A:AnswerOh yes, it will hold up to 60 inches but it has to be mounted attached to a wall. I had to take it back, the sales person said it did not have to be mounted to a wall. Would have been a great stand.
A:AnswerNo. That is the height of the unit. The mount has several hooks on the back for hanging you TV. Depends on where the mounting bracket attaches to the TV that determines how high or low you can mount it.
