SlingPlayer performance? Also mounting this (or another small computer) to a Wall Mounted TV? Does anyone have experience with mounting a computer with a VESA mount to the back of a TV that is mounted to the wall?

Hi I am looking for the same solution. I want to mount a slingbox 500 to the wall or back of wall mounted TV. THanks..

There is no VESA compliant mount on the back of the monitor that I recall. There would need to be some type of adapter bracket to mount this model.

HI, the slingbox is a great time.... I used the Slingbox when I was in Paris.... I watch the first round of the NBA finals in a Broadway theater... Just during intermittion..... Is it like being a home?.... NO.... Is it a great substitute!... Yes.... The slingbox reception all start with your home.... the faster the internet the better reception on the other end... You can call Slingbox's tech support.... they are very helpful... lot of luck....

I have an articulating mount from that seller for another tv I own, it works perfectly and it's well made. I sure wish all tv mfrs. would adopt & conform to a stanfard such as VESA, life could be a bit simpler, not to mention the fact that mount prices would drop to more realistic levels.

I'm not exactly sure how to answer this but the total mount actually comes with several different clip mounts that can be easily for the best setup regarding your tv's design configuration. I ended up just mounting to the wall BEHIND my tv as it keeps both the appletv and my vizio from being exposed to unnecessary heating. It works perfectly too. Very happy with it and the low price point definitely getting one for my 60" next

If you are connecting to a "monitor" with standard VESA mounts, everything you need is included. If you are connecting to a TV, larger than about 32", then you will probably have to find an adaptor to a VESA mount FOR THE TV! I've actually just screwed the included VESA mount to the wall and it works for me, but it depends on your situation. I'm installing this as a video conferencing unit with 55" to 60" TVs, which do not have standard VESA mounts on the back.

We mounted the 70" to the wall with no problem. It only weighed about 70 lbs. No specific wall mount was required. We bought one on Amazon for about $35 that had several vesa configurations. This TV was 200 VESA. Just make sure it is only a tilt mount not the full-movement kind.

Usually, you do not use the arms at all. Those are for unusual TVs. Just about all the flat screen TVs, especially a 40" Samsung, will have "VESA" holes, and just line up with the plate you see the arms hanging off of. You simply leave the arms in the box, put the plate on the back of your TV, screw it on, and then it slides onto the arm. I was given one of these very mounts for Vine and I really like it. It's strong and articulates. I wish they would leave the arms off the photo, as it confuses folks and usually aren't used.

If this device will not provide high quality images from my laptop to my older (but wide screen) TV, what device would you recommend? I would like to play movies and stream video from my laptop through my TV. Thanks!!!

We use four. HD for a DVR. TV, computer, and one which connects to our modem to the AC house current. Having checked our internet connection speeds with a wireless laptop vs the desk computer the downloads and uploads are comparable. The Sling connection "finds" the Inet faster.

C. Ady is 100% correct. If you don't have anything else than the DLNA functions are serviceable. From a complete product. I purchased a 850 Samsung in part for the DLNA feature. Your better off getting a Slingbox.

Yeah, I waited for months and finally pulled the trigger when it was that low. It's back up to 2350.00 now. On the last post I meant to say it jumped from 2144.99 to 2299.99 not 2999.99. I didn't mount it but I have it on my dvd/boxset cabinet and thanks to its wide base and it being fairly light (especially for the size) it works well. There are tons of wall mounts out there but most just say fits any LCD 32"-50" or something like that. I have never mounted a tv so I wouldn't be able to help you but just google it and you should find recommendations.

Since I don't have a sling box, I'm not sure. However, hooking it up to my computer and then to other USB supported pieces of equipment; it worked fine.

I'm thinking this won't work since the remote you use for a Slingbox is virtual (you click on it with your mouse). Since your TV isn't hooked up to a computer anymore, you won't be able to control the channels, much less get the connection to Slingbox even started.

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.

I would not recommend it with this model. I have a 37 in Visio on mine, in the exercise room, and never move the tv. This mount is just too small. Look at the dimensions and compare with other Cheetah mounts. Spend a few extra $$ and get the APDAM2B.

If VESA mountable is like mounting a TV on the wall, the answer is no. It has a U shape leg on the rear which allows it to sit on a table.I love mine.
