no problems, tv was delivered ontime and no issues.

Great mount, but heavy as all heck so be ready for some aleve afterwards

Great for a smaller tv. I decided to go for another one for by bigger tv.

Product works great using on 75 inch pulls away for wall extensions excellent

Works perfectly. Well constructed. It is a good choice

I bought this mount because I have really liked all the SANUS mounts I have installed previously. I bought this model because I believed the ability to move the TV up and down after installation would be a nice feature. It turned out that feature is why I returned it. I was unhappy with the design of this mount because the height adjusting lever is visible below the TV when looking at the TV from the front, the viewing location. It just looked tacky, like it was a mistake. The Best Buy installers had an alternate SANUS mount in their truck and installed my TV with that one. I'm pleased with the new mount even though it does not have all the adjustment capabilities of the returned one. Best Buy was of course great throughout. They delivered, installed, replaced and issued a refund for the first model the same day I returned it.

I had a full motion Sanus mount that I liked from seven yrs ago, but it did not fit my new tv. I bought this for the range of motion, but it has less range than my prior one arm model. I cannot pull it out, tilt it, and then push it back on an angle like my other. The two arms are limiting. Also the shifting up and down is not easy to maneuver. It requires unscrewing and then using a crank.

The rep said the mount could move up and down if the istall wasnt perfect. That wasnt the case.

Maybe I should have read the info better because this is so heavy even if you attach to studs it would be precarious especially with the tv in it.

Very poor set up, was told that the wall mount fit the TCL 85" TV, it did not and had the mount already mounted when we realize, had to figure out how to correct. Paid for a good mount and it did not work.

Installation was horrible. No one ever came back to correct it

The SANUS Elite Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV Mount for TVs 42"-90" is a beast of a wall mount. I have worked with smaller wall mounting kits (single arm, double arm, and flush mount, that were 42” to 65”. The double arm armatures for the SANUS Elite are easily double the thickness, weight, and mobility of the smaller kits I have assembled. For example, I have a SANUS single arm from about five years ago that my 65” LG TV is hanging on. Pushing the TV towards or away from the wall cause the panel to flex slightly because the joints are so tight. The joints on the double armed SANUS Elite, on the other hand, are very easy to move. There is also a tension screw at the elbow of each arm allowing me to tighten or loosen the arms for my specific application. In my instance, I often move the position of the TV if I need to work behind my entertainment center to change out or adjust wires, power cables, or if I am changing out equipment. Being able to push the TV out of the way creates both an easier work experience and increases my personal safety. Personal Safety? Meaning, I can reduce the risk of bouncing my head off the TV when working behind the entertainment center. Quality: The overall build and materials of the SANUS Elite are fantastic. The system is made of steal. There are a few plastic parts which consist of rail covers for the mounting frame, cable covers for the armatures, and some cosmetic pieces. The armature assembly alone weights approximately 28.5 lbs. The wall plate looks thin along the edges but is very stiff and feels rugged in the hand. The wall plate is designed to allow the armature to slide as far as it needs to along the mounting track in either direction. However, follow all of the TV mounting instructions, recommendations, and heed all the warnings outlined in the manual. Just because you can mount your TV with the armature as far to the right as the mounting bracket will allow does not mean that it is a good idea. Assembly: I cannot stress these points enough: 1) read the instructions and learn them forward and backwards, 2) work with a buddy, 3) dry assemble this on the floor before attempting to mount this on your wall, and 4) measure everything before you begin. The instructions for the SANUS Elite are good but could use more written explanation and, in some instances, clearer images. The manual is designed with picture first instructions with minimal written explanation. This is why point 3 above is so important. Some pictorials lack sufficient context which forced me to inspect the whole mounting system before I could I follow the instruction. Good examples of these are the elbow tension screws, the tilt screw, the TV mount locking screw, and the screws required to engage and lock the height adjustment handles. Next, measure everything twice. A properly mounted TV should align the center line of the TV with the your eyes at your viewing position. At least as much as possible and practical with the realities of your viewing space. The SANOS Elite does allow 4” adjustment up and down off the center of the top armature where the TV mounting plate is located. The TV mounting plate is higher than the center line of the wall bracket by about 2.25 inches. This may seem insignificant but, if ignored, could really throw off your installation and your overall cinema experience. My recommendations is to get a piece of paper and draw out the project using measurements from the floor to each piece, including entertainment cabinets, center channels, sound bars, other mounted equipment, etc… to ensure you get the alignment you paid for. The vertical adjustment mechanism will allow for any flaws in measurement and with mounting different TVs with different mounting hole configurations. The TV mounting frame will also offer adjustment options. My recommendation here is measure for today’s TV and, if known, tomorrow’s TV. For example, if you have a 65” TV today from manufacturer X and you want their 77” TV tomorrow from the same manufacture then you can reasonably assume the mounting holes placement on today’s model will be the same or similar on next year’s model. TV Mounting Bracket: The TV mounting bracket will align and work with any TV I can thinking of at any size between 42” and 90”. The bracket has a series of static, well placed holes along the top half of the vertical mounting bars with a long groove cut out of bottom half. The idea is that the top VESA mounting screws will secure using the statically placed holes and then the bottom of the bracket will automatically accommodate the lower screws regardless of their position as long as they are perfectly vertically aligned with the top holes. The vertical mounting bars will also adjust outward, horizontally, on the frame to accommodate narrow and wide VESA mounting hole positions. The mounting arms are then locked into place using screws. The bracket will then pop into the armature mounting plate with little fuss. Be sure to tilt the TV slightly when mounting the TV to the armature mounting plate. This is so that the TV bracket can latch into place properly. Be sure to screw in the locking screw once the TV is in place. Do not try to tilt the TV forward or back until you lock the screw into place. Otherwise, the TV may fall of the mounting arm. Finally, there is a vertically aligned screw next to the TV bracket locking screw that can be used to level the TV. Final thoughts: The SANUS Elite Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV Mount for TVs 42"-90" is well-constructed, heavy, durable, easy to manipulate, and will accommodate every large flat panel TV that I have seen. The height adjustment is a real saving’s grace to help with vertical alignment issues as well as moving from different size TVs. It is not magic, but it is a welcome feature that solves more problems than it creates. If you are in the market for a new TV, and are tired of engaging in a small construction project that accompanies a new TV, then give the SANUS Elite a try. It may be exactly what you have been looking for.

All hail the king of TV mounts! The SANUS Elite Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV mount should be your first choice when wall-mounting a TV. With a proven trust and reliability track record, SANUS has been my go-to mount for over 15 years and is the only company holding my TV. Innovative features like SHIFT allow an additional variable to dial in your installation to perfection on a 4th axis. Everything you need is provided in the box, complete with QR codes for video instructions on installation and adjustment. It was quick and easy to install with all the proper tools. A drill, socket, level, measuring tape, and pencil were all I used to get operational in less than 15 minutes. I was upgrading a previous mount so I could use two pre-existing holes and then translate down to the new part of the bracket that did not have bolts. Overall, you cannot beat this mount; although some may come close, no one beats this mount with the addition of the fourth axis of adjustment. After installation, you can enjoy extensions up to 28 inches and as flush as 2.4 inches for effortlessly perfect viewing angles and adjustments. The only con for some may be the price! I promise you get what you pay for with mounts. Craftsmanship, innovation, ease of use, and materials make up the best mount, but the feeling you will get after the perfect installation is well worth it. This mount is made for DIYers or professionals who need to solve problems and those who measure twice before drilling and reading instructions. Design and Build Quality: The SANUS Elite Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV Mount is a premium option for those seeking versatility and durability in their TV mounting solution. The mount supports 42 to 90 inches, making it suitable for various room sizes and TV models. Its robust construction and sleek design ensure a secure hold and add a touch of modern elegance to any living space. Installation: The installation process is straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions and included hardware. The mount's components are well-organized and labeled, which simplifies the setup. Get a drill, measuring tape, and level; everything else you need is in the box. Even for those not particularly handy, the installation can be completed in under an hour. I was up and functional in less than 15 minutes since I already had a mount and was upgrading. With SHIFT, I could use two of the previous holes for streamlined installation. Adjustability and Features: One of the standout features of the SANUS Elite Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV Mount is its incredible adjustability. The mount allows for smooth, effortless movement in four dimensions: tilt, swivel, extend, and shift. This flexibility means you can easily find the perfect viewing angle, whether from a couch, a chair or even while standing. Move the party or game to where you are, and now you aren't confined to just one place. The extendable arm provides ample range, and the tilt function is handy for reducing glare from windows or lights. The SHIFT feature is another notable addition, allowing horizontal adjustments even after installation. This is particularly handy if you need to make minor corrections without removing the TV from the wall after upgrading a sound bar or TV. I used Shift to offset and successfully mount two different brands of TV in the same amount and was able to compensate for the VESA placement on the TV. Performance: In terms of performance, the SANUS Elite mount excels. It holds the TV securely, with no wobble, squeaks, or sag, even while fully extended to its maximum range. The smooth motion makes it easy to adjust the TV's position without effort, and the sturdy construction gives confidence that the TV is safe and secure. The TV gets flush to the wall about 2.5 inches, which is close giving this an extensive range of configurations. Value for Money: While the SANUS Elite Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV Mount is priced at a premium level, it offers excellent value for money. Combining high-quality materials, innovative features, and ease of use justifies the investment. It is a long-term solution that enhances the viewing experience and provides peace of mind with its secure mounting. Conclusion: The SANUS Elite Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT TV Mount is an outstanding choice for anyone looking to mount a large TV with maximum flexibility and ease.

This SANUS Elite wall mount (Model BLF528-B1) is a solid and hefty piece of equipment. I was surprised just how heavy this was – the shipping weight was 53 lbs. The installation of the wall mount is not difficult provided you have the right tools and know how to use them. While I have plenty of experience with DIY, this was the first TV wall mount I’ve installed. And I spent a good amount of time ensuring my stud finder was accurate. In fact, the first set of holes I drilled were unusable because the install screws would stop going in after 3/4 of the way. Of course, none of these issues is a result of SANUS, but the point is be prepared to potentially spend some time on this, including trips to the hardware store if you don’t have the right equipment. Or you could just have someone else do it for you. Once you’re ready to start, the included instructions are fairly straightforward. There is a little bit of trial and error, such as deciding which of the included screws should be used on your TV’s VESA holes. The instructions also have QR code links to videos that are worth watching, though they do not substitute for actually reading the instructions. There’s also a link to a calculator to help you determine how high from the floor the mount should be installed. I recommend viewing that calculator on a computer instead of a phone because it’s easy to make a mistake on the mobile version of that page. When you’re ready to attach the TV to the arm on the wall, I highly recommend having 3 people help, not 2 as the instructions show. The challenge here is that the TV bracket has a lip that must be hooked over an edge on the arm. The fastest and easiest way to do this is to have two people hoist the TV while a third person keeps the arms from swinging and guides the other two to the proper placement. My wife and I tried to do this ourselves, but the arm kept moving out of place, let alone that the TV was too heavy for my wife. Getting a neighbor to help solved the issue easily. What’s great about the mount is you don’t have to be super precise in its placement. After the TV is mounted, there is some wiggle room to lower/raise or tilt the TV as needed. You can also shift the TV left or right on the mount, but this requires taking the TV off the arm. For large or hard to reach TVs, you want to be as close as possible for its lateral installation. Most people are unlikely to move the TV around much once it’s set. But if you do need to, it’s a smooth movement that stays in place nicely wherever you need it to. The design includes a handle that stays tucked behind the TV to assist in swinging it around so you don’t have to smudge the TV or put pressure on the screen. If you’re doing a comparison of this model to others by SANUS, it’s a little bit like mattress shopping where everything sounds the same and is hard discern differences. That said, I have no trouble recommending this one with its quality build and function.

This thing is a beast. It’s massive, heavy and very sturdy. Made of some very heavy duty materials. It was easy to assemble, but I have an issue or two. My review is based on the fact that I have a specific need that I was hoping this would solve. One this is NOT made for over your fireplace. That’s what sold me on getting it and I am highly disappointed. This will not pull out and down over a fireplace. It states in its description that it is perfect for that area. It is not. A tv should never be placed over a fireplace unless you’re able to extend it down to eye level. You should not view a tv at such a height if it cannot adjust. It’s not good for your neck or back, unless you own a bar height couch. It also stated that it can go up and down 8 inches. Which when I first read the description, I did think that, that wasn’t a lot of room to come down over the fireplace but I figured I would still give it a shot. Well it is only a micro adjustment. 4” up and 4” down. Not even a full 8” in either direction. If you are looking for one that can fully extend down and over your fireplace, this isn’t it. My second issue is cord management. It has slots on both top sides of the arms to manage cords. But if you have tons of cords for different systems, such as games, Apple TVs, firesticks, Blu-ray players and sound systems to name a few…well your out of luck hiding those in the management area because each arm can only fit 1 cord. For a grand total of 2 cords. So unless you have an area already made for cord management behind your tv (thank goodness we do) hiding cords could be a nightmare for you if you aren’t handy to diy it behind your walls. It also extends fully out, so make sure you have the longest cords possible. To micro adjust the tv in either direction up or down seems to be a little tricky. Or should I say less than ideal. It isn’t as easy as using a lever or some easy slide function. You have to keep up with the included tool. Pull the tv out. Depending on size of tv and location, tilt to the side. Use the tool to ratchet it up or down and put everything back. All in all, if you have a tv that you consider an investment and want to secure it to the wall for life. Go with this. It’s a beast for sure and will keep your million dollar tv where it needs to be with no sag and fully extendable. Your house will fall before this thing does. However, if you’re like me and was sold on the fact that its description stated, “it was made for over the fireplace” and you expected something similar to the “over the fireplace Pull Down” mounts, skip this. I give the quality and overall durability of this unit a 5, but I have to give it a 3 overall because it didn’t fit my exact needs.

Since we moved into our home we only had floor lamps for the primary lighting in our living room and I always thought it was too dim. I finally put in recessed lights it was like removing sunglasses while indoors... but the then I came to the ugly realization that recessed lights glare badly onto the 65" TV on our console. We worked around it by always turning down the lights and using an ambient backlight but sometimes that isnt enough light. Some TVs can swivel at the base to angle it left or right which would be nice to be able to see the TV from our dining room or when sitting off to the other side of the living room. But my set is on fixed feet that I needed 2 elevate due to my soundbar. I finally decided get a wall mount. My requirements were that it was strong enough to hold up my expensive (to me) tv, can tilt and swivel. This Sanus Elite 4D Shift does all that and more. The whole package comes in a big box. Construction, fit and finish are all sturdy and appear well made instilling confidence to dangle my TV from the wall. Be prepared to call in reinforcements because my wife couldn't help me hold up the TV. Installing the mount took me about 40mins from bringing the box to my living room to hanging the TV on the wall. With the use of laser level (bubble level would work just as well) and stud finder, I figured out where I wanted to mount wall bracket and started busting some holes in the wall. A good impact driver will make short work of driving those lag bolts. I also put in an in-wall cable pass through down to the rear of our TV console to keep wires from being exposed along the exterior of the wall. The cable management routing in the arms kept the 3 wires I needed going to the back of my TV even tidier. Once my extra set of enlisted hands and I got the TV mounted, I couldn't be happier with how it turned out and how well the mount works and moves. Movements bringing it away from the wall swiveling it left and right and tilting it is all very fluid. TV doesn't jiggle when my kid is jumping around in front of it. I can fully extend the TV from the wall and easily see it from our dining room or can sit on any couch in our living room and have the TV facing me wherever I am sitting. The only thing that would make this more advanced is if it followed me on its own... although that sounds a little creepy. The best part of the wall mount is being able to slightly tilt it downward completely eliminated the recessed light glare! That alone makes the Sanus Elite worth the price. I realize there are less expensive mounts out there, but between the sturdy build quality, fluid movement, adjustability and wide range of motion I'd buy it again and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone with a larger TV looking 2 mount it on their wall.

Solid mount for my Samsung 77 inch TV. Easy to take advantage of the pull out and rotation features. It does tak two people to easily move it back flat to the wall, though.

This is by far and wide the best full motion TV mount that I’ve ever owned. My TV is a 77 inch LG C3 OLED and this mount holds it and maneuvers it like nothing I’ve ever used before. At almost 50 pounds this is the heaviest mount that I’ve ever used, however the weight is justified in order for it to properly accomplish the 4D movement of your TV. Mounting is very straightforward and if you’ve mounted any other TV mount, then this will be no different for you. You’ll need a stud finder, pencil, ratchet socket & drill-bit set. Due to the weight, you may need a second person to help hold the mount while you complete the mounting process. One drawback that I noticed is the cable management window is small and can only accommodate one to two cables going through it (power and HDMI cable) so you’ll need to plan accordingly to wire your system properly. I would also recommend practicing moving the TV mount a couple of times to get a feel for it before you put your TV on it. Once you get it mounted, you’ll find it almost effortless to move your TV. Adjusting the viewing angle and tilting is very simple and my 10-year-old had no problems moving the TV. All in all a great mount and well worth the cost!!

With a strong, quality build and features that give you confidence in its form and functionality, the Sanus Elite TV wall mount is a remarkable choice for hanging even the biggest of HDTVs. Right out of the box, you can tell this mount is crafted for style and utility. Its brushed black steel blends nicely with most TVs, while the mount itself is massively weighted and feels extremely durable. And although the unit is very heavy, installation can be a one-person job, depending on the size of your television and your comfort around simple tools and in finding wall studs. My 75" TV, on the other hand, needed an extra pair of hands to do it safely and properly. In all, installation through mounting setup took roughly an hour with a little help from my friend. The Sanus Elite mount is perfect for my entertainment area. With a television so big and a desire to open up the space below, this mount hits all the right notes. It has a cable manager that makes it easy to keep that clean look you desire with a wall-mounted TV. When pushed fully into the wall, the mount leaves as little room as possible to give the display a more decorative feel. When it is pulled out to utilize the different viewing angle possibilities, it is noticeably steady, even with the huge weight of the television and the mounting unit itself. The Sanus Elite doesn't shake or bounce, giving you all the confidence you want without having to think twice about it tilting or losing its position. I appreciate the solid, balanced feel when the TV is pulled out or pushed into starting position. Lastly, the TV can be adjusted on the fly while it is on the mount, so it isn't a pain to keep your screen centered and perfectly straight. This mount checks all the right boxes to clean up your television setup. It looks and feels clean and sturdy and can handle even the biggest flat screens. It provides a full range of viewing angles without sacrificing steadiness. Ultimately, you want a wall mount that you don't have to worry about, and the Sanus Elite full motion wall mount simply gives you the confidence to set it and forget it.
