Review on πŸ–₯️ VIVO Black Ultra Wide Screen TV and Monitor Desk Mount – Adjustable Height & Tilt Stand (Up to 42 inch Screens) by Jose Schweigert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent desktop mount for large displays but aligning VESA 200x200 extensions can take a while and the screws provided are short

I ordered this to install a Samsung UN40KU6300 (40" 4K display) on my desk and free up some space that the stand used to take up. This TV has a 200 x 200 VESA mounting scheme and was one of the few reasonably priced desktop mounts for such a large display. The box comes with a 100x100 VESA mount and extension arms to adapt to 200x200. I expected extensions to be included already. easy enough, but there was a problem angling them properly - each of the extensions has a few degrees of rotation, and you need them at the right angle to get the TV screws in. the longest part of the installation. It's also worth noting that the supplied M8 screws are only 20mm long and can't even reach the threads in the TV when using the supplied washers as advertised. I bought 30mm M8 bolts from a local shop and used one of the included 5mm spacers along with a washer for each bolt. (M8 25mm screws would have been perfect for this particular monitor, but there weren't any screws that long in the store.) After attaching the stand to the table and the TV mount, it was just a matter of assembling everything. You'll likely need an extra person to help with this part (especially for displays that are large or approaching the heavier weight limit of this mount), or at least something to keep the display raised at the desired height until you get the screws tighten. There are two screws to tighten, one for height adjustment and the other for tilt. Don't expect the display to move up or down with this mount - you'll have to loosen the screw while someone (or something) is holding the display up, and then tighten it back down to the desired height. All in all, the installation probably took about an hour and wasn't too bad. If it weren't for the problem of adapting the bracket (with extensions) to the VESA mount of the 200x200 display and the short screws supplied, I would give this product 5 stars.

Pros
  • ideal viewing angle.
Cons
  • No power
