Mounting Tv Above Faux Stone Fireplace

Using it to mount my tv over a stone fireplace.

We have a very deep set wall bc of a massive stone fireplace that extends over 24” from wall in main living area We did NOT want to have TV in the mantle but the TV was not viewable for all in room if guests were watching sports with us This mounting allowed us to pull and pivot past the fireplace and still stow it back and out of sight when not in use. Fantastic !!

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!

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!!

I purchased the first VIZIO 65 in August for our Retreat and a second in October for mounting above the fireplace. We have a third VIZIO (older model) in the Guest Suite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We hung this Above fireplace As A Picture frame and TV all in one. The tv is amazing quality picture and being able to show off all this pictures on your phone on a classy picture frame is amazing. People are wowed by the tv.

Perfect for over the fireplace so the tv can be both lowered to eye level and swiveled to face seating.
