A wall-mounted television can transform a room, freeing up floor space and creating a clean, modern aesthetic. However, with so many options available, choosing the correct bracket can feel overwhelming. Are you struggling with screen glare from a window? Do you need to save space in a smaller room or find a solution for an awkward corner?
As the Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, my role is to help you navigate these choices. This guide cuts through the clutter to provide practical advice, helping you select a TV wall mount that fits your television, your room and your viewing habits perfectly.
Before you start browsing, a few key considerations will ensure you find a compatible and functional mount.
This is the most important step. On the back of your television, you will find four screw holes in a square or rectangular pattern. The distance between these holes, measured in millimetres, is the VESA mount standard. A mount with a VESA 100x100-400x400mm compatibility will fit any TV with a VESA pattern within that range. Always check your TV's manual or measure it yourself. Additionally, ensure the mount's maximum weight capacity and supported screen size range (e.g., for 23-70 inch TVs) are greater than or equal to your television's specifications.
Different mounts offer different levels of flexibility:
In the UK, most modern homes have internal walls made of plasterboard (drywall) fixed to a timber frame. It is critical that you do not mount a TV bracket directly onto plasterboard alone. The mount must be securely anchored into the wooden studs behind the plasterboard. For solid brick or concrete walls, you will use the appropriate wall plugs and screws, which are often included with the mount. Always check the manufacturer's instructions.
Here are our recommendations, selected to meet a range of common needs, from ultimate flexibility to a sleek, low-profile setup.
Why It Stands Out: This mount’s standout feature is its gas spring mechanism. It allows for effortless, tool-free height adjustment, making it incredibly easy to move the TV up or down to the perfect level for gaming, working, or watching from different positions.
Pros:
Who is it for?: This is an ideal choice for anyone who needs to frequently change their TV's position, whether for different activities or for viewers of different heights. It also functions well as a corner tv mount due to its long articulating arm.
Why It Stands Out: This is a robust and versatile workhorse. Its dual-arm construction provides excellent stability for larger televisions up to 70 inches and 45 kg, while still offering the full range of motion needed for a flexible viewing experience.
Pros:
Who is it for?: A great all-round option for homeowners with medium to large TVs who want the flexibility of a full motion tv bracket without compromising on strength and security.
Why It Stands Out: This mount is all about minimalism. Its ultra-slim profile holds the TV just 38 mm from the wall, creating a picture-frame effect that is clean and unobtrusive. Despite its slim design, it still offers a useful tool-free tilting function.
Pros:
Who is it for?: This is the perfect slim tv wall mount for those who prioritise aesthetics and want their TV to blend seamlessly into the room's decor, while still retaining the ability to tilt for viewing comfort.
These three recommendations cover some of the most popular requirements, but every home and setup is unique. If you need a mount for a larger screen, a different style, or specific features not mentioned here, you can find a wider selection to suit your needs.

1. Can any TV wall mount fit any TV? No. Compatibility is determined by three factors: the TV's VESA pattern (the screw hole spacing on the back), its weight and its screen size. You must choose a mount that matches or exceeds your TV's specifications in all three areas to ensure a safe and secure installation.
2. Is it safe to mount a TV on a plasterboard wall? It is only safe if the mount is anchored directly into the solid wood studs that form the wall's frame. You should never attach a TV mount to the plasterboard itself, as it is not strong enough to hold the weight. Use a stud finder to locate the studs before drilling. For brick or concrete walls, use the appropriate heavy-duty fixings.
3. What is a full motion TV bracket? A full motion tv bracket, or articulating tv arm, is a type of mount that offers the greatest range of movement. It allows you to pull the television out from the wall, swivel it from side to side and tilt it up or down. This makes it easy to adjust the viewing angle for different seats, avoid glare, or access the ports on the back of the TV.
