Review on VIVO Motorized Flip Down Electric Ceiling TV ๐Ÿ“บ Mount for 23-55 inch Screens, Pitched Roof VESA Mount, MOUNT-E-FD55 by Jennifer Alvarez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good mount when properly installed with 65 " Visio E-Series

I found some of the reviews to be empty as some whiners complain about their mechanical failure. First of all, the manufacturer limits this to a 55-inch TV to weed out those who don't understand how to measure things effectively. If the screw pattern is suitable and the bracket is low enough from the ceiling and also within the weight limit, then it is suitable. I installed a VISIZO 65" E-Series, it weighs 51 lbs, add a pound for cables to be on the safe side, and I'm still within the 60 lbs max load rating. You'll have trouble with one TVs that have a mounting bolt pattern on the bottom of the unit so don't go down that route with the ignorant. I understand why the manufacturer limits this for a 55" TV because not everyone is inclined. I have the ones that come with the mounting bracket Didn't use fasteners, but strengthened them more than necessary, using 5/16" x 1.5" carriage bolts to attach to the plywood and 5/16" x 3" lag screws to screw the plywood to the ceiling. However this may be overkill with the hardware I use, no risk of it coming off the ceiling. Mine is set on a 1" piece of sanded plywood), my ceiling joists are 24" centered, so s I cut the plywood to overlap a few inches at a time for about 29 inches wide and about 24 inches long since the fastener goes a long way in a shorter section. made of polished plywood. For aesthetics I covered the plywood with a nice polyurethane finish. The downside to this bracket is that if I have a problem with the engine I have to remove the entire kit to disassemble the bracket for engine service. It's not perfect, but being able to put the TV away is very convenient. So far I'm enjoying it.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
