How many inches does the tv rest on the wall in the flat mounted position? Is it too large for a 42 in tv?

The back of my samsung 55" TV is 4-1/2 inches from the wall, taking into account the spacers between the bars on the mount and the TV. These spacers are part of every set-up, and depending on your TV may be more or less than about the 1/2" depth they are on my TV. This is a tremendously strong and well-engineered TV mount, and certainly over-kill in terms of the weight of a 42" flat screen TV. However, it is one of the few mounts that extends as far as it does (21" I think) and that is very important for my installation. It is also incredibly stable and vibration-free at full extension, and very easy to tilt and swivel. So you have to think of it as a high end, well engineered, smooth-functioning piece of equipment which is great if you want a hi-quality installation: A Bentley even more than a Cadillac . That said, it might be over-kill for many installations.

It is currently used for a 39" TV but there is plenty of room on it, it would probably easily handle a 42" and maybe up to a 46"/47".

We have our 42" Vizio mounted on it with no problem. Can't say about your specific TV though.

I'm assuming by the TV model number that it is either a 52" or a 64" TV. If yes I highly recommend this wall mount. I have a 65" hung and mine is a Vizio smart TV which is quite heavy and it handles it very well. Also installation is very easy and straight forward.

Not sure bud. My tv was 66lbs and sagged pretty badly. It's not the base plate that goes in the wall, it's the extended plate that the tv rests on. I would *guess* that 30 lbs might be ok? I went with. $200+ peerless mount and am MUCH happier.

I just ordered this through Vine, and plan on testing it with my Panasonic 42" which weighs 64lbs, so I will definitely report back. But according to another review there are plenty of extenders and hardware, so the mount should line up on 42" TV's. But I'll definitely let you know, as well as write a review.

I put a 39" Samsung and it held it fine. Even could have gone 42". Just make sure the tv is under the 26lbs it claims to handle. I personally think it could handle 30lbs. It is a very solid stand. No pic on here can show you that it is a truly well built. For the price, I have seen very similar stands go for 3 times the price.

I'm quite sure it will support your 42'' plasma tv. I have a 32 inch samsung flat screen, and it looks like the stand can take a heavier weight.

My TV is 46" and I use the screws that were include in the wall mount and have no problem with it. It has been over six months with no problems.

I have a typical 50 inch Sony flat screen, don't know it's weight but because the bracket sags 2 or 3 inches I wouldn't recommend a TV larger than 40 inch screen.

My tv is 50" and heavy and it holds it like a champ. I think 42" would fit even better, as my tv is very heavy and the back bends a little so it's tilted VERY slightly. But it's a great stand and you literally need no tools like it says. As I said, I have a 50" on it, so you shouldn't have an issue. For the price, it really was made nicely.

G. Josefowicz,42.5 is the official width of the TV. I'll look into the description and see about making sure it's accurate. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. --Mr. S

I have a 46" on it and it does just fine. There is a center piece between the two open slots so weight is not a problem. I suspect you can put any size TV up there you would like.

Hi Tia, If this helps I have a 42 " TV on the top of mine as well as other small electronics on the shelves. It is a very sturdy unit.

My TV is currently sitting on the shelf and it fits fine. I believe my TV is a 52" flat screen. I havent mounted the shelf on the wall yet.

The last page of the instruction/installation manual lists the total weight limits (when installed as described with the 6 long wood screws in wall studs): 90lbs on the top shelf; 20lbs on the middle shelves. 20lbs on the lower shelves. Clearly the TV does not need to be mounted. I have a 42" sitting on the unit.

I have a 42 mounted on it and so I have plenty of flexibility, obviously I am not sure what you are mounting on it but I know that this mount is solid and most if not all reviews on many different sizes TV's seem to work on it with no issues.
