Expert Tips: 5 Factors to Consider When Choosing DVLED Mounts

When selecting the right mount for your Direct View LED (DVLED) wall, there are several factors to consider to ensure that your installation is safe, durable, efficient, and provides top performance.

Here are 5 factors to consider in choosing a DVLED mount:

  1. Aesthetics:
    • The mount should allow minimal gaps between panels to provide a clean, seamless appearance with minimal visibility to the hardware behind it.
    • Adding trim to the mount will help enhance the aesthetics of the display, giving it a more professional look. It will conceal the mounting hardware, wires, and gaps between the modules.
  1. Support:
    • Different wall types require different mounting hardware and reinforcements. You must ensure that the mount is compatible with the type of wall structure where your DVLED display will be installed. DVLED displays can be very heavy, so you want to be sure that the mount supports the weight for the entire wall setup.
  1. Accessibility/Installation:
    • Make sure the mount offers simple installation and easy access for repairs or maintenance.
    • Choosing a mount that can slide cabinets over will make for a quick service and maintenance inspection. This will also help with cable management to avoid tangling and organized installation.
    • It is important to choose a mount that has a Z-axis, which will allow you to position the display at the correct distance from the mounting structure. It will ensure the correct depth by being able to move it backwards and forwards.
  1. Durability:
    • DVLED displays are used in many different environments, so you want to ensure that the mount can withstand the weight and pressure without breaking or sagging over time. These displays operate for long periods of time, so the mount should be made of high quality and durable materials.
  1. Warranty:
    • Be sure to choose a mount that offers a warranty. DVLED has a long life span and you want to make sure the mount supports it all the way through.

Here at Exertis Almo, we can offer the perfect solution through Peerless-AV by using their SEAMLESS Kitted Universal DVLED Mounting System that offers a slim/versatile design, 5-year warranty, and compatibility with 20 different brands.
