The wall I want to mount my 70" Sony is dry wall with metal beams. Will the mount plus the TV be too heavy for my wall?

It should be fine because it accommodates TVs weighing up to 120 lbs. It certainly holds my 65" TV with no problem. Sanus has real customer service so you can call them to confirm at 1-800-359-5520.

It comes with two different screws. I have wood studs and it holds my 55" with four screws into the studs. It also comes with another set for metal beams. Not sure how to mount them. It is meant to take the load of upto 84" TV. You just need to make sure the screws are drilled properly. I dont know how to do it on a metal beam.

I wouldn't do it. I have the same mount and on the inside cover of the manual on page 2 where it says caution: paragraph 4- "This product is not designed for use in metal stud walls" call the customer service number to be sure, they are very helpful.

I wouldn't install it on metal studs as is. I am in construction, and I would recommend cutting out the drywall out between the two studs you are planning on installing the tv mount at, and screwing 2x6 wood blocking between the metal studs, then mount the bracket on the wood blocking. Just make sure the cut is an even patch that hopefully won't show after the bracket is installed in case you can't tape the edges and repaint the wall.

I have this mount holding a 50" Sony that weights about 35lbs. the mount is bolted to the studs in my wall...two bolts. It handles the weight just fine moves very easily in all directions. Great mount the way i am using it. However, i would not mount any tv or anything else heavier than 5lbs to just the sheetrock. Don't risk it.

Mine is installed using only drywall anchors (100 lb), but I have my TV mounted to the wall above the unit, not standing on the unit. So the anchors only have to hold up the unit itself, and the devices I put on it. No issues so far.

My TV is 46" and I use the screws that were include in the wall mount and have no problem with it. It has been over six months with no problems.

Yes but be sure you use wall anchor hooks and are screwing into wall Joyce or beam when securing the mount to the wall. The mount has some resistance in the swing arm that will require you to pull with mild force when adjusting the tv amgle after mounting.

I mounted mine to a beam in drywall. I have a 42" tv and it works great. I wouldnt yank it around or anything but we never had a problem.

I've got a buddy and used this same kit for a 60 inch. He recommended going to Home Depot and purchasing the dry wall anchor bolts and adding this to help with the support. I'm not sure if you can purchase an extra wall plate. If that were the case you might want to look into getting a bigger mount all together. All in all you may need to slide the tv over one way or the other to hit the studs or find a new location. Hope this helps out.

I have no doubt that this mount would support the weight of your TV. BUT the product description lists 65" as the largest TV it is made to work with; I don't know if your 70" TV has a compatible mounting hole pattern. If it does, then this mount should work with it.

160lbs is said to be maximum but I wouldn't install a tv over 100lbs on inside wood walls but if your anchoring to concrete or brick over 100lbs up to said 160lbs maximum should hold. If your Emerson is heavier than that its time to buy a newer thinner tv. The mount also is said to fit 50" tvs so on the dimmentions you should be okay since Emerson uses vesa equivelent factory tv stands. Overall I would say yes it will hold judging on the weight of your tv should be under a 100lbs. Hope this will help.

I don't recommend it. Check the specifications to see the maximum weight recommended. You will probably be using the unit to hold a receiver or other components, and if you add the weight of the TV to that, it's probably more than the unit can hold. Of course, if you have a small TV, and no components, it could work. But don't risk the whole unit ripping out of the wall, with all your stuff crashing to the floor. I mounted my TV on the wall with a Cheetah mount, and it works and looks great. I keep the top of the unit completely clear, since there's plenty of room for your components on the lower shelves.

It should be fine, if not just mount a small piece of plywood on the wall and then mount the wall mount to that, use lag bolts if you have to go that route. Thats what I did and my 55 inch is holding just fine

I used a steel corner wall mount that I had from my previous tv. It was overkill as it will handle over 100 pounds. It is adjustable horizonally, vertically, tilt up and down, and in and out. It works great for our circumstance as I needed to have the adjustments to avoid a window. I hope that helps and you will love the tv itself as I am very impressed at the picture and even the sound.

I had no problems mounting my in-laws tv (SAMSUNG 51") to it and the wall. Seems fairly sturdy but I would recomend the lighter LED TV. I don't know the exact model of their TV....sorry

I have a new 80" Sharp LC-80LE757U which weighs 135.6 pounds. The wall mount in question claims a 165 pound rating. With a couple of lag bolts in at least 2 solid wall studs...in addition to the screws supplied, the mount is very well made and will hold the load.

I can understand you being nervous, I was also! I used this mount for a much smaller 42" LED TV and it worked out fine. Trying to hide the cables and power cord in the wall actually was much harder. Just make sure you have something very substantial that the lag screws that go into the wall can "bite" into or screw into. No way will ordinary drywall/wall board be able to hold the weight of a TV. If you can attach to the studs, or concrete block or brick behind the wall this mount can work. Good luck

I put this up on dry wall, but found studs to screw into. Depends on how heavy your tv is if you want to trust a drywall anchor or not. I'm not qualified to answer that.

Depends on the weight of the TV. But I wouldn't risk it. All wall mounts are really designed to use studs. Anything else is only as good as the wall anchor you use. I don't recommend doing it.
