Sanus Vlf728 (B2) Slim Full Motion Swivel TV Bracket (42-90"), Black

First of all the pictures for advertising this product do not do the size of the product justice. The product Weighs in at 19 kg. The length of the wall bracket is 33 inches long and around 15 inches tall. When you are looking at installing a 65 inch TV the weight of the TV is around 40 kg. So taking into account the weight of the TV and the expense of the TV it is worth shelling out for a superior wall bracket. I have my TV in the corner angled at a 45° viewing angle from the corner of the room.With the weight of the TV it is a daunting task thinking about installing such a heavy item protruding out on the 28 inch long arms. But when fitting a large TV and to get the 45° viewing angle long arms are needed.The item comes in five pieces, three other pieces are for the bracket to go on the back of the TV which you will fit first. There are stamped measurement markers which appear through a cutout window in the brackets to angle bracket centrally. All the fixings are provided M6 and M8 size pozzy head drive screws. Depending on your TV depends on which size you use and length, spaces are also included so you do not screw the screw through your TV components.When you open the box there is a cardboard template on top of all the pieces, use this first to Mark out the fixing holes when you decide where you want to hang the bracket.My walls are dob and dab plaster board. This basically means plasterboard is fixed to the internal breezeblock wall using dabs of pasta mix cement. Some people might have bare walls showing and other people might have plaster attached to a wooden frame called studs.Depending on your fixing area depends on what sort of mounts you will use. I decided to use all 14 of the mountain slots in the wall frame. Eight of them are used with 130 mm M8 Lightning bolts. These are a replacement for rawl bolts and a lot easier to use. These like All fixings Can be purchased cheaply from a hardware store. I used a 25 mm wood drill to remove plaster where the bolts were going to go through into the breeze block internal wall. I then used large washers as spaces to take up the void gap between the plaster and the internal wall so when tightening the Lightening bolt, the bracket is secured tightly as it is pulled onto the spaces and the breeze blocks.The remaining six holes I just drilled and again fitted lighting bolts to pull The wall frame onto the plaster for an even tighter fit.Once for TV has been hung, The horizontal level has been achieved and the fixing screws tightened up, cables run through the cable tidy, and wall bracket plate closed, the TV is very secure and I will not be worrying about it leavering it in its self off the wall.The cost of the bracket is expensive but it is a very well-made strong item and will put one’s Mind at rest regarding if the TV was to fall. The brushed aluminium in either silver or black looks very modern also but to be fair the majority of it is not seen because of a TV in a way.

I used the Vlf728 mount to install an LG OLED65B9PLA - weight 25.2 KG over a recess (see photos). My previous TV was fitted fully into the same recess and I wanted a low profile swivel bracket that would pull the TV against the wall and its rear built into speaker into the recess itself. It worked perfectly for this function. Its low profile meant I was able to fully pull the TV flush with the wall.The instructions provided are very clear and with a bit of extra planning (which was needed for my specific case) mounting was surprisingly simple. I was able to adapt and use the concrete lug bolts to mount the frame into the wall, after which the rest was straightforward. The template provided both helps with positioning the bracket and the screws and bolts. If you are mounting to a concrete or brick wall, you will have everything you need in the box. For drywall or plasterboard you may choose to use anchors or grip-it style fixings.Personally I probably won't swivel it way from the wall to reposition for nomal viewing too often, but for this it can more than adequately support the TV even when fully extended. I can wholeheartedly recommend this bracket if you need a swivel mount like this one, just buy it. It's absolutely superb.

So glad I got this bracket! It’s super sturdy for my 65” tv. It glides in and out easily too. The guy who delivered the tv installed it - he said it was easy and he was super impressed with it: said it was a much better quality than most of the brackets out there! Really happy I found a company that didn’t insist on selling me the bracket as well as the tv!!!

Wanted to make sure I had all angles covered to move the tv, and not disappointed! It is a bit heavier than others but it sure holds my large tv and I can manoeuvre it easily. Feels good quality and will never need to move it! Top makes.

beautifully engineered bracket, very precise and will take the slightest of adjustments and stay in place

Amazing bracket! If you have a big TV, ours is 60 inch on a stud wall, this is a must! Pulls right out and tilts, very secure. Worth the extra money!!

Product returned as parts were missing.

Product seems quiet robust. There are certainly lighter and more compact options available. If I was to buy again I would only do for a TV at the upper end of the allowable size. For anything on the lower end (ex 48") get something else. It's designed for older heavier TVs. Over designed for today's LED TVs.On the specific bracket I received - it was a warehouse purchase - Used - highlighted as having cosmetic damage.Bracket arrived - checked were all parts present against the manual - check! Cosmetic damage was minimal. I thought I was on a winner.Proceeded to follow instructions and mount the wall carrier - requires drilling 3 holes in the wall. Went to assemble the TV with mounting bracket onto the wall carrier - discovered the integrated locking screws were missing. There was no way to securely mount the TV. A further look also showing a nut missing from the leveling screw.Really disappointing that I was left with nothing but 3 holes in the wall!Customer service response was poor. Despite explaing the issue I dont think they got it. For me this is a health and safety issue selling a bracket with the critical locking screws not in place. I don't know if this was a manufacturing issue or if this was damaged by a previous purchaser.Maybe an unfair review as this is a warehouse item and the review is probably more aimed at the warehouse screening process and description rather than the item itself.Item returned for a full refund. The £15 Amazon refund offer to keep the bracket did not counter the health and safety risk in my opinion!! I remain out of pocket for the repair of my wall. New bracket (different type) has different hole location.
