Swing-Arm / Fold-Away Mount

Advantages
- View from sofa and bed
- Folds flat when off
- Great for loft + lounge
- Frees the screen from one fixed angle
Trade-offs
- Dearer than a fixed bracket
- Needs very solid fixing
- Arm sticks out in use

- Project onto a plain wall
- Great cinema feel
Trade-offs
- Best in the dark
- Needs throw distance
- Sound usually separate

Tablet / Laptop + Soundbar

Advantages
- No TV to mount or power
- Lowest power draw (off-grid friendly)
- Watch anywhere
- Cheapest if you already own the device
Trade-offs
- Small screen
- Not a shared big-screen experience
- Relies on internet/data

Off-grid bonus. A tablet or laptop with a small speaker sips power compared with a big TV — handy if you're running on solar and batteries. Whatever you choose, plan a power point (and ideally a USB point) where the screen will live.
Pricing note: figures are indicative 2026 estimates in Australian dollars and exclude the TV itself. Wall mounts must be fixed to solid structure. Regions marked "being researched" will be added soon. Last updated: June 2026.
