I am mounting this with a Sanus Mount and need to know how far down from the top of the set the top mounting holes are. I am creating an arch over the set and need to know where to position the mount so the TV will be centered perfectly and don't want to take it out of the box just yet. I can tell the bracket will be on the wall slightly lower than the top of the set, but I need to be more precise than that.

Sorry, but I have no idea, as I have not wall mounted this TV. I would suggest that you contact Sony to get the exact dimensions that you need.

Go to the Sanus web site and it wil give you the dimensions for mounting to the wall based on your tv model and Sanus mount

How high does the top of the screen end up being, in your case? Maybe a better technicalt question would be how high is the lowest set of mounting holes? Then I could measure from the top of my tv to the bottom set of holes on the TV to find the total mounting height.

As far as i know, if the TV's weight does not exceed the maximum allowed, it's fine to mount TV off center on mounting plate. Make sure you secure TV mount to something secure like wall studs or concrete.

There's no lowest setting. The actual tv mount is on a slider that runs the length of the vertical portion of the stand, making it fully adjustable. You could place the mount anywhere on the stand

We felt it was too low according to the directions. We mounted the wall unit with the top at 36" from the floor and the bottom of the 50" TV and 48" above the floor. We have had ours installed about 2 months and find it a good arrangement.

A lil higher than middle of the back of the tv ..and not too close to the top ..you'll want to ensure you see just the reflection and glow of the light around the tv..and not any of the led's

I found that the mount will not sit next to the ceiling to hide the mounting bracket and you may have to side the t.v. to one side more than the other, why I don't know but may tilt to one side more I use a small line bubble level to get the t.v. to look even. And if you are wanting the t.v. to be straight up and down with the ceiling I think maybe you mean bar yes, but I found that if you are sitting or laying down to view than you may want to set the tilt to more of a 20 degree angle for better viewing. I hope this helps.Good luck

This is a mystery of science. Mechanical drawings show virtually no difference that I can see, but 410 is advertised for TVs 37-84 and 510 for 51-80. The actual drawing numbers from Sanus are different, usually indicating a truly different product. The limiting factor is the max width between the two vertical arms which attach to the back of the TV. Both are the same value, as well as max weight. Somehow the spec for the max distance to the wall is slightly different. I have two VLF410s, and it's considered the "do all" mount from Sanus. I've had no issues with the install or operation on a 40 and 50" unit, but I did buy a different one for a 65" plasma, which is close to the max weight for the 410. This is a mystery of science.

it depends on what the VESA size of your tv is? you can find this in your manual, or by measuring the disntance between the proper screws on the back of your tv. try checking this site for some tips on measuring. http://www.mountcenter.com/VESA-Mount-Standards-s/367.htm hope this helps

The mount is great. It pulls out to 26.5 inches. When you drill your holes in the wall, just make sure you use a level to make sure you are horizontal. When you attach the TV to the mount, you can move it horizontal along the mount to make sure it is level. If you have the TV to far to the left or the right it will be off center. You will like the mount. It is very flexible.

NOT CENTERED! Mount the unit 5 inches RIGHT of the center line where you want the TV centered... When collapsed the TV will than be centered. Aprox 13 inches will be LEFT of the center line. If needed secure a piece of 3/4" plywood to the studs you need to hit. Then bolt the unit to the plywood remembering you need 13 inches to the left of center.

If you are saying that the TV is on the wall, inside the bed, and you want to push the TV and mount against the wall when you are closing the bed up and will it stay collapsed?, then yes. Just remember the mount sticks out a minimum of 5" away from the wall without any tilt, then add the thickness of your screen then you would be able to figure if you have enough room. If you are talking about the mount being on the outside of the bed, like it would be under the bed when you pull it down, then NO, it would not stay collapsed. You could make a way to cover it or strap it so it would not open but it will not lock to the wall. Hope this helped! :) By the way, I LOVE this wall mount!

There are 4 screw holes (no screws, just one screw for the stand), but the viewing angle is not good on this TV. Mine was perhaps 20 inches above my bed on a shelf and it was too dark too watch (not totally, but too dark to truly enjoy). And it's too light from the top angle, so you would need to be level to watch a good picture. If you tilt the TV by placing something under the back of the stand then the screen will be ok. This is my first flat screen, so maybe all new flat TV screens have this issue. So much for improved technology. The TV also has a plastic strap thing, although I have no idea how to use it.

No, the center of the tv is roughly five inches to the right of the bracket center that connects to the stud in the wall. I wish I could provide a photo as I just took one of the bottom of my television with my smartphone. This is, of course, very important for people who need/want to mount their tv in a specific location.This became a bit of a problem for me since I wanted to attach one of those floating vertical shelf brackets for my blu-ray player, etc. directly and centered under the TV using the same stud. I can still do it using butterfly clamps through the drywall but that's not as secure as drilling through the stud in the wall (like I did for my tv).

Your tv may be too small for this application. You are capable of adjusting the brackets higher by using the lowest holes on the brackets to attach to your bottom mounting holes on your tv. If the brackets sticks up at the top, then your tv is definitely too small.

NO! To answer your question, when the mount is compressed the TV is not centered on the mounting stud. It is offset 5-6" to the left or right depending on how you have the mount compressed. I don't think the others answering this question understood it. If you extend the mount out a little, you can have it centered... but when FULLY COMPRESSED IT IS NOT CENTERED ON THE STUD. People should purchase the product before answering the question incorrectly.

I mounted mine less than 4" below the ceiling by cutting the down tube so that the holes in the tube were closer to the ceiling as far as the 28+" from ceiling to base, that would depend on the measurements of your tv. But you can raise your tv and mount to less than 4" by cutting the tube.
