42"TV, but less than 80 lbs: Do you think I could use this mount?
1822761
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.

No way - just like Jimmy said - don't do it. My LG 55" weighs 48 lbs & I don't trust it one bit. I'm taking it down as soon as my other mount arrives. 66LB load rating is false.

I agree with the previous post. My mount has a 23" LCD TV and it's fine for that. I tried a 32" but there was a lot of stress on the wall so I went back to the 23". A 27" would push this mount to the limit. Get the next size up.

I would personally not risk my 42" led tv to anything without a listed weight limit, so I would probably spend a couple of extra dollars for this (if it has a large enough platform). 3M Adjustable Monitor Stand, Height Adjusts 1-inch to 5 7/8-inch, Holds 80 lbs, 11-inch Space Between Columns, Silver/Black (MS80B)

The manufacturer says 32" to 47". I would take their word for it. Personally, I would think this mount would be over-kill for your tv. I am not sure but using the all the full functions may result in the tv not hiding part of the mount.

You should get a smaller one. I just hung a 42" tv and it was also very light but the issue was that the mount was barely able to be hidden behind it.

This TV mount as I remember was rated well above 80 lbs as long as it is mounted to the wall properly. My personal experience is it would hold at least 2 - 80lb TVs. It's a universal mountso there shouldn't be any problems attaching the hangers. I've had mine for about 2 years. I give it a 10 out of 10 rating! Sony 60"

I think it's for up to 37" or 39", but if the TV is less than 60lbs, I see no reason why this item shouldn't work

Thanks for the information! I plan to mount my 52" Samsung LCD (81 lbs) on the PFFP, I'll let the forum know how it works out, maybe send in a photo.

This mount is more known for its ability to hold heavy televisions than anything else. Rated for plasma. The plasma television I had was darn heavy. If the holes line up I would do it. Its rated for 165 lbs. I paid alot more for it too. Wow I just saw the price is incredibly low.

Should be on the website. I've put a 42 inch TV on one with no issue. Great mount, I own three of them. As long as your TV has standard VESA holes on the back you should be okay.

The Product description Says Up To A 63 InchTV. I Personally Wouldnt Try Anything Over A 42inch. I Returned This Particular Mo Because the Hinges On It That Swivel Were Bending When I Put A 90Pound Plasma On It. The Mount Is Rated At 135Pounds I Believe. I Would Advise Against This Mount.

I have a 27" LG flat screen on mine. I don't see why it wouldn't hold your television ( if it's not a CRT type) . If your television is less then 40 lbs , it should hold it without a problem

Yes you could mount a 40 or 42 on this stand, but me personally I would find a smaller stand for a 40 or 42 inch

What TV weighs 175lbs? Wow. I hung an old Philips that probably weighed that much with this mount. Just use decently sized lag bolts straight into the studs and it should work fine.

I would. This mount is a beast!! I have it for my 55" TV and it is great. This mount is pretty long as well, so the back of your TV is probably as long as this mount. If you look, Amazon should have a nice wall mount for a 32-40" TV.

Probably, if you have a newer LCD/LED lit TV that weigh less than 60 lbs. If you can't span 2 studs (16" OC), try the other VideoSecu mount which has a wall plate about 27" wide.
