Sanus Systems Vmpl50A-B1 32-Inch to 85-Inch Visionmount Tilt Mount

Bottom line, this is an EXCELLENT, adjustable TV mount product with high quality manufacturing. I was impressed by its capability, workmanship and it earned a solid five stars. TV Buyers Beware!!! If you're in the market for a giant TV beware of this problem: Regardless of manufacturer, the mount adjustment wrench length has not kept up with the width of giant TVs! This bummer factor means you can't make adjustments once the TV is mounted on the wall because the wrench doesn't have the required length to reach the adjustment screws deep behind the TV! Here's my review based on my installation: For wall mounted TVs, you got to have the right mount and this is one of the best. I used this mount for a SHARP 70-inch Aquos TV which weights in at 100 lbs. The reason for the gigantic TV size was to cover the old CRT TV hole above the fireplace. Actually, the old TV cavity above the fireplace was a godsend for two reasons. One, I was able to create my own 2x4 frame to the house structure inside the cavity then bolt the base of the TV mount to the 2x4s. No question about holding power of the mount. Second, since the TV cavity had a rear access panel, I was able to reach behind the TV once mounted and secure the mount tilt adjustment which would not have been possible otherwise. The adjustment wrench supplied was too short to reach the adjustment screws! This would be a serious bummer for a mount on a solid wall. Back to the installation, with the help of another person, we picked the TV up and placed it on wall mount and heard/felt the solid click of the TV mount bracket locking with the wall mount. No question the mount had the TV. The adjustment of the mount was fantastic. Under direction of wife, I was able to slide the TV left or right until it was exactly centered horizontally in her mind. Then I was able to give it a slight tilt downward. This would have been an easy step if the wrench had enough length. Like it was, I had to use my helper to hold the TV tilt in place while I went around to the back and tighten the tilt adjustment by reaching through the old TV cavity. We are very happy with our mount choice and installation experience.

Installing this on the wall was pretty easy. The last TV mount I installed, several years ago, was the same brand but definitely more complicated. I’m glad the technology has apparently improved. I have a 55” Roku brand TV attached to it, and it hasn’t so much as budged in the months since I put it up. It is rock solid.

This is an update to my original review. Yesterday I noticed my TV was leaning a little to one side, but I couldn't find the adjustment wrench. I emailed Sanus through their website, gave my address, and in the morning I had an email saying a new wrench was on its way. Great service on top of an already excellent product. First, I'm completely satisfied with the quality, the sturdiness of the brackets, and the mounting plate. The only advice I can give is to really think about where this is going to end up on your wall. In our case, there is an electrical box with outlet and HDMI cable mounted high on the wall. This particular mounting plate has a strip of metal in the middle, so I was left with the dilemma of either mounting the TV off center or modifying the bracket, and I ended up cutting the middle section out. In hindsight, I should have measured where this was going before I bought it and traced out where it would mount. Had I done that, I may have gotten a different model without that middle section. Even with that middle piece gone, I have no concerns about the strength or ability to keep the TV safely mounted. I can't say enough good things about the adjustments possible with this mount. With our mounting job complete, we sat back to enjoy our work, and noticed we were about 2 tenths of an inch low on one end. Being off level was really noticeable. No problem. With this mount, you can make minor adjustments for level after installation without having to remove the TV. Just use the included allen wrench to make the final adjustments. The ability to tilt the TV forward was also key for us. Our TV is mounted fairly high because our fireplace mantel is pretty thick, so being able to tilt forward was a must. If you don't care about having your TV on an arm that you can pull away from the wall, I highly recommend this Sanus mount.

Lo usamos para una tele de 65 pulgadas. Contratamos a expertos en instalación porque somos idiotas para esas cosas y no queríamos arruinar la pared. Ellos pudieron montar la tele en menos de 15 minutos.

There is no noticeable sagging or shifting over time, even with frequent adjustments to the tilt angle. **Cons:** - **Range of Motion:** While the tilting feature is useful, the mount does not offer full motion capabilities (such as swiveling or extending).

Over the long term, the Sanus VMPL50 proves to be a valuable investment, offering durability and performance that justifies its price.

Support parfait pour mon téléviseur un sony 40". Le support est plutôt solide. On regrettera l'installation des câbles qui n'est pas forcement aisée (mais c'est peut être le lot de toute installation murale), par contre le support est très bien fait tant pour la mise au mur, la fixation de l’écran, son retrait du mur, ou les réglages fins en final pour ajuster l'horizontalité de l'écran. Toute la visserie est fournie, pour tous type d'écran. J'ai fixé le support sur du placo, et le support permet de mettre un nombre important de vis (j'en ai mis 4 en haut et 4 en bas). Très bon choix

It came in very little packaging which was awesome. Easy to install and TV is secure on the wall.
