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.

Our phones~ screens are the windows to our digital world, and we want a seamless experience as we swipe and type on our Apple iPhone SE 3rd Generation (2022), SE 2nd Generation (2020), 8, 7, 6s or 6. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So, we created Glass+ to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected.
 

Is this the one that has the blue light filter? I believe it's called, Glass Elite VisionGuard+.

I’ve never seen blue, but no one but me can see the screen!

Hi, bought this for an old computer so I think I need a BT dongle but I also have good cobratype computer I wanna use ibut can't seem to figure out if it came with BT. Does anyone know if those types of computers come BT or an easy way to check? TY

Do you have bouetooth symbol anywhere on the computer you referenced? If so you maybe able to simply turn it on / off with that key plus an fn key.
No bluetooth symbol anywhere...check system properties for bluetooth.
The answer gets more complex from here...I once bought some cheap bluetooth dongles from ebay...they were garbage...

Only at Best BuyInstall your flat panel television easily with this Sanus TV wall mount. The ProSet adjustment feature keeps your television level and at the perfect height.
 

The instruction manual for my BLF228 states that when installing on wood studs, they must be a minimum of 16in apart. My studs are 13 inches apart will this impact installation?

If you do not have studs the two options at minimum.
1: use toggle bolts, works great.
2. Use a piece of 3/4 plywood fasten on the studs. Mount your Sanus to the plywood.
3. Off set with one side in the studs and one with toggle bolts.

CAN I CONNECT MY CDV-1000 LASER DISC PLAYER TO THIS RECEIVER

Best Buy sent this to me to answer.
I have no idea what type of connections/output are on the back of your LD.
However; you can see the back of this device on their website.
Hope that help.

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.
 

overall width dimension is important because im mounting it with studs 35”apart

Option 1
Use a backer board.
Cut 3/4” plywood to fit to studs. Mount to plywood.

Option 2
Use wall anchors designed for sheetrock I use 3/16 spring loaded consistently and without issue. I use washers to keep the screw from going through the wall mount, a pair of needle nose to hold the washer and allow the screw to penetrate the anchor spring until enough to grab and secure to the wall. (Just tight)
