It is ok (safe) to mount the tv so that it is not centered on the mounting plate? I want the mount to be centered on the wall, as well as the TV

I have a 50" RCA LCD mounted on this wall mount all the way to one edge and extended all the way out. This is a very solid and sturdy bracket assembly. I was very impressed with the craftsmanship. Your focus should be the attachment point to the wall. Without a doubt, make certain that you have this braced on the center of two joists. At a minimum, the attachments should be held to the wall (into the studs) with 4 - 3" lag bolts.

As far as i know, if the TV's weight does not exceed the maximum allowed, it's fine to mount TV off center on mounting plate. Make sure you secure TV mount to something secure like wall studs or concrete.

I have my 55" Led TV at a 90 degree to the wall mount at full extension It is pretty much solid

Yes. I first bolted a 3/4"x12"x32" oak board over the sheet rock and into the studs. Then I bolted the tv mount to the oak board. I would say as long as you are bolting it into the studs you are going to be okay. Do not even try to just use sheet rock anchors. Go and buy 3" hex head wood bolts. They are a couple of dollars for a bag of six. You first have to mount a portion of the bracket onto the TV. Then while it is still off the wall figure out where it will sit best.

Yes. My 47" tv is attached on almost the furthest setting towards the end of the mounting bracket.

You could mount the center of the frame to a stud, but would at least recommend the installation of large drywall anchors on the ends for added stability and strength. Personally wouldn't recommend a single stud on a large TV.

no, it is a little off-center. you can put the mount together, mount it on the tv, with the tv on a bed and determine how much off-center it actually is.

It is NOT on center when pushed flat against the wall. The T.V. plate is about 1.5" to the right (or left), so you would want to compensate for this.

i would also like to know, how high from the base the tv would be with the mount in the top position? i don't want my tv mounted too low.

Yes, the base comes off and the TV can be wall mounted using standard wall mounts designed for its size and weight class. Mine is mounted on the wall currently with no problems.

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 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.

No, the TV has no mounting points to safely mount it on a wall. To have it on a wall you would have to build a shelf or ledge of some kind for it to sit on.

Not sure what you are trying to do. Are asking about the plate that mounts to the back of the TV? If so it should be in the center so it is balanced and should line up with existing mounting holes in the TV where you can attach the TV with screws from the bag received with the mount.

Sure.....if you unmount it first :) There's no way I can see that would allow you to attach it without taking the TV off the wall.

I'm not sure I totally understand your question. I had to mount the tv in the corner and it works very well. If I were not putting it in the corner I guess it might stick out a bit too far from the wall. I think the mount is designed for both mounting plates to be used. i am not sure that just one side would be strong enough to support the whole thing. let me know if you have any further specific questions. overall it is well made and i am happy with the purchase.

The center of the mount on the back of the TV is a little off center to the stud mount that goes on the wall. It's not perfectly center. Plan on measuring a few times. I ended up not using a stud as it wouldn't be where I wanted it. I used a few drywall anchors and it worked how I needed.

No, the center of the tv is roughly five inches to the right of the bracket center that connects to the stud in the wall. I wish I could provide a photo as I just took one of the bottom of my television with my smartphone. This is, of course, very important for people who need/want to mount their tv in a specific location.This became a bit of a problem for me since I wanted to attach one of those floating vertical shelf brackets for my blu-ray player, etc. directly and centered under the TV using the same stud. I can still do it using butterfly clamps through the drywall but that's not as secure as drilling through the stud in the wall (like I did for my tv).

I will probably go a total of 90 degrees, but not 90 degrees each way. Assuming that the wall extends each direction from the mount, your TV will simply hit the wall due to the arm not extending out far enough. If you mount it on a corner, near where the wall terminates, the mount should be able to rotate the 90 degrees, however.

The TV is VESA compliant so I very much suspect you will not have an issue. Mine is flush to the wall with a pretty standard thin bracket.

To answer your other question, and based solely on my extensive reading, people usually mount it BELOW the screen (either actually hooked to the bottom of the screen or right below the tv if wall-mounted, or just in front of the tv if on a stand, which is what I will be having).
