Tilt Swivel Mount

Tilt Swivel Mount
Tilt Swivel Mount

what do these terms mean when shopping for a tv mount?

im pretty sure i kno but i just want to double check before i spend 200$ on a tv mount..
tilt range-
swivel range-
pan range- *** this is the one im def not positive on.. is it how far down you can pull a tv? ect : have it mounted at 5 ft high and pull it down x amount of inches?

Tilt is up and down movement (facing the TV screen more towards the floor or more towards the ceiling).

Pan is left and right movement (facing the TV screen more towards the left or more towards the right).

Swivel is kind of the same thing as pan, but is usually used to describe mounts that extend the TV farther away from the wall on an extended arm that allows an even greater range of left/right pan or "swivel", although you could swivel the arm to the left and at the same time pan the TV to the right and it would still be facing straight out from the wall, but it would be farther over to the left.

If you could find a TV mount that would do a similar movement to "swivel", but in the up & down direction, that would let you move the TV higher or lower, but most TV mounts do not move in such an up and down direction.

Additional info: TV Guy cannot possibly be right because he said that pan was "most likely front to back", but pan is always given in degrees, and degrees is a turning movement, not a directional movement like "front to back".

"Pan" is a very common term used mostly in motion picture photography that is described and illustrated in the link below, (and matches what I correctly said it is).
