Are Wall-mounted Plasma TV Brackets Safe?
Yes, they’re as safe as any other wall mounted bracket, so long as they’re fitted properly to the wall in the first place. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter, especially so if mounting the bracket to an internal or partition plasterboard wall. If in doubt about your abilities, play it safe and hire a professional to carry out the work. A variation on the wall mounted bracket is the wall stand where the screen is attached to the wall with a bracket but also supported from below by a floor stand. The alternatives to wall mounting are floor or table top stands. Although not hidden from view like a wall bracket, these stands complement the plasma screen well and are unobtrusive yet sturdy. Black, silver, dark grey or clear acrylic stands are popular, their neutral colours blending well to any colour scheme. For greatest flexibility and multi-location use, a mobile wheeled stand is the best option for moving a plasma screen from room to room with maximum safety.
