What is a TV Swivel?
A TV swivel is a mechanical device that allows anyone to easily adjust the position of a flat panel television. This type of adjustment improves the TV viewing from various watching positions. There are several different types of TV swivel available. Wall mounted devices are designed for liquid crystal display (LCD) or plasma televisions and table top models are designed for cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions. A wall-mounted TV swivel requires skill to select and install. There are two common designs for a TV swivel: a rod or a sphere. Both models allow the device to be secured to the wall and rotate on the horizontal and/or vertical axises. The cylindrical rod is secured by a washer and nut that prevents the rod from slipping out the frame. The TV itself is secured to the TV swivel through the use of prefabricated slots located on the TV set housing. It is very important to select a TV swivel model that specifically lists your TV set or the slots will not be in the appropriate locatio
