4.0 out of 5 stars It's a good mount, but..., August 13, 2008

This review is from: Sanus LRF118-B1 Articulating Wall Mount for 30" to 50" Displays (Black) (Electronics)

This is a good TV mount, but:

1. The box for the wall does not come with it, you have to buy it seperately.

2. The TV still stands out from the wall about 1 1/2 inches.

3. It was really difficult to attach the TV and mount to the wall box. It took 3 people.

4. It's pretty expensive, considering that you also have to buy the wall box to mount it.

5. The screws that mount the frame to the back of the TV were too short for our TV, necessitating a trip to the hardware store. It comes with several sizes of screws and washers to attach the frame to the TV, but none of them worked.

6. The frame on the back of the TV blocks access to some of the connections on the back of the TV.

The good points:

1. It is really sturdy. We don't worry that the TV will fall.

2. The swivel arm makes it unneccessary to take the TV down to access the back connections and run the wires through the wall.

3. It hides most of the mount in the wall, when viewed from the side, if the TV is pushed back as far as it will go.

We've already got it up (which was a major project, let me tell you), but if I had it to do over again, I would get the mount from the manufacturer of the TV, even though it was a tad more expensive (but it was electriccally adjustable and controlled by the TV remote). I like it that the box in the wall hides a lot of the "works", but the problem with accessing the connections is likely to be ongoing and irritating.

This review is from: Sanus LRF118-B1 Articulating Wall Mount for 30" to 50" Displays (Black) (Electronics)

I needed a mount that had full articulation (sofa and chairs are to the right of the TV, so I need it to pull out ~30-40 degrees and also wanted to be able to tilt down ~5-10 degrees). I also wanted my TV to sit as flush to the wall as possible, which lead me to this Sanus.

I mounted my 52" Sony XBR4 myself. The mount is listed as 30" to 50" displays, but as long as you are under the weight limit and within the mount width of the crossbars it'll work. Install was easy, and it holds the weight with no problem. I needed to position the TV a little left of center to make up for where the box fit in between the studs to get the TV centered exactly between my fireplace and the side wall. This is great flexibility... just be aware that you cannot shift the TV more than a few inches or it will start to rotate slightly from the off-center weight.

Anyway, mount looks great, works great, and I've gotten many compliments. I highly recommend this mount!

The product literature claims that it fits virtually all flat-panel TVs up to 50". It doesn't fit TVs with an 800mm wide bolt distance (which includes my 47" LG LCD). The horizontal rods that you see in the picture are just a couple of inches too short. It can be made to fit by getting longer 1" diameter steel tubing, if you have to.

Also, the in-wall box that is recommended (and shown in the picture but sold seperately) is actually required, unless you are willing to fabricate your own alternative.

The quality is great. The instructions are adequate, but could be better.
