A:AnswerMy TV after mounting is approximately 3.25" to 3.5" from the wall and that is the lower distance from tv to wall with the TV tilted, I'm sure it can extend oass 7" without any problem as long as you have plenty of cable slack and make sure they dont get caught when retracting the mount back.
A:AnswerNot all TV'S created the same average weight, It's rated upto 90" TV and upto 150lbs of weight, i suggest check your TV'S specification to make sure it does not exceed the weight.
A:AnswerDo you mean aluminum wall studs? Then i would imagine yes as long as you also use proper hardware, ysing regular wall stud screws will not work.
A:AnswerIt supports tilt in the vertical and horizontal axes, and can pan out as well, making access to connections on the back of the TV more easy. It supports moving the TV from side to side to get it centered over where you want, within the limits of its size. It does not support raising or lowering the TV in the vertical direction.
A:AnswerYes, it can mount a 50"Samsung. It does not pivot left to right. It has only 2 degrees of freedom, you can move the TV in/out of the wall and tilt the screen up or down.
