MantelMount- MM340 Above Fireplace Pull Down TV Mount- Televisions 44" to 80" Up to 90 lbs - Safe Auto-Adjusting TV Mounts - Patented Motion Stops, Handles, Balancing Technology - Superior Steel

I read the reviews for a lot of products and we ended up buying this one for our tv over the mantel. I was a little worried because at the time Amazon didn’t sell the sound bar mount so I had to buy a different brand (it ended up working out but not without some modifications). After reading the reviews I was worried it would take a really long time but it only took my son and I about 2 hours to get it fully installed. Getting the brackets on the back of the tv (Roku) was honestly the hardest part for us mostly because of the sound bar mount and also because our mounting holes are very low on the tv. Once we finished that up it went very smoothly. Recommendations for your install:1. It is recommended to read the directions first and this is critical. The location of your wall outlets can make the install much more complicated but thankfully for us they were in the perfect spot.2. Level everything very carefully as you go. Make sure the brackets on the back are as close to symmetrical as possible. This saved us a lot of time at the end because we didn’t have to mess around adjusting anything.3. There are some super awkward screw locations that you have to use the dumb little hex drivers with the 90. It can be frustrating but if you level well as you go you won’t need to touch them again so take your time!Overall a great product, looks wonderful and serves its purpose well.

Great product if you're constrained with a higher than desirable bright for your TV. The system provides the ability to lower the TV and create a more comfortable view.Great range of motion, the fit and finish is impeccable, I used it on my 55" TV with no issues. I also added a soundbar bracket below the TV, it fits without problems. I really like the cable management system, the system comes with zip ties and anchor clips.Self levelling: plenty of options for you to correct the level of the TV.Interference with possible outlet: in my case the top of the carrier arm was exactly where a recessed outlet box was -- no issues there there is a half inch gap between the wall and the arm itself.The only downside or important items to consider before purchasing I can see are:* Weight: the system weighs more than the TV (I want to say 35 lbs)* Install takes 3 hours end to end* Make sure to measure twice and drill once, your going to need to have 4 anchor bolts drilled in the studs.Overall super happy with this! Well worth the effort. I put some pictures up for folks to see what it looks like and how low the TV can go, it's quite impressive. Happy building!

I'm pretty happy with this mount. I've installed many mounts and this one didn't give me any major problems and was able to install by myself with a 65" OLED screen. With most things I just try and wing it, but I definitely recommend following all the steps properly as I had to back track a few times. My biggest concern was using this with an LG OLED as the VESA holes are pretty low on this TV. The distance from the bottom TV bracket to the bottom of the TV is 2.5" though the instructions state there should be a minimum of 3". I did not want to use the extender brackets, so I just left it at 2.5". This does not cause any problems with operation but it does expose the wall bracket just below the TV when in the "up" position. When sitting on the couch I can see this, which I don't like, but I plan to adjust the TV brackets and move them up on the VESA pattern to drop the TV down a bit so it will cover the bottom wall plate. When in the down position and sitting on my couch I see absolutely no wall hardware, so that is a major plus! Everyone's mantel and setup is different, but for me this worked out perfectly.

Great quality

I believe take it and give it! I learnt this product because users shared their opinions here. Here is my turn to contribute. The mount is good quality and installation instruction is also clear. The mount securely and nicely held my 75" TV. Although my handyman never saw this type of TV mount, he was able to figure it out and complete the installation within one hour. To loosen the tension of TV lifting force on the bolt (for Heavy TV), use a tool to turn the bolt clockwise direction. To increase the tension of TV lifting force (Lighter TV), use a tool to turn anti-clockwise direction. The change of the adjustment is very subtle, so patience is necessary. Perhaps the lifting tension has not been adjusted well that some people in my home have a hard time lifting the TV down and up. I have no problem lifting it however. The TV mount has been using since three weeks ago, so I feel comfortable sharing my positive experience about this mount.
