Review on ๐Ÿ“บ For the Ultimate TV Viewing Experience: FORGING MOUNT Long Extension TV Mount with 43 inch Dual Articulating Arm, Full Motion Bracket for 42-95 inch Flat/Curve TVs, Holds up to 165 lbs, VESA800x400mm by Ryan Gordon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Difficult to install

Wall mount is not large enough to span more than 2 studs in wall. Once you find 2 wall studs to attach to the bracket, it's not wide enough to allow for more positioning flexibility. For example, if you find 2 pins and they aren't exactly where you want them, you won't be able to move the bracket back and forth to center the TV. So you screw the mount to the wall and rely on moving the TV from side to side to get it where you need it. If the pins you're attaching them to aren't exactly centered behind where you want them, you'll have to move the TV along the mount to find it. This will make your TV off center and heavier than the bracket on one side. Also, I've noticed that after a month of installation, the drywall is shrinking along the bottom edge of the wall mount. It is rated at over 160 pounds. but i am only 75 pounds. on topic. The wall mount needs to be wider to screw onto three wall studs, spreading the weight over a larger area and allowing more flexibility in positioning. Overall, the mount allows me to rotate my 65" TV 90 degrees and holds it in place. It sags a bit, but that's due to the very small wall mount.

Pros
  • TV mounts, stands and turntables
Cons
  • May cause injury
