Planning to purchase this but my question is also about the rear mount... I want to utilize this to "center" the 50" Samsung we just bought. I have a mounting kit on order. For those who mounted your TV's, how it the mount attached? Do you drill...

My husband mounted the TV with a separate mounting kit. It's not a 50" but it is centered. He said that YES you do have to center the mounting kit and drill through the heavy wood back panel. It's designed for this. Hope this helps.

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.

Our TV is a 32 in. I took a quick look at the mount, 47 in. might be pushing it. It doesn't necessarily depend on the TV size as much as the distance between the slots on the back of the TV. Read the specs in your owners manual to find out what you need. For example, our TV requires a minimum of 420mm horizontally and 200mm vertically. That was the problem I kept running into with the smaller mounting kits.

Sorry this took so long. This mount is good for any TV that has a screen size of 37" to 60". The mounting arrangement will work for any of these TV's. There is mounting hardware included to attach the mount to the four mounting holes on the back of the TV. The wall mount is fully adjustable to center your TV on the space you choose. You may even attach the wall mount centered on the studs in the wall and then mount the TV off center of the wall mount so you can position the TV where you want it. It has tilt forward adjustments. It also has a swivel adjustment so you can level the TV on the mount so it is Parallel to the floor or ceiling.

I mounted Our 55" Samsung (no problem) and from working with the brackets that came, for mounting to TV, it seems they have all the bases covered. There is only a few different "bolt patterns" for flat screens. Mine is mounted to a brick wall, with the inserts they sent in the box, and it seems very secure, both to the wall and the TV. The brackets are very adjustable and We got just the right angle, horizontal and vertical, for Us to watch while sitting on the sofa, loveseat and recliner. I wish I had mounted it a little higher, maybe 56" instead of 48" to the center, the lower 1/3 of the screen is sometimes blocked by heads, when the Kids are setting on the floor.

Good morning T. Laurent! Recently, we purchased the TLC 32" TCL L32HDF11TA 32-Inch 720p 60 Hz LCD HDTV with 2-Year Warranty, Black and mounted it on a wall, but to save you from some of the headaches we had I thought I'd share the following. First, here is the wall mount we purchased: VideoSecu Tilt TV Wall Mount bracket for Most 32"- 55" LED LCD Plasma Flat Screen TV, MF607B 1QH This wall mount comes with a good variety of bolts 'n such for a variety of different televisions, however, none of them will fit into the back of the TCL, nor is there anything in TCL's single-sheet instructions informing you of what size of screws are needed. We first bought size 8 and 6 screws in both 3/4" and 1/2" as we were unsure what would work. The size 8 seemed to fit a bit better, however, while testing if it would go in okay, the screw snapped off flush! Oh no~!! It took a lot of time carefully drilling that little sucker out without messing up the threading. In any event, we finally got it out. (The size 6 was too small in diameter and would not grip the threading at all.) We finally ran into a very knowledgeable man at the hardware store who informed us that we probably needed a metric size screw, being the set is manufactured in China. He explained the difference in the pitch of the threading and so on. We no longer have the sales receipt from the metric screws we purchased, but I have an extra screw and it measures 1" long and is between the American size 6 and 8. I'm sure if you take this info to your hardware store, you'll find what you need, but you will definitely need metric. Also, we mounted this wall mount into a concrete wall, so we purchased extra lag bolts and anchors (that the bolts fit into once the hole is drilled) just to be sure it would stay put. We used 8 in all, which is probably overkill, but better safe than sorry, and it's rock solid. I hope this helps and I'm sure you'll love this TCL television. We love ours! God bless you and yours! Ellexis...

So the kit is recessed a bit but you shouldn't have any problem mounting it on the wall, even if it's flush. I just looked at mine again and the lower portion of the tv sticks out about half inch and the top camera back sticks out about the same and the SEK sticks out about that much as well so you'll be fine. Also, I only have used swivel mounts in the past so you are able to mount/dismount the tv with ease but other types might be more difficult. I hope this helps!

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).

It is a universal mount, so make sure your unit has the necessary screw ports. Shouldn't be a worry. It worked for my 55" Samsung

You will need to look at the back of your tv. There may be a removable panel. What you need to find is if there are 4 holes space 3" or 4" apart (as in, they will make a 3" or 4" square.) This would be located in the center of the backing - if you do not find any of these holes, then this mount will not work for you. Other than that you should consider the weight of the TV, this mount is rated up to ~30 lbs I believe. I have a 19" samsung currently mounted.

I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt. I originally used a bracket the was moveable, side to side-up and down. I did not feel it was secure enough because of the overall size of the TV itself. The solid mount works great for my needs as I really did not have any reason I needed to move the screen. In addition, if you go with anything but a flush mount the TV will be several inches away from the wall its mounted to too allow for clearance of the back of the swivel unit. Takes away from one of the TV best features in that its so thin. Good luck. I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt.

The mount screws directly into pre-existing holes in the back of the tv. There is some flexibility regarding where those holes are . Hope this helps.

Hey Gary - to be honest I'm not sure. I can tell you that the mounting kit came with a number of different mounting options. I had no trouble with my Samsung.

That is how we installed our's. Put a nice stained board up for stability & put the mount on it. When we fold the TV up to the ceiling we attatch a bungie cord across it incase we hit a hard bump just to be sure the clame doen not bounce loose. Seems to work great.

I'm sorry, we have not mounted the tv. I think when looking into buying the tv, amazon had some related items below that could also be considered, maybe a mounting kit is referenced there in that column

It worked on a 65" Samsung, but check to see if the width of the mount exceeds the width of the TV. This mount places some of the rear cable connectors very close to the wall so I recommend right angle coax and RCA connectors to prevent crushing the connectors, especially if you're angling it downward.

We did not see much problem with off angle viewing on our LN52A630, but we are within 60 degree of the centerline of the TV. I would suggest buying a stand or wall mount that pivots or extends out from the wall. But you have probably already thought of that. The wall mount was quite a challenge to install. First, the bracket has to be centered between two wall studs, which restricts the optimum position of the TV. Second, with the wall mount we bought, it was very hard to work backwards from the desired elevation of the TV to the proper location for the lag bolts holding the bracket on the wall. Third, because of the weight of the bracket and the TV, this is definitely a two-person job.
