A:AnswerThe instructions show metal, wood and concrete install, may want to drill a small pilot hole before screwing the mount bolts in. New TVs don’t weigh much these days so as long as you hit a stud you should be good.
A:AnswerI don't think an extra 1/8 inch is a big deal. However, since you are hanging a huge TV, I wouldn't risk it. Go down and get some longer bolts from the local home improvement store just to be safe. A couple extra dollars spent on bolts that could save that nice 82 inch TV sounds worth it to me.
A:AnswerThis mount came with several different screws. I do believe that with all the options it gives you you will be able to find screws that fit your tv
A:AnswerYes it will fit any tv 29 inches to 95 inches as long as you mount the brackets to the back properly. For anything smaller than 55 the 4 mounting bolts that enter the tv will need to be purchased at a hardware store with properly fit washers to prevent the tv from moving or the smaller bolts from sliding through the mount brackets holes.
A:AnswerIt doesn't have the weight listed on the label because it was delivered by the local Best Buy. However it's a slim rectangular box and if I had to guess it's no more than 15-20 pounds in weight. Hope that helps!
A:AnswerShould be fine. Their website says SANUS VMAA26 is a full-motion wall mount for 37" – 65" TVs up to 130 lbs. Your new 50" tv only weighs 40 lbs so it is well within the mount's capabilities.
