The Best TVs to Mount in 2024: A Guide from a TV Mounter with Over 4,000 Installs (and Why Sony Isn’t One of Them)

When choosing a TV to mount, there are a few important factors to consider. While most people focus on picture quality, I believe there’s more to it. When mounting your TV on the wall, the goal should be to achieve the sleekest look possible. That’s why I created this guide. Many of my customers often ask for recommendations on which TV to buy, and my opinion differs from the standard. We’ve mounted just about every TV model you can think of, so I’ve compiled a list of the best-looking TVs for wall mounting.


1. Samsung Frame TV


Top Pick: The Cleanest TV to Mount

The Samsung Frame TV is the cleanest option when it comes to mounting. It’s one of the only TVs that sits completely flush against the wall, with no space behind it when mounted. The TV features a matte finish, which enhances its appearance when in Art Mode, and it comes with an anti-glare feature. Additionally, it includes a flush mount for that perfect, clean look.

Pros:

  • Customizable frames with various colors and thickness options.

  • Matte finish and anti-glare for an art-like appearance.

  • Sits completely flush against the wall.

Cons:

  • Comes with a One Connect Box, which requires a recessed installation.

  • Installation can be more complex due to the One Connect Box.


2. LG G4 Gallery Series


Runner-Up: Another TV with No Space Behind It

The LG G4 is another excellent option, known for its sleek design and flush mounting capabilities. As part of LG’s Gallery Series, this TV is similar to the Samsung Frame, though it doesn’t offer customizable frames.

Don’t let that deter you, though—this TV looks absolutely beautiful! In terms of aesthetics, it’s almost perfect.

Pros:

  • Ultra-thin design with flush wall mounting.

  • Excellent picture quality with OLED technology.

  • Sleek, minimalist look that enhances any room.

Cons:

  • No customizable frame options.

  • Occasional connectivity issues with Wi-Fi, requiring resets.


3. Samsung QLED 4K Class Q70D


Budget-Friendly Option: Sleek and Affordable

Yes, another Samsung, but hear me out. The Samsung Q70D is more affordable than the other models I’ve listed. This TV is very thin and offers quick response times with its software. Like the other TVs mentioned, the picture quality is superb, but this blog focuses on the best-looking TVs for wall mounting.

Pros:

  • Thin design for a sleek wall-mounted appearance.

  • Fast software response time.

  • Affordable price point for a QLED TV.

Cons:

  • Requires a separate slim bracket for close-to-wall mounting.

  • Picture quality is great, but not as premium as higher-end models.


4. TCL Class NXTFRAME TV 4K QLED Smart Frame TV with Google TV and Flush Wall Mount (2024)


Newcomer: A Competitive Option for a Sleek Look

TCL is a newer brand, but it’s quickly becoming a strong competitor to the other gallery/frame TVs listed here. This TV is ultra-slim with an anti-glare screen, making it another excellent option if you want a sleek-looking TV that gives you that picture frame effect.

Pros:

  • Ultra-slim design for a near-flush wall mount.

  • Anti-glare screen for better viewing in bright rooms.

  • Competitive pricing compared to other frame TVs.

Cons:

  • Google TV software can be less user-friendly.

  • Brand is newer, so long-term reliability is still being proven.


5. Roku Smart TV – Pro Series 4K QLED


Newest Addition: Slim Design and Great Usability

Roku has just launched its own line of TVs, and they look fantastic on the wall. I’ve always been a fan of Roku’s operating system, as it offers the easiest user experience, in my opinion. This TV is one of the newest on the market and is the most affordable of all the frame and gallery models listed here.

Pros:

  • Slim design looks great on the wall.

  • Excellent, user-friendly Roku interface.

  • Most affordable option among frame and gallery models.

Cons:

  • As a new model, it may lack the premium feel of more established brands.

  • Limited options for customization compared to other models.


Conclusion - Best Tvs to Mount 2024

Choosing the right TV to mount is about more than just picture quality—it's about finding a sleek and elegant TV on your wall. After mounting over 4,000 TVs, I’ve seen firsthand which models truly stand out in terms-of design, ease of installation, and long-term reliability.


The Samsung Frame TV and LG G4 Gallery Series lead the pack with their flush-mount capabilities and stunning aesthetics. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Samsung Q70D offers great value without compromising too much on style. Meanwhile, the TCL NXTFRAME and Roku Pro Series offer newer, innovative options for those looking to try something different.


One thing you may notice is Sony's absence from this list. That’s not by accident. Over the years, I’ve had five customers whose brand-new Sony TVs died straight out of the box. It’s a risk that I can’t recommend, especially when there are so many other reliable and stylish options available.


When it comes to mounting a TV, make sure you choose one that not only meets your viewing needs but also enhances the look of your space. The models listed in this guide are top picks for achieving that perfect wall-mounted look.
