When it comes to selecting the best television for your home, size is everything, and if you want to go big, you'll need a 70-inch screen. Cinematic awe, spectacle, the boom and rumble of a pulsing bass to stir your soul - a great TV is the only way to truly experience the thrill of the cinema in your home. First, consider your TV's size, keeping in mind that TV's are classified by diagonal screen length. inch televisions have the added benefit of plenty of room for speakers, giving them a built-in surround-sound quality, so you're spending less cash on Bluetooth soundbars to create the perfect cinematic atmosphere. The best 70-inch TVs at a glance:

A TV mount for smaller screen models. It can support up to a 42-inch TV with either a flat or curved screen. Design:Despite the fact that this TV wall mount has an extendable arm, it doesn't sit too far away from the wall and has a large plate that attaches to the TV to make it feel secure. The PSSFK1 also doesn't come with any cable management, which means you'll have to organize some ties yourself to tidy away any dangling wires. We tested these using typical TVs, including both small-sized and big-sized TVs (between 32- and 65-inches), and nailed it down to a final list that we're willing to stand by. Rest assured we've mounted each one of these ourselves and have a wall full of holes to prove it. Each TV wall mount has been measured against its ease of installation, build quality, design and value, and given a score based on its performance. Eliminate glare: If your living room lights frequently reflect off of your TV screen, then you could definitely see some improvement from an adjustable mount. Whether it's overhead lights or sunshine from a window, the glass surface of most displays can catch all those rays, obscuring the screen and reducing the visibility of your TV. Dimming the lights for a movie is great, but if you have to do it just to watch the weather, you should probably get a mount with adjustable tilt.Build quality: With a premium price, you'd expect premium build quality and thankfully with the VMF720 you get it. It feels tough and well-supported, even when the arm is fully extended, meaning you won't have to worry when the TV is corner mounted. Build quality:The EGLF3 uses an scissor mechanism, which is a mechanical linkage system in a criss-cross x-type pattern, with two enforced counterweights on either side to reinforce it when it's extended out. It’s made out of heavy-duty steel and feels weighty as a result, which gives it a very secure fit. Overall, this is a sturdy and safe-feeling despite its range of extension.

It should be attached to the studs in the wall (or concrete) to make sure it is secure. Find out how far apart your studs are and get a TV mount that can accommodate that distance. When installing you want the mount to be level; some mounts come with a level, though one you get at a hardware store may be more accurate. The best TV mounts allow you to adjust the level further after installation, to correct for any slight variations.

What you need to know: TV wall mounts don't have to have a lot of bells and whistles, and Perlesmith proves this with the PSSFK1.

Design:Straight from the illustrated box, you can tell Echogear is a brand that has flair. The mount is light gray apart from some orange-colored latches and a logo on it. Even thought the mechanism is quite bulky, it still folds away to sit close to the wall and doesn't obstruct too much.

There are four main types of TV wall mounts: fixed, tilting, full-motion and corner. Choosing one comes down to where you're planning to mount your TV, as that will decide whether you need it to simply be hung on the wall or if you require it to be adaptable to a changing space.

Feeling absolutely sturdy, the VLL5 is durable and reassuringly heavy. To test TV wall mounts, we had to mount some actual TVs. It seems obvious, but not all guides you read online will have done it. Some of the wall mounts here were tested in the TechRadar offices, drilling into a wall and then simply going through the process of the instructions. Most were handled by two people, but occasionally a third person was needed. But affordability isn't the only benefit to mounting your TV. You can also get improvements in ergonomics, overall picture quality and even safety, all with relatively easy installation that you can do in an afternoon.A TV mount built to withstand heavy loads and support large screens. It can handle up to a 90-inch TV, and provides a nearly-flush, 2.15-inch wall mount. A TV mount that is budget-friendly. The single-stud wall plate gives you plenty of placement options for your TV or computer monitor. Design: A TV wall mount needs to be inconspicuous to get the right effect and Mounting Dream has done well to make sure this keeps a low profile. It's only 60cm long and 40cm tall so doesn't take up too much wall space to secure it either. It can tilt but with a radius of just eight degrees, it's more suited for a fixed wall position. Some of the wall mounts here were used by one of our writers during their time working for a major AV retailer, where these mounts were used with a range of TVs over a long period, and our writer helped install them and replace which TVs were on them several times. Better aesthetics: A wall-mounted TV just looks nice, and can help make your home theater setup look more professional, more put together. And if you do a full installation, with cables run behind drywall, it looks a lot cleaner, too. (Don't worry, you can get a similar effect by hiding the cables behind a neutral colored cable run.)
