Swivel TV Mounts - A Must Have For The TV Enthusiast

Most people, who buy a new TV, buy one of the hang-on-your-wall designs. Needless to say, having swivel TV mounts is a must. There are still many of us that still have the old standard digital TV set. The box shaped design that takes two to carry (depending on size) and a kind of bubble shaped display. These TVs still work well and although the occasion TV movie makes the characters appear short and fat (something like Snow White’s seven little buddies), we are sill able to enjoy. Swivel TV mounts for the modern flat screen, two inch wide TVs is standard, but what of the old TV set? Well the good news is, swivel TV mounts are plentiful for those old sets and readily available.

Manufacturers haven’t forgotten that not everyone is a TV wall watcher. There are still some LCD TVs that are designed to sit on some sort of table and be view from eye level on a comfortable couch with a bag of potato chips. There are many TVs which have the swivel TV mounts actually part of the TV’s frame – all that is needed is a table. Hospitals and other health centers often use the standard swivel mount with the standard TV (CRT)

The Barkan mounting system is one style of swivel TV mounting that is indeed used in a variety of different places. Airport terminals, hotel lobbies, etc are replete with this kind of swivel TV mounts. Designed to support TV sets and audio players, the Barkan mounting system offers an array of different types of swivel table or mount. For example the company’s, 123 Swivel, rotate and Tilt, model is popular and used in many hospitals and airport bars around the world. The mount has a safety harness which prevents the monitor from slipping to far forward when the remote controller’s, “tilt” button is pressed. All of Barkan system devices are easily put-together and installed. A life time warranty proves that Barkan believes its produce will never need to be repaired or replaced. Model 86 TV & Audio/Video Three Rotate and Swivel, is another mount that can securely support a small TV and an audio or video deck underneath. This particular product from the Barkan series would be ideal for truckers making their way across the USA. It would also be a handy thing to have in a bar. Patrons could watch sporting events while sipping cool beers and the bar owner could record the games on the DVD deck that fits nicely underneath.

It is clear that swivel TV mounts are not restricted to the new LCD wall TVs – the small CRT TV is still being “cared” for by a few companies around the world.
