could this be used vertically instead of horizontally? I'd like to extend my 37" flat panel TV from the floor upwards to view when needed.

Not sure but you would not be able to swivel left to right or right to left even if the TV would mount vertically. There are other mounts available to specifically mount to raise and lower

I'm not sure if the holes for mounting the TV to the mount would align correctly. Also. It does lock in to the extended position, but if you weren't paying attention and moved the lever to lower it, it would just fall straight down. There is no spring assist to keep it from crashing down.

I bought this stand specifically to raise my 39" vizio flat screen so that I can put my blu-ray player underneath... It supports my TV just fine! It comes with adjustable legs for different height. Its a space saver. Its pretty strong. Not flimsy or cheap. Hope this helps!

Sorry, not sure. It was a gift purchase. I know that the person I got if for really liked it. It can be used both horizontally and vertically. Good luck.

I think it would work vertically. My husband wanted it horizontally and that is what works for our kitchen/cabinet layout.

I would think so, You might have to be creative in the installation, but this is a very "logical" product and we are very happy with it. Our windows go vertically.

There is a lot of adjustment available with the mount. My current setup has the bottom of the TV screen at 32" from the floor. I'm able to adjust the mount to have it higher or lower than that however.

I have it hung vertically and it works great. If you want to see it working, I'll be posting pictures when I post my review (I'll post it in the next couple days).

We were trying to do it in a corner and were not able to do so with the size of the TV we had. I am sure it can be done, however you will need to take into account the size of the TV you are dealing with. Hope this helps!

I have it mounted horizontally, can't remember if it could be turned vertically.

It will only be super stable horizontally. But using the Velcro they include and maybe an additional piece, you can definitely macgyver it to work vertically.

Yes. Mine is at the highest setting. The top of the 37" TV is at about 50 inches from the floor. It looks like I could move it down only about 6" then it would be at its lowest point.

Yes you do have some flexibility to move it slightly to the right or left and as said in other responses you can also adjust the vertical. On the vertical portion, the tv adjusted itself. We have trains going by so the vibration possibly adjusted it for us. As for the horizontal portion, once it on the wall, you will need a really long screwdriver to loosen and tighten the screws. Sorry can't remember if it is a regular or Phillips screwdriver.

I wouldn't. This thing is heavy by itself, plus the TV. Can you screw some 2x4s horizontally to some nearby studs for mounting?

I would not use this on a vertical surface. Its main purpose is for hanging something heavy from a ceiling.

I would say definitely yes to that, but the unit will be much more narrow than your flat screen as an fyi, I'm sure. Also, place something heavy on the bottom shelves to further stabilize the unit.

Not really. It is not telescopic like the vertical pole...this is probably because if it expanded horizontally it could be put off balance and perhaps fall over if not used anchored. If you anchor securely you might be able to rig your own form of extension.

Hmmm, you would have to create some type of makeshift way to do it. The feet of the unit have slots, apparently for wall hanging, although that would be awkward and the unit would be upside down. If your TV is hanging on a wall bracket, you may be able to install a shelf above or below it. I did that with my television and was able to use L brackets and mount the shelf directly to the top of the TV bracket.
