“Looking for a technical answer (not the lawyer-driven customer service response) on using this mount for a 65" LG OLED? TV weighs 35 lbs well under 55 lb rating. Know that I will lose some range of motion. Any other problems?”

Just check to make sure the weight rating for the bracket meets the weight of the tv. If it meets the requirements, the bracket will hold it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In non-legalese, the size is more a rule of thumb and based on potential weight and size possibilities, including older plasma TVs. OLEDs are way lighter than those were, and as such, can be mounted with this. The key factor you can NOT go beyond is the weight — that’s just basic physics*. So long as your VESA pattern is within range and you’re under 55lbs, you’re good to go. *The physics of the stress-points don’t change with the size of the TV — only the weight. Moving the TV away from the wall puts X amount of stress per pound on the joints and connection points. “X” x 55 lbs =max stress, regardless of the size of the object since we’re talking specifically about the flat plane of a modern tv. The only caveat is that a curved TV will increase pressure as it will move some of the mass forward, thereby stressing the joints and connectors more than it’s flat siblings when extended.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It swings-out well for the tv’s it was designed for. Would check to verify bracket sizes & have the Geek Squad install it. They’re usually very helpful.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would be concerned about the surface area that attaches to the wall. Was concerned for my own installation as well. Had it professionally installed to make sure that screws were into a stud behind the wall. If I had it to do over again, I would pick up less expensive model with a larger bracket that attaches to the wall to spread the load more evenly. Open a 65 inch range, I would be even more inclined to go with a different bracket.
