A low profile monitor wall mount holds a screen close to the wall, so the back of the display does not project far into the room. This guide compares the ten wall mounts shortlisted from our product scan for this search, with the distances, weight ratings and warranties each listing states.

Every figure comes from listing data checked on 2026-10-18, not from measuring the products. This guide uses the words low profile only for mounts whose listing says so, and it gives the distance each listing states. Several listings are TV mounts that also name monitors, so each entry says what the listing covers. Check the wall type and the screen’s VESA pattern before you buy.

Quick answer

Choose by the wall gap you can spare, the weight of your screen and the movement you need. These points summarize the listing data and are not an industry standard.

  • Thinnest listed gap: Nuyoah and Alrhipvm each list 0.39 inches from the wall. TETVIK lists 0.5 inches.
  • Adjustable arm with a short gap: VIVO lists 2 inches from the wall, a tilt of plus or minus 10 degrees and a rating of 17.6 pounds (8.0 kg).
  • Large screens: PUTORSEN covers 17 to 49 inches, rates flat screens at 44.4 pounds and mounts 4.3 inches from the wall.
  • Wall type first: several listings say drywall alone is not supported, so check your wall before you choose any of these.

What this list covers and what it leaves out

The ten listings below all came from the monitor wall mount scan. The scan also returned listings this guide does not compare: several fixed and tilting TV brackets, a no-stud drywall hanger for televisions, and a bracket whose listing centers on campers and boats. Those listings describe television or camper use as their main job, so they are outside this comparison.

Comparison table

The table shows what each listing states. A dash means the listing does not give that figure. Distances are in inches from the wall, as listed. For arms, the table gives the retracted distance first and the extended distance second.

The ten mounts, one by one

Each entry gives the listed numbers, a best-for line and a skip-if line. The order follows the table.

VIVO single arm, MOUNT-VW01A

Best for: a single screen from 17 to 32 inches that needs height and angle changes. The listing gives 2 inches from the wall, 6.3 inches of height travel (3.3 up and 3 down from center) and a tilt of plus or minus 10 degrees.

Skip if: your screen has curved or recessed backs. The bullets say hardware for those screens is not included. The listing also says it mounts to wood studs or drywall, while other listings in this set say drywall alone is not supported, so read the wall requirement in this listing before you buy.

The mount itself weighs 2 pounds, and the listing gives a 3-year warranty. View the Amazon listing

TETVIK fixed bracket, OTB-N2-1

Best for: a flat screen from 14 to 24 inches that stays in one position. The listing gives a fixed, ultra slim mount that sits 0.5 inches (12 mm) from the wall, with a maximum weight of 30 pounds and VESA patterns up to 100 by 100 mm.

Skip if: you want to tilt or swivel the screen, because the movement type is listed as fixed. The title and bullets also describe RV and camper use, so read the compatibility list closely before you order.

The bullets describe a slim low profile design, and the listing gives no warranty term. View the Amazon listing

Nuyoah two-piece fixed mount, NHFS6

Best for: a flat screen from 14 to 27 inches where you fix the wall plate first and slide the screen plate on afterward. The listing says the two-piece design is quick release, that the screen sits 0.39 inches from the wall, and that the rating is 33 pounds.

Skip if: you need tilt or swivel, since the movement type is listed as fixed. Much of the listing describes camper and RV use, and the warranty line says returns and exchanges are supported without giving a term.

The listing says the mount is steel and gives VESA patterns of 75 or 100 mm. View the Amazon listing

Alrhipvm fixed mount, AMVS1

Best for: a fixed screen from 14 to 27 inches where the gap matters most. The listing gives 0.39 inches from the wall, a 33-pound rating, VESA 75 or 100 mm, quick release and a 10-year warranty.

Skip if: you need any adjustment, since it is a fixed mount. The compatibility text and much of the description focus on RV, camper and camper van use.

The listing gives the material as alloy steel with a matte black finish. View the Amazon listing

monTEK spring arm, US-DS-MA1002WBK

Best for: a single monitor from 17 to 32 inches that needs a wide range of movement. The listing gives tilt of plus or minus 90 degrees, 180 degrees of swivel, 360 degrees of rotation and a 9.84-inch height adjustment. It retracts to 4 inches from the wall and extends to 21.7 inches.

Skip if: your monitor lacks compatible VESA holes, because the listing says you would need your own VESA adapter. The weight range is 4.4 to 19.8 pounds, so a heavier screen is outside the listing’s rating. The listing does not describe this mount as low profile, so the 4-inch retracted distance is the figure to compare.

The warranty is listed as one year. View the Amazon listing

PUTORSEN full motion mount for large screens

Best for: screens from 17 to 49 inches, including ultrawide displays. The listing gives 44.4 pounds for flat screens, 30.8 pounds for curved screens, swivel of plus or minus 45 degrees, tilt from -20 to +50 degrees and rotation of plus or minus 180 degrees.

Skip if: your wall is drywall with no stud, masonry or concrete behind it, because the listing says not to install it on drywall alone.

The listing describes an ultra slim profile, a quick-release VESA plate and a 3-year warranty. View the Amazon listing

WALI articulating mount, WL-1330LM

Best for: a 13 to 32 inch screen that needs reach. The listing says it extends 15 inches from the wall and retracts to 2 inches. It tilts plus or minus 15 degrees, swivels 180 degrees and rotates 360 degrees, with a rating of 33 pounds and a 10-year warranty.

Skip if: you need the smallest gap, because the listing does not call this mount low profile and gives 2 inches as its retracted distance. The bullets say drywall alone is not supported.

The title calls it a TV wall mount for 13 to 32 inch monitors. The wall plate is listed as 5.9 by 1.6 inches. View the Amazon listing

XINLEI full-motion arm, MA1330

Best for: a 13 to 32 inch screen that needs a short retracted gap. The listing says it retracts to 1.96 inches from the wall and extends to 14.25 inches. It has 15 degrees of tilt, 180 degrees of swivel, 360 degrees of rotation and a rating of 33 pounds.

Skip if: your cable routing is tight. The listing gives a 100 by 100 mm plate and asks you to check for cable blockage before you buy. It also says not to mount it on drywall, and it gives no warranty term.

The listing says the arm is made of steel and that the plate is removable, which helps with single-person installation. View the Amazon listing

Pipishell articulating arm, PISF1

Best for: a screen from 13 to 43 inches that weighs up to 44 pounds (20 kg), with VESA patterns from 75 to 200 mm. The listing gives tilt of +9 and -11 degrees, a swivel of up to 90 degrees, rotation of 360 degrees, and reach that extends 14.59 inches and retracts to 2.7 inches.

Skip if: your wall is drywall or has metal studs, because the listing says this mount is only for wood studs, brick or concrete. The spec table lists television as the compatible device, while the title also names monitors and Echo Show displays.

The warranty is listed as 5 years. View the Amazon listing

USX MOUNT swivel and tilt bracket, XMS002

Best for: a smaller screen in the 10 to 26 inch range, or a 27 or 32 inch screen, with a 22-pound limit. The listing gives tilt of plus or minus 30 degrees, swivel of plus or minus 45 degrees, and VESA patterns of 50, 75 and 100 mm.

Skip if: you need the distance from the wall, because the listing does not state one. The spec table also lists the material as wood, which the listing does not explain. Check the material and the wall type before you buy.

The listing says it needs a concrete wall or a single wood stud, and not drywall alone. It also says the seller removed the concrete anchors from the package. View the Amazon listing

How to read a low profile claim

Five listings in this set describe themselves as low profile or ultra slim: TETVIK, Nuyoah, Alrhipvm, VIVO and PUTORSEN. Their listed distances from the wall run from 0.39 inches to 4.3 inches. WALI (2 inches retracted) and Pipishell (2.7 inches retracted) also have short gaps, but their listings do not use the label, so this guide does not use it for them. The label is the seller’s word, so measure the gap you need instead of relying on it.

How to choose a low profile monitor wall mount

Measure the gap from the wall

The distance in a listing is the mount’s distance from the wall, not the screen’s back. The screen’s rear casing adds to it. For example, a 0.39-inch mount with a screen whose rear casing sits 1.5 inches off the bracket puts the back of the screen about 1.89 inches from the wall. The 1.5-inch figure is an assumption for this example, so measure your own screen.

Fixed, tilt or full motion

Fixed mounts such as TETVIK, Nuyoah and Alrhipvm do not move once installed, which keeps the gap constant. Arms and full-motion mounts such as VIVO, monTEK, WALI, XINLEI, Pipishell, PUTORSEN and USX let you change the angle or the height, and their retracted and extended distances are listed separately. Choose a fixed mount if you know where the screen will sit. Choose an arm if you change its angle or height often.

Wall type and studs

Wall requirements differ by listing. VIVO’s listing says it mounts to wood studs or drywall. PUTORSEN, WALI, XINLEI, monTEK and USX say drywall alone is not supported. Pipishell says it should not be installed on drywall or metal studs. TETVIK and Alrhipvm give no wall requirement in the listing data, and Nuyoah names a single wood stud, brick or concrete. This guide does not give installation advice beyond the listings, so follow the requirement on the listing you buy.

VESA pattern and weight rating

VESA is the mounting hole pattern on the back of a screen, given here in millimetres. Most listings here cover 75 and 100 mm. Pipishell goes up to 200 mm, and USX goes down to 50 mm. For example, a 20-pound screen on the VIVO mount is over its 17.6-pound rating, while the same screen is within the 33-pound rating of Nuyoah or WALI.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Reading low profile as a measurement. It is a listing term. Measure the gap you need.
  • Forgetting the VESA adapter. monTEK says you may need your own adapter if your monitor lacks compatible holes.
  • Ignoring curved screens. VIVO says hardware for curved or recessed backs is not included, and PUTORSEN rates curved screens at 30.8 pounds against 44.4 pounds for flat ones.
  • Choosing a TV-only bracket. Several results were TV-focused listings, and they are left out of this guide.
  • Mounting on drywall alone. Several listings say no, so check the one you are buying.

Decision aid: a wall-gap check

  1. Measure the screen’s depth at the back, from the back of the panel to the rear casing.
  2. Add the mount’s listed distance from the wall. For example, 2 inches for VIVO or 0.39 inches for Nuyoah.
  3. Compare the total with the gap you have, and leave room for cables.
  4. Compare the screen’s weight with the rating. For example, a 20-pound screen is over VIVO’s 17.6-pound rating.
  5. Check the VESA pattern in your screen’s manual or spec sheet.
  6. Check the wall type against the requirement on the listing.

Frequently asked questions

What does low profile mean for a monitor mount?

In this set it means the listing describes the mount that way. The five listings that do so give distances from 0.39 inches to 4.3 inches. Since the label is not a standard, measure the gap you need before you order.

Can I mount a monitor on drywall?

Check the listing first. Five listings (PUTORSEN, WALI, XINLEI, monTEK and USX) rule out drywall alone. Pipishell says not on drywall or metal studs. VIVO’s listing says it mounts to studs or drywall. TETVIK and Alrhipvm give no drywall statement in the data, and Nuyoah names wood studs, brick and concrete.

Which mounts tilt?

Tilt is listed for VIVO (plus or minus 10 degrees), monTEK (plus or minus 90 degrees), PUTORSEN (-20 to +50 degrees), WALI (plus or minus 15 degrees), XINLEI (plus or minus 15 degrees), Pipishell (+9 and -11 degrees) and USX (plus or minus 30 degrees). TETVIK, Nuyoah and Alrhipvm are listed as fixed.

Do these mounts include hardware?

Most listings say so. TETVIK, Nuyoah, PUTORSEN, WALI, XINLEI and Pipishell name included hardware. USX says it removed concrete anchors from its package, so check what your wall needs. The data for VIVO, monTEK and Alrhipvm does not state it.

Decision rule

Choose a fixed mount when you know the viewing position and need the smallest gap, and check the wall requirement first. Choose an arm when you need to change the angle or height, and check its retracted distance and weight rating. In either case, measure the gap, the screen weight and the VESA pattern before you order. This guide compares listing data only, and it does not name a single best mount.
