Our take on the Sanus MC1A

The Sanus MC1A ceiling mount lets you place your LCD flat-panel TV in locations where wall-mounting isn't an option, such as in a corner of your room. It comes with two different mounting plates — one for larger and one for smaller TVs — ensuring a good fit with virtually any 23" to 40" LCD. A channel in the back of the mount keeps your TV's cables hidden for an uncluttered appearance.

You can swivel your TV 15° left or right, and tilt it up or down 15°. Sanus' Virtual Axis™ technology allows variable angle adjustment with just the touch of a finger. With Virtual Axis, the display stays exactly where you aim it, and you can lock the position by simply tightening a knob.

Features

Overview: The Sanus VisionMount MC1A full-motion ceiling mount allows you to mount a medium-sized flat-panel TV in places where wall mounting is difficult or not possible. This mount can be used for corner placement as well. It is recommended for 23" to 40" flat panel TVs or monitors up to 70 pounds.

Construction: The MC1A is made of rigid extruded aluminum with a durable anodized finish for a high-tech look that compliments your home theater equipment.

VESA-compatible Mounting Brackets: The MC1A comes with two interchangeable VESA mounting plates. The small plate can accommodate VESA 75 (75mm x 75mm) and VESA 100 (100mm x 100mm) patterns. The large mounting plate has screw patterns for VESA 200 (200mm x 200mm), VESA 200 x 100, and VESA 100. The keyhole slots in the mounting plates allow you to easily place the plates on the TV. The mount comes with M4, M5, and M6 mounting hardware in different lengths to accommodate most TVs. For TVs with curved back panels, a variety of spacers is provided for a secure fit.

Adjustable Height: The unit allows you to adjust the height of the TV for perfect positioning. You can raise or lower the TV in a range of approximately 1-3/4".

Virtual Axis 3D: The cup-shaped faceplate design allows you to effortlessly tilt or swivel the TV up to 15° in any direction without the use of tools. A single knob allows you to tighten the faceplate in the position you desire.

Wire Channel: The back of the pillar assembly contains a built-in wire management system to protect and conceal cables. A plastic cover is included to cover the wire channel for a finished look.

Required Tools: Installation of the MC1A requires the following tools:

  • Phillips-head screwdriver
  • Socket wrench with 1/2" socket
  • Drill with 3/16" drill bit
  • Electronic stud finder
