Sanus Premium Series VLL5

I've installed several types of Sanus panel mounts over the years and this one is neither the best I've seen nor the worst. The pricier LT25 is far superior, but this one, the VLL5, is still better than the VLT16 I have in the other room. The VLL5's mounting bracket is sturdier and has a lot of holes so that you can easily get lots of bolts into the studs behind the drywall. It also has a good amount of flexibility in mounting height, since there are lots of hole options on the rails that screw to the TV. Finally, it gets the TV nice and close to the wall, by sacrificing tilt capability, which you can get by without, if you're not installing over a fire place. The mechanism which secures those rails to that wall bracket is a whole different story though. The main problem with the VLL5 and the VLT16 (and their other lower-price models, I'd suspect) is the release mechanism to pop it loose from the wall so you can get to the wires. It's a couple of flimsy strings that dangle underneath the TV and generally look silly if you don't tie them up, and then when you need them to actually release the clips, they require a frustrating amount of tugging and cursing to do the job; and it's only a matter of time before one breaks. Sanus need to work on a better solution... they had it perfect with the LT25, which has steel release levers... but I guess that's why it costs 2-3x as much as their other models. Anyway, deducting a star for the crummy release

Pros: Sturdy enough, flexible mounting options (both horizontally and vertically) to suit various TV brands. Easy to match up to your stud placing. Super low profile, given that there's no over-complicated tilt function to fuss with, if you don't need it.

Cons: Bracket release mechanism is terrible. It does work, but it's frustrating, flimsy / cheap, and can look silly if you don't tidy it up well enough. This mount gets the job done, but make sure you have your wiring in place and working (i.e. don't buy cheap HDMI cables) before you snap the TV in place because getting it to pop loose was maddeningly difficult for me. Opt for the far superior Sanus LT25 if you can afford it (available at Crutchfield as well).

Good product!! Easy install, just get help utting your tv up, it takes two people

Pros: Easy install

Cons: U have to go out and buy different screws

Heavy duty construction and a quality product. I chose a close fit so required 90 degree HDMI and Coax adapters. Looks great after install.

Pros: Easy installation. Adjustable to fit my TV perfectly.

Cons: None.

This is a well built mount but there are a few things to be aware of. *I'm not able to use the Click Stands with my TV because the top of the TV hits the wall. I can't tip it back far enough to engage the Click Stands. I had to take the TV down, connect all the cables, then hang it. *Do Not trust the website feature to determine mounting height of the bracket. It was off by 7 inches for me. *All the supplied TV screws are long, so if you want the TV close to the wall, buy shorter screws.

Pros: Well built. Good price of mind. Thin

Cons: Only long screws provided. Click Stands don't work with some TVs

No tilt, TV is facing up slightly

Pros:

Cons:

Great product. It did not come with a smaller M6 screw to mount to the LG OLED but after a quick trip to Lowe's this worked out great. Mounts the TV very close to the wall. Inluded mounting cardboard was a huge help.

Pros: Bery shallow depth.

Cons: Due to how the LG OlED works, the mount won't tilt back far enough for kick stands.

Be warned if you are connecting one of the LG OLED TVs! I had the OLED65b7A and got this mount on the recommendation of one of the advisers. It works like a champ but there are a few Got Yas. First is the included hardware. They include both 25 X 6mm screws and larger ones to make it universal. But the screws are too long. Even using the provided small plastic spacers and the 6/8mm washers the screws remain at least a quarter inch proud when screwed all the way in. Had to go buy some extra washers to make the difference. The legs at the bottom of the brackets you attach to the TV are supposed to give you room to attach the cables after the TV is on the wall. Nope. Great in theory no go in practice. There is not enough play between the wall bracket and the TV brackets to allow the legs to function as required. Finally there is the online tool to tell you how high to screw the bracket on the wall. It only works in increments of whole inches and keeps timing out and making you start all over again. After all that measuring you may as well just do a little simple math to come up with your own height setting. Still have not figured out a way to keep the strings that actuate the lower locking mechanism from hanging down.

Pros: Nice solid bracket, secure mount, slim profile, adjustable from left to right after you have the TV mounted.

Cons: Included hardware did not work with my TV, Online tool is useless. Cables must ALL be connected before hanging the TV despite what the instructions say.

Great product, easy to make adjustments. Had to purchase additional hardware for attaching to metal studs.

Pros: Easy to follow instructions Sits flat against he wall and easy to adjust

Cons: Had to purchase a separate kit for installing on metal studs

An easy to install fixed wall mount for large TVs

Pros: The system is easy to install. It's also pretty simple to make minor adjustments and even take the TV on and off if necessary.

Cons: There is relatively little space between the TV and wall once it's installed so depending on the location of input jacks you may need to add right angle connectors so the cables aren't damaged.

Great product for great price. Very quick delivery with free shipping.

Pros: Hugs the wall, easy install, good quality for price.

Cons: None

Easy set up, hugs the wall ,

Pros:

Cons: None yet

Pros: easy set up, solid click attachment and removal tabs. good instructions

Cons: none

Easy install. Great design. I am using wood studs. Simple.

Cons:

Easy to install, priced right.

Pros:

Cons:

A very well made product. I bought this to hang a new Sony 65W930D TV. Unfortunately, this did not fit the TV. The mount points on the TV are in the lower third of the TV and also use spacers on the back of the TV. I could not find a placement where the holes for Sanus TV bracket pieces lined up with the spacers on the TV. So I returned the Sanus TV bracket and went with the Sony version designed for this TV. If it would have worked for me, I would have given it 5 Stars. Crutchfield, as always, were excellent in handling the shipping of the Sony wall mount and the return of the Sanus unit.

Pros:

Cons:

Easy do it yourself installation, come with template and stud-finder level tool. Took me about 20 min to install, you do need a bigger level.

Pros: Kit comes with all tools except drill.

Cons: None

One of the best mounts I ever used. Came with everything you need from a level to a stud finder. And the quality was the best!

Pros: Easy install

Cons: None

Easy to install.

Pros: Slim mount.

Cons: Mounting screw was in the way when lifting tv to mount, but I was able to move the screw and all was well.

Easy to install. The package contains everything you need including the stud finder which was very helpful. The only downside is the flaps that allow you to angle the TV to install cables is made of plastic and is easy to break (I broke it on my setup). Installs like a picture hanging on the wall. I'm using it to hang my Sony 65" LED TV (~85 lbs) w/o issues.

Pros:

Cons:

Awesome product, fixed my 52" TV on wall easily, great price, arrived well packed and in a timely fashion! Very pleased, thank you

Pros: Strong, tidy, good price and simple to install with a stud finder and spirit level included!

Cons: None!

Great wall mount, east to install.

Pros:

Cons:

Installation was easy and simple - the 'stud finder' tool included was a nice touch.

Pros:

Cons:

Easy to install and works great with my large TV

Pros: Very good quality and has excellent instructions for the consumer.

Cons: None

Got this to mount my new Samsung 55" 4k, its works perfect.

Pros:

Cons:

very solid product. I placed this on a false front and went in easily I did find it difficult to latch on the bottom of my 75" Samsung to the mount , but that was primarily due to having very little room on the sides of a custom cabinet..

Pros: easy to install

Cons: none

everything looked great. my main concern was the width. I was using to mount an 80" TV. it is not wide enough to go across three studs in the wall. I mounted a 15/16" piece of plywood and then mounted the tv mount to that. loved the "kick stands" makes terminating cables a breeze. then the next issue, I was about an inch off center but you only have about a half inch of adjustment room (again, issue with width for an 80". ) so overall, great product for tv's on smaller side of dimensions. was not good for my application, I'm still about 1/2" off center of my wall but can't really tell.

Pros: sturdiness, kickstand, ease of mounting

Cons: width
