Mounting Plasma Tv Above Fireplace

We purchased this TV mount to enable the TV to extend beyond the end of a fireplace. The TV is recessed in a pocket between the fireplace and a window. This mount allows us to telescope and turn the TV so all can see beyond the fireplace. I consider the unit exceptionally well-constructed and designed. The mounting kit contains a variety of fasteners to anchor the unit to the wall. In our case, we needed our own lag screws to secure the frame to the stud pattern on the wall. The unit is is rather ornery and cumbersome to install. Plan on two people to install. The mounting template works well. But it is important to measure the mounting slots in the unit's frame to ensure the one's chosen align with the wall stud's locations. I recommend using a level and drawing a centerline for the fasteners to follow. Pre-drill holes into the wall studs. I strongly recommend not mounting through the drywall with plastic expansion anchors. There will be a lot of bearing on a material that is not designed for long-term structural integrity. We use all of the mount's 40" extension. It certainly meets our needs.

I got this to mount my 55 TV above our fireplace. This mount is very sturdy and heavy duty and not light. It came with all of the mounting hardware which was a plus. The only modification I had to do was build some brackets to extend it out to the edge of the fireplace mantel. Otherwise the TV would have set to high for our room. Our issue, not the mount.

We purchased this TV for mounting over our fireplace in our new home and it is perfectly sized and high quality. We've truly ramped up movie nights and overall TV experience enjoyment at our house!

Just replacing my 15 yr old plasma flatscreen to a smart TV flatscreen to pick up streaming services. Used a Peerless ceiling mount bracket, which is a high quality, durable mount. Very happy to see even after 15 yrs they have kept compatibility to adapt a new TV to an old mounting bracket. This adapter covers a wide range of mounting patterns, is simple to use, and provides a solid, structural mount for the TV.

Had three old Panasonic 65 inch plasma TV's donated to an organization I volunteer for. There were two problems: - Weight of the TV was about 180 pounds - The TV had a mounting hole pattern that is no longer supported This bracket fit the needs and worked perfectly. Attached to drywall with steel studs, used the accessory mounting kit. Bracket and mounting was very secure and supported the TV's perfectly. I could have purchased these brackets directly from the manufacturer but they were more expensive that way.

Using it to mount my tv over a stone fireplace.

The best TV I have ever had. Even better than my old Pioneer Plasma - which is/was the gold standard.

Perfect length. We uses this for our tv above the fireplace. It was treaded though to cabinets on the side of the fireplace.

Above and beyond my expectations!!

its great it been on my wall since I got it and it does a great job holding my 55\ plasma TV"
