Mounts for 43-inch TVs

What a 43-inch TV needs

A TV this size weighs 7–12 kg, so load rating is not the limit — every mount listed here handles it easily. The real question is whether the screen has to move.

• Fixed. Thinnest (2–4 cm from the wall) and cheapest. Right when the sofa sits straight in front.
• Tilting. Gives 10–15° downwards — only needed if the TV goes above eye level.
• Full-motion. A light TV barely loads the arm, so at 43 inches an articulated mount is both practical and safe — for a corner or a kitchen it is the only sensible option.
• VESA. Check the back panel: 200 × 200 and 300 × 200 are common in this class, though Philips also uses 100 × 100.

The TV itself

While choosing a mount, look through 43-inch TVs — VESA and weight are listed on each product page. Full range: TV mounts.

Installation

In plasterboard the screws must reach the studs; in concrete four plugs are enough. Most mounts in this class fit a parcel locker, which keeps shipping cheap.
