Sanus VLT16 B1 Premium Tilt Mount Review

I purchased this tilt mount on the recommendation of our AV consultant when we were installing a 65" TV over a fireplace. Electrician installed, TV looks great. The TV feels secure and gives just enough tilt that nobody notices. I would buy this again!

I'm an advanced DIYer - certainly not a pro - but I've installed over 10 TVs over the years. This works much like any other Sanus mount, but has the advantage of allowing the TV to sit much more flush with the wall. The coasters can be a bit tricky, but they're worth it.

Our build sits over the mantle case so the screen tilts down a bit, defeating the purpose of a near-flush install. When mounted on the wall at eye level, it fits the wall quite snugly, which is the attachment point for this particular wall mount. Since a locking clip

Let me start by saying that I have bought and installed about 6 different Sanus mounts in my life. I love them and keep buying them. but this one is below average at best. The problem with this is that they used cheap plastic safety catches on an all-metal mount (I've included a picture of my broken catch, it's hard to see, but the circled area shows the broken plastic part I'm describing). The safety latch is a really important component that prevents the TV from accidentally falling off the…
