The device is an articulating tilt and swivel arm wall mount designed for LCD, LED, and Plasma displays. It offers a versatile mounting solution that combines a slim profile with extensive adjustability, making it suitable for various viewing preferences and room layouts.
The primary function of this wall mount is to securely hold a television or display on a wall, providing a flexible viewing experience. It allows the display to be positioned at various angles and distances from the wall, enhancing comfort and optimizing visibility from different points in a room. The mount is engineered to support displays within a specific weight range, ensuring stability and safety when properly installed. Its design incorporates robust construction materials, specifically 100% High Grade Steel for the arms and mounting brackets, to provide a sturdy and reliable foundation for your display. The mount is designed for single-stud installation, simplifying the mounting process for many users. It comes with a complete hardware kit, including all necessary components for attaching the mount to the wall and securing the display to the mount.
The wall mount offers a comprehensive set of features that enhance its usability and adaptability:
Articulating Arm: The mount features an articulating arm that allows the display to be extended away from the wall. This arm can collapse to a slim 2-inch profile when not in use, keeping the display close to the wall for a neat appearance. When extended, the arm can reach a full 15 inches, providing ample distance for adjusting the display's position.
Swivel Functionality: With a 180-degree swivel range, the mount enables users to turn the display from side to side. This is particularly useful for viewing the screen from multiple angles within a room, such as from a living area and an adjacent dining area.
Tilt Adjustment: The mount provides a tilt range of ±15 degrees. This feature allows users to adjust the vertical angle of the display, which can help reduce glare from lights or windows and optimize the viewing angle for different seating heights. The tilt can be adjusted by loosening a central bolt on the TV plate, positioning the display, and then re-tightening the bolt to secure the angle.
Rotation Adjustment: A 360-degree rotation adjustment is included to ensure a perfectly level display. This feature is especially useful during installation to correct any slight misalignments and can also be used to change the display's orientation if desired. The same bolt used for tilt adjustment controls the rotation; loosening it allows the TV plate to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
VESA Compatibility: The mount is designed to fit common VESA hole patterns, specifically 75x75mm and 100x100mm. These patterns correspond to the mounting holes found on the back of most 12-24 inch TV displays, and some larger displays in the 26-32 inch range if their weight is within the mount's capacity. Users should verify their display's VESA pattern to ensure compatibility.
Installation Flexibility: The mount supports installation on both wood studs and concrete/masonry walls. For wood stud installation, users will need to locate a stud and pre-drill holes before affixing the wall plate with lag bolts. For concrete and masonry, a special masonry drill bit is required to pre-drill holes for the supplied plastic anchors, into which the lag bolts are then inserted. The manual provides detailed instructions for both installation types.
Hardware Kit: A comprehensive hardware kit is included, containing all necessary screws, anchors, and wrenches for installation. This includes log bolts for wall attachment, metric screws (M4 and M5 in various lengths) for securing the display to the mount, washers, a tilt wrench, and a 5mm Allen wrench. The kit aims to provide the most common hardware needed for a straightforward installation.
The mount is designed for durability and minimal maintenance, but it does offer features for ongoing adjustment and optimization:
Ease of Motion Adjustment: If the mount becomes difficult to collapse or extend from the wall over time, the Allen wrench provided can be used to loosen the bolts in the arm joints. This allows users to customize the tension and movement of the articulating arm to their preference. However, care should be taken not to loosen the joints too much, as this could lead to the mount sagging.
Sag Adjustment: In cases where the display experiences sag after installation, the mount provides a solution. Users can tighten the bolts in the arm joints using the provided Allen wrenches to reduce sag. If sag persists, a spacer can be inserted between the back of the wall plate and the wall. This involves partially unscrewing the bottom lag bolt, inserting the spacer, and then re-tightening, which angles the wall plate upward to offset the sag.
Display Hardware Selection: The manual guides users on how to select the correct screws for their display, even if the display does not come with its own mounting screws or if the desk stand screws are not suitable. It advises on measuring hole depth and width, and recommends purchasing a range of screw sizes (measured size plus one size larger and smaller) to ensure a proper fit, especially for metric threading. Washers are provided to match appropriately sized screws.
The mount is a practical and adaptable solution for mounting displays, offering a balance of strength, flexibility, and ease of use, with provisions for fine-tuning and maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
