Choosing the Right Projector Mount for Your Video Projector

Ok, so you've bought your new projector and you're excited to start watching movies, but did you remember to also buy some sort of projector mount? Projector mounts are one of the most overlooked accessories needed to use your projector effectively. Sure propping it up on the table with some books works for now, but a more permanent mounting system needs to be considered for the long term.

When considering projector mounts you have 3 main options available to you. In order of preference they are; ceiling mount, table top mount and wall mount. This article will talk about these different mounting options and the specifics of each. Also if you plan on using a one of the various ceiling projector mounts then make sure first that your projector has a ceiling mode on it that will flip the picture around and display it correctly.

There are also high tech projector mounts that will mount your projector flush and hidden in your ceiling or wall and then will extend itself on a motorized track when you want to watch a movie or use the projector. And then when you are finished the projector will retract back in the ceiling or wall. This is not a cheap option, but it is very cool and if your budget can afford it, then why not go for it.

Available Projector Mounts:

Ceiling Mounted Projector

A ceiling mount is by far the most popular of the available projector mounts. A few of the things you need to take into consideration when looking at ceiling installation are; the weight of the projector, projector size, will ceiling fans or hanging light fixtures be in the way, will it take away from your homes décor?

Tabletop Mounted Projector

As far as projector mounts go a table top mount is certainly the easiest to install, however there are a number of things to consider. Is the projector in a high traffic area where it can easily become damaged? Can the projector adjust to allow the picture to display properly on the screen? Will the noise from the projector running interfere with your movie? Do you have kids who could burn themselves on a hot projector?

Wall Mounted Projector

Projector mounts in a wall setting are typically mounted in a corner of the room up near the ceiling and above average head height. Some things to consider about wall mounts are: Does the projector have an unobstructed view of the screen? Is the projector mounted high enough so as not to be a hazard for people's heads? Can your wall mount handle the weight of your chosen projector?

Use the above information to help you decide which of the available projector mounts is right for your home or office.
