Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Monoprice Cornerstone Series Full-Motion Articulating TV Mount: 37in to 63in, 132lbs Max Weight - Black by Mike Groover

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solid corner mount, labor intensive installation

Just by looking at the design you can tell that it will not be easy to install while maintaining a flat and flat surface. That. But it's also very valuable for those corner setups on a budget and helps a lot when you create a template, have a laser level and plan out each step of the setup. One important thing to note: the included anchors are for concrete only, not drywall. Where I could only attach to drywall, I've used my own snap-in tumblers rated at 265 pounds, and where I've encountered cleats, I've used Spax power tabs. When installing I would strongly recommend 6 contact points on each "leg" when mounting (only 8 mounting holes but 2 is impractical due to construction) with at least one set of mounting holes per stud when installed in a typical frame becomes houses. I was able to get one foot to hit 2 studs where that angle was close to the wearer's square stud and the other to hit a single stud. Elsewhere, I've used large latches for stability rather than extra cargo capacity. Giving these hinge mounts as many contact points as possible makes them feel very stable when handled. While this mount is overkill for the old 49" Sony I have in my practice room, it also supports a Sonos soundbar, an Apple TV, a TV power adapter, a small network switch, and a small power strip to power all 3 to supply power to devices. That weight adds up, so if you're doing a flush install with a soundbar, network device, streaming devices, etc., you should also check the weight rating of your mounts for safety reasons.

Pros
  • TV accessory
Cons
