Full Motion TV Wall Mount with 28 inch Extension, Fits 37 to 70 Inch TVs, Installs on 24 or 16 Inch Studs (Aeon 40300-37-70 Inch TVs)

This quality mount is well designed and built from strong materials. It moves easily and smoothly once installed. The instructions are minimal, but adequate - follow them. It is a lot of weight that you are hanging from your wall. Think about it, as the TV extends, the forces are multiplied (fulcrum). To test my install before hanging my TV, I hung from the extended arms (180 lbs) and not a creak from the mount. I added lock washers to the lag bolts, but that's just because I'm paranoid, probably not necessary. There is only one tool included in the package, a hex wrench, you will need the following if installing in wooden studs: drill, 1/4" drill bit, stud finder (if you don't own one, buy a good one with an a/c warning - you never know what's in the wall), socket wrench, screw driver, tape measure, level and pencil. The cable management in the back is only adequate, buy a roll of Velcro straps to secure cables and wires, they'll likely pop out of place otherwise.My install is in an alcove next to a fireplace, so I needed the extension. This mount doesn't disappoint, almost 32" and then you can turn side to side. Smooth and easy to do when watching, but flat against the wall when not in use and unobtrusive.For some reason, the description doesn't clearly mention that you can tilt the TV down 15 degrees and up 5. It does and works very well. Though it's easy to adjust, it's better to lock and leave.Installation: To do what I could by myself, I removed the arm mechanism, 6 screws and very easy. It slides out of the way and then you only have the mounting plate to bolt to the wall. One person can do this once you've drilled one or two pilot holes for the lags. Be sure it's level. You have some adjustment later, but not much, maybe half an inch. In my case the mount was not centered right to left on the wall, but that was easily done by moving the arm assembly to the left a few inches. Lock this in. Mount the TV assembly to the back of your set. This is easy and very flexible to get it centered on the back of the TV. Again, I added lock washers to be safe, up to you. You will install two of the hanging bolts that allow you to hang the mechanism onto the arm assembly, follow the instructions here, leaving them about 3/8" long. This is where you need two people. Hang the TV onto the arm assembly, additional bolts and wrench in you pocket or very handy, so you can easily bolt in the other two. Everything lines up easily and accurately. Tighten securely and you are done.On a side note, I added an electrical outlet just below the mount and fished the coax cable through the wall and out just below the mount. This way, cable box, roku and power cables can all be mounted on the wall behind my 65" TV. I highly recommend this approach for a clean look, no wires hanging down. If like me, you mounted this on an interior wall it's not that big a deal. But if you are not comfortable with electrical work, either hire an electrician or live with wires hanging down. You can't mount any of your gear onto the TV mount as it will interfere with it, but there is plenty of room above or below it. In my case, the TV doesn't quite lay flat to the wall, but very close, maybe a 1/2" more than if not, you won't notice it. The remotes all work fine with the gear behind the TV. For the cable box, I bought the Hideit mount, which is very thin and works great. For the tiny Roku box, I just used industrial Velcro and stuck it to the back of the TV (outer edge). There really isn't much room after all this for a DVD player, so I just put mine aside since I don't use it often, but can be plugged in easily if I do. I suppose if it's a small one it could be wall mounted on the top or bottom of the mount (opposite of the cable box) so the tray open sideways. Then just pull the TV out a bit and load your DVD. Once everything is in place, you can see if you have room or if it sticks out.If you have decent handyman skills, I would allow an hour for installation (just TV mount), but might be done in 30 minutes. It's not hard at all. Cable management probably takes longer than the install. If you add an outlet and mount cable box, etc. behind the TV, you're looking at several hours.This is a strong product that can easily hold your TV. Follow the instructions, don't over-tighten lags (firm, but not stripped) and it will be very secure. That's why I like lock washers, when they are compressed you know you are done. Very pleased and well worth the price.

I bought this mount specifically because the placement of the studs in my wall required an off-center mount and the ability to slide the television horizontally about 16". It's a great piece of equipment and one of only a handful I would trust to hold my 100-lb TV. Unfortunately, my TV's placement of its mounting screws was too narrow to allow for the "room centering" function of this mount (tip before purchasing: check the back of your TV. While the mount allows for horizontal movement, it can only move as far as the width of the TV's placement of its mounting holes). AV-Express was great to work with throughout the process and I will definitely buy mounts through this team in the future.

This is a heavy duty quality mount. We mounted a Samsung Q60 65” 4K HDTV. We needed a mount with a good deal of extension (24”) to bring the TV to the front of the built in TV nook.Pros:The mount is HEAVY but provides excellent support for your viewing investment.Great extension distanceGood priceThe mount is very flexible if your studs are not centered allowing the arms to be moved to either side to center your television.The tilt lever can interfere with the back of the television depending on your TV’s mounting requirements, but it is a ratcheting lever so you can tighten and then ratchet back and tighten more.Cons:Unfortunately the mount is not a clip and rail style making the actual attachment of the television to the mount very difficult. Make sure you tighten the tilt function lever before you attempt mounting your television. You will need another person to help support the television as you bolt the TV portion to the wall portion. The attachment does hang from the top bolt but I would rely on that to hold your expensive television while you wrangle the other bolts into place.The cable pass-through hole is a little small for all the cables you might want to route through it.

First let me say that this mount was one of the heaviest mounts I have ever mounted in the 30 plus years of being in business. Having said that it is also one of the best heavy duty ,long arm extension mounts that was necessary for the application in the nook over the fireplace. This was used for a 65in. Samsung TV and needed to be at almost the full extension of 32in. in order to be centered on the outside of the fireplace nook for the TV. The wall plate needs to have more access holes for the lag bolts in order to reach studs that were not 16-24in. on center. I had to modify the mount holes to make it work. Once in place you need to make sure the extension is in the correct position otherwise it will be impossible to slide the extension arms and TV into place. The instructions do not make this clear, only my familiarity with mounts allowed me to make this assessment. Once this is done the mount works as it was intended. Just make sure you mount this in at least 2 studs, the mount weighs 45lbs. and it is designed for a 135lb. TV.

I had studs spaced at 19" and I had to return the version for normal stud separation (AEON-45200) and replace it with the one (AEON-45250) which accomodates longer spacing. Measure your studs before ordering!It extends out a full 32" but only at flat orientation. If you want to go full 90 swing to the side, the separation from the wall becomes a few inches less. In my case it worked out, but if your screen is larger than 65" it will probably not do 90 degrees, ask the manufacturer for geometry.When folded flat in it is nice and close to the wall. The tilt control lever interferes with the extension arms when the panel is all the way back, but this can be worked around by putting in a couple of 1/4-20 bolts in the slot and leaving it's own lever loose.Summary: a very nice sturdy mount, I am quite happy with it.
