    Good information to know before buying all the equipment I will need , for example I didn’t know I will need a stud finder and check for Vesa, thanks !

    I also had an odd VESA configuration (TCL 50 inch Roku TV--allegedly 300 x 200) which was off. I also found that flipping only one of the VERTICAL brackets instead enabled me to connect the bracket (so no horizontal brackets). Just be careful (with vertical ones) to level them first carefully before mounting.

    Similar issue here, but mine is 200x300 (not 300x200). Same solution, but the short crossbars must be spaced vertically instead and that did the trick. The second set of longer bars went unused. Note that the 200x300 solution offsets the center of the mount a little over 1 inch which is not a concern from weight distribution given these these as so light now, but it may be a consideration if you want to precisely center the TV between 2 near sides (such as over a Fireplace mantle)....as such the location of the mount bracket attachment to the wall would need to compensate for the offset. For me, it was not and issue given my TV location.

    I know this is two years after this was made, but in the instructions I have for this mount they have the picture showing it exactly how it is when you flipped it. They must've changed it in the last year or so

    Hey I bought the smaller size for my 32 in tv, used the screws that came w it, found the studs w the same finder you have, went to put my TV on the mount and it started to come out the wall...do you know how to fix it?

    • @MJAltairy
      @MJAltairy  2 роки тому +1

      That studfinder isn’t the most accurate. Check a few mm on both sides of the holes you already drilled to see if the stud is nearby. Or run the stud finder again and double check

      What size TV do you have? Also, there should be a “Vesa” number somewhere on the back of the TV. It reads “###x###”

    • @MJAltairy
      @MJAltairy  3 роки тому

      It all depends on the size of your TV and the VESA measurement. If it’s a direct fit, I’d assume you’re good to go.
