Full Motion TV Wall Mount for 46"-90" TVs (2024)

FAQs

Is a full motion TV mount worth it? ›

The full motion TV mount provides the most versatility due to its multiple pivot points which allow you to extend, tilt, swivel, and even rotate your TV. This is especially helpful if you want to mount your TV in a corner or recessed space, which, when extended, can give off a “floating TV” effect.

That means that any TV mount you buy should work, as long as it's rated for your television's size. Televisions use several different VESA pattern sizes. The most common are VESA 200x200 for TVs up to 32 inches, VESA 400x400 for TVs up to 60 inches, and VESA 600x400 for bigger-screen TVs.

In most cases, you'll be able to find your TV's VESA standard size in the user manual or on the manufacturer's website.

Full-Motion or Articulating TV Mounts

Full motion TV mounts (also called articulating mounts) allow the greatest range of movement for your flat panel TV. An articulated swing arm allows you to move the TV towards or away from the wall, tilt it up or down, and angle it from side to side.

A 43-inch TV should be mounted 56 inches from floor to TV center. A 55-inch TV should be mounted roughly 61 inches off the floor. A 65-inch TV should be 65 inches off the floor. And a 70-inch TV should be roughly 67 inches from the floor to the center of the TV.

Causing Uncomfortable Viewing: If your TV is too large for the viewing distance, you may find it uncomfortable to watch, as you'll need to turn your head to take in the entire screen. Limiting Wall Space: A TV that's too big for your wall can create an unbalanced and cluttered appearance.

Wall mounting is an excellent alternative for TVs larger than their stands. This method saves space and significantly reduces the risk of the TV tipping over. Before mounting, ensure your wall can support the TV's weight and use a mounting kit that matches the TV's size and weight specifications.

TV mounts have a specific weight capacity rating that must be adhered to for safety reasons. You'll want to make sure your TV weighs less than the mount's weight capacity limit.

What does VESA actually mean? The VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) interface is the distance between the four mounting holes on the back of a TV (shown as 'horizontal distance x vertical distance'). This interface is commonly used to mount screens on wall mounts or stands.

To find the right mount for your tv, the first place to start is with your specific tv's VESA measurements. From there, you can consider other aspects like tilting, pull down, or articulating capabilities, as well as mounts that are able to be recessed into the wall.

How big of a TV can be wall mounted? ›

Is it safe to mount your 65 inch, 77 inch or even 100 inch TV to the wall? The answer to this is yes, you can mount your XL TV on the wall. Safety is paramount, of course. That's why it is always important to check whether the TV mounts used is TÜV certified.

What is the difference? A low profile TV wall mount helps to fix your TV on the wall and that's all. A full-motion TV mount not only fixes it but also enables the TV to tilt, turn and extend.

Space Saving and Protected from Children and Pets: One of the most significant benefits of a wall-mounted TV is that because the TV is mounted to the wall, there is no need for a bulky TV stand to take up floor space and the TV is safely out of reach of children and pets.
