Review on Sanus Full Motion Mount Extends Studs by Robert Staten

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic TV mount for my 50 " LG HDTV

I love this product. This is quite an expensive TV mount but there are times in life when you actually get what you pay for and this is it is one of them. I can't say enough about this product. But overall it's well made and it's the most flexible two-cleat I could find. I read a lot of reviews of other mounts before buying this product and I was not disappointed Super high quality Well made design Feels solid - Everything you need (screws etc) is included (except tools of course) - Installation is very easy I did it myself by using a 50" LG UH5500 LED HDTV installed. . Installation took a couple of hours, but that involved planning where the studs were, where I wanted the wires to go, and other things. But I would say the mount itself took around 45 minutes after a quick read of the instructions. The instructions were very clear. The best thing about this mount is the ability to move the TV left or right after installing the mount. It was HUGE as my studs didn't line up with the center of my wall. Tilt up and down, pivot left/right, and shift left/right making this the most flexible binding I've found on Revain. IMHO - I've only installed a 50" TV, but I have a feeling this thing can fit a lot more. No sagging or sagging on my tv which weighs about 50lbs - you can go to their website and hook up your tv model to see if it will fit the bracket - low profile so you can slide the tv all the way up to the wall and nothing see much metal or wires. That was an important requirement for me. A dual stud setup means it has good strength. Fits spikes 16" apart and slightly larger. A spike setup increases strength, but can also be a little less flexible if your spikes aren't spaced properly. This wasn't a problem for me as my cleats were 16 inches apart which is standard. My TV is a LG UH5500 LED HDTV. It's VESA 200x300. However, the Sonus webpage for this mount states that this mount supports 200x300. My specific TV is not listed when using the TV Compatibility Tool (I wasn't aware of this tool and haven't tested it). it) until the installation starts). The blocked cables were component and optical cables which I don't want to use, but that almost destroyed my setup for a moment. And note that their manual doesn't show a configuration for 200 x 300, so I found the best layout myself. In general, everything worked, but as I said, the places where some cables could pass were blocked. So be sure to check your TV on its website for compatibility if you want to install without drama. Add a picture to show how the mount fits my TV something useful and not that durable. It would be nice if they were a little heavier and more connected. The cost is higher than some other options but I think it's worth it for what you get. Overall I am happy with the purchase and would buy again!
