Apologies for such simple question but betting you guys are more experienced.

Thinking of hanging a 49’ TV set. Wondering if the ability to change the angle of the TV facing the viewer is important or can be disregarded.

Reminder: I live way south in Argentina where the economy is all fucked up and SOL is the flavor of the day, any day.
When you can find the item you want you better go for it because it might run of stock or double the price overnight.
Flat mounts are common, angled ones are rare and cost double the price. Walls are made of bricks.

Thank you.

I like a slight downward angle on it if the tv is mounted at a higher level. Our living room TV is about shoulder height at the bottom, so it's got a good angle on it.

You're going to need several mounts for a 49 foot TV.

Ymmv. I would opt for angle flexibility. Both vertically and laterally. Helps with relative position vs viewing position. And minor angle tweaks can help with issues with reflections.

Definitely one that you can adjust.

It really depends on where the tv will be mounted and your viewing angle. I have one in my living room that is 90 degrees from the couches so I need it to be angled. It is also above the fireplace so I have full motion. I can angle it out and down.

In my living room in Florida the 75" tv is on a tv stand. If I were mounting it, I would mount it in the same place. It is the correct height and angle from the couch such that I can't see needing anything more than a flat mount.

Angling horizontally is very helpful to me when attaching cables. Makes it much easier to see all the input plugs on the back. My head is too big to fit behind a straight mount, and focusing up close can be problematic also.

The further out you can get the TV, the easier to insert remove cables w/o removing the TV from the wall.

I have mine tilted downward at a very slight angle to reduce reflections

Angled and dangled.

There are mounts that offer left - right swing and tilt, without being a full motion with a huge articulating arm. Buy this simple adjustable mount and you will be OK.

I mounted my 48" using a fully articulated mount. It makes changing view angle, extension for cable maintenence, cleaning, etc easy.

I'll be the outlier here. Flat slim mounts. My goal is aesthetics, I mounted TV at optimum height and I want the TV to look like a picture hanging on my wall. Adding depth to the installation just makes it look ugly.

The downside to low profile mounts are the HDMI and Cat 5 cables must be installed in certain locations and consideration needs to be made for directionality of the plugs. I had to use a 90° adapter on my last TV to maintain the low profile look.

Also depending on the quality of the TV, newer flat screens have excellent viewing angles and you have more latitude these days.

I like full articulated.

My firestick, network wires and plug for my mesh router are behind the TV.

I also have it angled down slightly.

I like to be able to swing it out from the wall to work behind it.

Anytime something needs to be worked on or upgraded the TV just swings out of the way.

It sits as flat against the wall as any fixed mount.

One you can adjust. You won’t know until you hang the Tv if lights from the other room will show up on the screen, being able to tilt the screen down will eliminate that.

I doubt that. This mount is under 1" from wall and the front of the screen is under 1.75" from the wall. I actually also have about another.5" at the top resulting in a slight downward lean.

It makes for an extremely clean look having the TV super tight to the wall and a TV with ultra thin bezel.
