We are proud to announce that our TVW-33 and TVW-34 tv brackets, have recently been complimented by black versions of the popular product.

Our best selling wall mounts are favoured by many of our customers, as they boast robust quality, a good looking finish, and a quick release mechanism which makes mounting the television extremely easy. However, we have been told on many occasions that people would love to see a black version of the bracket. So guess what... TV Brackets has got them.

The brackets still have the same functions as their silver versions. The single-arm TVW-33BK mount allows the tilting of your TV Up, down, left and right aswell as being able to fold the TV back to the wall. The TVW-34BK bracket allows tilting and turning at extremely wide angles. Both of them include a Quick Connect mechanism and a smart cable management system to avoid dangling wires.

The charcoal/black finished products are available from TV Brackets today!

VESA stands for the Video Electronics Standards Association. This is an international non-profit corporation, which represents more than 300 corporate members worldwide. The corporation ensures a number of relevant standards when it comes to the electronics industry, and one of these standards provides specific guidelines towards the mounting hole pattern placement on the back of your Plasma or LCD TV. On all wall mount listings, TV Wall Brackets has produced a quick reference chart, enabling you to see at-a-glance, which of our products have VESA compatbility.

Already, great number of monitors, Plasmas and LCD TV's are compliant with the VESA standard. Manufacturers of monitors have agreed on a industry interface standard, which means a hole pattern on the back of the monitor, screen or display that fits any mounting device whether for VESA wall mounts, desktop or ceiling mounts.

The following summarizes VESA standard mounting hole patterns that are used today for smaller and medium flat panels:

- 50mm x 50mm
- 75mm x 75 mm
- 100mm x 100mm

For larger monitors or for smaller LCD screens, the VESA Standard hole-spacings include:

- 200mm x 100mm
- 200mm x 200mm

Finally, for Plasma and large LCD screens, the VESA hole spacings include:

- 400mm x 200mm
- 600mm x 400mm
- 800mm x 400mm

If you know that your hole-spacings are VESA standard, browse through our bracket listings and on the right hand side is a tick listr to determine whether the bracket you like the look of is appropriate for your TV.

If you've measured and your hole spacings are NOT VESA standard, you needn't worry, because we'll still have a bracket for you, as if your measurements are in between our specified minimum and maximum height/width - you'll be able to mount your LCD or Plasma no problem at all!

Over the last 20,000 the tools we have used have changed beyond recognition: spears to missiles, wall paintings to Adobe Photoshop, theatre to film.

One century, the 20th century, emerges as the rapid accelerator of change and progress, and nothing in that century illustrates the progress man has made more than a simple box: the television. A medium that reaches out to the masses, that can make us laugh and cry; a medium that has created fortunes, fostered ideologies and shaped the world.

That is why we’d like to provide you with just a sample of some of the coolest looking television sets from the ages and offer a picture for the future: from the 1920’s to tv sets, which haven’t even been released, this is our vision of progress.
