Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Versatile Mounting Dream MD5420 Universal Detachable: Secure and Easy TV Installation by Brian Kingsford

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not quite stable

I read many reviews before purchasing this mount. Of course, an extensive set of installation hardware was included, but I still had to make a trip to the hardware store to complete the installation. My problem was primarily due to the fact that my Samsung soundbar has special mounting brackets on the back wall and spacers to which the brackets are attached when installed. While Samsung supplies the necessary proprietary seals, but not the required screws. As for this mount, I was able to attach it to my existing TV mount without removing the TV. This method was very labor intensive but did not require an extra pair of hands. I had to trim the top/vertical brackets to get the soundbar as close to the bottom of the TV as possible. Samsung mounting brackets make it difficult to mount the soundbar outside of a wall. I actually found a video on YT of someone installing this mount and using a Samsung soundbar. Due to the design of Samsung's mounting system, I couldn't position the soundbar any closer than just over an inch below the TV. Looks ok but could look better if it was flush. I could hide the cables that lead from the soundbar to the television and to the socket. but tie them to the soundbar's angled mounting brackets. When I did everything I found that the soundbar is not fixed as it hangs under the TV and I'm not sure if this is actually the case or if there is any way I can make it more stable. I have a full motion TV wall mount with a long extension that allows for a lot of movement, but I rarely move the TV from flat to the wall. I'm sure if I were to move it, the lack of rigidity of the soundbar mount would bother me. However, this mount has many options and should suit almost any soundbar installation on an existing TV wall mount. I strongly recommend removing the TV from the wall and attaching this bracket. Trying to do it without removing the TV is very difficult and time consuming. This is unbeatable for the price. I have emailed customer service requesting an electronic version of the instructions that came with it. They are clear and easy to understand and they replied and sent them to me very quickly.

Pros
  • Required Hardware Included - Comes with a decent manual and the necessary hardware. We offer an L-shaped soundbar mount with mounting holes on the bottom. If the L bracket is not in the package, we can supply it.
Cons
  • Something else
