How is the tilt function? I need this to extend and be able to tilt downward for viewing while in bed.

I view mine at a desk so I have it tilted to that comfort level. In looking at the back of the mount, it looks like you need to use a wrench to tighten the nut to lock into the position you want to view in, so it is not something you would want to change often. It would depend on how high you mount on the wall as far as viewing comfort with the angle you would have but it probably would work. Just not able to adjust by your hand alone, you would need to keep a wrench close by to adjust if needed. I love it for my purpose.

The tilt function is manual; you have to loosen a bolt to tilt up or down. I believe it will tilt enough for what you need.

There are a couple of screws at the bottom that you will use to adjust the tilt. The tighter the screws, the less the tilt. if your TV is 50 inches +, you will need a long screwdriver to reach them.

No there is no tilt option. This kit is literally a set of universal "legs" to replace the original stand that came with your TV. As a mount to stand your tv on a table top these are perfect. If you need a tilt, then I suggest you look at a wall mount.

I haven't actually tried it in bed; but when I use it while sitting in an easy chair, I place it on a pillow on my lap and then adjust the angle. I suspect the same technique would work in bed.

The neck of the pedestal is solid, so there is no way to change positions; therefore, it always tilts down. I believe this is to ensure the clarity of the picture, as I've noticed that when I am standing, I can hardly see the screen at all (too bright).

I found the tilt feature very handy connecting the HDMI cable (which could be cables plural depending on your set-up) that I had running out of the wall via a powerbridge set-up. I also used it to ease plugging in the power cord which was plugged into already mentioned powerbridge. Regardless, with a TV of the size you are mentioning I would think the tilt feature is near essential to accomplish any connections once TV is hung, unless you have really long and skinny arms...hahaha. The last part was a joke, but seriously it will be handy. Keep in mind, once everything is connected you can put the TV at a neutral position and then lock it down. Hope this helps you with your decision. Cheers!

Yes, it does adjust slightly to tilt up and down. But these do NOT work like the Ultrasharps that can be used horizontally and/or vertically. It's got a wonderful, clear large picture at a reasonable cost. I bought this for my father and he needed a screen large enough that he could see at his desk. So far, he loves it.

The tilt can be set at any angle. If you are using this bed-table on carpet , it would be better with larger wheels for easier movement. Good Luck!

The brackets that hold the TV to the mount have the tilt adjustment. It would be difficult/impossible to adjust the tilt if the brackets are flush mounted (no clearance to turn the screws that lock down the tilt). You might be able to do it if you space the brackets off the back of the TV. I think, though, what you want is a different mount that would do this more easily.

To tilt it you have to be fully extended, but after the tilt you can move it to the position you want.

Unfortunately, this is one disadvantage of this mount, you must have the tv off the mount when adjusting to one of three tilt settings. I have mine tilted to the max!!

I don't have room to tilt it down that much so I don't know. I bought mine for the length of the arm and since it is level with the eye so all tilts are fine , although minimum for me.. sorry.

I just got mine last night... viewing angles aren't as great as LCD's, that's for sure... left and right as well as up and down. I really didn't appreciate just how big this thing was going to be til it came in. I have it up too high and you can notice the difference pretty easily from having your eyes on level with the center of the screen and being above/below that point. I have a chair that is about 45 degrees and you can also notice the picture dim compared to sitting straight in front, but its not too bad. I wouldn't want to sit at much more of an angle than that though. I'd say its got about 90 degrees of solid viewing and then it starts noticeably degrading. You're definitely going to want to sit as close to head-on to this thing as you can get with your eye-level near the center though. I think the up/down viewing angle is worse. Very happy though overall... Kind of shocked what I got for my money. I was looking to get the biggest best TV I could for under $1k and frankly, I ended up with more than I bargained for.

The monitor is fantastic for general use, but if you want an adjustable stand, the stock stand only has tilt, so it might be better to look elsewhere

It tilts many different ways. Won't slide off. My 52in flat screen is my computer moniter now. I use the table for my key board and mouse.

The level of tilt is adjustable. I think it would work for you purposes. My wife likes it so much she wants me to get another one.

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff
