TV under cabinet mounts are the best way to install a flat screen TV in your kitchen or dining room. They provide a great way to maximize space, but also by allowing the television screen to be kept out of the way, keep your television free from the food and dirt stains from being in the kitchen. They are also often used in any situation where you have a limited amount of space for your television screen.
Generally, under cabinet mounts are used for smaller screens which can be fit between the bottom of a cabinet and the top of a counter, so they should be used with LCD TV screens that are in the size range of 23 inches or smaller (as measured from one corner of the screen to the other). Not only are most Plasma screens and larger LCD screens too large to fit in the places where under cabinet mounts are used, an under cabinet mount usually has a weight restriction so the screen which is attached to it has to be comparatively light.

An undercabinet tv mount is usually designed so that the screen can be folded up against the surface of the cabinet overhead, so the screen that you hook onto it has to be light enough so that it does not pull down against the resistance of the mount. Of course, the screen also has to be light so that it will not exert too much pull on the bottom of the cabinet, which can be fairly thin (most large plasma and LCD TV screen mounts have to be connected to the studs in the wall so that they can provide enough physical support for the weight of the screen – hooking a large plasma screen or LCD screen to a mount that is only screwed into the thin board of the bottom of a cabinet makes it more likely that the screen will tear a hole out of the cabinet and fall. Therefore be aware of the weight limits and stick to the smaller screens for these mounts.
The obvious use for an under cabinet TV mount; You can watch cooking shows while you are in the kitchen or you can watch the morning show as you prepare breakfast, the news as you make dinner and so on. Some people also install under cabinet TV mounts in their offices simply so that they will have more space to work. If space is a concern, many under cabinet mounts can be purchased with some form of armature which allows for a range of articulated motion. This can also make it easier for you to see the screen from whatever part of the room that you want. If these are the kind of viewing experiences you are looking for, then considering TV under cabinet mounts for your mounting needs is a good decision.
