Universal or dedicated mounts? Many mounts these days are called Universal, meaning they fit a wide variety of different displays.

Dedicated mounts, on the other hand, are configured and rated to hold specific sizes, weights and mounting configurations of individual LCD and Plasma TVs and projectors.

Make sure you know where you want your display to go. This may seem like a silly question, but are you sure you know where you want your LCD or Plasma TV to go? If space is at a premium, a wall or ceiling mount might be best. If you need mobility or have or will have a number of accessories like DVDs or cable boxes, a floor stand might be better. The point is, before you choose the right mount, you have to know where you want it to go.

Play it safe. Mounts are rated for safety by organizations like the Underwriter's Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), and the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development of California (OSHPD). These organizations offer certification of a mount's safety based on the limits of its weight capacity, electrical safety and seismic integrity. Look for symbols like 'UL listed', 'CSA Certified' and 'OSHPD Approved' to be 100% confident in the safety of your mount.

Plan ahead. Chances are, if you don’t own them now, sometime in the future you’ll have a DVD player/recorder, cable box or other accessories to go along with your LCD or Plasma TV. And you’ll need a place for them. Make sure the mounting stand that you have gives you all the space you need to house the accessories you want and need for your viewing pleasure.
