Simple design, easily adjustable.
Seems the way to make wall mounts look perfect with a tv is to allow them to hang via the weight of the tv. Simple screw adjustment for perfect level.
Looks great. More expensive than serious shopping, but best buy price matches!

Priced right, last years model

A tv is a tv is a tv?
This is last years model so the price was great for a Sony 65”. Also very light weight for hanging on a wall mount.
Only complaint is it is incompatible with DirectTV Now without a third party device, this is across all Sony products.
Excellent that it had the wall mount screws installed out of the box, no hunting for the correct size and depth!

Great product, even though expensive.
Convenient and sounds great.
Must be visible if you want to control volume with TV remote, can be hidden behind tv if you are willing to use smart phone on wifi as a controller.
Sounds great if you are not planning for home theater experience.
Great for streaming music. Updated regularly and tunes itself to the room with your help.

Sony and Google have teamed up, if you like them you are in luck.
It just so happens you don’t know which apps are available and which aren’t until you have purchased and setup. Unless you read and extensively study.
Good luck.

Mount your flat-panel TV to the wall easily with this tilting mount that features a locking mechanism for secure installation and a fingertip tilt that allows for smooth movement and optimal viewing.
 

When we moved we lost the plate that mounts to the wall. We still have the brackets that mount to the TV. Is it possible to get a replacement plate or do I need to by a whole new mount?

Possible if you can reach the manufacturer. This was sent to me to answer, Sorry I could not be more helpful.
At least you already have the bolts for the rails to the tv.

Does soundbar have to have mounting holes on back?

The mounting is through spaces similiar to a tv wall mount slot. #10/32 screws with counter sink heads are perfect and allow sonos to have room to mount.
Any obtrusion from a screw head will prevent sound device to adhere properly. Everything should be flush and even.

Will this mount work for a Samsung QN65Q70RAFXZA? VESA mounting for the monitor states 400 x 300, but the mount doesn’t state that it supports that pattern

Mounts are by size of device not pixels.
Check the size in inches or cm, and convert as needed. Hope that helps answer your question.
All tv’s have standard backplane mounting holes, although screw depths and pitches vary, mounts come with lots of optional screws and washers for adaptability, and 90% of the time its all in the box, once in a while, I have to go looking for a proper screw at lowe’s.

I'm looking to play downloaded music from my smart phone while using connect's coax output to my DAC. The DAC will feed a wired system What is the best way for connecting and do I need a booster? What does the ethernet port provide for connection?

The sonos output connects over rca. If you cut one end you can connect with the center wires if necessary. (PA system Voltage units often us wire)
Ethernet, places on your network and can act as a hub to a second sonos.
