> 3 dayThis is one of the best wall mounts I have installed. It’s extremely sturdy & easy installation with detailed instructions for any novice. I have already purchased three & used for 65 and 75 inch TVs weighting 85 pounds. Maximum weight capacity is 150 pounds.

> 3 dayTL;DR: works as a wall mount, but you need to buy your own M8-1.25x10mm screw from Amazon (or Home Depot) to be able to mount the Neo QLED TV from Samsung. I bought the SANUS VTL6-B1. The biggest issue I had with it was that it did not have screws that would fit my thin 85 Samsung QN95B. Because its thin, it needs small screws, which it does not provide. Sanus comes with a whole lot of screws, but the smallest ones are M8-1.25x16mm and M6-1.25x12mm.The TV manual (which is not available online - thanks Samsung!) says you need an M8-1.25 screw and that it goes into the TV at a depth of 5-6mm, and then Samsung lets yo compute the final length of the screw because they dont know how thick the mounting hardware is. Well, for this Sanus, it turns out that the 6mm TV depth + 2mm mounting hardware thickness + 1mm washer thickness sort of gets you to a 9-10mm long screw. Great, but good luck finding an M8-1.25x9mm screw! I called Sanus about this and the lady, after a long time on the phone and lots of back-and-forths, basically told me your options are to wait for 5 business days for the screws or go to the local hardware store. I ordered M8-1.25x10mm from Amazon and waited for a day for the screws to arrive. They fit the TV, so this story has a happy ending, but it didnt have to be this way. The Sanus website said the mount is compatible with my model. Technically thats true, but not in a way that a reasonable person would expect - its implied that there would be screws to attach to the TV. Once I attached it to the TV, and installed the wall plate, everything clicked into place. Im giving 3 stars because: 1. TVs are thin these days and it is expected that appropriate screws will be included, especially since the Sanus website says the TV is compatible with this wall mount 2. Sanuss customer support solution to mounting my flat TV was to insert a gigantic spacer that would cause the TV to rest on the edge of a long screw, not to mention that it pushes it farther away from the wall 3. its not as close to the wall as I would have liked. Theres a good 10cm or so gap between the wall and the TV. 4. The wall plate could have been a bit wider. My studs are at 16 distance from each other and that restricted my options for installing the wall plate in the center of the wall, as well as how far I could move the TV horizontally. Pros: * Sturdy * Once mounted its good * Online site to compute measurements based on your TV * Human available on the phone to answer questions * Easy to install (all things considered) Cons: * Does not come with screws that fit thin TVs, particularly the Samsung QN95B. * Customer service suggested hacks instead of a real solution, did not offer to cover any costs associated with acquiring missing screws * It just seems like a wall mount for older TVs, based on the gigantic screws that are provided

Greater than one weekFairly easy to install, very sturdy, and allows leveling and minor height adjustments without taking it down. My least favorite part of this stand is the extendors - they are a bit wobbly so the TV is easily nudged off kilter, but since Im not usually touching the TV this isnt a big deal. My favorite part is the TV can be slid horizontally on the stand quite some distance - mine can travel nearly 12 to either side, though Im sure this will vary by TV model and mounting pattern. The TV height can also be adjusted significantly by changing the mounting bracket positions. This will be most useful if/when you buy a new TV as you probably wont need to move the wall mount even with a taller or shorter TV model.

> 3 dayIt’s very easy to install and multiple sections for the bolts to be added with ample distance between each. Easy to remove television with pull down tabs that stay hidden when installed.

> 3 dayI used this mount for an 85” Sony TV weighing 110 pounds. Mounting the wall bracket was the hardest part and it was fairly easy using a stud finder to make sure it was secure. I really like the spring loaded clips on the bottom of the tv brackets. The top part of the tv brackets are hung on the top of the wall mount. The bottom of the tv brackets clip onto the bottom of the wall mount. One issue was that even though a variety of bolts were provided to mount the brackets to the TV, I still had to go to the hardware store for longer bolts. Still the best mount I’ve used for my last three TV’s.

> 3 dayThe most difficult part of installing the tv mount was finding the stud to anchor it. The features of leveling it after the tv was mounted worked great.

> 3 dayThis was easy to install and is sturdy and allows for some adjustments after mounting. It can be extended a few inches to make easier to connect cables then push back to wall. The only issue, there was not the correct spaces for the Hisense 65” since the mounting holes are recessed and the bottom of TV back is raised.

Greater than one weekI was hesitant on spending a good chunk of money on a TV mount. Especially when there are so many that are relatively inexpensive. Fortunately, after doing some research Im very, very happy with this purchase. The mount is packaged well and had all the necessary parts to work on just about any TV. Mine was a 10 year old 46 Samsung with a 400x400 VGA. I used Sanus website to get the exact spot I should mount my TV. Its located above my fireplace so it was a bit tricky. However, their guide worked out real well! With the right tools, drill and ratchet, the hardware went into the studs real easy. Once the mount was sitting on the wall, I was able to life the TV and, essential, drop it into place. It snaps into place and is able to be done with one person... although HIGHLY recommended for two. A nice feature on this mount is the versatility. I can pull it forward several inches, to install wires, and also slide it back and forth to get it exactly in the center of my fireplace. The horizontal sliding was definitely needed as the studs above my fireplace were not centered. Lucky for me, they were still 16 apart. To release the TV, you pull down on two tabs. This feature is nice because its simple and quick. It locks and unlocks without much force. All in all, spend some extra money and get this mount. If you need horizontal movement because of needing to be centered in a room, but no use for side to side action, then this unit is a must. Enjoy!

> 3 dayDont waste your money on more expensive or fancy mounts that cost a ridiculous $200-$300. This does all you need it to do. It is solid and well-built. The large opening in the middle fits over power outlets. You can slide your TV left or right on the rails, which accounts for studs that may not be perfectly centered behind your TV. It extends enough to let you hook up everything. Not a ton, but enough. It slightly swivels, which you probably dont need 99% of the time. It tilts. You dont have to get it perfectly level because you can tweak the leveling afterward. Its easy to release your TV and remove it from the wall. The installation guide and video are top notch.
