This is amazing, it’s weight ‘ strong. Very sturdy & plenty of grip. Lots of hols to secure it properly. It’s performance allows tilt & turn. Such a good gadget for our 85″ tv.
We have a65 inch tv and this was perfect to take the weight and have it on the wall. Instructions were well explained and easy to follow. Easy to get behind the tv as it Pulls right out for easy access. Very please
Perfect for our new heavy Sky Glass TV absolutely love the swivel and tilt. Comes with a full range of bolts to suit your TV. Only minor downside was instructions could be slightly better, but once we worked it out it was totally worth it once up. Mega sturdy and superb quality. Will buy again for other rooms.
Strong solid bracket that is currently holding a 65″ TV! The plastic pieces behind in which you can hold the wires are ok but they feel flimsy. Probably over priced for what it is and not worth more than 35. TV can be tilted slightly but not much, does pull out a decent distance if your TV is in between some deep units.
This is my second Invision wall bracket. I left the first one in my previous home and now I installed the second one. It takes a while to mount it properly, also, I had a bit of a challenge with mounting between the fireplace and a wall. It’s 100% worth the money. Sturdy, solid with an amazing range of motion.
Really good bracket, bought while discounted on prime day. Means I can pull my tv from the wall, I have an ambilight tv so was perfect for my needs.
So good I ordered another for a second tv I have, you won’t be dissapointed with the quality or how easy it is to put up.
I would advise using a professional to install.All fittings are supplied and should only be fitted to a solid wall not plaster board.
Once installed into brick the bracket is solid and top quality. Another great Amazon price and purchase.
Really strong TV bracket. Bought this to go in a media wall that I’m having built and it’s just what I wanted. TV feels really secure on the bracket and can be moved in and out of its housing easily. Highly recommend.
Have used this before so I ordered it again and it does not disappoint. Had to use longer screws this time due to a gap between plasterboard and brick wall but just as solid as last time. Highly recommend
I was looking for a good quality TV mount for my 65 inch Oled TV, and hit the jackpot with this one.
There’s loads of adjustment with this bracket, it’s hard to actually put it up wonky! If you do there’s a little adjustment to level the bracket out.
The TV can pull out a fair distance from the wall which is great for getting behind such a big TV, and also for viewing angles around the room, it includes a tilt function. When the TV is pushed back into position, again its got an easy mechanism and almost folds flat to the wall.
I also used one of these as a replacement for my sisters bracket which cost 4 times more and was awful. She’s been thrilled to bits with this, as have I.
Excellent value
Whilst this is a good bracket i had to change the fixing sites on the rails that attach to the rear of the tv for attaching to the wall bracket. This item was supposed to be compliant with the tv but it did not align without covering a socket outlet site on the rear of the tv. However it is a very robust and versatile wall bracket. It has great movement from left to right of centre and will tilt if required. It does not sag under the weight of the tv when it is extended fully out to about 20″. It is well worth the price and is straight forward enough to fix to the wall.
Ive installed loads of these for my job. its a go too for a heavy weight TV. It stays level and has a good range. it fits every large TV.
Its down sides are its a little stiff for moving if you intend to move it frequently and the wall fixing bolts it comes with you shouldnt use, buts thats the same with most brackets. the alternative bracket would be the sanus for smooth motion, but that costs alot more.
This is a solid mount with a a good degree of adjustment for awkward brick walls where it is impossible to get the screw holes exactly level. It was very well packaged, well designed and manufactured and came with lots of ‘extra bits’ to fine-tune the mounting. Very happy with this product, would definitely buy again.
Very steady bracket, easier to assemble and attach to the wall. TV looks great and is fully adjustable due to the bracket. Plus a great price compared to the brackets we were looking at.
The TV bracket is very sturdy and well made. It feels like it could hold a very large and heavy TV with no problem at all. The range of movement is adequate for most purpose’s. The method of containment for wires is very neat and practical
Excellent wall bracket, using it with a 55″ OLED and no worries.
The range of motion surprised me, it can extend and turn an incredible amount.
Really easy to install – I’m terrible at DIY but this was simple.
Very well made and sturdy too.
Powder coating paint is very well done and looks great and that’s before you mount a TV on it.
5*, so much better than other mounts I’ve bought in the past.
Bought this 3 years ago and it worked great. Then moved home and had it lying in a damp basement for a year – no rust and still moving well. It’s almost miraculous. I lost my screws/bolts etc and contacted invision. They immediately replied and sent me replacement parts at no cost.
Exemplary. Happy 5 stars!
So solid you can swing on it. Perfect adjustment also. I’ve recommend this 3 times already.
This TV bracket is fantastic. Now it definitely requires at least two (or three in my case) people to put it together, and it can seem quite complicated at first to put together. But we managed, so anyone else can, it would be nice if they sent instructions with the package, instead you have to find the pdf in the order, which isn’t a huge problem.
You can have the TV pretty far from the wall, as well as swivel it horizontally or vertically how you please which is great. Having the TV be whatever distance you want from the wall is a great thing for those that have an Ambilight TV like myself, or just LED light strips behind their TV, as you can change the TV distance from the wall, forward or back enhancing the colour displayed on the wall to your liking, it makes a huge difference.
All in all, fantastic TV bracket, have had it for almost a month now and it’s been brilliant.
Heavy duty wall tv mount, very good quality, easy to fit , and good rotatio
Fixing it was a bit fiddly, even by my builder. Have noticed over time that my TV is often falling from the required position and I am often re-adjusting it. I did check the weight of TV will work with this particular item, but it is still doing it. Otherwise, all good.
I bought one of these some months ago for myself and had no hesitation on a repeat order for a relative. The fixings are large enough and – crucially – sufficiently far apart vertically and horizontally to tolerate the large TV cantilevered into the room. Fine adjustments allow for not-quite-perfectly drilled walls and cable management is well thought through too.
Thoroughly recommended.
Brilliant item. Couldn’t be happier. Super sturdy and easy to install. Low profile, as described. The plastic clip on panels/cable tidiers are a phenomenal feature too. Also, I’m using this with a 65 inch TV on a stud wall. Very highly recommended.
I’m not usually one for writing reviews, but the quality of this stand for the price is brilliant. It’s also very well made and easy to set up on top of having a wide variety of TVs it fits. Highly recommend.
The bracket is very strong and has great range of movement too. I fitted it today and was all pretty straight forward except the wall mounting section. I used a new 10mm drill as instructed and on fitting the bolts the red rawlplugs just spun in the holes. A 10mm masonry bit is too small to allow the rawlplug to sink in beyond the plaster. A minor increase in hole dimension allows the plug in but then spins whilst trying to tighten the bolts. Several fitting later I managed to get 4 of the 6 bolts to tighten correctly. This is a poor start and the average person would have struggled to get this far. Maybe a better rawlplug should be supplied that fits without the hassle please! Had this worked as instructed a 5 would have been applied to your rating.
It goes without saying that this mount definitely needs to be mounted into a solid masonry wall for large TVs and definitely if you’re going to have the mount’s arms out.
As decent as the included fixtures looked, I’d always use something reputable and uprated to be 100% sure. I opted to use M10 Stainless Steel Coach Bolts (80mm long) coupled with Fischer Nylon SX High Performance 12mm x 60mm wall plugs (used Toolstation for both). Anything more expensive isn’t really required. Otherwise, ensure your 12mm holes haven’t had any wobble – you’ll know about it when you come to torq up the bolts.
Depending on the masonry I’d use my 12mm Bosch Multi Construction bit (8mm first for a pilot through the mount’s holes for accuracy and then expand to 12mm), or for anything concrete my Milwaukee SDS bits with a decent hammer drill, 8mm first then 12mm. Without giving an exact guide if you’ve never mounted something heavy-duty on a wall before, call a tradesman in to do it! I make 6 holes to attach. If hitting mortar you may want to abandon that position. The mount is forgiving rotation-wise, doesn’t have to be exactly level – just ensure you have your height and width calculated by laying the TV face down, and positioning the mount to make the necessary measurements top/bottom and side.
Nothing more to say other than everywhere I have set this mount up for clients, the TVs are still hanging! At one client the TV is right out at full stretch distance. It is in these scenarios that you need to ensure the mount is coach bolted in firmly with thick bolts and proper wallplugs.
A five star mount moreso for it’s price!
Considered many brackets but found this option, upon further research, I noticed that it had some good press in “What Hi-Fi” so realised it must be a serious piece of kit to get such a good review.
Upon opening, you realise straight away that this is quality, the weight and build of the bracket instantly fill you with confidence, and let’s be honest, most people need to feel comfortable when they are trusting a bracket with the considered purchase of a TV.
You get detailed instructions, all the necessary fixings, including a small magnetic spirit level, with varying mounting screw options for the TV, as well as an HDMI cable, albeit, this wasn’t necessary and probably only useful if you are desperate for such a cable and do not need a 4K capable version.
The bracket is relatively straight forward to put up, I did not need any assistance and managed to mount alone in around 30 minutes, although this did include plenty of time to read the instructions thoroughly and get all the necessary tools ready and to hand. Upon installation I did leave for a few hours to make sure everything had settled, again no need to risk anything when mounting something of significant value. I mounted this on to a solid brick wall with plaster, so made sure any fixings were set behind the plaster and well in to the brick to make sure there was no movement and had the most solid base possible.
Decided to test the bracket by placing the majority of my weight on the bracket by pulling down on it, bracket capable of holding a TV up to 70″ and 50kg, so by testing with body weight, albeit not fully, I could make sure everything was fine.
Mounted TV, and then spent some time making sure everything level, a bit of a perfectionist so did take some time, options for levelling TV on bracket, so even if you have mounted the bracket slightly off level you can adjust TV accordingly and all is not lost, with bracket behind TV you would not be able to tell anyway. Final adjustment was to decide on tilt angle and tighten all relevant screws, decided to go relatively straight with regards to tilt, but the bracket does allow for a small tilt upwards (towards the ceiling) and quite a good range down, if it was mounted higher, for example.
Extremely happy with this product, excellent quality, brilliant range of motion, especially as it is holding a weighty 65″ TV, looks good behind the TV also and we can now move the TV to view if we are in the dining room or move the other way if we are sat out on the deck.
Would highly recommend, and given that other brackets from more reputable / well known brands that are easily double the money and upwards, I would look no further.
I can see why What Hi-Fi recommended this product, it really is excellent, buy this if you need a sturdy and manoeuvrable bracket, has the flexibility you may never even use, but available should you ever require it!
Bought the HDTV-DXL double arm bracket. We found it super-easy to fit to the back of the TV thanks to all the spacers and bolt types.
We have ‘DOT AND DAB’ plasterboard walls (no studs).
The TV needed to be centred on the wall, while positioned with enough distance from the plug sockets but allowing accessibility with the bracket in situ. Yep, quite a bit of measuring, tapping and head-scratching was indeed involved.
We located the solid wall parts (by tapping to find the ‘dot’ – or ‘dab’, whatever its name is…), checked for electric cables, and marked it all up. Drilled 2 holes in the ‘dab’ (is it a ‘dot’? still don’t know…) and 2 in the hollow and through to the breeze block behind the cavity. We didn’t drill the fixing in the middle of the vertical centre bar because it would have gone through the radiator pipes (see image, our radiator pipes go up in the centre, rather than the sides of the radiators as is the case in older installations).
Needless to say that none of the wall screws/rawplugs supplied were actually used. We ALWAYS use RIGIFIX fixings, which are designed for plasterboard>cavity>solid walls. They bridge the cavity gap with a metal sleeve and provide the strongest support, plus they can also be used in a normal solid wall, or the dot/dab (for goodness sake, someone tell me what to call the damn thing… lol) in our case.
TV mount positioned in its slotted support, then bolts attached after levelling the TV.
We discovered a rattle noise in the slotted support when swivelling or tilting the TV so I pushed in a bit of thin felt in the tiny gap and solved that minor (but irritating) issue. The TV is beautifully centred and totally level (thank you Invision, for the mini spirit level provided!)
It feels rock solid, doesn’t wobble in the slightest and swivels very smoothly and without undue force (you’ll need to adjust the bolts tightness to achieve the same smooth action).
In the end, my wall sockets ended up being annoyingly visible above the TV. Absolutely gutted!
However, Invision’s Customer Support came to the rescue by making a rather simple suggestion. We simply had to re-attach the TV mount using holes higher up along the vertical bars and then, like magic, no more visible sockets!
Absolutely delighted. I recommend this bracket, and Invision, without a moment’s hesitation.
I looked at the One 4 All which is impressive but at 350 + , ridiculously priced . After several Google searches I noticed this bracket came up on them all, reading the reviews on Amazon I ordered .
I am very very pleased I did ! It arrived promptly and after reading a few reviews on Amazon was prepared for the image only instructions/ the need to disassemble the mounting plate to make TV placement easier. I also bought rawl bolts as one onlinecreview recommended not using the supplied plugs.
The bracket arrived well packaged, at around 2 pm. It was unwrapped and items set out, all bolts etc were clearly packed in a long plastic bag with sections clearly labelled with letters corresponding to the instructions. And here I noted a difference between this package and the older reviews, it had instructions quite clearly written along with the aforementioned diagrams, it also clearly stated to and how to remove the plate that seemed to cause confusion in other reviews! This I feel shows the manufacturer has taken on board consumers observations and acted upon them. To add to this the heavy duty plus and wall bolts supplied fir fixing to solid walls look very substantial, and although I did not use them as I had bought rawlbolts , I think they would have done the job to be fair.
The mounting plate was assembled with no issues and the correct bolts were located in the pack for the rear of my TV , I’m not sure how many variations there are but there is quite a selection included in the pack. That done and secured my wife helped me mount the tv/plate onto the bracket that I had fitted to the wall (and swung off to check) I suspect this vould be done alone with a less hefty TV as it located easily but due to the weight help is a better option .
The viewing position is quite a simple adjustment and is fixed requiring the supplied socket and handle. I suppose some would prefer an easier adjustment here but I don’t see the need as when sat on a sofa wherever in the room the angle would be the same. The range of movement is very good and requires a little effort which is very good as you want your TV to stay where you put it not swing around in a breeze etc .I included a picture of the TV in position for reference and understanding as we needed it to be pulled out from the alcove to be viewed from the other side of the room should there be others watching when we have friends or family over , this bracket really is the perfect solution to all I needed. No it doesn’t have a handle to avoid finger prints on the screen, it doesn’t have a gas strut to (well I don’t know what actually) like the One4All but for over 300 quid less I’m not really sure where the Extra cost would be or even how it could be justified to be honest ! I feel I had to write this review as I’m so pleased with the bracket as well as the money I saved that hopefully it can help others! I’m off to now to buy some screen wipes for a quid, no idea what I’ll do with the other 299 but I’m sure my wife will let me know !
The only negative review that caused me any sort of doubt before ordering was one saying about the bracket only being held on with four 2.5mm screws. All other reviews seem to be people struggling with assembly or fixing it to their wall which has nothing to do with the product or the bolts/screws provided with the product (which for the record are of good quality for the job in hand, but of course you may require different sizes or types to suit your particular installation).
Having fitted the bracket I can categorically say the four 2.5mm screws mentioned elsewhere in a review are not 2.5mm but are in fact 6mm bolts and the rail has cut outs which also take some of the load off the screws. To put this into perspective, Sony use four 6mm screws to mount their TV’s to the VESA fixings so I have no issues at all with the sturdiness of the bracket. In use so far, the hinges are all good and tight, no play or drooping tv experienced. It is easy to position and reposition the tv where you want it and it stays put in the selected position.
The instructions are some of the clearest I have seen in a product recently and all diagrams are clear and annotated in clear English. Contrary to another recent review, the instructions clearly explain (in the first few steps) how to fit the four smaller sections together and fix to the TV and if this step is followed then it is very obvious that the TV can just be lifted and slotted into the main bracket when it is installed on the wall. No need to be struggling with lifting the TV and bolting it in. I am not really sure why people struggle to follow the clear instructions which make perfect sense and then moan about their struggles to fit the bracket or TV!
I am very impressed with the quality and for the price I don’t think you will beat it.
If you’re not competent in DIY or if you don’t know your wall type then maybe get help to fix it from someone who can do a good job. There is absolutely no excuse for this to fall off a wall unless fitted incorrectly which might mean you need different fittings to those supplied. Little tip, if you have a gap between your solid fixing and the plasterboard, use some 15mm copper pipe cut to length (face of plasterboard to solid wall) to prevent the plasterboard from pulling in and the wall plug from pulling out as you tighten the hex screw.
I will add that I wrote this review to save others time in doing what I did, by scrolling through loads of reviews trying to make an informed decision, and not for any other reason.
I was in the process of updating / sizing my main TV to a 65in OLED TV my original TV was positioned on a corner shelf in my living room Having finally gone for the largest TV that the room could deal with it meant that for it to fit I had to wall mount the TV above the existing corner shelf. I looked long and hard to find what I considered to be a good quality wall bracket at a reasonable price that would support a rather heavy TV without falling off the wall at the first opportunity. I eventually decided on this one.
When both the TV and the bracket arrived the assembly began which as the instructions were detailed was simple and straight forward. where there were a couple of omissions from the placing of one or two of the TV bracket components these were answered within the design as it was obvious which way the parts were to be assembled by inclusive notches designed into the individual struts.
The assemble takes two parts where the bracket is part assembled onto the rear of the TV with the other half mounted directly onto the wall then the TV together with the sub assembly of the bracket now attached to the TV is offered to the wall sub assembly for final fitting.
The wall mounted sub assembly was straight forward with six major bolts to retain the bracket to the wall as long as the wall is strong enough I am sure that a London red bus could be suspended from the bracket once fixed. Whereas I fixed the bracket to a structural wall my only concern here would be fixing to a stud wall consideration might be given to adding some further wall support to ensure that the wall would deal with the bracket.
My only negative on the bracket is that it states that the bracket will cope with TV’s up to 70 inches. the TV I was fixing was a 65 inch and it only just coped with the TV set at 45degrees to both walls in the corner of the room. added to this the TV is a Qthin design and the screen is approx. 5mm thick with the electronic component area sticking out of the rear of the TV by approx. 30mm this has the effect of adding circa 25mm to the reach of the cantilever arm. To counter this I had little choice as to where I could mount the bracket due to existing in wall wiring .which had to be navigated around. However I don’t think the final bracket positioning on the wall had any significant effect on the reach of the wall bracket so my advice check carefully with the manufacturer if you are looking to mount a larger TV with this bracket.
Fin ally the cable routing fittings are clip on plastic together with the cosmetic bracket covers for the wall mounted part of the assembly which are simple , straight forward and work well and add to the finished article.
My overall opinion. Well-constructed. Looks good in place (not that it can be seen once fitted) Good Value for money I would recommend it with the above caveat on use with larger TV’s
ONE HANDED MOUNTING IS EASY IF YOU FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS:
Review of bracket itself:
An exceptionally strong, incredibly well designed and superbly engineered and constructed wall bracket that needed to be of absolute strength in order to support my 65 inch Sony 4K UHD TV. The bracket itself is very heavy and superbly engineered. It is made exclusively of solid steel (as it should be in order to support such a heavy weight) and I am sure it would easily support the 55 Kilograms (121 lbs/8.63 Stones) stated. I have had my TV extended fully out and to the sides with no concerns whatsoever. The bracket supports it perfectly. Of course, you need to ensure you have the bolts themselves supporting the bracket secured into the wall perfectly, with no play at all, otherwise catastrophe will be certain.
For (one-handed) mounting (see attached photographs) and minor niggle:
1. The TV bracket goes onto the TV (see enclosed instructions supplied with TV stand) before the wall bracket is attached to the wall.
2. I secured the TV mounting bracket onto the back of the TV (see rear mounting holes in photo 1) whilst my TV had its (already supplied by Sony) support legs on.
3. Then I worked out where on the wall I wanted the TV to be and measured from the bottom of the TV (in my case 83 cms top to bottom height) up to the top mounting hole of the wall bracket (which when attached to my TV was 63 cm. from the bottom of my TV)
4. I ensured the centre of the bracket was exactly dead centre of my wall width (see photograph 2) and as I wanted the bottom of my TV 110 cm from the floor (to clear my future Audio Cabinet and record player deck) the wall bracket top mounting holes came to 110cm + 63cm=173 cms. I drew a spirit level line along that point (dead centre of wall and 173cms from floor and marked the dead centre point.) Putting the wall bracket on that line I aligned the centre drill hole of the wall bracket to that dead centre point. I aligned the 2 outer top drill holes on that spirit level line and marked the centre point of each with a pen then marked the bottom of the bracket drill holes accordingly ensuring the top bracket marks did not move out of alignment. After ensuring the holes lined up perfectly, central within the wall bracket mounting holes and to the bracket and line I had drawn, I removed the bracket from the wall.
5. I then cleared the entire area and drilled the holes as stated with a 10 mm drill to slightly more than the total depth of the screw and fitted the supplied plugs in the holes and gently tapped them in about 1.5 cm below the level of the plaster using the bolt as a punch. I then unscrewed the bolt leaving the plug in the hole.
6. IMPORTANT: FIRST I FULLY COVERED THE TV SCREEN FACE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH A CLEAN SOFT SHEET. This was to avoid screen scratches or sweat marks. Then I put the TV (with legs) on a VERY FIRM table. Next I pulled the wall bracket out far enough to be close to the rear of the TV and in line with the wall bracket and TV mounting lugs.
7. I then got on top of the table and VERY CAREFULLY lifted the TV up by the top and bottom TV border (do not put pressure on the screen itself!) between the sheet, firmly, looking over as I then slid the TV and wall bracket mounting lug over one another and ensured they mated perfectly. I ensured the wall bracket mounting lug and TV lug were properly slotted together. When I was certain it was secure I slowly released my grip and double-checked by looking underneath. This was easy as the TV was quite far away from the wall.
8. I then carefully removed the supplied (Sony) mounting legs.
9. As I had checked it was perfectly mounted I then adjusted the TV back to the wall and ensured it was aligned by using a spirit level (I have a tradesman one) on top of the TV edge. The reason for this adjustment being necessary is that the bracket lugs allow the TV to be adjusted off-central-axis in case the mounting was not perfectly level. The problem being there is no means to then secure the TV axis adjustment so it is dead level.
10. The niggle being that you have to use a spirit level every time you move the TV or clean the screen. A minor niggle with what is an outstanding TV wall bracket. Therefore it gets 4.5 stars rather than a straight 5. Nonetheless this is an exceptional TV wall bracket and the best I have ever found and at a very reasonable price, hence this long review.
Absolutely recommended. 4.5 Stars (see above niggle.)
The mounted TV moves with ease but doesn’t swing aroung loose, and I’m really very happy with it. Adjustment is simple, if a little fiddly for horizontal level, made easier with the provided spirit level, and vertical tilt is simple and easy to adjust.
Though the Invision doesn’t break sweat carrying my TV, I certainly did when fitting it. The job involved a trip to B&Q and a heady mix of despair, harsh language and inspiration. I’ll walk you though the process, and hopefully it’ll make fitting it less aggro if you buy one.
Firstly, as another reviewer helpfully pointed out, the bracket is in two halves, and you really need to have the two halves apart before fitting. So remove the front plate from the bracket body (see pic). I suggest you screw the two bolts you unscrewed to remove the front plate, back into the front plate for now, that way you will find them quickly later.
Now attach the two horizontal arms to the plate you’ve just removed, in the middle of the arms, with the two bolts provided. (There’s a spanner in the set, but I found a small socket set to be easier to use.). You can fully tighten these bolts.
Okay, next you need to work out how your TV is going to attach to the bracket. I did this by lining up the vertical arms on the back of my TV, and then bolting the vertical arms in the correct place on the two horizontal arms of the front half of the bracket. Do this fairly loosely for now so they can still move a bit. Next, determine which screws fit into the VESA holes on the back of your TV. No need for the bracket, just see which of those silver bolts fit, you’ll only need to find *one* that fits, all the other VESA holes will be the same size as the one you find. (There’s a load of them supplied with the bracket, so you should find a set of bolts one that fit your TV.) Once you’ve worked out which bolts to use, bolt the front half of the bracket onto the back of your TV. Two things to note here:-
1) Remember to use the spacers provided with the set, there’s two sizes. (I used the smaller ones on my TV, but if your VESA holes are sunken, you might need to use the larger ones.)
2) Make sure you position the front half of your bracket on the back of your TV so you have access to any connection sockets (HDMI etc.) on the back. See pic. (My power socket is obstructed, but I can just get the power cord in because it’s a right-angled connector.)
With the vertical bars now bolted and spaced to the back of your TV, now you can fully tighten the vertical bars onto the horizontal bars on the front half of the rack. So that’s the front half done, and you have the front half of the bracket fixed to the back of your TV.
Okay, now it gets trickier. Work out what height you want your TV to be on the wall. I thought about the same height as it was on the TV stand, but my wife fancied the TV a little higher. Anyway, once we’d sorted out the height (standing the TV on blocks of wood to raise the height until we reached agreement), I temporarily fixed the rear half of the bracket onto the front half. Be careful with your TV if you do this, as it’s no longer balanced on its stand, and may fall over backwards with the weight of the bracket. With the TV on blocks at the correct height, I then extended the bracket backwards to the wall, put the provided magnetic spirit level on the top, and tilted the bracket on the TV until it was level, then marked the hole positions on the wall for drilling. I used a bradawl to make a starting hole in the wall, checked again that it all looked okay, and then removed the rear half of the bracket from the TV, and moved the TV out of the way before I started drilling.
If all this is getting a bit long-winded for you, then just read this: ONCE YOU SCREW THE COACHBOLTS INTO THE RAWPLUGS IN THE WALL, THEY WILL NOT COME OUT WITHOUT DAMAGE TO THE RAWPLUG/THE WALL/YOUR SANITY (delete as applicable).
Still with me? Okay, I drilled the first hole, top centre and knocked one of the supplied red rawplugs in. I wanted to check that the other holes lined up, so I held the rear half of the rack up to the wall and partially screwed one of the six coachbolts into the rawplug. Thus began my problems.
All the other bradawl dents were still lined up, so I figured I could remove the coach bolt, drill the other holes, and bolt the bracket to the wall. I figured wrong. It turns out, that once you have screwed your coackbolt into the supplied rawplugs, they *really* do not want to come out. As my first hole had gone into mortar, rather than brick, I quickly discovered two things: Firstly that the coachbolt was jammed in the rawplug. Secondly, and more worryingly, that the rawplug was rotating freely in the wall.
Uh oh!
Despite this setback, I figured I could just pull the rawplug out, jam in some packing to hold it, and tighten it up, relying on the other 5 bolts to hold everything in place. It was a reasonable plan, but while three of the remaining five went in nice and tight, unfortunately another one of them at the top did not grip the wall well enough to resist the tight fit of the coach bolt, and started rotating in the wall. So I was now stuck with a bracket half attached to the wall, with four bolts I could not risk undoing, and two others that were not held in properly. At this point I became somewhat vexed, and for a time there was great wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Once I’d calmed down and had a think, here’s what I did. I trashed the two loose rawplugs with cutters, and managed to get them out of the wall (remember, the bracket was partially bolted to the wall, so I couldn’t just pull them straight out of the wall as the bracket was in the way). I got some 12mm rawplugs and 8mm coachbolts from B&Q and used them in the now larger holes. (See pics. Note the packets show the B&Q coachbolts and rawplugs I used in the holes which were now too loose for the supplied size rawplug and coachbolt.)
The moral of the story is to only screw the coachbolts in to the wall when you have no intention of removing them afterwards. Anyway it all went okay eventually, and you can see in the pic how it looked on the wall with the rear half of the bracket bolted into place. Then I clipped the handsome plastic covers on and it looked pretty smart. (see pic), bofore hanging my TV onto the bracket, adjusting it for horizontal before bolting tight, then setting the vertical tilt before tightening.
Finally, I removed the feet from the TV, and taped up the locating holes as advised by LG to prevent insect ingress into the TV. And that’s the job done.
Now I’ve finished the job, I’m very happy with it. But I have to admit, it was a pain to fit. However now fitted, it’s rock solid. There is not so much as a hint of any wobble or sag at maximun extension. Just as I’d hoped.
So in conclusion, there’s nothing wrong with any part of the product, and I highly recommend it. But be warned, you only get one shot with those rawplugs.
‘Infusion’ looks and feels sturdy and I’ve had it extended out from the wall for weeks with no problems so far – the overall mount and two extendable arms look to be bearing the weight as they should. Be warned though, while the mount is easy to operate once it has been fixed and fitted to the wall, the actual process of drilling holes into your wall to fix the mount will require some DIY skills, knowledge, and experience. You may therefore want to either pay for professional installation of the mount or enlist the help of someone else who knows a thing or two about these matters. Since I am a DIY incompetent, I enlisted the help of my dad, who is extremely experienced and competent in the ways of DIY. Some packing was required for certain holes due to the varying nature of the wall material we drilled into in order for the bolts (supplied with the mount) to grip. The plastic bolt wall grips while decent enough, required some extra wooden packing. Whereas some holes didn’t even need the plastic wall plugs, all due to the varying material on the chimney breast where we fixed the bracket. Consequently, it took a couple of hours or more to fully achieve the task, not least due to some additional issues with the drill we were using. But now that the mount has been expertly fixed to the wall (thanks, dad!), the TV looks great and is now safe and secure for a lifetime on the wall (touch wood!!!). Once again, this is a great quality mount by ‘Infusion’ that’s more than worth the reasonable asking price. If I require any more mounts in the house for other TVs, I’ll be re-purchasing another one of these!
It is a good quality product, but only gets 4 stars because the instructions should be much better and after trying all permutations of fittings that came with mount, they didn’t quite tighten enough onto my TV ( I had to use my own M8 washers to get a tight fit). It took me about 2 hours (including planning and dust clean up) to get this up on my own for my 47″ Samsung TV.
The instructions are basic, but on inspecting the parts and the pictures you can eventually figure it out.
This is how I installed it (I’m not recommending you do it this way or stating that it is the best way, it’s just the way I did it). I got some masking tape and outlined the area of my TV on the wall I want it positioned. Remove the plastic decorative trim from rungs that attach to the wall. I placed the wall bracket on the centre rear of my TV and measured from the bottom of the TV to the bottom rung on the bracket. I measured that same distance from bottom of the masking tape TV outline on my wall up, giving me the position of the bottom rung of the bracket and marked it with a pencil. I drew a centre line from that pencil mark both horizontally and vertically for a positioning guide using a 1m long spirit level (it comes with a small magnetic spirit level). I lined up the bottom of the bracket with the horizontal line and its centre with the vertical line. Mark the drill hole positions (I had to reposition to avoid an electrical cable running in the wall). I only drilled the top left and right holes using an SDS drill (used a 6mm pilot then a 10mm drill bit to finish). Vacuum out the holes and hammer in the wall plugs supplied. I attached the bracket to the wall with only the two holes drilled, To screw the coach screws into the wall I used a ratchet, but wish I’d used a drill with the bolt driver bit (although if you do, be careful not to over tighten and strip the plug). I drilled all the other holes with the bracket attached to the wall using a 6mm pilot bit so as not to come into contact with the bracket. I unscrewed the bracket from the wall and drilled the 6mm holes with a 10mm bit, vacuumed out the holes and hammered in the remaining wall plugs. I then screwed the bracket to the wall using all 6 coach screws. On reflection, I didn’t need to be so precise in levelling the mount to the wall as the design of the bracket allows fine adjustment and is a little forgiving.
After slotting and bolting together the TV side of the mount, I struggled with the bits supplied to get a tight fit. Unless I missed something, the best fit left me with a 2mm gap of play so I used four M8 washers to allow a tighter fit.
I’m good with my hands. I don’t think my wife would be able to install it easily and products like these should be as easy as possible to install and the bits supplied should be able to fit a 4 year old Samsung LED TV.
I recommend this wall mount, I can now pull my TV out away from the wall in my living room and watch the world cup from my dining table now.
The product arrived promptly & as expected, It was well boxed in a tidy manner, with all the various components compartmentalised.& wrapped individually. The various screws etc are also packed individually & marked A,B,C etc which cross reference to the instructions.
My first thoughts were that I was impressed with the sturdiness of the bracket but the instructions seemed to lack much detail and are pictorial only.
Deciding it was most definitely a two man job, I enlisted the help of my brother in law to help fit it ,as we are both reasonably competent at general DIY.
Give yourself around one & half hours in total. This allows time to study the instructions & do the calculations required to work out the height & location of the TV bracket, especially if like me you want it hovering over the TV stand at a specific height.
We were fitting onto a brick wall (No plasterboard at all) & as such the drilling process was relatively pain free, using a 10mm masonry drill bit & sturdy hammer drill. The plugs/bolts supplied were more than adequate for this particular job & the bracket holes offer horizontal movement too. We fitted the main bracket to the wall & then the remaining four piece sections to the bracket. The location of the these four sections on the bracket will depend on your TV etc but there are plenty of location holes to choose from.
Next came the tricky part, unlike some other TV wall brackets we found the only way to fit the TV to the bracket was to offer the TV up to the bracket & screw in place whilst holding the TV at the same time. This was not too easy given the size/weight of our 58″ Panasonic TV, so we enlisted the help of my wife to attach the TV whilst we took the weight to be on the safe side. Some other brackets offer a much easier fitting solution as this stage but we could not see a simpler solution if there is one.
The end result was superb, as solid as I could have wished for even when fully extended. The bracket also offers cable management on the arms with clip on brackets to easily hold the various wires. A small spirit level & spanner are included, although I would use a socket set/drill to fit the bolts to the wall & a longer spirit level but they would work at a push. A nice added touch is the inclusion of a long HDMI cable for when the TV is moved.
Overall the only real downside I could mention are the basic pictorial instructions. which don’t really explain the easiest way to fit the bracket to the TV itself or don’t mention you have a lot more screws than you actually need because the include various sizes for all TVs. Don’t let these little points put you off buying this bracket & you will end up with a very sold bit of kit & for the money I doubt you will get a better end result anywhere!!
EDIT: From another reviewer which I wish I had seen earlier to help fit the TV to the bracket, he suggests this will then allow you to fit it without assistance:-
3. The first thing to do is DISASSEMBLE the flat plate attached to the frame. I don’t know why they fitted it and that’s probably the mistake.. This plate is the “KEY GUIDE” for the TV assembly. It simply slots onto the frame
2nd EDIT: After 22 months of use, this is still perfectly solid, despite regularly being extended and I bought a 2nd one shortly after my initial purchase for a 40″ TV in the bedroom. Again very happy with the end result.
Updated at end of review several months later, please read update as well.
The bracket arrived very fast. It is made of sturdy materials. I like that the bracket has an overlaying plastic cover which comes off so you can hide all your cables behind.
The bracket opens and closes easily and does not sag when the bracket is extended. The bracket comes with very sturdy fixings for the wall and very clear instructions on what size drill bits are required and how to correctly install the fixings to plasterboard over brickwork etc. I even learnt something I did not already know here just by looking at the diagrams.
I only had 2 gripes with this bracket hence 4 stars.
1 would have been nice to have a spirit level built in, although you do get a small level in the box.
2 my bracket has a slight fault. One of the screw holes holding the bracket onto the cross supports that go onto the tv, has the hole drilled incorrectly and the screw just falls out. Luckily the part slides inside the cross supports so cannot come off the tv or bracket when mounted to the wall.
I mounted a 65″ tv to the bracket and it looks and works awesome on this bracket. Very 8mpressed and well worth the price paid. I am sure your bracket won’t have the problem I encountered but if it does I am sure the supplier will replace for you. I am happy with mine how it is, it doesn’t weaken the bracket in any way with the screw missing as the bracket is designed with overkill in mind and has the added security of making the supports slide inside holes in the wall mount support so there is no way the tv can move around.
Thinking about buying one more for the bedroom tv now.
Here’s the update:
So several months on and this bracket is still like new like day 1 out of the box and has not sagged at all, the huge 65″ TV has stayed at the exact angle I put it on day 1 fantastic!
I originally gave the bracket 4 stars, I have since upgraded this bracket to 5 stars. It really does not deserve 4 stars. After I posted my original review I received an email from customer services explaining my two gripes and the replies were really good, straight away they said they would replace the faulty part, just let them know which part I needed and as for installing an level into the bracket, it is better for them to supply a level with the bracket than install a level bubble inside a metal bracket.
When you think about it, they are correct, it must be difficult to place an plastic bubble inside a metal frame and keep it perfectly level and keep costs down to the consumer so yes i agree with that, plus I have a nice spirit level to keep using afterwards.
Finally yes I did purchase a second bracket from them to hang a 50″ TV in my bedroom, I have not opened it just yet but once again it arrived very fast. I did not take up the offer of an replacement part on the last bracket either as the TV bracket is so solid without the other screw holding it anyway.
Great product and good customer service well done!
All the parts are excellently labelled with letters in 2 strips of sealed plastic packs, covering concrete/masonry and other types of mount (see description). Do check the depth of your wall (don’t count the plaster thickness) as it does need holes 8cm deep into something solid if you’re using the masonry anchors, which a hammer-drill is really almost essential for (or similar) due to 10mm diameter – I bet that could blunt drill bits and take forever without!
Before purchasing I emailed for some help/checks on requirements and got an excellent reply showing the instructions and other info, so very good customer service.
The swivel mount hinges are indeed stiff on arrival (as others say), which is useful for mounting as worked out it was best to pull it out from the wall to get heads in behind it and see when it was lined up to slot the front plate (with TV attached) onto the wall part. The tilt up/down uses the included spanner/your own to tighten and stop it moving under its own weight, so you shouldn’t expect to want to change the tilt regularly with this mount. That stiffness stopped the hinges being pushed about during the setup process, hanging the front plate onto the back wall mount part. Even with 2 people, the final step to hang the front plate (with TV screwed in) onto the wall-mounted part took 3 goes until we had it perfectly lined up to slot in (pauses in between due to the weight of the TV), there’s not much gap to line it up with but that also means it won’t slip or fall off (has a “lip”) even if the nuts securing it (and stopping it rotating) come loose, which I can’t imagine happening anyway.
None of the metal of the mount was in the way of our (55″ LG) sockets and we had options to raise or lower the TV on the front plate’s girder-like frame vesa-mount holes by a few centimetres by which holes you use (options will vary depending which VESA standard size your TV uses, ours was 300×200).
Plastic spacer rings (of various sizes) are supplied for between the TV and the frame (over the VESA mounting screws, many sizes provided including M4/5/6 and 2 different lengths of M6) that you’re instructed to use so the metal frame isn’t pressed right onto the back of the TV. I think the screws could have been longer to go deeper into the TV’s back frame and be maybe a stronger support (though wouldn’t want to overdo it), but it has been fine and I think its enough.
I think the cable routing parts (plastic clip-on U-shaped holders going onto each hinged cantilever frame part, ie. 6 of, 2 on each back hinged one top and one bottom part and 1 on each front part) are pretty tidy and have enough space for the 8 cables we needed (including aerial and optical separate audio out) though I did split them up some to come from the left and some from the right. I also bought 2 new ones as extra-slim connectors, and a right-angle F-type connector for the aerial link (satellite) so we could leave the mount closer to the wall.
Pictures of the parts attached. The free cable included has a nylon-braided outer layer, black with turquoisy blue detail. Its a bit rough to the touch. Its about 1.8m long. I’ll consider it a spare (is in use for now, works fine but will replace with a longer one when it arrives).
