If you want a truly sleek TV setup, whether it's in your lounge, a bedroom or anywhere else, wall mounting your display could be a great option. This can ensure that your TV can be repositioned easily but also go flat against the wall when desired – an ideal way to use some of the best TVs.
Wall mounts can be hard to tell apart, though, which is why we've built this guide to help you pick out a great one. Some will mount your TV flush against the wall, while others allow for full motion. When picking the right one for you, you’ll need to consider the type of TV you have and what will work best – the last thing you want is your expensive OLED smashing to pieces on the floor.
If you’re currently looking to buy a TV, then you may find you get a wall mount included, but if not, make sure you always check compatibility before you buy. We’ve reviewed each product here to let you know which ones are compatible with which make and model, and once you’ve chosen, you might also want to check out our TV wall mounting tips to make securing your TV a breeze.

The best TV bracket for most people
Fitting TVs from 37-70 inches, with a weight limit of 35kg, Proper's arm has a simple design to it belies its strengths. It's suitable for everything from 100x100 VESA mounts all the way up to 600x400, with all the hardware you need included. It makes use of a pair of vertical brackets which should mean it doesn't block any vital inputs. This is a great bracket if you're likely to re-angle your TV often, with an adjustable tilt for viewing angles.
The best dual-arm bracket
For between 32 and 90-inch panels with a weight limit of 70kg, One For All employs a dual-arm scissor design here, which offers a bit more peace of mind than single-arm brackets. It also means the Ultra Slim XL Bracket can fold pretty flat against the wall without a protracted fight to orient the bracket in exactly the right configuration. There's an angling handle, too, so you won't smear your TV's bezels with sticky fingers.
The best mount for a discreet fit
For 32 to 90-inch TVs with an 80kg limit, if you want your TV to sit pretty much flush to the wall then this is a great option. With just 13mm between the wall and TV it's very easy to forget it's even there! Despite that low profile, it can hold big and heavy TVs, which means the vast majority of TVs are compatible. Even after installing you can use a screwdriver to level the bracket and make sure your TV is perfectly straight.
The best cheap TV wall mount
Invision's budget bracket fits TVs from 24 to 55 inches in size, with a limit of 36.2kg, and lands right in the bargain bucket. The company also throws in a dinky spirit level and a 1.8m HDMI cable with your penny-pinching purchase, but don't discount it because of its price or gimmicks. It's absolutely strong enough, and its double-arm design gives it a fair amount of rigidity, although the TV portion is impressively small.
The best wall mount for monitors
Most of the mounts in this guide need a minimum TV size of 32 inches but the Mounting Dream can work with screens as little as 10 inches, up to a maximum of 26 inches. It may only hold displays up to 15kg, but at the compatible sizes, you're unlikely to top that. It also features a full 360 degrees of rotation and 15 degrees tilt both up and down to find a perfect viewing angle.
The best long-reaching wall mount
If your wall is far away from your ideal seating position, then you'll need a mount with a long reach. The Forgin Mount long reach is the answer. This model can extend up to a whopping 109cm. With a secure double articulating arm fit, it suits bigger TVs up to 95 inches and that weigh up to 75kg. You can swivel it 90 degrees left and right as well as 5 degrees up and 15 degrees down.
How to choose a TV wall mount
Think of the mounting bracket as the bridge between two things: your TV, and your wall. Both are critical factors in selecting the best TV mounting bracket for your particular situation.
Let's think about the wall. if you're looking to mount your TV to drywall, for example, you'll need a wall plate wide enough to distribute the weight of your TV over a large area, and you'll also need to find your studs to make sure you're placing that bracket in a suitable position. In brick, you'll have a little more flexibility, but you'll still need something secure enough to not bend or sag when the TV is dangling off the other end.
Realistically, today's TVs are rarely outrageously heavy, but if you have a particularly weighty screen you'll absolutely want to factor that into your mount selection. The real consideration will be your TV's mounting points. Thankfully these follow a uniform standard, known as VESA, which ensures that the same four-point brackets will fit all TVs which conform to that VESA size.
However, not all brackets include the hardware to connect to every VESA size, which is issue number one, and issue number two is port access. If your TV runs its main source connectors along the bottom, you may find that some VESA brackets make accessing these next to impossible. Most new TVs have their ports on the side for this reason, but check first with older TVs.
