A:AnswerUsed this in my bedroom and mounted it on the stud just above the wall outlet/cable outlet at about 74" for a 43" tv...perfect height and liked that it could be tilted down a little too.
A:AnswerThis mount's instruction says to do the installation in only one way; but that way didn't work for me, so I put the mount upside down. So far it is holding very well a 49in tv. Your application is different, but I would give it a try If your tv is small. You always can add some type of hook for safety.
