User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Sanus Articulating TV Wall Mount
Sanus makes the superior product in this class of goods. All is very well constructed, the holes all fit the TV perfectly, it seems very secure when mounted on the wall, and the extensioin and tilt is exactly as advertised for the 40″ Sony TV I installed in my office. I recommend this product without equivacation.

3 Stars VM-400B mine is not straight – no really
Note: Mounted this Wall Mount in the corner of a room.

Swinging TV to one side results in TV tilt to left side. Swinging TV to opposite side results in TV tilt to right side. TV is balanced if TV mount is in between the two side walls (aka – in the middle). I got the TV Wall Mount perfectly mounted and aligned vertically, but got a TV mount swing-arm that has an error that can be seen (TV is crooked!) after shifting the TV from one side-wall to the other side-wall. The tilt is slight, but enuf to really notice. What a bummer, because I had plans to use the TV in both positions (left wall verses right wall) during different times. Also used a 400 x 200 Sanus adapter plate (MA1A-B1), but using this adapter has nothing to do with the error described here.

5 Stars Well made, easy to install
I used this braket to hang a 32inch flat screen. It was very easy and the construction of the mount was excellent. One point to bare in mind is that the center of the tv ends up being 3.5 inches offset from the center of the wall mount due to the folding pattern of the arm. So the stud needs to be 3.5 inches to the left of TV Center line.

4 Stars Good mount but check if adaptors are required
The mount is sturdy and robust and pretty easy to install although I have some issues with the TV Compatability as shown on the Sanus website. Before purchasing I used the Sanus site to confirm that this mount worked with my TV and it indicated that it did but an adapter was required. I purchased the additional adaptor but when the mount arrived the adaptor was included. According to the manufacturer the adapter is only included in newer production but I was still faced with returning an unneeded adaptor and incurring the shipping charges. In addition, although Sanus provided three different sizes of screws with the mount none of them was the right size for my TV so I needed to make a trip to the harware store to complete the installation.

5 Stars Works Perfectly!
This TV Mount works perfectly. We have a 32″ LCD Samsung and it looks great on this mount. It feels sturdy and it hasn’t fallen, or even moved, with the amount of times I have bumped my head on the TV. LOL!

Definitely recommend this product! Will buy another when ready for the next TV.
