5 Stars One of the best…
Sanus is probably one of the best wall mounts that I know of–and this particular model is my favorite. The 30″ arm gives you a great deal of flexibility when positioning the TV–which is excellent if you have a living room with different seating options around the room.
5 Stars Excellent product
We installed the Sanus mount for a 50″ Samsung Plasma. Installation was a snap as was mounting the TV to the mount itself. Sanus supplies a wide range of screws for every TV that the mount is recommended for. The mount works smoothly, articulating in all directions and includes the ability to adjust how easily (or not so easily) you want the movement of the arm to be.
After mounting it was not perfectly level and plumb, but close. The mount happily includes fine adjustments for plumb and level which were very easy to use.
Recommended hole size into the studs were a bit tight, as others have noted, but using the old carpenters’ trick of lubricating the lag bolt threads with soap made the job no problem. The lag bolts themselves were definately adequate but it’s easy to see how trying to force the lags into the recommended hole size could snap any lag. I would never recomend going against the manufacturers hole size, however. Just take a bar of soap and scrape the lag across it, getting soap into the threads. The lag will go in smoothly.
Heavy duty construction and quality paint. I would definately recommend this mount.
3 Stars Check your wall stud locations before you buy
Sanus does not mention this anywhere in their product descriptions, specifications, or on the box, but this product can only be installed on walls with studs on 16″ centers, or less. Exterior walls, and some other walls, on many houses built in the last 25 to 30 years will have 2×10 studs on 24 inch centers. Sanus only mentions this deficiency in a small note on page 5 of the installation manual. I discovered this only after I bought the wall mount and unpacked all of the pieces. I ended up having to cut a hole in the wall and building a 2×4 frame to fit inside of the existing studs. This added a extra day to the install, added extra expense, and required 2 trips the home supply center.
Other than this important omission in their product, it’s an ok wall mount.
5 Stars Worth every penny!
This mount looks great above the fireplace. The tilt is so nice i have not had to articulate away from the wall for reviewing. I was looking for a mount that did not protrude too far from the wall and this lines up perfectly over the mantle. I would recommend this to a friend
5 Stars Sanus Flatscreen TV wall mount
Don’t be fooled by a product window that appears unattractive – the Sanus Wall Mount is superbly designed, easy to install, and beautifully functional. One note, however – the “easy installation” does include appropriate anchoring, the tools recommended, a little time and a little care – don’t expect it to pop out of the box and leap onto your wall – it is not like hanging a picture. If you’re not home-renovation ready but want the option of use, I’d recommend purchase and a professional installation: that said, the installer should be done with it inside of 30 minutes, and providing your wall offers the proper support, it’s something of a breeze – easier than hanging a door, for example, but in the same league. The black wall mount has a lacquer finish and the screen rotation is fully satisfying. Perfect for loft use – the design is somewhat adult, and minimal however, and may distress some in an otherwise pretty suburban home, where pastels reign. Do not purchase however if the wall you wish to mount the unit on is anything less than rock-solid secure; and there may be a problem with attaching to aluminum studs.

4 Stars Great Wall Mount – Confusing Specs
I purchased this wall mount for my new 55″ Samsung LED TV. It was easy to install and seems very sturdy. The Amazon listing states “for 37″ to 56″ TVs”. When the item arrived, the packaging said 30″ to 50″. I checked on the Sanus website and it says that this mount is for 37″ to 56″ TVs. I have an older 30″ to 50″ Sanus mount in my basement and this new model is larger, but the inconsistent labling is confusing. I was able to mount my 55″ TV with no difficulty. PLEASE correct the labling issues so that we can buy with confidence that it will perform as advertised.
5 Stars A winner
We have a very small space, this is a sturdy wall mount that not only frees up floor space but it also makes it simple to change the position of the tv many times over the course of the day. We pull it way out when we’re cooking in the kitchen, point it to the table if you want to check out the news during lunch, and in the evening it’s pointing at the sofa. It’s child proof, earthquake proof, and looks great with the tv on the wall. We actually have two of these, one in our main living area and the double armed one in our bonus room, we were so happy with the first that we bought the second one.
4 Stars Nice, solid mount
I was shopping around for a nice articulating mount for my 108 pound 50″ Samsung plasma to place above my fireplace and settled on the VMAA26B. While not the cheapest mount around, it’s still less expensive than many of the others. I’ll admit I had some second thoughts after seeing how much cheaper the mounts at Monoprice were, but I don’t think this is the type of device you want to be cheap with either. As many of the reviews already state, this mount came with a great set of instructions as well as parts to fit pretty much any sort of TV. All of the parts seemed to be very of high quality and I did not have problems with the lag screws I saw in other reviews. A word of advice, don’t ever try and do this yourself – you need two or three people to get a heavy TV like mine onto this mount. When it was mounted, I realized the TV looked like it was leaning the slightest bit to one side. With this mount, it’s not the end of the world – there are some screws in the back of the mount that when loosened let you make minor adjustments such as this, tighten and you’re good to go.
5 Stars Good product
I love this wall mount. Definately want to have a friend help install this mount with you. I put it over the fireplace and am using it for a 50″ Samsung plasma TV, dont remember the exact model # but it was the 1080p. I was definately hesitant at first and half expected it to be lying on the floor when I woke up but my fears were misplaced. The mount has done very well and is very easy to move, extend, tilt, etc. I am constantly moving it away from the wall and turning it so I can see it while I am in the kitchen. One last thing you might want 3 people if possible, and that is mainly for putting the full tv/mount onto the wall, my wife and I did it and we succeeded but it was pretty heavy and awkward due to the fireplace, another person would have been nice considering how much money I had in the TV:)
5 Stars Sanus is obvious the leader in high quality mounts,
I bought this a while ago and delayed final installation for various reasons. Found that my stud spacing was 24″. Also, the studs were 2X3’s..and I am cautious about drywall this old.
Sanus systems,upon consultation, solved my dilemma, and sold me a longer plate from their king size model DD 26, and I paid a fair amount extra for this part and shipping ( I now have a spare 17″ plate to store..). About 70.00 extra adtually,still came out ahead…vis a vis the local home theater places. The solidity and adjustability of this model and the telephone support from the company are without any question commendable. I did not buy it from Amazon at the time, (could have been some vendor did not ship outside Conus) but their price is incomparable and I am sure it is the Best Buy at present. This one is not being pushed to any limit. I use it with a Panasonic 37″ in the bedroom and it moves as on a gimbal…meaning nice. I would recommend it. I was not in a position to do the installation and hired a contractor from Best Buy (Geek Squad). It took the two pros an hour to hang it, and the charge was nominal for any house call nowadays. I would say it is well within the capabilities of the average handyman. Was planning to do it myself. Instructions are decent enough. Product is strong and adjustable enough to almost meet a “MILSPEC’ combat strength steel. (Be careful what you use to polish it , as my Gelgloss cleaner caused streaks and rubbed some of the coating off,a caveat for those who rub too hard..maybe stick to soap and water)…
Don’t opt for a lesser quality product at this good price, it is a furnishing you know. Wall plate with flanges and big holes part is a little ugly looking ( if you are fastidious) but not prominent. I think I will maybe devise find a cover for it. And also buy a molding to hide the wires. A bedroom with lots of wires because I shift gear a lot and will be upgrading some components. Since I did not require this bury the wires in the wall my bedroom, not a home theater. I was willing to just pay for labor and a comfort of a warranty. Was worth having someone who has done this before. Don’t pay outrageous prices for the mount when you can save hundreds by shopping on line.Sanus is non pareil… Only up one for use for one day,so will return to remark later if any real problems surface. Hardware was adequate. Weight supported in my case was about 50 lbs. A lightweight TV by today’s standards. I am satisfied.

5 Stars Solid, affordable and easy to install HDTV wall mount
I bought this wall mounting system based on the other person’s review. I’m glad that I did. UPS delivered this mount on the same day my new TV was getting delivered. With a little measuring, I had this installed in about an hour. It came with all of the hardware and fasteners that I needed. No missing pieces. No damage or scratches. It mounts to studs and it very strong. There are holes in the base plate to run wires through. They are in 2 different places so you can pick the location that fits your situation best. I was worried that this might be a 2-person job but I did everything by myself. I mounted a new 40″ Samsung. It fits securely and will not fall off the wall by mistake. I have had to remove the TV 3 times due to adding components and running new wires through the wall. Loosening the security screws on the TV rails allow you to take the TV off of the wall, do your business and hang it back up again in no time. Tighten the security screws once again and you’re done. You can tilt the top down if you like but I have mine flush with the wall. It looks classy and there are no visible wires. My wife thought it was magic. This is a great bargain and well made. This is the wall mounting system for you too.
4 Stars works great for cheap
Easy to install and works the same as brackets priced twice as much. I went out on a limb to ‘buy cheap’ and was rewarded for once – why pay $75 for the same piece of metal just because it’s branded? This one works great.
5 Stars Great mount
This wall mount was much cheaper than others I found, plus it tilts which is a great feature! I am very happy with my purchase.
