It will hold, I have an older sony that I mounted on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi, The mount is pretty solid, but I wouldn't hang a 106lb TV on it unless it was a completely flat TV. The farther away the weight is from the bracket the more stress there is on it, so if you have a plasma or "thicker" TV then it's possible the TV bracket will pull off the wall bracket. If you do try it, make sure you screw the wall mount solidly into a wall stud on each side.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would always go by the manufacturers statement. that's who'll be covering your butt if something bad happens. I think it'd be fine, but still wouldn't chance it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think if you hit the studs and throw an extra scew in, you will not have a problem with a little extra weight. Seems to be very strong.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would stick with the 100 lb limit
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would go to Insignia's website. Most of the information on BestBuy.com is accurate. However it called my 8310 an 8130 and I went crazy because I couldn't find that model online(not a wall mount). Does your TV weigh that much even without a stand? Usually there are two spec's for with and without. If you use wall anchors from a hardware size, preferably metal and graded for more weight than you are mounting, not the one's that came with it, but one's that match the screw size and make sure to hit the frame wood, not drywall. The mount will not come off of the wall. However, the brace you attach to the TV is what dictates the second part of the equation. It hooks onto the wall frame you install. My Insignia wall mount is the same as yours. But, my TV is a 55" LED and does not weigh as much as yours. Would I gamble? Go to Insignia's website, they even have installation instructions. After that, it's a tough call. I will not decide for you because you spent the money on obviously a plasma or OLED because regular LED's don't weigh that much. If your mount is product Model: NS-TVMFP23 the website uses best buy's info and says 120lbs, so, I say if it were me, I would mount it with the extra strong anchors.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
