Are the screws given in this sufficient to hold a 60 inch flat screen? Or do I need thicker or longer dry wall screws? Thanks!

Find 2 wall studs and measure how far apart they are. In the US they are 16 inches apart. Buy a 1x10 and cut it 1 inch longer than the width of your studs. Mount the 1 x with 4 of the supplied lag bolts, 2 lag bolts on each end into the studs now bolt the mount to the 1 x. I purchased 6 more lag bolts like the one in the kit and used them on the mount.

Our TV is a 55 inch & it was sufficient. The quality is very good. Our TV is 55 LG smart not sure the weight. Hope this helps

Yes, according to my husband the screws that came with it were long enough. Our TV is 60" and we have had no issues. He says they are LAG screws

I thought about it, then I moved my TV over so I could line it up with the stud. There is just too much weight on this, even empty, for it to be trusted hanging from just anchor bolts in dry wall. I would avoid it if you can.

This can be installed in dry wall no studs required. I can confirm, it will hold the weight it is advertised for.

We mounted into drywall. But I also used anchors rated for 60#. Works well.

This thing is a beast. I mounted a 65" LED, not a problem. I think it should handle any of the large flat screens, limited only by what you are attaching it to the wall with, and what type of wall. I made sure to use lag bolts (included) and pre-drill into the wall studs.

I couldn't find them anywhere, including VideoSecu's web site, however, you should be able to mount this with just the info on the pictures included here. The mount comes with tons of generic installation hardware, including some heavy duty screws for bolting to a stud. It also comes with plastic drywall anchors, but I would not use those for primary support, personally - there are better items out there. In my case, I had a stud in the center of the wall that I connected to, and used the drywall anchors strictly for added stability. You do want to make sure you anchor into studs. Bear in mind that an articulating mount puts different stresses on the wall and mounting hardware than a flat wall mount does - once you extend the arms, the forces on the top line of bolts will be similar to using a crowbar to pry them out rather that straight shear force. Also, note that if you have metal studs their load-bearing capacity is much lower than wood studs would have, so plan around that. Check YouTube for lots of installation videos on wall mounts of all types - much of the information there is applicable for this product as well.

I have it holding my 70" sharp TV. I don't extend it from the wall for any reason but it seems to be able to handle it with out issues. It's secure and I think it could be pulled out and still hold but I don't have any reason to do so.

About 1 1/2 ". I suppose you could use shorter screws in wood. We mounted them into the drywall using the plastic mollies and 1.5 " screws.

You shouldn't have any problem. It is highly adjustable for any mounting pattern and comes with all the needed hardware to mount the TV. Comes with spacers (if needed) as well as multiple screw sizes. Very sturdy unit..will easily accommodate 60".

Your question is either about the screws going into the wall or the flat screen TV set back. The screws going into the wall are in a line, with two screws at the top of the bracket slightly offset from one another. Correct placement of the bracket over a stud is crucial for the units ability to hold up a heavier flat screen TV. On the TV side, the receiving screw holes in the back of most all flat screen TVs form a box, or even two boxes. For my Samsung 40 inch LED, I did not use the arms (sticking out of the four corners of the plate extending from the wall. Use of the arms was not necessary. For larger sets, connect the arms and secure the set to the appropriate holes in the extended arms. The larger the set, the more likely you are to use the holes at the end of the arms. You will use four (4) screws to hold the set against the wall and the set against the plate extending from the wall.

Sorry, ours is not a wall TV. No screws needed. But we love the TV and would buy another if needed.

Check to make sure the VESA dimensions work. Other that that, as long as your TV weighs less that what the FMX3 is rated for you should be good. I fully extended the mount and hung a 5gal bucket full of water and some weights, about an inch off the floor, overnight to make sure the unit could take it before I risked my 60". No probems but you might want to do the same to make sure your wall can take the forces involved.

The kit came with an assortment of metric screws that should work for most if not all TV's. I used lag bolts to mount the bracket to the 2x4 studs. It's holding up an 80" TV.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall.The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Oh yes it will hold up a 65" TV. I have a 55" TV on mine and the TV wall mount does not even budge. The way you mount it on the wall is the key. I got mine to locate and mount to 3 studs in the wall. I am an over doer and to make this bracket mount to 3 vertical studs I relocated 2 holes on one end of the bracket. A great TV wall mount for sure and the way I have it mounted one could possibly do a few chin ups on it also.. LOL!!! J/K, not suggested but this TV wall mount is GREAT!!! Remember the TV does not have to be exactly center of this wall mount.

We put two into studs and used two drywall sleeve anchors for the other side......we had a 32 inch Tv and weighed only about 12#.Plenty sturdy..

It says it can hold up to 65 inch. If there is a bracket on the back of your TV it should. We had to go to Lowes and buy screws to mount our 60 inch.
