Best TV Corner mounts

What are the features to look for in a corner TV mount?

Single-arm or dual-arm?

Consider whether you want a single or dual-arm TV bracket. Each has its own pros and cons. A single-arm is designed for smaller screens and has more range to swivel and extension.

A dual-arm can hold more weight and is designed for larger TVs.

Extended length of the arm

The extended length of the arm is the distance that the arm can extend outwards. The larger your monitor is, the longer the corner mount arm needs to extend!

When contracted, the TV corners should be about 2 or 3 inches from the wall, this clearance helps avoid wall damage.

When a corner mount extends, the arm can reach anywhere from 19″ to 40″ depending on the type of mount.

The longer distance allows you to view the screen closer at a further distance and get a viewing angle that is optimal for your current position.

Weight capacity

We found that every corner mount will display the weight capacity each bracket can support is inside the packaging.

The weight of your TV will vary based on the model.

For example, a 50″ TV from Samsung will likely be different than a 50″ from Sony.

VESA pattern

The VESA pattern is the distance behind the four mounting holes located on the back of your TV. This pattern is measured in millimeters.

Every bracket will tell you what VESA pattern mount is compatible with the unit.

Distance when retracted to the wall

As mentioned above, this is the flat position against the wall when the TV is neutral without extending outward for single-arm corner mounts when positioned flat on the wall and not in the corner.

This distance for most brackets is about 2 to 3 inches and not much different than a standard wall mount.

Swiveling, articulating, and tilting motion

Having a full-range TV mount helps to reduce glare and allows you to customize the positioning of your screens based on your preferences.

Most of them can swivel between 90 to 180 degrees, level about 4 degrees at each corner, and tilt up to 15 degrees up or down.

Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the efficiency with which you can interact with your TV corner wall mount.

For instance, being able to adjust the height and the level of your tube may prevent you from straining your neck when viewing the screen.

Cable management

Some TV brackets come with cable management roadways to conceal your cords.

Essentially these are brackets or caps that are placed over the cords. Organization in your home entertainment system is much more aesthetic and makes your setup look sleek, modern, and tidy.

Why mount a TV in a corner?

There are many reasons why one corner TV holder is better than others. But why use a corner mount?  

1. Using a corner TV mount will save you tons of space. You won’t have to get a stand or table that will take up a lot of space. As a result, your room or living space will look less cluttered and clean. If you have a big screen, finding a big platform to hold it can be challenging without a proper sleek television mount. 
2. With a corner mount with full-motion capabilities, you’ll eliminate any potential of sun glare. For example, depending on the time of day, the sun can cause glare in your room. You’ll be able to easily extend, tilt, swivel, or level your telly until the glare is gone. 
3. You won’t experience neck or back pain. Many corner TV mounts are height adjustable and have a long extending arm so that you can adjust the positioning to prevent you from straining your back muscles to watch TV. 
4. Mounting your monitor in the corner also increases safety, especially for those who have children or pets at home. Flat screens are prone to tipping over and falling, which can be dangerous to leave only sitting around without any sort of safety locks or proper fastening to the wall. 
5. TV mounts are modern and stylish and can blend, organize and enhance your current interior design. Many are low profile and have various cable management brackets to conceal your cables and make your room look better.

Single extending arm or dual extending arm?

Before you purchase a single or dual extending arm for corner mounting your TV, there are a few things you should consider.

A single extending arm is when there is only one arm attached to the TV bracket, whereas a dual extending arm uses two arms to connect from the bracket, which requires fixing two wall studs on each arm.

Single-extending arm

Why use a single-extending arm corner mount?

• A single extending arm is better suited for lighter and smaller screens.
• Only on moving part makes the position much easier to handle, maneuver, and adjust with much more reach and flexibility.
• Easier to install and will likely only require one person rather than two to set up.
• Since the bracket connects to a single wall and requires one less arm to mount, the installation process is quite straightforward and won’t require as much DIY.
• Also, single arms have a wider range to swivel by only using one arm.

Why not use a single-extending arm corner bracket?

• Supports less weight.
• Prone to sagging when you’re carrying heavier TVs, so it’s best to pick the strongest mount you can find, like a Dual-extending arm.

Dual-extending arm

The good in dual extending arm corner mount

• One of the biggest advantages of using a dual extending arm is that they are engineered to handle weight over 200 lbs, and therefore better support TVs from sagging.
• Since there’s an additional arm acting as support, the steel construction is much more reliable when holding larger and heavier TVs.

The bad in using a dual extending corner mount

• The downside to using a dual-extending arm is that the base and arms can be heavier, and have less flexibility in overall movement.
• There are two brackets to mount which can require a second person for installation.

Personally, we recommend a dual extending arm for the extra security that can be provided if you permanently want your TV in the corner.

These boxes are prone to tipping on long wall mounts if the quality is not there. Handling tubes over 75 lbs can be dangerous, even if the single-arm has been thoroughly designed.

What is easier to install?

Single-arm TV mounts are much easier to install because the total unit weight is lighter, and only requires one wall to attach the mounting plate to.

With every corner flat-screen TV mount, you’ll need to locate the wall studs to mount the bracket too.

A single-arm only requires you to find 1 or 2 studs for one side of the wall, while a dual-arm requires your wall to have a stud at close to equal lengths away from the corner. knock your wall with your knuckles in the corner to find out.

Most single arm mounts can be installed with only one person on any existing wall structure.

There are many benefits to the Perlesmith PSCLF1 full-motion dual-arm corner TV mount. We found the quality here to be much better than what we found to be functional as the best value, next in line. While this option is priced affordably as well.

We like how this bracket is compatible with most types of TVs like Samsung, Vizio, TCL, and LG. From the box, the mount fits most VESA patterns for even more compatibility.

Whether you have a curved or flat panel TV, this option fits either way. 

Expect most of the benefits of a full-motion mount like a 45-degree swivel in each direction, a +5-degree tilt upwards, and a -10-degree tilt downwards. The dual arm can also extend 22 inches outward.

Overall, I like the stability of being able to position and corner wall mount a TV bracket to prevent glare and ensure convenient viewing as the maximum stability helps protect from sag.

Depending on the setup of your space, you can take pride in an extra-long extension for your corner TV mount.

The Mount-It! M1-372 is by far one of the longest, measuring 40 inches.

This TV mount for the corner lets you extend far out, meaning you’ll have a good view of the screen if you’re in the opposite corner of the room. 

This corner mount TV bracket is also equipped with a wide swivel of up to 180 degrees. For instance, if the sun is glaring, you can swivel it in the other direction.

I like that this has pretty solid strength holding up to 110 pounds of weight and fits screens all the way – up to 80 inches wide!

Want something stable and strong? It’s hard to argue against the Mount-It! MI-484C, especially since the price is much lower than researched competitors.

Not only does the dual-arm connect to the bracket, but the unit also has a square mounting plate connected to the arms for easier stud connection. This adds a more solid foundation to hold your TV.

Even when extending, we found this mount less likely to sag or dip with the wider support, despite having a slightly cheaper build. 

Like the other mounts, this can articulate, swivel, tilt, collapse, and extend with great ease.

We are quite impressed with the overall compatibility and stability for the price while being found to be compatible with a range of television brands and VESA patterns.

The VESA pattern compatibility ranges from 100x100mm to 800x400mm.

Single-arm TV mounts usually get a bad rap for holding up when permanently in an extended position such as being positioned into a corner at full extension.

However, the Sanus is built with a solid steel frame and has a double hinge on the arm for more stability. Furthermore, the manufacturer offers a 10-year warranty, which shows their confidence in the product. 

Also, due to the steel frame, the bracket can hold up to 125 pounds, which is more than most other single-arm counterparts.

The Sanus VLF728 is suitable for bigger screens and fits a screen size of 42 to 90 inches.

If you’re looking for an affordable corner TV mount for flat screens, consider the Fozimoa TV mount as hardware mainly designed for smaller to medium-sized screens.

This full-motion corner TV wall mount can swivel 90 degrees in each direction, +3 degrees up and -15 degrees down. For the price, practically has nearly the same functions as the more expensive options.

Overall, the bracket is lightweight, and the installation is quite easy.

A manual is provided, and all of the manual hardware is delivered in separate sealing bags.

What are the challenges when mounting in a corner?

1. The typical struggle is to locate the studs.

You won’t be able to install your TV mount onto your drywall directly. Use a stud finder to find each stud on your wall if the tapping method doesn’t work for you. 

2. Most people fail to understand VESA sizes.

VESA patterns are the distances between each mounting hole for your screen.

Make sure to understand and find the VESA pattern for your television.

Learning whether your new bracket is compatible with your mount is important from the beginning. 

3. Cables are ugly and cause clutter in your space.

We recommend finding a TV bracket with some cable management features to hide your cables. 

4. Your TV isn’t leveled correctly.

Unfortunately, this isn’t as simple as fixing a crooked painting.

Make sure to level the hardware accurately, with a spirit level so that the mount looks great even from a distance and so that you don’t have to re-mount and start from scratch because of complaints.

Cable management tips for corner TV mounting

There are a few options when trying to hide cables so that the cords are out of sight.

1. You can try running wires behind the wall.

This is probably the most difficult way because it involves cutting a wall open and feeding the cords in and out of the wall.

First, you’ll need to find two studs on different sections of your wall.

The side of the studs will be the openings to position the outlet to feed the cable into, and the other will be behind the screen.

You’ll then use two cable plates and a utility knife to get the job done. Consider having a technician help you with this. 

2. Use cord clips or zip ties to hide or bunch the wires into a single area.

Small plastic clips with adhesive backing can organize cords together without damaging the cords.

This is the simplest way to remove any wire-related clutter. But won’t fully hide the cords, this will make your entertainment system look much cleaner.

Additionally, zip ties can be used to bundle cables together.

3. Lastly, use other concealing methods like a wall cord raceway kit or cable management box.

A cable track can help completely cover up and organize any cords.

If you have a corner mount with a shelf, you can tuck the wires behind your decor as well.

Installation tips for corner mounting your LCD

Follow these do’s and don’ts so that you have a much easier time installing your LCD TV to your corner.

Corner mounting practices to do

• Research your TV’s weight, dimensions, and VESA patterns. 
• Have a stud finder ready to go before installing.

Bad corner mounting practices to avoid

• Don’t go drilling in on the drywall. 
• Don’t install your TV where there is poor ventilation or under direct sunlight to prevent overheating.

As a safety precaution, make sure that all screws, bolts, and the entire mounting bracket are securely fitted and tightly screwed into solid timber or masonry. Anything loose could fall from a knock otherwise.

Any alternative TV bracket to mount in the corner?

There are other options besides using a corner mount to install your TV into the corner of your room. In the corner – “Your journey to the dark side will be complete”. However, you can use a floor pole mount or a ceiling pole mount to get the job done.

A floor pole mount stands on the floor, while the ceiling pole mount lets you suspend the tube from the ceiling heights.

Of course, you can always use wood to build your own DIY corner TV mount but this will never be as easy, sleek, or strong as a steel bracket.
