The Everview EV2700MDW is a middle full-motion TV wall mount designed to securely hold and position a television on a vertical wall. This mount offers flexibility in TV placement, allowing for tilt and level adjustments to optimize viewing angles.
Function Description:
The primary function of the EV2700MDW is to mount a television to a wall, providing a full range of motion. This includes extending the TV away from the wall, swiveling it left or right, and tilting it up or down. The full-motion capability allows users to achieve optimal viewing angles from various positions in a room, reduce glare, and improve the overall viewing experience. It is designed for use with LCD/LED TVs that are compatible with VESA standards, which define the pattern of mounting holes on the back of the TV. The mount is specifically engineered for installation on vertical walls constructed of wood studs.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Weight Capacity: The mount has a maximum weight capacity of 132 lbs (60 kg). Exceeding this limit can lead to instability and potential injury.
- VESA Compatibility: The mount supports VESA patterns up to 600mm (23 5/8 in) horizontally and 400mm (15 3/4 in) vertically. This includes common VESA sizes such as 75mm x 75mm, 100mm x 100mm, 200mm x 200mm, 300mm x 300mm, 400mm x 400mm, and combinations like 200mm x 100mm, 400mm x 200mm, etc.
- Wall Stud Compatibility: The product is designed for installation on wood studs with a minimum size of 2" x 4" and a maximum spacing of 24". It accommodates up to 1/2" of wall covering (drywall, lath, plaster).
- Tilt Adjustment: The mount allows for a tilt range of -3° to +12°, enabling users to adjust the vertical viewing angle to reduce glare or suit their preference.
- Level Adjustment: Post-installation, the TV can be leveled by +/-3 degrees, ensuring a perfectly horizontal display.
- Extension Compatibility: The mount includes "Wall Extension A" and "Wall Extension B" (07 and 08) to accommodate different stud spacing. For stud spacing between 16.5" to 18", only one side of extensions A and B needs to be attached. For 18" to 24" stud spacing, both extensions are used.
Usage Features:
- Full-Motion Design: Provides extensive flexibility for positioning the TV, including extension, swivel, and tilt.
- Easy Installation Steps: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for installation, starting from checking TV bracket compatibility, attaching brackets to the TV, and then mounting the assembly to the wall plate.
- Hardware Included: A comprehensive set of hardware is supplied, including various Philips screws (M4, M6, M8 in different lengths), washers, spacers, lag bolts, and an allen wrench, catering to different TV models and wall types.
- Tool Recommendations: The manual lists necessary tools not included, such as a stud finder, tape measure, pencil, drill, wood drill bit (7/32 in. / 5.5mm), metric wrench (25/64 in. / 10mm), socket wrench (1/2 in. / 13mm), and screwdriver, to ensure a smooth installation process.
- Flat and Curved TV Compatibility: The installation instructions differentiate between mounting procedures for flat screen TVs and curved TVs, ensuring proper fit and security for both types.
- Adjustability: After the TV is mounted, tilt and level adjustments can be made to fine-tune the viewing angle and ensure the TV is perfectly straight. The tilt adjustment may require adjusting the "hardness of nut in both sides" if the mount doesn't tilt freely.
- Safety Warnings: Emphasizes the importance of reading warnings, understanding instructions, and not exceeding the maximum weight capacity to prevent personal injury or property damage. It also advises contacting a qualified installer if there are any concerns.
Maintenance Features:
- Hardware Replacement: In case of damaged or missing parts, users are advised to contact customer service for replacement hardware, ensuring the integrity and safety of the mount.
- Careful Installation: The manual stresses the importance of not overtightening screws when attaching brackets to the TV and ensuring screws do not bottom out in the mounting holes, which can prevent damage to the TV or the mount.
- Adjustment Mechanism: The tilt adjustment mechanism, which may require adjusting the "hardness of nut," implies a design that allows for user-level maintenance to ensure smooth operation over time.
- Product Longevity: By adhering to the installation guidelines and weight limits, the mount is designed for long-term, reliable use.
