It can also be a bit confusing because there are so many different makes and models available to buy such as a peerless wall mount, vesa wall mount, cantilever wall mount, projector wall mount and many others.
Tilting wall mounts are very handy if you want to reduce the amount of glare and reflections that you get onto your tv. The tilting sanus mounts allow you to swivel your tv around at different angles so that you can adjust it away from unwanted reflections or glare that can spoil your tv viewing experience and at the same time adding some elegance and style to the room.

Sanus wall mounts will certainly offer a reliable and safe solution due to there advanced effective technology.
Sanus offer specific types of wall mounts depending on the weight of your tv.The extra large flat panel wall mounts are for a 27″-84″ flat panel tv up to 280 lbs, the large sanus mounts are for a 30″-60″ flat panel tv up to 175 lbs. The sanus tilting wall mounts are designed for a 26″-42″ flat panel tv up to 100 lbs. Sanus have only one model in which you can use a 13″-23″ flat panel tv up to 50 lbs. The Sanus flat panel wall mount or also known as a plasma wall mount, lcd wall mount or flat panel mount meet the VESA 400×200 and VESA 75, VESA 100 mounting standards and regulations so you can feel confident with the safety of your lcd wall mount.

Another great piece of technology for the sanus wall mount is the virtual axis technology which moves the centre of mass of the tv while tilting is compensated. To tilt the sanus mounted tv all you do is pull the top of tv toward you at which point activates a spring-loaded latch and then all you do to hold the tv in that position is you simply tighten an adjustment handle.
A sanus wall mount is not very hard to install however if your not very DIY minded or you would just rather have an expert installer do it for you instead that is perfectly fine, after all your tv is probably worth a fair bit of money so having a flat panel wall mount fitted securely and correctly is very important. If your looking to fit the sanus wall mount yourself then there will be a plate that will need fixing to the wall with a long bolt, sometimes a few bolts are required but it depends on what size and weight of tv you will be using your mount for. Depending if you go for a peerless wall mount, vesa wall mount or a cantilever wall mount or you stick to the recommended sanus wall mount the installation guidelines may be a little different but they are usually similar. There will usually be rails that attach to the back of the lcd tv with screws in ready made holes from the manufacture. The rail from the back of the tv will then be set into the wall plate which will then secure your tv. If the sanus wall mount is a tilting style mount then there will also be a type of swivel device included to allow the tv to be adjusted after mounting.
