Incredibly robust TV mount

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 11, 2022

I really like this TV mount. It's easy to follow the instructions, a myriad of bolts are included that should work for your TV, and it feels like an incredibly robust piece of equipment.

I did have to purchase some bolts for my TV (Panasonic 50 inch EX700B) from a local hardware store, but that was OK. It might be worth spending 10 minutes checking whether the bolts fit as expected before setting time aside to put the mount on the wall.

It took me a few hours to get the mount on the wall, including moving furniture and tidying up all of the AV cables. The bolts used to secure it to the brick wall are considerable!

Recommendation: Make sure you have a good / new 10mm drill bit.

*** Pros ***
- Robust
- Easy to follow instructions
- Great card template for aligning the mount to the wall
- Mount has tilt feature to better align to your viewing angle
- Can move the TV left and right on the mount
- Can horizontally align the TV just in case something isn't aligned
- If you ever have to keep the TV off the wall, the mount isn't hideous to look at

*** Cons ***
- Had to purchase new M6 bolts as the spacers provided were either too long or too short
- The toggles to unlock the lower TV clips are quite weak

A great TV wall mount. Recommended.

The SANUS VLT5 B2 Premium Series Wall Mount is an excellent product. I used it to fit a Panasonic 55 OLED to the wall to keep it away from small hands.
The bracket itself is light but strong. The fixing bolt covers snap into place to cover the bolt heads when mounted. The angle adjustment is, in my installation, awkward to get at once the TV is in place but I didn’t use this feature. The ability to move the TV left and right on the bracket to adjust its position is a great feature. The selection of supplied spacers, washers and screws makes for easy mounting of the arms to the TV.
The fittings for both stud and concrete, where it uses top quality Fischer wall plugs, are present and they really do a great job of attaching it securely to the wall. Good wall plugs should not be underestimated and the fact that Sanus uses Fischer here says a lot in my opinion. A template is included along with a nice little stud finder level tool; that’s is a nice addition.
You can go to the Sanus website and if you enter the bracket and TV model details it will calculate the position of the holes to drill for mounting. Far too many people will mount a TV too high on a wall relative to their seating position and this could lead to neck strain so this is useful to find the optimum mounting position.
Overall I would highly recommend the bracket.

Great TV Mount for Sony Bravia 49" TV

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2021

Was very dubious about mounting a 49" TV on the wall, as not done that before, but glad I read the reviews and took the plunge with this one. Really well made, great instructions and wall template, and pretty easy to install. I did not use the fixings that came with the mount as I was really worried about the plasterboard wall being able to hold the weight of the TV, so I paired the mount with Grip-IT fixings, and the mount is now rock solid on the wall. TV slotted on easily with the brackets and the ability to move it vertically and horizontally once fitted was a bonus as could get it perfectly lined up.

Very happy with this mount and would certainly buy again.

Used for LG 48 C1.

Use is in my bedroom with it being angled downwards towards my bed.

Pros:
Very strong and good materials.
Fairly easy to assemble. Just need to make sure you use the right size screws to fit on TV back (gives you different sizes in box).

My only slight con is the bottom clip underneath if you can tell on picture doesn't quite clip in as hard (or as far) as the manual suggests. Still, it is extremely sturdy and does not worry me otherwise .
Another thing to mention is that you can slide sidewards but would only recommend you do it with 2 people and do it before you start using it. I've placed mine the way I want it and wouldn't want and need to move it again apart from tilting downwards and upwards.

Holds up 55 inch tv well

I bought this to hang an LG 55 inch tv. Easy to fit with good instructions. I actually had to hang the TV on a metal stud rather than wood so I emailed customer services and they were really helpful in sending the right screws for metal stud. So I was impressed with the after sales too.

Used this to mount a Sony Bravia 55 inch tv. The instructions were very easy to follow and the whole process was simple. The end result is fantastic and looks very smart and the ability to make adjustments after mounting allows it to get absolutely perfect. Very pleased with the whole process.

Atrocious quality control

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2023

Received the VLT5 - all well packaged and no damage to box. Fitted first items out of the top carrier in the box to TV - great selection of fittings. Then unpacked wall plate only to find plastic ‘C’ frame joining upper & lower metal load bearer was completely shattered rendering plate useless. Submitted replacement request and another pack turned up 24 hours later. Again packaging all undamaged. Went straight to wall plate…. This one was rendered useless due to sheared hex head of ‘C’ bracket screw. Several blue words later, decided to try a stud extractor on the shaft and fortunately it popped straight out. Robbed broken frame of a screw & frame now fixed.
Whoever packed these frames must have seen the plates were broken , certainly quality control is absent.
Purchased this brand based on reviews which on the whole were positive about the sturdiness of these units.
Only 2 stars solely down to these defects

Not great for smaller TV's

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2021

This seems to work well on large screens and also appears to work better with heavier ones. That may sound odd but read on.....

I used one to support my Grandsons 43" Toshiba and purchased on the basis of a supplier search that said the model number was supported.

First problem was that the screws supplied with the Sanus bracket were something like M6 and the fixing holes in the TV were only M4.

So off to Screwfix to get some short M4 screws and some Penny washers so the smaller screw heads did not pull though the bracket holes. Screwfix had no penny washers for M4 or screws that were short enough so back to Grandads workshop which seemed better stocked than Screwfix.

So with the right size and length screws and washers and the bracket was mounted to the back of the TV. Unfortunately the recommended fixing points on the Toshiba are only around 100mm apart. This means that the stability provided by the bracket is quite poor. Its like standing in a gale with your feet close together rather than spread apart to stabilise yourself. This is made worse by the fact that the Toshiba is an incredibly light screen so there is very little weight to assist stabilising it and on the wall the TV is incredibly easy to push out of level, and quite difficult to get back to level.

Due to the "hook over" nature of the two separate sections of the bracket it will always be possible to lift it a few millimeters and because the bracket is not fixed at the outer edges of the TV this means that the final fixing seems very wobbly and the slightest tough has you wondering if it will fall off. To be fair it will not, is very secure but in a mobile sort of way! That is not ideal for a bracket that by design is supposed to be able to tilt and is therefore inviting the user to "play" with the screen angle.

I am sure that this bracket will be very good for larger heavy TV's but my opinion is that for smaller lighter TV's something less elaborate will provide a better choice.
