Learn the key differences between mounts and brackets for mounting devices like TVs and shelves.

60 views

Mounts and brackets differ mainly in their function and form. A mount typically attaches devices like TVs or projectors to walls or ceilings, providing support and flexibility in positioning. In contrast, a bracket is often a smaller component used to fasten or support items like shelves or external components. While mounts allow for movement and adjustments, brackets are generally fixed and provide stability for attached objects.
