Once you have your plasma, LED or LCD TV mounted on the wall, it often doesn't need to be moved or adjusted. There are other times, however, whether the light shining on the TV is causing a glare or you're sitting at a different angle than normal, where you will want or need to change your viewing angle. Fortunately, tilting TV mounts are designed to allow you to adjust the viewing angle easily. And while the method might vary from brand to brand, the process is fairly similar.
