Do I need a full-motion mount or is a tilt mount enough?

Across the reviewers we read, a low-profile tilt mount is the better default if your TV faces the seating area straight-on, it's cheaper, sits flush, and has fewer points of failure. Full-motion mounts are worth the extra cost only if you actually need to swivel toward a kitchen, pull the TV away from a corner, or reach cables behind a wall-mounted set. r/hometheater threads repeatedly flag that buyers overestimate how often they'll use swivel.
