SANUS Elite - Advanced Tilting TV Wall Mount for 48”-100” TVs up to 150lbs, 6.8” Extension & Multi-Directional Tilt - Black

SANUS makes the best TV wall mounts and a number of other quality home theatre mounting hardware. The Elite line-up is their step up from the more pedestrian line, where everything is just slightly better, nicer, and engineered with that next level of quality. The 4D Tilting TV mount for 48-100" TVs is a slightly upgraded version of the massively popular and highly rated mount for 42"-90" TVs. I'm not sure what the exact differences are but from previous research on my Sanus products usually this means slight changes to handle the larger size and making sure the hinges, springs, and frame can bear the additional size and weight. The other thing with mounts of this size and quality is that they MUST be lag-bolted into studs for larger TVs. Do NOT try and use drywall anchors for TVs that are on the high-end of the size and weight spectrum. The best part about these Sanus Elite products in this range is that they offer mounting slots that can let you hit a stud anywhere along with the TV frame. The quality on this Tilting TV mount are unparalleled. Everything slides so easily as if it was assisted and the hinges and scissor extensions are super sturdy and do not feel unstable or cheap. The only minor downside of these extension type TVs is that they are not as flush to the wall as some of the slim designs. The major benefit however is undeniable, the ability to pull the TV away from the wall to plug in cables, make adjustments, or make any adjustments. I know everyone has had that moment where they realized they didn't plug in an HDMI cable and needed it and its a hassle to try and plug a cable in or to take the TV off the wall. I personally recommend buying enough HDMI cables you need at once and then plugging them all in, then pulling them through a wall if you need to at the same time. I personally don't use the side to side tilt, or the up and down tilt. I just tilt down slightly to limit glare and to direct focal point to eye level sitting on a couch, but I don't like the aesthetic of pulling the TV off the wall and then aiming it with massive tilt downward. If you need a quality mount that you only have to deal with one time for as long as you live at your home, choose Sanus. It is worth the investment to have this in that spot forever and realize as long as your TV has 400x400 VESA mounts and is within the size range, you don't need to replace your mounting hardware, just your TV when the time comes.

The Sanus Elite 4D wall mount is a fantastic wall mount that works and looks great. The mount comes with everything you need to mount it on your wall. There is a QR code on the box that is supposed to give you installation videos, but I guess this mount is too new because it’s not listed anywhere in the products. If you have any experience installing TV mounts, this is not that much different. Installation is pretty straight forward, and the instructions are easy to follow. The quality of the mount is great; it’s made of good quality materials that are strong and heavy duty. I love that the frame on this mount is open and wide, this gives you plenty of room for installing it over electrical outlets, or an in-wall electrical box. Once everything is installed correctly, the mount is able to extend outward almost 7”. This gives you plenty of room if/when you need to get behind your TV for cable/power management. The mount also tilts forward a generous amount, giving you the perfect viewing angle. I installed a 75” Sony TV, that weighs about 95lbs. So, I was extremely surprised at how easy it was to tilt it, swivel it and extend it with very little effort. Yet, the mount is able to hold it steady no matter which position or angle I move it to. The mount does have a low profile, meaning my TV doesn’t stick out of the wall very far, making it look really clean. Overall, I am really impressed with the Sanus 4D Advanced Tilt wall mount. The build quality is outstanding and it functions perfectly. I love how little effort it takes to tilt/move my 95lb TV, and it holds it perfectly in place without shifting. The ability to extend your TV is essential, as it allows me perfect access to get behind it for cable/power management. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new TV mount.

When I purchased my house in December, I had a standard wall mount over my fireplace for my 75" TV, but discovered it had limited features. It only allowed the TV to stay in one position which put the center of the TV above eye-level. Welcome to the Sanus 4D Tilt Wall Mount! Installation is easy - simply place the TV face down on a soft surface and attach the brackets using the included hardware. Attach the wall plate to the wall studs (accommodates spacing up to 26" wide) using the 4 included lag bolts, making sure it is secure and flush with the wall. Grab a partner and carefully lift the TV onto the top brackets and then slowly push the bottom of the TV against the brackets until you hear a "click" indicating that it is secure. You can adjust the TV right/left by sliding it on the bracket and adjust level with the screws on the top of the bracket. You can then pull the TV (carefully) away from the wall and adjust the up/down tilt. Because the scissor-like bracket allows you to pull the TV away from the wall, there's no more fumbling while trying to connect your inputs and power cord! It sits less than 3" from the wall, extends outward up to 6", and supports TV's up to 150 lbs. It swivels right/left up to 15 degrees and tilts from 12 degrees down (making it easy to see from the couch) to 7 degrees up. And because it extends outward, you can tilt it down without it hitting the wall! The scissor-like bracket allows for smooth movement in any direction.

This is my second Sanus mount and I’ve been impressed with not only the quality of both but the innovation. The 4d feature was the biggest draw for me as this is replacing the same type of mount but without these features. I’m currently using a flat mount as I don’t need full motion and I like how the flat mounts keep it closer to the wall. With the Sanus 4d I get the best of both worlds. I get the closeness of a flat mount with motion similar to a full-motion mount. I’m obviously not getting as much articulation as a full motion would give but in my case I don’t need it. Having the ability to extend the tv out and tilt it left and right a little is a huge benefit for me. The biggest pain with most flat mounts is adding or adjusting cables once the tv is installed especially if it’s a big tv, this model completely eliminates that problem. With a weight capacity of up to 150lbs and up to 100 inch tv, it future proofs me some as I’m currently using this with an 85 inch tv. I also like the fact it has a leveling feature built in, so if you were off a little when you secured it to the wall, this will allow you make it level with this feature. I’ve mounted many TVs and sometimes I've had one or two that were just a fraction off so having the ability to adjust it is really nice. If you want the closeness of a flat mount with some of the added benefits of a full motion, the Sanus 4d is a great option.

This SANUS Advanced Tilt 4D TV Wall Mount for TVs 48"-100" is pretty easy to mount and use. Color is black. Being behind the TV doesn't matter to me on color. So installation is key to everything related to TV watching experience. Placement in the room and height are super important. If too high or low and you watch for long duration will cause neck or shoulder strains. Also overall placement will affect room ambiance etc. Also comes with all of the bolts etc needed for installation Also make sure you have someone help you lift and move the TV so you don't mess your body up with a super heavy TV. All this to say. Make sure you place your TV correctly and to your satisfaction. The mount has a template... Yay.... This helps A LOT. So you don't have to drill multiple holes etc. After you mount the TV. Use is really easy. Up down left right are all easy to do to maximize viewing angles. It works for my TV. From easy installation to easy use. I can't complain. I would recommend this Mount for what it advertises for.
