Geek sqaud was awful Customer service was no help

Product was defective and had to replace with different one.

I put up my first big screen TV almost ten years ago and boy how wall mounts have changed. Currently I have a 65” OLED television mounted above my fireplace. Given the price of some of those TVs you need to ensure that you use a sturdy, quality mount. So now I am moving to a new home and am going to leave the current home with my older mount while getting a newer version from Sanus. I decided to get the SANUS Elite - Advanced Full-Motion 4D + Shift TV Wall Mount as it has some improvements over earlier generations. One of the new features which is ingenious is having a vertically adjustable corkscrew cylinder to adjust the height of the TV. With this design you do not need to overthink the height installation of the mount, as you can always adjust it after easily. Even if you later decide to add or change a soundbar (which is almost mandatory these days, with tinny sounding standard speakers in most TVs) you can adjust the height to accommodate a different size soundbar. In my previous TV mount, you can accomplish something similar with vertical adjustment, however that was a sliding plate design which attached the piece mounted to the wall, minor adjustments could be made, however it was difficult to keep the TV mounted when doing so and the range of the adjust was narrow, plus it was more or less permanent. Now to the installation, most people will be able to self-install this mount, although it is necessary to have two people lift the TV in place, even having a third person is handy. So, if you are a little wary of this do-it-yourself project then leave it to the professionals (or at least someone that has learned from installing one in the past). The mount itself adjusts the angle of the TV, so if you have a overhead light reflecting on the screen you can tilt it to avoid the reflection. In addition, you can pull the TV out from the wall by up to twenty-two inches and turn it in a specific direction dynamically if you are viewing the TV from the side, even temporarily for an event or for cleaning. This is also especially important as some display technologies do not always provide the best picture if you are viewing from a side angle (LCD displays can you hear me?) Confidence is key when using a mount that provides motion flexibility and through the range of movement my almost sixty pound TV always felt steady and secure. Overall, this is a quality well-built TV mount recommended for TVs thirty-two to sixty five inches and up to seventy pounds. Pros: - Adjustability, especially the vertical corkscrew type adjustment - Constructed well - Range of motion providing different viewing angles for events or home theater Cons: - May be difficult to install for some, however that is also true for most TV mounts

The Sanus Elite- Advanced Full-Motion 4D + shift TV Wall Mount for TVs 32”-65” is my first Sanus mount. I have traditionally avoided them and bought other brands thinking they were a little pricey. However, when I saw this mount and saw that it had vertical adjustment I decided to give them a try. I have to say I am, impressed with this mount. I had my doubts about only using two lag bolts to hold it to the wall since my other mounts have four and use two studs.I was pleasantly surprised. You just have to be sure you get the bolts into the meat of the studs as close to the center as possible. Once you do that you can attach the section that mounts on the back of the TV then hang it and secure it to the wall mount. Once you do that you can do your fine tuning and get a feel for the mount. The Sanus Elite Full-Motion mount feels and looks very well made and the all of the adjustments are much appreciated especially the vertical adjustment. The vertical adjustment allows you to raise or lower the TV using screws and preferably a cordless screwdriver which makes it much easier and quicker. This means if you get your TV mounted in your bedroom for example and then lay in your bed to check it out and decide you think it needs to be a little higher for the perfect downward angle while lying down. With this mount instead of remounting it like I have done before you can easily adjust it up or down which makes this mount completely worth it to me with a full 6 inches of travel which is impressive. It makes me wonder why someone did not come up with this feature much sooner. The articulation with this mount is different than my other mounts which surprised me. My other two mounts rotate from a point at the wall and move side to side. This mount only pivots at the TV end but it works well and gives a decent amount of adjustability left to right and of course, there is tilt as well. The innovation Sanus has put into this mount is very noticeable and appreciated. They obviously put a lot of effort into effective and simple installations and functionality. The Sanus Elite AdvancedFull-Motion 4D + shift mount is a well-made quality mount that made me understand why it cost a little more. If you are someone looking for simplicity and maximum flexibility in a compact mount that will handle up to a 70lb 65” TV this mount is a good choice especially if you need a mount that only uses one stud.

I was looking to mount a 42" smart monitor in the laundry room where our treadmill is. This Sanus Elite 4D mount, no matter the ridiculous name seemed like it would do the job. And in general, it did--although from a product perspective it seems to fix a problem that after mounting several of my own TVs, and some of my friends' as well, I just haven't ever encountered. It's not to say that it's not cool. It is, and it's a great idea. The marketing material suggests that your decor may change over time, requiring you to raise or lower a previously mounted TV by a few inches in either direction. Clever? Sure. Necessary? I'm not so certain. TV mounts have become two things over the last few years: easy to install, and inexpensive. Those are great things, unless you buy some fancy mount that has a super wide range of motion, or one that alleges (in one way or another) to literally move through spacetime. The Sanus Elite does in fact move through spacetime, but in the same way that all TV mounts do. The fourth dimension here is actually a third dimension, but not even truly that because it's not something that you should expect to change frequently. The adjustment mechanism is very smooth and feels sturdy, just like the rest of the mount does. The folding arms, the swivel and tilt, all feel great. Sanus also provides a mounting template, which is great-- the last TV mount I installed did NOT come with a bracket, so I had to fashion my own out of the packing cardboard, and I nearly cut my finger off in the process because I was being irresponsible with a knife. In any case, thanks to the template, and provided you can find a stud, installation is super easy with all the required hardware included for a variety of installation surfaces and TV types. The instructions were very easy to read and follow, and the pictures weren't confusing...this is something I find rare with modern installation instructions. Once installed, cables can be run through the mount to keep the installation looking clean, and micro adjustments can be made to keep the TV level. And it was a great overall experience. But the price is...high. Sanus mounts tend to be higher, but they're also ALWAYS in stock somewhere, so when you're in a pinch they're easy to get. What gets me is that at $229, a mount just as capable (without that 4th dimension) can be had for a quarter of that price that, if you're careful, will be mounted appropriately such that extreme vertical adjustments wouldn't be needed. That said, for someone who is particularly sensitive about the aesthetics of their TV setup, and simultaneously want to have some future flexibility, I could see the draw. Still, though, the price is a bit high for my liking. It's a good overall product; sturdy, trusted brand name, neat gimmick (I guess)... but I'm not sure the bang-for-the-buck is there when you can find far less expensive options at your friendly 'neighborhood' online retailer.

I didn’t want to pay GeekSquad installation so I figured I would give this a go. I’m handy so I was confident that with a little help from the wife/kid we could do this. Out of the box, everything looked clean with no dents or scratches as it was packaged well. There is an assortment of screws, spacers, and washers that come with it to help adapt it to different TVs. The unit arrives preassembled which I wasn’t expecting. I’m honestly not sure it being preassembled made it harder to install or not, but I did need help hold the frame up will I installed the 3” lag bolts to secure it to the wall. I would highly recommend making sure you are hitting the wall stuffs as the entire weight of the mouth and the TV. Once the mount is installed, you can mount your TV…which once again…I had to have a little help. We mounted our 55” LG QLED to the wall in the basement. Hanging the TV went well other than my wife’s arms getting tired. Functionality – This mount does exactly what it says it will do. The vertical adjustment was the biggest surprise. You don’t have to dismount the TV to adjust it anymore. That was a huge win, and it was simple to do. The mounted arm extends out about 2’ but it is not a fully articulating arm. That is saved for the joint at the end of the arm which can rotate in all directions. Pros • Easy installation with a single helper – 2 Lag screws and you are done. • Looks good and feels sturdy on the wall. • Cable management (see below). • Assortment of options for mounting hardware Cons • Cabe management (needs more room). • Heavy but needed. Overall – This is the first mount that I haven’t had installed and it when well doing it myself. It looks good and it functions well. My biggest concern is how well the joint at the of the arm will hold up.

First off, Thank you Sanus for creating something like this!! I have a 65” TV that has to be mounted in a very specific space on the wall. Even an inch or so off and it wont fit and will look off center. Before I got this I would measure, put the mount up, put the TV up, realize it was a little off, remove the mount, drill more holes in the wall, and repeat until I got it in the right place. It was a HUGE pain! When I saw this mount I knew I absolutely had to have it! Out of the box you can tell it’s a very solid and well-made product. I had no worries about it easily being able to hold my big 65” TV up on the wall. Installation was a breeze, although the included instruction manual is one of those that basically just has pictures and not really any written instructions. So, some people may have difficulty with that. Thankfully I have installed many TV mounts in my time, so I knew exactly what to do. I found the center of the spot I wanted yo put it, marked the 2 holes, pre-drilled, and then attached the mount to the wall. Literally from the time the box was dropped off, in less than 15 minutes the mount was on my wall. It really was that easy! I then attached the bracket to the back of my TV. This is a universal type mount so you can expand or contract the back to make it fit any mounting pattern you may have. This is also useful for making minute side to side adjustments to make sure the TV is perfectly centered in the place you want it. I hoisted my TV up onto the mount and this is where I ran into the only problem I had during installation. The locking screw that they included to lock the TV onto the mount was about ¼” too short. I tried to screw it in many times, but the threads just wouldn’t catch. Not sure if I just got a bad screw, or if they are all like that. So, I had to paused my installation and run to the hardware store to get a longer screw. If you have the same problem, you need a 5mm screw, just get one that’s about ¼” longer than the supplied one and you’ll be good to go! Once I got that situation figured out, I was able to do a lot of the fine-tuning adjustments. The height adjustment is amazing. You just put your drill in the adjustment screw and start it up and the TV will raise or lower with ease. Its very easy to make very precise adjustments. Then there is another screw you can tighten or loosen that you use to make sure the TV is completely level. Once all the adjustments are made you can easily pull the screen out on the arm and rotate the screen right or left to change the viewing angle. You can even tilt the screen up or down a little bit as well. Then when you are done, you can easily push it back into the exact same place it was on the wall. There is even places you can route cables through the arm as well to clean up the look. Apart from the locking screw problem, I absolutely love this mount and highly recommend it!

If you want to be confident that your TV is secure, get this mount. When I first took this out of the box, I was surprised at the weight of it. I think it may be heavier than the TV itself! Installation was super simple, I really like the fact that it's held on with two big bolts instead of having a huge bracket that you have to drill many holes into the wall to secure. I think the longest part of the installation was figuring out the bolt and spacer combination to use to mount the bracket to the back of the TV itself. (it comes with way more hardware than you should need) It probably took me half an hour total installation time. The best feature of this TV mount is the height adjustment bolt. I love the fact that I was able to put the TV on it and then you can raise or lower the TV about 4 inches either direction. It was always a pain before to figure out how high exactly to install the mount on the wall. Having this height adjustment allowed me just, one single person , to mount a 65 in tv. The range of motion is great, you can swing the TV side to side, tilt it up and down, and extend it almost 2 ft out from the wall. If you want to feel like you have a bigger TV for a special movie night, you can just extend the TV towards you, and it's awesome! I would always try to save money and get a cheapy from Amazon or Menards (always ended up being very wobbly and I was afraid to move the Tv) but now that I have this one I definitely see the value in a very sturdy mount.

This mount is fantastic. The set up was easy although you need 2 people to set it up. This full range motion is wonderful to be able to turn the television in the direction you want to turn it. This wall mount is sleek and can go with any decor. This television mount is very heavy which means it is very strong. The steel will ensure that you have a sturdy mount to mount your tv on. This mount accommodates television in the range of 32-65 inches, with the frame being so well built, you don’t have to worry about your tv falling, even up to 65 inches. The fluid motion is so attractive for this mount especially with a room of huge size. If you have company you can navigate the television in different directions. This television mount can work in any space as to whether it the family room or the den even the bedroom. If you are looking to purchase this television mount you won’t be disappointed. Just make sure you have someone to help you put it up because it is made to last for a long time.

The Sanus Elite BMF522 is a full tilt wall mount that fits TVs 32” to 65”. The installation is easy, and you can click on a QR code for help. I did like the fact that it has a height adjustment after install that helps if you didn’t quite place it in the right location. You can tilt it to remove glare, it swivels for perfect angle of television enjoyment, and it has a max 22” outward adjustment to be able to swivel even the largest 65” TVs. I do bring up a little pre-installation advice and that is to make sure you have the bracket on the stud. Since this mount only has one mounting bracket, you got to make sure you hit center on the stud or you could develop issues in the future, especially if you move the television around a lot. Sanus has always made great products, and this is one of them. It’s made from Study materials; the installation instructions make mounting a no-brainer. I put up a 50” TV without any fuss or issues. I would buy this mount again even for a larger television.

This is my thirdrd experience with Sanus product. The previous two were both overwhelmingly positive. Ease of use combined with high quality is what took away from those experiences. That said, this Sabus Elite - Advanced Full-Motion 4D + Shift TV Wall Mount did not dissapoint! On first experience, I was surprised with how heavy it was. That is not always a positive, but for TV wall mounts, it definately is. You know the frame has the heft to hold your expensive TV. Having installed previous mounts, I was confident in my ability. Just a few standard household tools are required. If you have not installed them in the past and/or if you are not confident in your experience with tools, I would reccomend you find someone who is handy. But overall, installation was simple. I decided to place this in my basement where we commonly watch sporting events. It's a realtively large area and when we have larger crowds (think hockey / football playoff's, MMA events etcetera) the guests can often be spread over a large area. This mount is excellent as it affords the ability to easily move the TV to where the interested folks are. End of the day, this is an excellent choice if you have the need! I would (and have) reccomend to a friend!

The Sanus Elite Advanced full-motion 4D+swivel is a Best Buy exclusive and with a range of 32"-65", it accommodates a wide variety of TVs. I mounted a 46" Samsung and the brackets were set correctly straight out of the box! Clear, well-written instructions are included including QR codes if you prefer videos, or more detail. You can even enter your make/model # of TV and it will show you how the mount should attach to the back of the TV. Installation was easy - simply locate your wall stud, center the enclosed template over the stud, make sure it's level, and mark the mounting holes. Drill into the stud, and mount the bracket with the included bolts. (Instructions are also included for mounting to a concrete wall.) All of the parts you need to mount the TV are included, simply supply your tools! They even included an Allen wrench/tip to tighten the locking screw. It is so much easier to install than a traditional flat-type wall mount in that it only requires 2 bolts. The Sanus is a stylish, modern-looking design that mounts only 2" from the wall, and utilizes a much smaller "footprint" then other wall mounts I have installed. Total install time for me was about 30 minutes, but I removed an old wall bracket first. The Elite has a full range of motion: - tilts up/down up to 5 degrees - swivels left/right up to 59 degrees each way, for a full 118 degree swing - moves up/down +/- 3 inches from center allowing you to adjust the height later if necessary - extends outward up to 22 inches It offers SO much more flexibility than a traditional/flat wall-mount. This design also offers the ability to tuck your cables into the framework for a "clean look", when fully extended or closed. I think it's a great looking wall-mount and was so easy to install!

Among the many options in the market, I found that the SANUS Elite Advanced Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV Wall Mount for TVs 32"-65" is a great one with a functionality that I never found before. Consider that after installation in your wall, you can adjust the TV height 3 inches up or 3 inches down to adapt it to future needs (like installing a TV cable receiver or a sound bar). When I think in a mount, until now I was looking at four components, and the Sanus elite ranks great in all of them: 1.- All pieces and hardware are included. This is the case, all is in the box and you will not need to move to the store to buy additional screws. The only pieces that you could need are a drill for the holes in the wall and a Philips screwdriver. 2.- Made of very sturdy material that it’s a great peace of mind. And this is because TV mounts are quite odd products that you buy hoping with a limited cost that will keep your big investment (the TV attached to it) safely in the walls. 3.- Quite easy instructions. Serving a few TV sizes and having so many pieces included in the box, it was key for me to have clear steps to follow. 4.- Nice design, I love the non-specialy long arm that brings the TV to the front enough while not being too invasive. 5.- I love the room in the arms to place the cables contained as much. Route your cables along the arms of the TV mount and ensure a clean and organized look for your home entertainment system. 6.- Great mobility for your TV after installation to cover all types of angles to cover all viewers' needs in your room. As I said before, in this model, you have the special feature that the TV can go up or down 3 inc. With all of that, I think that this is a great option to keep your TV in the right place. I love it

This single-stud TV mount supports TVs up to 70 pounds. Sanus does a wonderful job of constructing a solid product that is easy to install, easy to adjust and flexible enough to account for my terrible math skills. I’ve never understood how me being the I.T. geek in the family translated to “oh, he would be good at hanging televisions on the wall” but it happened. Sanus makes this task simple with both easy to follow printed directions and videos but their real super power is their HeightFinder database which allows you to enter your exact TV model and your Sanus mount and get the exact measurements for where you need to mount the TV. This way when you screw it up because you don’t read tape measures well, this Full-Motion mount can be adjusted 6 inches up or down to correct your blunder. As a single-stud mount you want to be darn sure you are hitting the center of the stud when you are ready to drill so spend an extra amount of time with the stud finder quadruple checking where that center beam is. While it’s possible to install this mount solo, I always recommend grabbing a family member or friend who can triple-check your measurements. When it comes time to install, they can offer another set of hands to hold the mounting kit components steady. This mounting kit checks all of my boxes being able to easily swivel out, tilt up to five degrees, shift up or down up to three inches and even extend out from the wall for easy access to the rear of the TV when it comes time to add or replace equipment like a sound bar or a streaming device.

Every TV in our home is on a wall mount of some type. All but one was on a similar “4D” mount; the one that wasn’t needed to go and the Sanus Elite was for sure the winner! If you’ve ever installed a wall mount for the TV then this will be similar, however what I love about this style is instead of having to find two studs you can mount it off of one, which is absolutely what I wanted to do since we recently repainted our walls and it gave us a chance to finally use up the last of the paint and spackling we had left over to patch the wall where the sliding TV mount was that this mount replaced. And while we made due with the sliding mount it had definitely outlived its relevancy and usage. So would I recommend this mount to a family member and even help them to install it? Yes! And I have already done the part of recommending it to family & friends because it is fairly priced, sturdy and feels like it has premium construction and has held our 55” TV perfectly fine. Now, once my family & friends buy one, or a few, of these I will most definitely be the one to mount the TV on the wall for them because I’m the guy to do that for my family & friends; I’m the tech and home improvement DIY guy that they always call on. It’s fun. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed!

When I first received the SANUS Elite, Advanced Full-Motion 4D + Shift TV Wall Mount, I assumed it would be just like any other TV mount you can buy. After all, they are all pretty much the same and do the same thing. However this mount allows you to adjust your TV up and down +/- 3 inches, which is pretty cool. Most TV mounting solutions allow you to swing the TV in and out from the wall, but to adjust the height, you have to change the mounting position using the VESA holes, but this requires taking the TV off of the mount to make the adjustment. Not the best as you are trying to get the perfect position. This mount allows you to adjust the height to accommodate a sound bar or clear an entertainment center. To adjust the height up or down, use a drill with the included bits to turn the screw moving the TV. Super easy and very convenient! Installation for this TV mount is pretty much like any other mount so measure twice and install once. Make sure to mount into a solid surface and follow the instructions carefully. If you are looking for great TV mount with more flexibility that others on the market, look no further.

Unfortunately I need to return this and I’m no where near a Best Buy store. We have a Best Buy credit card so I’m hoping this still can be returned or ecchanged.

I finally found my dream television and with this mounting unit I am able to position the viewing position perfectly. The easy of installation for me impressed my wife making me a look like a super hero.

Like versatility of mount and solid build. Great quality!

I purchased a new Samsung 65" TV and this mount displayed it perfectly in my living room. The sleek metal design really looks nice when my TV is extended from the wall. Installation was easy and there were videos online I could follow. I love the height adjust feature! After installing the mount on the wall, I wanted to move my TV down a few inches closer to my console table below. This mount lets you adjust the height up or down without having to remove your TV. Definitely a game changer and definitely would recommend this mount!
