Perfect niche mount for an old school rear projection TV

Our home was built in 2005 and the common room was designed for an old school rear projection TV. Good thing it has aged like milk. I was looking for a solution without frames and drywall. This bracket solved the problem. The drywall "shelf" above the TV niche is 28 inches deep. This mount is more than adequate for a depth of 43 inches and leaves plenty of room for adjustment. One reviewer claimed the mount didn't work because the bolts were misaligned and the mount couldn't be used off-center. In my case the bolts were as far off center as possible, one mostly dead and the other two 16 inches on each side. This means the mounting plate was 8 inches to the right of center. This is NOT a problem as the mount rotates to either side. I tried to show it in the attached picture. To be clear, the mount is off-center 8 inches to the right, but the TV is dead. This might not work when I was close to the mount's maximum reach, which is 43 inches, but it works fine with a reach of 28 inches. I agree with some commenters that the mount is not easy to move. For me this is a feature and not a bug as I want it to stay in place. If you intend to move your TV frequently, this mount may not be for you. Now it's time to buy a bigger TV.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Flaws
