Chief - Reaction Full-Motion TV Wall Mount for 42" - 71" Flat-Panel TVs - Extends 37" - Black

This mount is best for heavy and extra large flat panels tv especially if you want to feel reassured that it won't fall during an earthquake. The mount is especially useful when wanting to have the option of pointing it in different directions specifically when you have a wide open floor plan. The mount is not suited for mounting directly to a wall whereby you don't want to see this bulky gadget. I have it mounted in a recessed entertainment system that conceals the entire mount but gives me the option to pull the tv in/out and point in various directions. I expect the that mount will loosen up with more use as I have only had it for a 2 months. When the installer put it in he hung on it just to demonstrate how sturdy it is as the mount did not budge at all. The mount is the best quality and appears to be built to last...just make sure you mount it on a stud!

It's by far the best wall mount that I have come across. However, it does require two persons to install it correctly. Don't get intimidated by the hardware which comes with it. You most likely only need to secure the leg bolts assuming you have good stud finder and know how to use it. Remember to level it! Just for your reference, I have it mounted above an in-wall gas fireplace, which I contemplated a lot before installing it. I also have a Sonos playbar between fireplace and TV. Just make sure you leave at least 6 inches between your playbar and fireplace. It goes without saying that you SHOULD test the fireplace to get the most safe distance between fireplace and playbar/TV. This is not a one-size-fits-all advice so take it with grain of salt and at your own risk. I think the safest thing to do, if you are not a very handy person, is to have professionals install it for you so you don't need to sweat bullets and would have a piece of mind.

This mount was recommended to me by the Magnolia advisor that came out to my home to help me plan a TV install in a challenging area. The mount needed to rotate 180 degrees, and come out from the wall at least 18 inches to accommodate two main viewing positions. The mount was used on a 55" Sony 900E TV. I am very happy with the mount. The construction is very solid and it actually looks much more attractive than most mounts. The mount is extremely flexible as I can move the TV to many positiions. My requirements were met and I am a happy camper. One downside I see with the mount is it tends to lean backwards when changing position but is easily straightened out to the desired position. The other is it is not cheap, but you get what you pay for,

I hang every TV in my house. Just looks nicer. I typically buy a $50 mount and it does the job just fine. Now when I purchased my new TV, I know I needed something a little more secure. This fits the bill. I needed something with full articulation and I needed it to swing way off the wall. This was the answer. Once you secure the lag bolts into the studs, this is a very secure mount. Extends out 37" from the wall, so you can go almost 90 degrees on the turn. Easily tilts and slides in and out. It's a great mount. This mount supports an 85" 4K TV, weighing 121 pounds. And there is no problem as it supports up to 200 pounds (and probably more) Plus its a very good looking mount, so even when the TV is off the wall a ways, you have no shame in your friends seeing the mount! Go get it if you have a 70" or larger TV and you need articulation.

I was looking for a wall mount for my huge (both weight and size) Samsung television. I noticed a couple of available models; however, due to the ratings, I decided to go with this model. It is EXTREMELY durable (I think the mount weighs almost as much as my TV) and appears to be very well-made. It is very, VERY heavy and definitely requires two people to manage and hang. It works very well and makes my TV so very manageable - I was very impressed. The only thing that was hard to swallow was the price. There are other brands that say they hold the same amount of weight and they are about one-third the price of this brand/model. I went the "better safe than sorry" approach and went the more expensive route (I don't ever want to know if the cheaper models do the same job equally well...); however, it was definitely a tough pill to swallow.

Found this at Best Buy when I also purchased my HDTV. I was looking for a mount that had a 27" or greater extension and I stumbled across this open box item, after "googling" & learning of it's tremendous extension I offered less than 30% of the retail price, to my amazement it was accepted. Once home I was forced to by extra parts, first my studs were 24" oc so the 16" oc wall mounting brackets wouldn't work. Second, my new TV is 46" (due to location restraints couldn't buy a larger TV) and the TV attachment interface was slightly to big, it wouldn't have been a problem on a larger TV. With the extra money spent the deal was still good but I didn't save as much as I thought I would. I installed the unit myself with a little help as the Chief mount is heavier than my TV.

I was looking for a versatile mount that would give me the ability to turn my 52" TV at least 90 degrees off of a side wall for viewing. This mount is the most versatile mount I could find, and allows me to extend, tilt, and turn my TV in so many unique ways. It's a little pricey, but once I got it mounted and started using it, it was well worth the money. I've also gotten many compliments on how good it looks on the wall. I would recommend to anyone needing a versatile mount that will last longer than the TV will.

This is an excellent TV mount and very easy to use. It provides great versatility in movement in every direction. The ability to raise and lower the mount after it is attached to the wall is a nice feature if you need to make adjustment to your TV height or change TVs. The craftsmanship of the components is great and it goes together very easy. It is a heavy mount so the initial attachment to the wall will require two people. You definitly want this mounted to a solid surface (stud or masonry).
