Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Optimized Search: Sanus Premium Tilting TV Mount - VLT5B1 for 42-90-inch Flat Panels by Josh Koa

Quality for the price

I didn't want to hang my brand new 65 inch LG OLED TV on a cheap bracket. No, I have to sleep at night. So I paid a few dollars more and got this sanus. Its installation was pretty easy. If you don't already have a spike finder, a nifty little magnetic spike finder is included. The idea is that he finds the nails or screws that were used to hang the drywall, and then he has a little needle to help you find the ends of the studs. I have a spike finder so I didn't rely on it, but it was fun to play with and just as accurate as my spike finder. Oh yes, the little finder also has a built-in bubble level. Nice gesture, sanus To install, I attached the brackets to the back of the TV and then measured from the bottom of the TV to the inside of the top bracket. This told me where the top of the wall mount should be. I attached the included template, measured everything 10 times and marked for my holes. I was able to attach the bracket to two studs, which was sufficient for this TV. I drilled pilot holes (nozzle not included) and used a ratchet wrench to insert the screws into the holes. That was the hard part. After the mount was installed, my wife helped me lift the TV onto the mount and, boom, we were done. Nearly. Someone (that could have been me, but no decision yet) must have measured wrong - I only measured 10 times, number 11 would be a charm. Anyway, the TV is tilted about 1 inch to the right. Luckily, Sanus has screws on each side that you can use to correct this mistake (obviously I'm not the only idiot doing this). The alignment issue was fixed before my wife noticed. A bit pricey, but well made and worth the money in my opinion.

Pros
  • TV accessories
Cons
