VIVO TV Wall Mount for 40-70 in Screens, Holds 66 lbs

I needed a heavy-duty flat-screen mount with a slightly-unusual range of motion. But it didn't appear that most - or at times, ANY mounts were available for my specific needs. Not only is this VIVO mount THE ONE, but - after using it for a couple of weeks, we're really happy with this one. I needed a mount which would work for a 50" screen, but would allow it to pull out from under a built-in cabinet and then cantilever the screen UP. Most mounts can't do this. But this VIVO cantilever mount has that range of motion, AND the ability to handle a screen this size (a Samsung which weighs just under 30 pounds.) Really easy to install, but in our case it was particularly easy as my home is a solid cedar log home. So - just carefully measured precisely where I'd need it for optimal clearance, bolted it in and that was that. It's strong, there's no give, it's clearly well-engineered and constructed - and after making tension adjustments, even my son and wife can easily manipulate it. Up, down, in - or back under the cabinet - and pivoting to optimal side-to-side angles for viewing from whatever seat in the room requires it, all easily done. All in all, I'm really REALLY pleased with this mount. And - it was very reasonably priced, too! Here's to happy viewing...my long search for the mount that would do all I needed ended VERY well. Bravo VIVO!

Bought this amount for 50 inch TV in my RV as there’s very limited places to mount it and you’re adjustability up and down on this and weight adjustability is absolutely amazing love this amount I can aim it anywhere. I want in the RV and then even turn it around and set it on the bed so that if I’m ever driving the RV, it is not putting any stress on the TV or the mount or the wall.

Overall, this mount accomplishes exactly what I wanted it to -- wall-mounting a 43" TV in my home office to use primarily as a computer monitor. It provides approx. 13" of vertical adjustment, which is helpful for accommodating a variety of desk/chair/person combinations, as well as providing the flexibility to install a larger display down the road without having to move the position of the wall mount. The adjustable gas spring makes moving the display easy (43" TCL TV which weighs just under 17lbs, 100x100 vesa), and it's turned down to maybe 1/4 of the adjustment range. Make sure you read the minimum display weights for the models of arms to ensure you're getting the right one (I had to pick the smaller option). Otherwise, it's a nice painted metal, seems durable, and is relatively easy to install. For those who are curious, the "center" of the vertical range of the mount roughly lines up with the top mounting hole on the wallplate -- I couldn't find any diagrams in the instructions on how to calculate this (for positioning the plate on the wall), and it's a little tough to gauge since the spring will keep the arm in it's full "up" position without weight on it. The biggest reason I knocked off a star is that the mount arm does twist/flex a bit with the display loaded on it. It's in no way in danger of breaking/falling, but it can make it difficult to align the display, especially with large monitors/TVs. This means you'll probably spend a good bit of time trying to get the display leveled properly for your desired positioning. You almost have to "pre-load" the bracket/mount before you tighten everything down -- but it is all easy enough to adjust and gives you plenty of wiggle room to straighten things up. Just have a bit of patience and you should be fine. The only other "gotcha" I'll mention is that the 2 arms (on either side of the joint) are not equal lengths -- this means with the arm fully collapsed against the wall, the display will be "off-center" (horizontally) by a couple inches in either direction. This isn't a fault, necessarily, but just a consideration you might need to consider with the product design.

We used this mount to place a 32" TV inside a built-in cabinet next to our fireplace. This is our formal living room and we didn't want a big TV sitting around, so we decided to hide it in the cabinet. I found this idea online and decided that for the small investment, it would be worth the effort (please note, we are having an electrical outlet installed inside the cabinet). Despite some of the horror stories in previous reviews, I decided to take the chance on this device. I was a bit of a challenge locating the studs behind the solid, 1" thick, wood paneling, but I was finally successful. The main mounting screws were a bit of a bear to screw in, but that is the purpose of a solid connection. I was fortunate in that the main, flat mounting plate for the TV fit our little TV perfectly and I did not have to add the extension. After that, the installation went very smoothly. It was a bit of a balancing act to get the TV to sit level, but I was successful. I highly suggest looking at the instructions prior to installation; perusing the other reviewer's comments for insights/tricks; and watching any video tutorials. This device really did the trick for us - good luck!

Excellent product. Work perfectly as a single-stud mount, and tuning the screw for the pneumatic lift was simple, a perfectly engineered product! Different heights shown in pictures.

The product is a good concept. I read other reviews with the primary criticism being the tightening screw was problematic but workable. For example, one review said they had to turn the screw over 40 times and another review said they had to turn the screw for 10 minutes. This obviously is a significant design flaw. But the overall value of the product seemed worth this inconvenience. When I received the product I was not able to get the allen wrench into the tightening/loosening screw. After many attempts and using my own allen wrench set (to see if I could find a better fit) I tried to contact customer support. This was very difficult because the box and instructions leave no contact information or website. I found the website on my own and attempted to reach customer support. They give you three ways to contact them; 1) a phone number from Europe (I think England); 2) an email; 3) a customer chat line. I tried the chat line on two different days and used the hours for Europe and East Coast US timezone...never getting a response. I sent an email and got a response about 12 hours later. That email had a customer support number. But when I called it I got no reply despite multiple calls. The email person was pleasant but not very helpful. He asked me to send him a picture of the product, even after I gave him the model number, he did not apparently know the product. After multiple emails he suggested I force the allen wrench into the hole. I used a hammer and tapped it into the tightening hole. This worked to get the allen wrench in the hole. But then turning the screw was extremely difficult. I had to use a wrench to turn it clockwise. After about 10 to 15 turns the arm did not loosen and I was still not able to turn the screw without the use of the wrench. At that point I had enough and returned the product. While the concept is good, this product has a serious design flaw that seemed to be magnified in this case. The customer support person was pleasant but too hard to reach and not very helpful.

Disappointed because the vertical motion wont work. Two reasons why I order ed this unit; a. good price compared to Omnimount which is close to $200; b. Customer Care (Manufacturer responses for Customer Questions). I bought it for mounting above the fire place. I tried mounting in my basement first because I didn't want to mess up the fire place with holes. Fortunately/unfortunately I found the vertical motion wont work no matter how much I adjust the gas spring screw with allen key provided as mentioned in the manual. May be the my order was a bad unit. Returning it but will order another. I will update the review once I get the second unit and if the unit is good. Edited------ Third time's a charm. The Vivo customer service contacted me and gave me some instructions. Looked like the product was defective for two times. I contacted the customer service and gave my TV weight info and they sent me a replacement item tested and calibrated for my TV weight. Fixed my tv and worked great. Will upload the picture soon. The best part is Vivo's customer service.

Mixed feelings about this mount. Pros: solid feeling and flexible Vesa options, love having multiple directions of adjustability. Cons: During mounting, you have to be aware that mounting anchor point is NOT the center of your TV. My TV's vesa holes are not centered behind the TV (they sit on the lower half), so this could also throw off your alignment a bit, as does the fact that when folded, the arm's mounting plate isn't centered in front of the anchor point... so overall, figuring out the right place to mount is a bit of a challenge if you want your TV centered in a specific spot, and I wish they could somehow make this easier to figure out. More annoying is the fact that the tiny bubble level they provide doesn't sit flat near the arm's mounting plate (where the instructions tell you to place it) because there's a rounded screw sitting right in front of that spot, and the edge of the level rests on that screw. So you'll find that as you slide the level left or right by a few millimeters, the level reading changes as it rubs up against this rounded screw. Yeah, super annoying. As if leveling this thing wasn't hard enough... and mind you, if you get it wrong and mount a large TV, it'll be OBVIOUS that it's not straight. But here's the kicker... I checked, rechecked, triple and quadruple checked, and then repeated the process in various ways with my other levels. Once I was sure it was straight, I completed the mount's installation. Then I mounted the TV... and it was STILL CROOKED!!!!! Here's what I discovered. I have a 55 inch, 32lb TV. Depending on how the arm is folded and elevated (left/right, up/down), the TV will tilt one way or the other (counterclockwise or clockwise). Meaning, it doesn't matter how straight your mount is... as you move the TV, the sheer size and weight will make it tip left or right. What I noticed on the back (near where the mount attaches to the TV) is that the mechanism that allows you till tilt or turn your TV at various angles has a pin and pivot mechanism that has a bit of give to it. Meaning, it wobbles a tiny bit. You can tell by just standing behind your TV with the arm extended, and then tilting or swiveling the TV... look at the mechanism... notice how the gaps between the metals plates here change spacing? Yeah, that appears to be why the TV rarely sits perfectly straight. I saw somewhere that there's like a +/- 3 degree tolerance or adjustment here (not sure which)... if it's adjustment, I don't really know which bolt/screw to tighten yet. If it's simply tolerance, then that sucks (because a 55 inch TV has a long enough top and bottom edge to make those 3 degrees painfully obvious that it's not straight).

This TV mount is excellent. I know a lot of people claim it's hard to set up, but I had it all done in under a half an hour. It was the easiest mount I've ever done actually. It moves in every direction. Perfect if you need different viewing angles or to store against the wall. I installed it in my RV so the TV would sit against the kitchen island and it of the way when not in use, but I could pull it out and up to give a great viewing angle.

El soporte es excelente. La relación precio-calidad es la mejor. Los materiales son de buena calidad. Cumple con las especificaciones descritas.

So far so good. Holds the 50 inch TV pretty well. Can be fiddly to adjust position exactly as you want. But makes changing TV position very easy.

This looked to be the perfect wall mount for over my fireplace. Unfortunately it took forever to install only to find out the spring in the arm is defective. What a pain!! I have to uninstall it now and return it, which will be another challenge to remove. I was recommended another model by the manufacturer, only to find out it's out of stock until the end of June!!! Not impressed.

Returned this after I adjusted the tension to the minimum and still could not get it to move, it says from 40 inch tv but my one must have been faulty as there was too much spring tension there were also no instructions , the return process was strange as it Was delivered without any packaging but had to be returned in a box , but apart from that it was straightforward.
