SANUS Tilting TV Wall Mount for 37-80” TVs up to 130lbs, UL Listed

I've mounted several TVs over the years and this bracket is definitely one of the easier brackets to install. What makes this bracket easier than some others is the bolt holes that span the entire width of the bracket. This helps in adding flexibility to where you mount the bracket, ensuring you can hit two studs and still maintain positioning for where you are trying to mount the TV. The bracket is much more low-profile than my other Sanus tilting wall mount, which is nice. For whatever reason, the tv looks less obtrusive when its closer to the wall, versus 3+ inches off the wall. The tilting action seems smooth, but lets be real, once you find that perfect angle, you're never going to touch it again. Just one word of advice, tighten up the locking nut on the two brackets before you hang the TV. Not too tight, but snugg enough so that when you set the angle the TV doesn't want to droop back down or settle up (in a more parallel position with the wall). The bracket seems very sturdy and well built. I was able to do a pull-up on the bracket after it was mounted on the wall and it didn't budge (just make sure you're in two studs!). If I had any negative comments to make about this bracket, it would be the lack of leveling screws. Some brackets have the option to level the TV after the fact by tightening screws that are on top of the brackets. This is helpful if the bracket is not perfectly level, or if you are mounting over a fireplace. There tends to be more then just one "level line". You have the mantle (which may or may not be level), the ceiling which may or may not be level, and finally you have true level. (Note**doesn't matter if the Earth is flat or spherical). so the additional of after-the-fact leveling screws would help in maybe splitting the difference to make the whole install look a bit better. I'm still giving the bracket 5 stars because its well built, comes with everything you could need hardware wise, and does everything it says it will do. Kudos to Sanus.

This is a great mount for 16" studs. I hung it this weekend and the 26" width gives you some good flexibility with positioning. With 24" studs you may want a slightly wider mount. I used it to hang a 55" Samsung flat screen with VESA 400 mounting holes. I have about 6" range to slide the TV left or right from center with that setup, so was able to position the TV exactly where I wanted to. The included directions were clear and easy to follow, even specifying the proper drill bit to use for pilot holes. Their is a lot of TV mounting hardware included, unfortunately TV's vary so much that the screws I needed were not included. I don't blame Sanus, there's just too many configurations to try and anticipate. I was able to quickly pick up what I needed (M8x45mm) at Lowe's. I recommend looking at your TV instructions for mounting to see what screws you will need ahead of time to be prepared. I debated between this mount and some cheaper high-rated options for a few days, but ultimately I decided that a single steel mounting plate was the safe way to go for a little more money. If you're spending $1k+ on a TV, don't skimp on the details. Having a single mount plate is sturdier, and easier to get level. The two arms that connect to the back of the TV are well designed with a spring loaded safety release at the bottom. I attached them per my TV's instructions and was able to attach the TV on the mounting plate easily. The spring loaded clips snapped right into place. The TV can easily slide side to side still, which is a plus/minus. I would kind of like a set screw to keep my kids from accidentally bumping it to the side once I have the position set. Angle adjustment is pretty easy, there are two screws with knobs you can turn with your hands. You probably want to set those to your anticipated angle at a moderate tension before lifting the TV into place. Reaching behind the TV to adjust the knobs after it's on the wall is a tight squeeze if you have large hands. The TV is so close to the wall that there isn't a lot of room for cables or things behind it. I was able to get a small power strip and my TV only has a single cable that comes out the back horizontally and runs to an HDMI hub, but if you had a bunch of cables to attach after it is on the wall it could be a challenge. Especially if the cables come straight off the back of the TV. You probably want to plug in as much as possible before lifting the TV into place. Once you get everything up it looks great.

I installed this mount for my 85-inch TV and it has held up beautifully. It feels extremely sturdy and secure once mounted, with no wobble or shifting. The installation process was straightforward, and the hardware was well organized. I also like how close the TV sits to the wall and it gives a clean, low-profile look. The tilt feature works smoothly and is helpful for reducing glare and fine-tuning the viewing angle. Very happy with this purchase and would absolutely recommend it, especially if you’re mounting a larger TV.

I debated between this and the Sanus Advanced Tilt (VLT 6). This was $50, the AT $100. The difference is that the AT features extending arms that can position the TV an extra 6" or so away from the wall. (The newer AT model (VLT 7), for yet another $80, also lets you swivel the TV side to side a bit on these arms.) I actually had the older AT in my cart but the coupon expired and I started looking again. I went with this one instead and I'm glad I did. Here's why: It's crucial to understand the function of these extending arms. It's not to move the TV closer; the 6" reach is meaningless for that. It's also not really to allow cable access, though it might help with that in some settings. No, the function of the arms is to ensure that there is room for the TV to tilt - and more particularly, to tilt down, since tilting up is a niche use and the range up is limited compared to down for that reason. Why would the TV not be able to tilt down without coming out? Because the bottom of the TV might hit the wall. But when would this happen? Clearly, if the mounting points of the TV are at or above, say, the midpoint of its height. Are yours? Samsung, for example, seems to have already thought of this. It only occurred to me later, but this is precisely why Samsung placed the mounting points as low as possible on the TV. Pictured is my S89C (same as an S90C) 77" using this non-extending tilt mount. No issue with wall interference at all! So I'm glad I saved the money. True, there may be an connector access benefit to being able to extend the TV out a bit. But if you are mounting over a mantle, you might have the benefit of some protrusion from the larger wall already, as I did. Aside form cost and weight, the AT seems to have few drawbacks. Nonetheless, it's probably just not needed in the majority of cases. This simple, trusty tilt mount was perfect for me. I would, however, recommend spending a few extra dollars for Sanus. I'm sure lots of other no-name brands are fine but why take chances on quality with a big, expensive TV? One last note: my one design complaint with this basic model is that the tensioning knobs are indeed hard to reach and turn behind the TV with no extension. But once you get the correct tension dialed in, there's no need to touch them again.

Pros: Very sturdy, would likely hold more than the advertised weight. Very close to the wall. This is great of you want a tight, clean look without the need for articulation. Cons: difficult to access pull string to released tv from bracket. TV would slowly tilt up toward ceiling until I REALLY tightened the tilt screws. And I mean REALLY TIGHTEN. If you don’t have the grip strength of a gorilla, this will be hard. Very difficult to access rear ports because this is so close to the wall. NOTE: All of the cons are likely due to the fact I hung a 75” TV on this. Most of these cons wouldn’t be as bad with a smaller TV.

This wall mount arrived well packed and in perfect condition. The mounting plate and piece you attach to the back of your TV are sturdy metal and with a high quality black finish. The installation was straightforward and the mount includes the screws and bolts needed to install it on either a wood stud or masonry wall. Once the mounting plate is installed on the wall, hanging a TV on it is super easy - it clicks into place and can also be easily removed without any further use of tools. This model allows the TV to be tilted slightly up or down. The trade-off of being able to tilt the TV is that it sits a little further from the wall than it would with a non-adjustable mount, but it's not bad with this mount. The overall look is still low profile. A highly recommended product.

Sanus has been around forever. But back in the day they used to charge $150+ for their wall mounts. 15 years later their mounts are cheaper. I guess the overseas market made them eat their margins and be competitively priced now. I've always went the cheap route since to me a metal bracket is a metal bracket, and once it's mounted, it rarely gets taken off the wall. But since this is only marginally more expensive and I'm using it to mount a high quality TV, I figured I could splurge another $10 and see what this brand is about. I will say their hardware I can trust. Usually I opt for my own lag bolts / anchors from the hardware store, but the ones that came in the Sanus kit I actually feel confident about using. I will also say the mechanism used to clip in the TV brackets to the mount is easier to use than the cheaper mounts out there. The experience of using a Sanus wall mount over the cheaper brands has it's benefits and I believe the extra couple bucks are worth it.

The SANUS TV wall mount was easy to install, and the wall mount kit came with plenty of hardware. Unfortunately, none of the screw lengths with the hardware package was the right length to install the TV wall mount without first having to make a shopping trip to a hardware store. Otherwise, the SANUS TV wall mount is a good value for the money spent. I would buy the wall mount kit again.

Nice TV bracket overall. It’s sturdy, well-built, and very easy to install. The way the TV attaches to the mount is simple, secure, and feels very strong once in place. The only thing to note is that the wall bolts included with the bracket are quite wide. If you’re installing it on a thinner wall panel (like a 2-inch panel in my case), they may be too large and could damage the panel. Using slightly smaller bolts that fit your wall type would be a better option.

Muy buen producto...!!!

Gran producto, el único problema es que no había tornillos de la medida de mi tv cm (hay más gdes oás chicos) entonces tuvimos que cortar uno de los pequeños adaptadores que vienen.

Does what I need it to! I had someone else install it for me but it was quick and seemed easy. It hasn’t had any issues and works just as I need it to. This is a decent, basic mount for a great price.

Great qualityAt a great price was about to spend four times as much money on something I did the same thing I’m hanging at 75 inches TV off of this . it was easy to assemble . came with all the screws for any job -concrete -brick - drywall A word of advice set the angle before you hang the TV it’s a little difficult to get at after the TV is on the rail . It’s been two months and not a problem
