VLF525-B1 Bolt Hole Measurement Critical
on November 8, 2014
Posted by: BobA
from Torrance, CA
Gender:Male
The vertical spacing measurement between the Top and Bottom bolt holes is critical, otherwise the bolts will not align with the center of the slots in the Wall Plate. Best to verify that the vertical spacing between the slots on the Wall Plate template match the spacing of the slots on the Wall Plate before drilling holes. There is very little margin for error.
Pros: Good Quality, well designed
Cons: Expensive, more emphasis on mounting bolt spacing measurement
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great except for wire management
on December 12, 2015
Posted by: j525123
Gender:Male
Wire management can only hold about 2 normal size HDMI cables and 1 power cable, but the cables can still be partially visibile. Disappointed in the wire management, but overall, a great, sturdy product that looks much better than cheaper models available at the big box stores.
Pros: Good Quality, Easy to Use
Cons: wire management
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Easy to Install.
Box Contains all necessary hardware.
Sanus needs to change the hole configuration in the bracket that mounts to the wall.

What a Pain
on April 23, 2014

I've had several issues with this wall mount so far, and it's not even on the wall yet. The first problem I had was with the bracket that attaches to the TV. I don't really hold this against Sanus too much as I apparently have an odd TV. The problem, was that after using the spacers in order to lift the mount off of the back of the TV (had to be done so that I could plug in power and HDMI cables), the screws they provided were not long enough to reach the threads of my TV. I had to go to a special screw store in order to get screws long enough. The second problem came when it was time to drill holes in the wall. I live in the US, sadly that means we use the standard system (I know, I hate it too, but what can I do?). A 7/32" drill bit isn't hard to come by, but one that can drill 3.5" deep is. No store in my area sold 7/32" drill bits that would drill deep enough (the longest I found was 3"), so now I'm waiting on a drill bit I had to order online. Since I had to order it online, I went ahead and ordered a metric 5.5mm bit. It seems to me that whom ever designed this thing, did not take the US market into account for standard measurements and hardware requirements. I also think the directions are lacking. I had a Bell'O mount before this one, and the directions for that mount were phenomenal. What should have been a one day project max, has turned into a week long ordeal of buying additional hardware in order to mount this thing to my wall. I will not be recommending Sanus to my friends until their measurements take US standard measurements into account (or until we finally switch to metric; not likely, but I can hope).
Pros: Good Quality, it's solid, once up it will do what i expect i'm sure
Cons: Expensive, Difficult to Use, non standard us measurements, directions are lacking, on top of the price i had to buy more hardware, needs more hardware options for the tv mount
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not LG OLED55B8PUA friendly
on February 23, 2019

I purchased this unit many years ago to mount my Pioneer PDP-5071HD Plasma TV. The mount worked great for that 50" 75lbs TV with speaker attached to TV, very secure and easy to install. Well that TV finally took a dump after 12 years without any issues.
I did my research on a new TV and checked the Sanus website to see if the wall mount was compatible, and it was/is. I followed the online interactive measuring guide. I found it to be very inaccurate. As I wanted the new 55" TV to be the same height off the floor measured from the bottom of the TV. It was essentially a 1 inch difference (livable) from the from the old TV to the new one. Basically, I could leave the mount exactly where it is and it would match the location within that 1 inch livable difference.
Not the case at all, the bottom of the TV is 6 inches higher off the ground, showing the Release Cord, and when I tried to adjust the horizontal brackets to make it work, the center perpendicular bracket would be visible from the bottom of the TV. The mount should not be visible at all. I can live with the Release Cord being seen. Also the lbottom horizontal bracket impedes the Optical Digital Audio Output and the LAN connections.
I'm at a Crossroads do I modify the bracket at this location to accommodate the plug risking any/all warranty, or do I not utilize my Pioneer ELITE AV Reciever? Definitely not going to throw $ away on a soundbar. It's not Sanus fault at all they could not possibly know where LG would locate the connection panel future models. So for now, we'll see if everyone can deal with the TV being 6" higher.
I gave it 4 stars because of the lower horizontal bracket being in the way and the visibility of the perpendicular when set at its lowest setting, and the inaccuracy of the online interactive measuring guide. Basically, the bottom bolts that attach the mount to the wall, whatever height that is, is what the bottom of the LG OLED55B8PUA TV will be.
Overall, still worth it.
