A:AnswerYep. That’s what I had to do and it worked just fine. The bracket mount plate is 30 inches wide. Depends how far apart your bolt holes are from each other but you should have room.
A:AnswerAs long as the TV has a VESA standard screw pattern it should fit. As its designed for a 42" TV the bracket would show. May want to look for a smaller size.
A:AnswerYou do not need any tools to tilt up or down.
Just apply pressure up or down and tighten the tension screws (on either side of mount) if you would like to keep in the tilt position.
You would need a 1/2 socket, a ratchet, a stud finder, level, Phillips screw driver, and a marker of any sort for the initial install to the wall.
A:AnswerIf your bolt mounts on the back of your TV are square with one another, yes. Also the bolts that come with the bracket are M6 or M8 with various lengths. So if you want to be extra sure go to your hardware store and buy one of each at least 1inch long.
A:AnswerYes it does tilt upwards and downwards. You can move it off the wall 5 inch on either left or the right side as well giving you that tilt option as well. It’s a solid mount
A:AnswerI have it on my new 85 in and it works great but if you want or need to angel is to either side, or up or down, your better off getting one with more movement range. The TV is so big you dont have much play
A:AnswerWe have an LG. The front of the TV is 6 inches from the wall when pushed all the way in. The back of the TV is not flat; it is curved/contoured, but when pushed all the way in, I can put my whole arm behind the TV easily with extra room. Easy to connect Firestick or any other cord. Would purchase this again.
A:AnswerThe Sanus website is very helpful here (https://www.sanus.com/en_US/products/mounts/) as they have technical drawings for each model they have on their website which shows exact dimensions.
