Helping mom pick her next TV. She is obsessed with how closely it can be mounted to the wall.

I have the 65" and the face is 2 1/2" from the wall using the "Cheetah Mounts APTMM2B Flush Tilt". The video on Amazon shows the back of the set. The power cord is on the left side (as you face the back) and does have a low profile 90* angle so it will fit but it is important to place the hole in the wall in a location where you can reach it. The bigger problem with the close fit will be things such as CAT5 & optical audio out, you can't bend optic fiber. This is where I made a large hole in the wall for easy access from the storeroom behind the wall. Once the TV is mounted it would be very difficult to access any connections from the front.

The power cord has a 90° angle and sticks out about a 1/2 inch from the TV.This TV will go flush flat against the wall. The power cord will not be a problem as there is no wall mount that is less then .5 inch .

I don't know exactly what your tv looks like, but there's holes in the back and it doesn't fit flush to the back of the tv so even in areas where it wasn't completely open to the ports, I could still get the cords in there.

I have made my TV perpendicular to the wall when it's up. However you can adjusted the angle when you pull the TV down it has three different setting, as far as I can tell

The cord is flush with the bottom of the device. The illustration has been cropped and only a half inch or so can be seen above the power switch. It can be wall-mounted using staples to hold the cord to the wall if getting the cabinet closer to the wall is the objective. Even if the device has a straight plug, there are inexpensive adapters that allow for a side connection.

The back is parallel to the front. Looking at the displayed picture, about at the end of the tv the back angles forward. This allows you to kitty corner the tv at various angles. You can put this stand flat against the wall but you probably be able to see the unfinished back edge unless you block it with some other furniture or speaker. I hope this helps.

To clarify my answer, I would need to remove the TV because it's a very tight behind the TV and mounted pretty high. It's safer to remove the TV first.

The cord sticks through the slot in the vent cover. As it sits flush to the floor, they only had two options for attaching the power cord: (1) stick the end through a slot, or (2) make one end of the cover "solid" and have a hole to push the cord through. Same result in that the power cord would still be sticking through the cover, although one way would have decreased the surface area of the "slots". Very quiet and we have been very happy with it. We have two of them in the master bedroom. Along with putting a reflective/filter film over the windows, it has made a real difference in the temperature of the room.

The power cord is on the opposite end of the cord manager. That's the gray colored piece of plastic in the picture. I'm not for sure which end would be considered top/bottom. If that doesn't help the power cord would be at the top of the picture Amazon provides. As for the cord manager, I personally don't use it. It's designed to pop up so you can run the multiple cords under it then press back down to lock them into a neat, tidy group of cords. It doesn't work for me since you run the cords up through the bottom side (based on Amazons picture) of the device. This would require the device to be situated behind whatever components you are plugging into it. I have mine to the sides of my components. It would require bending the wires to get them down there to cord manager. Having said that, I've been using this surge protector for 6-8 months and have had no problems with it.

The 'T' bolt you see in the picture at the lower right actually locks it against the wall. When you push the tv back both arms become parallel and the 'T'bolt slides up a ramp and drops in a hole at the back of the tv mount. To release it you have to pull the bolt down. I mounted a 32 " TV on mine and the bolt hangs just slightly below the bottom of the TV. You will need about an inch of space for the bolt to drop down and if you have a large TV you may have to reach behind the tv from the bottom preferably to grab the bolt and pull it down. It is very solid and does work great.

You can position it many ways. You can push it up against the wall and it will stick out about 3 inches from the wall. But remember, this is an articulating arm. It is designed to pull out and rotate right or left, up or down. There are other simpler wall mounts which are not articulating and I would guess they are 1.5" out from the wall. If you wanted, you could take just the TV bracket frame that you see sticking out and mount it to the wall itself. The two vertical brackets that bolt to the large TV are "hooks" which sit down on the bracket frame. The TV can then be slid a limited distance left or right and under each bracket is a tightening screw to lock it down. But if you are going to do this, you might as well buy a cheaper wall mount that has no articulating arm.

Hi. I recently purchased this TV -- the 40" and needed an articulating wall mount because I wanted to put this TV in the corner of my bedroom. First, I ordered the Peerless PA740 Articulating Wall Mount for 22" to 40" Displays (Black). It says it fits a 200x200, but it didn't fit this TV. So, I sent it back. Then, desperate because the TV installer was at my house already, I ran over to Costco and bought one they had from "Simplicity" for $159 (after going to Fry's and Best Buy -- the only mounts which fit this TV according to them were well over $300). The Costco mount was awful. It had poles that went horizontally across the back and stuck out (such a shame because this is such a pretty streamlined TV!). Plus the piece which attached to the wall was huge and unattractive. The installer installed it with the Costco mount but I was so unhappy, I started searching for a better one. I found one on ebay. The piece which attaches to the wall has just two screws and the mount piece which attaches to the TV fits great (and is very unobtrusive). The seller even specifically says this mount fits this exact Samsung model (the UN40B6000). It was just $79.95 and I'm pretty sure the seller has more for sale on ebay (plus free shipping and I bought it using bing and got cashback). Just had my installer come back this morning and put it up and it works great! Love it! Here's the listing on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380208466202&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT. If that link doesn't work, search for articulating wall mounts for Samsung LED TV on ebay and the seller is "allmounts." Hope this helps!

Flushed/collapsed, it sticks out about 2-3 inches. If you look at the picture, between the outer part/bracket and the base that screws into the wall is a zig-zag arm that allows movement for the TV. I mounted mine in the corner and adjusted the arm so the TV is caddy cornered and centered in the the corner. I hope this helps out. I would also recommend getting some good drywall heavy weight anchors because the mount is on the heavy side and then you add the TV. I have the white PVC type anchors that you screw into the wall and then the screw goes in...each one holds like 75lbs. I put like 6 mount/anchors for extra stability.

It needs to be a little bit away from the wall. For me, I'm using an extension cord that the cord comes out the side and has flat profile. Then I can push it all the way to the wall.

Most TVs have plugs on the back but they're on an inverted shelf so that when you plug in a cable they hang straight down. If this is the case there should be no clearance problem. If the plugs direct the cable straight back into the wall there may be a problem but you still have about 2" to work with. Best of luck.

I would suggest having someone else mount your tv if you cant figure this out! Look at the picture.the arm with the verticle bars (||) mounts to t.v the other arm mounts to the wall.youll probably have to go to your hardware store and buy a few nuts and bolts and washers though. I had too with mine.pkg didnt include what i neede.once you mount it though you will be extreemly happy with it. Even have jealous neighbors!

The plate installs flat against the wall I don't see how this would be possible nor safe.As another potential solution you can move the plate. I moved the plate directly behind the tv then installed the bar power cord in that hidden outlet. You can also buy a strip from Home Depot/lowes to hide the power cord as a cheaper solution.hope this helps.

I was looking at the bracket again this morning and maybe there is a way. There are two brackets that screw to the back of the tv, usually they go vertically, if you attach them horizontally it should work. This approach would work with just about any mounting system since they all seem to work on the same principle. The only thing that changes among them is if the tv is fixed or is allowed to swing or move side to side. If you don't need the tv to move, save yourself some money and just buy a fixed mount. Hope this helps.
