in which the wires are laid, as well as additional shelves for installing a media player, tuner or home theater receiver.

For different sizes of diagonals and series, you can hang the TV screen at a distance of 17 to 40 mm from the wall. This gives enough space on the back of the TV to connect cables. Connecting the device will no longer be a problem, even if the cable is slightly wider and larger than usual.

The process of mounting a plasma panel on a wall with the new WMN350M wall mount has become fast, simple and safe.
