We just ordered two of these units - we have two VESA 400 Samsung tv's. Why are the bolts so short? They don't work!

I I ave samsung 50" 6300 series and it was a pain in the shorts to mount. After several hours of trying to make the mount work, i gave up and callef Samsung and Cheetha. Come to be my kit did not have the M8 screws. Cheetah sent them next day air. I did have to go to home depot for a M8 1.25 screw to mount the bracket to the arm because orignal screw was too short. Finally after hours of frustration thr TV is mounted. I have to say that now that it is up, I love it!

I found that he metric bolts with the mount kit were not long enough for the Samsung TVs. Home Depot or the like should have the longer M8 bolts. I also got a few washers at the same time to ensure I would have a good fit with the longer bolts. These mounts are great but need a little adjustment to fit samsung. I found the quality and adjustability of the mount worth the extra effort. I also sent a note to the manufacturer to make some adjustments to the kit to fit the needs of a samsung tv.

I had the same issue but it turns out that the extension arms were not in properly. I have a 47" Samsung and it fit correctly. Try flipping the extension brackets over before you put them in the wall mount and see if they fit.

First off, I would return the Plasma. The word on the street is that Plasmas are out. Everyone I know that had one has had problems with it. Your call I guess.The wall mount adjust up and down and left and right. There are slotted holes as well. It should work out just fine. I can't remember if my bolts came with the TV or the wall mount though. Amazon should tell you what size TVs will work with this wall mount

I read the reviews prior to buying this tv, so I was expecting to have to get extra hardware to mount this to my existing VESA mount. To make a long story short, their "supplier" samsungparts.com was of no help, and samsung care is of little help as well. They don't have the proper information because those screws are only included in the box for a 65" or higher tv, and they only deal with replacements for what's already in the box (according to them). I ended up using 4 x M8 1.25 35mm screws with one standard metal washer on the head side, and one standard metal washer and one rubber washer on the tv side, and it worked great for me.

The height, of the mounting plate, is 4 1/4 inches. The height between the holes are 2 1/2 inches from top of the top hole to bottom of the bottom hole and it works out to almost 2.5 inches between lag bolts. Honestly, the mount is pretty solid. I have it on a 40 inch LCD and it worked well. The VESA mount is a little funky but it worked well. Let me know if you need more measurements.The holes horizontally are separated by about a 1/4 inch of metal so it would be easy enough to line them up horizontally if the measurements fit the vertical spacing.

I'm really interested in hearing what you found. We just got a new Samsung TV and it has the same problem.

Of course the tv has to have the proper VESA holes 75 or 100. I mounted 19 or 20 inch LCD TVs on them with no problems. You could probably go up to 24 or so. They seem to be well made and sturdy.

It has been some time since I mounted the TV holder however, I mounted into an open beam with 4 small lag bolts. I think it comes with mounting screws smaller than 1/4 inch.

There are multiple positions for the mount brackets to be placed behind the TV. If the brackets are showing behind the TV from the bottom, you might want to align the brackets with the TV bolt holes at a higher position.

Make sure that the brackets which attach to the TV have the adjustment screws on the bottom. Also, do not over-tighten the adjustment screws. Hope this helps!

it depends on what the VESA size of your tv is? you can find this in your manual, or by measuring the disntance between the proper screws on the back of your tv. try checking this site for some tips on measuring. http://www.mountcenter.com/VESA-Mount-Standards-s/367.htm hope this helps

I am having the same problem as you.I am using this product to mount a Samsung UN40H6350 (40") TV. Samsung recesses their holes very deeply. Home Depot only had 20mm long M8 screws which were too short, making it impossible to get the "3 complete turns" that the installation manual demands, and the 25mm M8 screws were too long, not holding the mounting plate securely.23mm long would be ideal, but Home Depot doesn't carry that size.Thread measurement is 1.25 by the way.Good luck!

Read up on what VESA measurements are, then check your TV's VESA measurements and compare to those listed on the product.to see if it will fit.

I've tried it on two different TVs and it worked just fine for me, didn't need anything else. The plugs were kind of hidden, but they were there. You must have the VGA system to do it, though, so maybe thats the problem.

Don't see any reason it won't mount on any VESA 100 mount, but there is a possibility that it might interfere with some of the inputs/outputs. If the inputs/outputs are located near the center of the TV, they might be covered by a portion of the bracket. Probably will NOT be a problem. Also, with a smaller TV, it is more likely that mounting bracket and the wall attachment portion will be visible, not that it is unattractive.

you will need to look in your TV manual to see if it supports standard 400mm mounts or not. the document i found after a quick search didnt specify. also note your TV weight without the base is ~50lbs you may want a mount with more than 2 bolts. I would not recommend this one. i would use VideoSecu Articulating TV Wall Mount Bracket for 26"-55" LCD LED Plasma 3D TV with VESA up to 400x400, Full Motion Tilt Swivel Dual Arms BD4 instead.

Yes, this unit should work. The unit comes with a variety of bolts -- different diameters and different lengths. Note the two vertical brackets in the picture. Mount those to the TV first, then hang on the horizontal plate. One hint -- the three hinges were very tight so I sprayed them with WD-40 and flexed them dozens of times to loosen them up.

The newer Sony units come with a pair of bolt extensions for the lack of better words. If you still have the hardware pack that came with the TV it would be in there. If not I am a Sony dealer which may have some extra in inventory I would be glad to mail to you ....Please reply with the model of the TV so I can get the right extensions
