Mounting a TV safely
Full-motion mounts put a lot of leverage on the wall, so always anchor into wood studs (or concrete, with the right anchors), never drywall alone. Check that your TV’s VESA pattern and weight are within the mount’s limits before you drill.
Do you need an HDMI 2.1 cable?
For streaming sticks, cable boxes, and 4K@60 Hz, any certified Premium High Speed (HDMI 2.0) cable is all you need. For 4K@120 Hz on a PS5, Xbox Series X, or gaming PC, get a certified Ultra High Speed (HDMI 2.1) cable instead.
Why right-angle charging cables?
A 90° plug points the cable along the side of your phone instead of straight out, so it doesn’t dig into your hand when you play or watch in landscape, and it bends less at the joint, which is where most cables fail.
