4 Reasons You Need a Mounted TV for March Madness Season

The time is near for collegiate basketball fans around the nation to turn their hearts and souls to the nearest television for three weeks of NCAA frenzy. Popularly dubbed March Madness, this event steals the screens of homes, bars, and restaurants around the country and exists as the center of many parties and get-togethers.

If you’re planning to enjoy some March Madness excitement at your St. Augustine, FL home, we recommend you prepare beforehand to create the best viewing experience for you and your guests. First suggestion? Mount your TV. Though it may seem trivial, here are four reasons why a mounted TV will significantly improve the game-time fun.

1. Reduced Glare

Few things are more frustrating than a giant glare on your TV display when trying to watch the game. Sure, you can close the blinds or turn off your overhead lights, but that’s not always the best option—especially when light is needed to accommodate other activities going on in your home.

A pivoting wall mount is a great solution to reducing unwanted glare without having to dramatically change the light sources in the room. Move your TV from side-to-side or tilt the TV away from the light exposure to ensure the reflection goes elsewhere. As light changes throughout the day, simply adjust the angle of your TV display from its mount and carry on with watching the game.

2. Flexible Viewing

When considering where to mount your TV, sometimes the only available space is high above fireplaces or mantles, which can create an uncomfortable viewing angle. Fortunately, certain TV mounts allow you to amply move your TV in a vertical direction so you can avoid awkward eye and neck strains. You’ll still enjoy the conveniences of a mounted TV, no matter its location on your wall.

Get the perfect eye-to-screen angle by pulling your mount down, tilting your TV, and even swiveling it into place. When you’re done watching the game, easily return your TV flush against the wall.

3. Increased Safety

Some may believe placing a TV display on an entertainment center is safer than bolting it to the wall, but quite the opposite is true. Setting your flat screen on a surface increases the chances of tip-overs, which poses an incredible danger for small children and pets. If you’re preparing for large gatherings during March Madness, eliminate worry by mounting your TV instead of constantly monitoring all of the hustle and bustle around your entertainment center.

4. More Space

A mounted TV gives you the freedom to adjust the space in your viewing room without having to worry about a large piece of furniture holding up your display. Make room for more chairs, a table for food and drinks, bean bags—whatever is needed to accommodate your friends and family during the game. Your TV will stay out of the way while your guests have plenty of room to move around, socialize, and enjoy the viewing experience.
