Sanus VMF518 TV mount The mount can hold your TV 18-3/4" out from the wall with the arm fully extended.

A smart, safe design for convenient mounting

Sanus' tools-free assembly makes setup simple. Once you've secured the brace to the wall, the arm just slides into position. A safety lock that closes with an audible click lets you know the arm is securely in place.

Fine-tune your TV's placement

The arm assembly can also be shifted slightly left or right on the wall plate so the TV is centered, even if your wall studs are off-center. Finally, channels in the mount's arm lets you thread cables through it, keeping them free from tangles.
