Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Enhance Your Viewing Experience with the Sanus MLF13-B1 Universal Wall Mount โ€“ Perfect for 37-80-Inch Screens in Black by Devon Holmes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the biggest mount

This mount is adjustable to a degree. You mount the wall mount on a wall that should be no more than 16 1/2 inches high at the center. You then have a horizontal adjustment of about 13 inches between these two studs midway between the two studs. If you want the center of your TV to be within 1 1/2 inches of the stand you are mounting this wall mount to, you will need a different mount. In my case, the stand ended up right in the middle of a 76 inch wall (with a doorway on each side of the wall), right where I wanted the center of the TV. This was not possible with this mount due to the 1 1/2" offset from the post, so 1 1/2" was the closest point to the center of this post that it could be. Due to the position of the TV in the room, I moved the right side of the TV about 4 inches away from the wall and the left side was pressed against the wall, tilting the screen slightly to the left to make room for seating in the room. Everything seemed focused. So I decided to abandon the mount and proceeded to install it. I had 2 problems. I was missing 2 screws needed to attach the adjustable arm to the wall mount. I ended up having to thread the mount to match the included screws so I could attach the arm to the wall mount. After finally securing it firmly to the wall mount, it was time to hang the TV on the bracket. I hung the TV on my arm and then had to screw in a screw on the bottom to attach and align it to my arm. Access to the screw hole was blocked by hand, preventing the screw from being inserted into the hole. I had to tilt the TV to the side so I could tighten the screw with a screwdriver. I couldn't fully tighten it because I had to leave it loose enough to tilt (flatten) the screen. After all the hassle, I was finally able to finish it. It looks good, nice and solid, but installation is a hassle due to the lack of screws and what I call the imperfect design of blocking the screw hole to level the TV. This is the 4th type of mount I have installed in the last 4 months and it was the most difficult. Not for the faint of heart.

Pros
