UPDATE 3/7/2021: Zero issues..put it up and down daily and still works great. For the money, this is such a great buy (my total was $260.00 for mount with tax). I paid $99.00 for the monoprice mount (black friday deal). Monoprice is great for lowering the viewing height of tv but you need to do it manually AND when it is all the way down you can see the mount and my jacks for cables.
The big limiting factor with installation is the requirement for 16” on center stud spacing, the other limitations include weight of tv (77 lbs max…mine was 40.5 lbs), and size of TV (37”-70”…mine was a 65”). Please feel free to ask any questions you have in the comment section. Thank you for watching!

This is an amazing review with soooo much detail - thanks so much for posting!!
Hope it helps w your decision. Also did install video on same mount
Great overview Q! Love the clean look when it is down. Thanks for details on it!👍
When you are done flying around the country in your cirrus, put it on your to-do list!lol
@@how2q what's the furthest to go down?
Mounting the AppleTV between the frame and the TV, GENIUS !! “Why didn’t I think of that??l
Ha thanks for watching!
I wonder if you mount a smaller tv if you’d see the mount in the down position.
Can I use the drywall hooks only for installing the base?
Thanks for the overview. How loud is it when it's motor is running? Also, is there a manual option if, for example, the power goes out and you want to put it in the up position?
Motor is super quiet. Read “reviews” on amazon...from what i remember it is stuck without power. Although there has got to be a release if it gets stuck so you could put it back up
Great Video, thanks for sharing. What make the upper size limitation at 70"? Could I install a 77" that's only 46 lbs?
I would think so, as long as it fits the plate it will hang on. I have a 65” and it’s pretty close on each end so I’d check it, if you don’t already have it figured out after 4 months.
I understand your TV has to be 8 inches above the fireplace mantel. With that being said, when the TV is all the way up, what is the distance from bottom of mount to top of TV?
Sorry for the delayed response… The beauty of this mount, At least in my situation, is that it is “invisible” behind the tv when it is up. So the answer to your question: whatever the height of your TV is add 8 inches and that is how high it will be
Can you manually move the mount up/down in case if the motor dies?
I believe that is the one big critique…from my experience you cannot move it manually. I have now had this over a year with zero problems. A manual override would be nice.
Thanks for the videos. I have the MI-386 also, and I’m trying to figure out how to tilt it, can it be tilted more? It has some tilt but the bottom of our TV is about 6’ off the floor, when in the raised position. We have a raised hearth so think it increased the height. I don’t see how it can tilt just by looking at it. It has an odd looking screw that seems out of place, so may mess with it but I don’t see how it could tilt further. Other than tilting, I love it. Any tips is greatly appreciated. It’s still not that bad but tilting would be a home run for the mount. A manual override would be a great addition also. Thanks
I agree on option to tilt (or lack there of). I don’t believe you can. I see your point about the option to view while it is it in the app position. It would be nice. mine spends about 90% of the time it down. Still works great after two years.
@@how2q Thanks you for the quick reply. That’s good to hear. I keep seeing peeps saying theirs isn’t working but so far no issues. I went w the 65” as it was much lighter than the 70” I was looking at. Not being able to tilt isn’t a deal breaker and though less than perfect, when down is still much easier on the neck lol.
I’ve seen same comments on stop working but those are probably small exceptions. Still like the wow factor👍🏼
Is there a minimum height required from the mantle to the ceiling? Let's say TV height with soundbar (assuming its attached to bottom of TV with brackets) is 30.5 inches and mantle width is 8 inches and the space above fireplace to the ceiling is only 32inches. Will it fit and have enough clearance to come down?
Luckily this goes out and down. On a standard 8 ft wall height you will be fine. There is a soundbar attachment you can consider (link in video description). I have had this over a year and still works great
Could it have gone further down, had it not been for the mantle?
Whats nice about how this moves…it moves out more than down initially. No mantle? Definitely could have lowered
looks like the mono mount goes about 6 inches lower than the electric mount. js
I know this is a cool gadget to have but what would be the practical reason for it?
TV’s above fireplace’s are typically set too high. This allows you to electronically bring that viewing height down to what it should be. I love it
How’s the side to side turning on it?
Good i believe it moves left and right 15 degrees. We usually keep it straight but has plenty of left or right movement for our living room
Can't use this mount if you don't have any studs to drill into?
Unfortunately that is true. It’s pretty specific to have studs 16 inches apart. An option would be to put a 3/4” piece of wood between two studs and mount. Paint wood same color as wall
Does the mount swivel left to right electronically, or manually?
No just up and down. Hope that helps
@@how2q thanks. I saw the left and right arrows on the remote, that's why I asked.
Yeah found it funny they had those on there. Would be nice if it went left and right but we typically just leave it in one position. Still works great after a year.
blocking the sound bar, how much does that impact the overall sound?
I am not an audio file… That being said… I have noticed no difference In audio. There are aftermarket soundbar attachments out there.
@@how2q ok just wondering. My wife already tells me to turn the TV down when she's in bed. Thinking I might be cranking it up more to hear if it was blocked lol
@@themcdermottway6912 ur not first to ask about placement of soundbar i just have never noticed the difference probably because its the only way i’ve listened!
BTW…have had this setup two years…still favorite…no issues w motor
@@how2q nice planning on doing this later in the week. Thanks
Is there anyway to incorporate some kind of device so this can be used with Alexa? I'd like to have Alexa raise and lower it
Ha great idea but not available now. Mine just typically just stays in the down position
Been researching the last 2 weeks and I might’ve found a way I need to find out if the remote is RF/IR if it’s RF I need to find out the frequency
@@lightsoutmedia7370 would the frequency be listed on the remote?
@@adamaikens2190 I don’t have the slightest I’ve been trying to find it all evening it needs to be 433mhz I’ve seen ppl say it’s like 2.434 something to that effect
@@lightsoutmedia7370 yes it’s 2.4ghz , and Rf , we’re you able to find a universal remote for this ?
Changed batteries in remote now it won’t work. Any idea.
Outlet works?? Contact company could be remote.
From the ground floor to the bottom of the mount base in the wall- how many inches? Then when the TV is in the lowest position how many inches from ground floor to center of tv? Thanks I’m advance! This will be a bog help
So sorry for delay...there are so many variables with you question. No fireplaces are created equal. The mount is 63.5" from ground and the center of the screen when it is fully down is right at 59".
Hope that helps. I guess it does give you a good idea of how far down it articulates.
Has anyone seen an electric mount for bigger size TVs? I have an 86" tv mounted on my fireplace. The only option I could find is MantleMount which is $2,000 for the motorized option.
Wish i could help! 2,000...wow
Can you stop it coming all the down
Yes can stop anywhere between full up and full down
Great video! One question: doesn't having your sound bar behind the TV when it is lowered negative impact the sound quality? Is is possible to mount the sound bar at the bottom of the TV so that it moves with it?
Sorry for late reply! I wanted to get a chance to look up your question online. Yes, VIVO, maker of this mount, has a bracket to allow soundbar to travel with TV...this is an amazon link.
