Am I correct that this mount will permit the tv to be folded flat against (parallel to) the ceiling?

If you're asking that it can be level with the ceiling, yes. Be sure to make the center of the tv centered with the bracket or the tv will tilt - that's pretty standard. Because the bar is so long, the tv can be from 12" to 24" or more from the ceiling. You're not supposed to, but I cut the bar to a length that made the tv just about 4" from the ceiling.

No, if you have a steep vaulted ceiling the mounting piece will tilt to accommodate the angle of the ceiling. But once screwed into a joist it will not move. The TV will rotate but the post stays perpendicular to the floor.

I found that the mount will not sit next to the ceiling to hide the mounting bracket and you may have to side the t.v. to one side more than the other, why I don't know but may tilt to one side more I use a small line bubble level to get the t.v. to look even. And if you are wanting the t.v. to be straight up and down with the ceiling I think maybe you mean bar yes, but I found that if you are sitting or laying down to view than you may want to set the tilt to more of a 20 degree angle for better viewing. I hope this helps.Good luck

This mount will not afford a TV to mount parallel to the ceiling only perpendicular.

I don't think it is designed to fold the tv up to the ceiling. It looks like it may be possible, but there is no locking mechanism to keep it there.

also I really like this TV mount and I'm a 56 yr female and I was able to install it myself without any problems. I highly recommend it I prefer it to the wall mount I installed in another room.

I don't believe so. The slot that it can swing on appears to go about 30 degrees from vertical

The bracket at the top of this pic has 2 holes that have to be mounted (screwed) into a solid surface to support the weight of the unit/TV. Ceiling can be straight or vaulted. There's a hinge at the top that will keep the TV hanging straight.

It would take some adjustment, some actual modification to the hardware. I will tell you this, you will be disappointed in this unit. It does not hold solidly and the TV feels very precarious in the mount. Look for another ceiling mount.

There are two allen head screws that secure the vertical arms (secured to the TV) to the horizontal plate (secured to the wall). These seem to prevent the unit from being accidentally dislodged ;however, on my unit they do not absolutely eliminate the possibility of the TV being moved left/right. It seems unlikely that "small, curious hands" could facilitate this.

The mount can only be mounted on a flat wall (or a flat supporting structure) but al long as there are wall studs the mount can be bolted to, the flat part can be up against or very near the corner - this will limit the movement of the TV attached to the mount but basically this mount extends 25 inches from the wall, so should work well in that environment so long as the TV size is not huge! The literature form The manufacturer will tell you the maximym size TV this mount will handle and allow the TV to be rotated 90 degrees from the wall mount!

No its a matter of the brackets lining up on the back of the tv with the part of the mount it attaches to.

I believe that is correct, or it will be very difficult to tilt while TV is attached.

No...based on my research the only mounts that will do this are for smaller LCD's (23" and below). I was not able to find one that folded up for anything larger

The mount will move left and right as well as angle up and down. The part of the mount that attaches to your TV has several different screw sizes and placement for the tv to fit.

Yes, it will tilt up and down. I am very pleased with mine. Very heavy duty. I have an LG 60" flat screen that only weighs 55 lbs. This mount is way over kill for the weight of tv's today. But, it is by far the best mount for large tv's that need extension. It tilts up, down, and moves side to side.

I'm not sure if the holes for mounting the TV to the mount would align correctly. Also. It does lock in to the extended position, but if you weren't paying attention and moved the lever to lower it, it would just fall straight down. There is no spring assist to keep it from crashing down.

Nope, the tv does not move on the mount. I suppose it could move side-to-side, but it should really stay centered anyway.

The legs fold up to the top of the mount, so they should allow you to set then flat well with the center piece out

No, it's rigid, and only works folded all the way out, otherwise ceiling would collapse

If you are trying to mount the tv in a corner of two walls this mount should work fine for you.If there is attic space above where you want the tv mounted you could also use a ceiling mount for the installation.

Is should fit most popular flat screen tv's. It is very close to the the wall, so I used the screws to fasten the mount to the tv, first.

I have my 70" Sony LCD mounted on this mount. It is cast iron, with no ball joint. It does tilt up and down, but probably not enough to mount on an angled ceiling. (could always go through ceiling and make a flat mountable point in roof joists??)
