Sanus System VM1B VisionMount LCD Wall Mount

A 75mm or 100mm VESA standard wall mount for LCD displays / Features tilt and swivel / For 13" - 30" displays / BLACK

This is the second Sanus mount I've purchased. They are very durable and easy to install. most important is to select the correct size item for your television. Get more than you need rather than close or less! Tilt is an important feature and this one is easy to adjust.

Works very well for a smaller almost-flush mount. Some reviewers complained that it did not hold tight for larger TVs, even when the TV met max wt specs. Mine is a sub-10 lb LCD TV so it works just fine.

I bought this mount because I wanted to be able to adjust both the vertical and horizontal alignment of my new HDTV panel. The product description says this item can handle up to 50 pounds. My panel is about 44 pounds and the vertical adjustment simply cannot handle the weight of the panel. I used the "heavy load" bolt that's supposed to take care of this but it doesn't even come close. The TV doesn't just slip down a bit. It just sags against the wall. I can't imagine this mount could hold up a panel over 20 pounds without assistance. FWIW, the mount does feel sturdy and it can hold the panel securely. I'm using a block of wood to offset the bottom of the panel from the wall. I'll replace that with a V-shaped brace that acts as a cable guide and will let the horizontal swivel function of the wall mount to work properly. Also, the screws included with the mount were too small. They didn't fit my TV and the screw heads were so small, they slipped through the larger 100mm mounting holes. The lag bolts provided had little hex heads meant to be tightened with the included allen wrench. Terrible. Who wants to screw nearly 3 inches of bolt into a stud with an allen wrench?!? I replaced them with 5/16x3" lag bolts and used a socket wrench. I understand they're trying to make a simple installation but there's no way to get around the fact that the holes for the mount need to be drilled into the stud. Anyone who has a drill will have a proper set of wrenches for driving proper bolts. I only gave this two stars because, after a trip to the store for proper screws, and with the addition of a bracket to provide the proper offset, this mount seems like it will hold my TV off the floor and allow me to swivel it from side to side. However, I wouldn't recomment this product for any panel over 15 pounds. 20 tops.
