Sanus Tilting TV Mount for 42-90″ Flat Panels VLT5B1

The mount worked great for Panasonic Viera TC-P55VT50 TV. It is solid and tilting angle is just right for where we have it mounted vs our seating positions (YMMV). It is easy to take the TV off the mount and side-to-side slide makes it easy to adjust. It has been 2 years and now I am getting a new 65-inch TV and the mount will work with the new TV. However, I am missing extra hardware and spacers which I thought I saved so it looked like I would have to buy a new mount or see if Sanus can sell the hardware kit. When I called Sanus, support agent answered the call almost right away and agreed to ship the kit out at no charge. I like the mount but want to also point out Sanus taking care of its customers, 2 years after the purchase.

This wall mount is easy to install and looks clean when up on the wall.

They give you a level and magnetic stud finder tool in the box. This did not work for me because my walls are a type of plaster that looks like it is on top of drywall but it is a nice touch.

You get hardware for mounting in most standard installations but depending on your situation you might need to run to the hardware store.

I used a self leveling laser to project where I wanted the mounting holes drilled. I just held the mount on the wall so the laser was centered through the mounting slots and marked where I wanted the holes. I wasn’t going to hit studs in the wall where I wanted the mount centered so I used Snaptoggles to anchor the mount to the wall. Once on the wall I held it as close to level as I could and tightened up the Snaptoggles. I then attached the brackets to the TV. The release pull strings did hang pretty low even after adjustment and I didn’t really want to cut them up so I attached them to the back of the TV. I used self adhesive Velcro strips cut to size being sure to leave enough play for tilting the TV but still staying hidden.

After hanging the TV I discovered that when I tightened the wall mount onto the Snaptoggles the play in the bolts through the mount slots allowed the mount to move ever so slightly off from being perfectly level. This is where the post mounting level adjustment came into play. Just a couple turns of a screwdriver and the TV was perfectly level.

Overall I found this mount to be excellent and would recommend it.

très facile d’installation et robustesse. Parfait pour ma Sony A90J 55 pcs

I selected this mount after looking at reviews for it and some less expensive alternatives. Overall, I am very pleased with the mount. The bracket is a single piece and feels very sturdy and the tilt mechanism works well.

From reading reviews, I knew that the bolts might be a problem. For me, I mounted a 60″ Vizio LED TV and its specs called for 12mm bolts. The provided M6 bolts with the extra spacers actually hit 12mm on the button when placed through the bracket. In fact, I actually mounted the TV with the provided bolts as a starting point. Ultimately, however, I decided I wanted the TV to be a little more flush to the wall, as the spacers add about an extra inch. So I purchased some 16mm M6 bolts and #10 washers and mounted the TV with my own bolts and a couple washers. The TV sits a little closer to the wall (but still far enough to comfortably plug in the power and HDMI cables).

Probably the only other suggestion for improvement is that sliding the TV left to right is not easy when the TV is latched to the bracket. It can be done, but it vibrates the bracket and hits a lot of resistance. So if possible I recommend centering the TV as much as possible before you actually latch the bottom of the brackets.

All in all, I recommend this bracket as it feels very sturdy, is very easy to install, and provides both centering and tilt options for the TV while it is on the wall. You may end up wanting to use your own bolts as I did, but this is a quick trip to your HW store. And in some cases the spacers might actually be better if you need the extra clearance or have a curved back in your TV.

J’ai reçu le support en environ 48 heures et l’installation a été très facile. J’ai pu faire quelques ajustements après l’installation et je suis entièrement satisfait.
