Doesn’t online ink companies like ink123 or other peripheral companies sometimes sell these for 30 dollar or less?chewbacca69 wrote: ↑ Seems like a recurrent deal according to CCC. Why would one choose this one over all the other similar one on Amazon?
So what is a better option?Octataral wrote: ↑ If you want to use this mount, do yourself a favour and make sure it spans 2 studs. Toggles are fine with flat or tilt tv brackets, but even a light tv pulled out is a lever to disaster.
The mounting part is almost 17 inches wide, with a usual 16 inch stud cavity you will have zero ability to move left or right and hit both studs. If you're lucky that's exactly where you want to mount the tv, and that happens about 1 time out of 10.
You can throw some wood up to span 2 or 3 studs and then mount the bracket to that. Get fancy and cut the drywall out to have it flush if you like, don't forget to paint the wood too.
Wood contrasts and expands at a different rate as drywall... Do you tape the joint? How do you make it look the same?Octataral wrote: ↑If you want to use this mount, do yourself a favour and make sure it spans 2 studs.

This is one of the reason I like a 24” mount if it works for the application.
Absolutely nothing. Thick or thin, they all hold up similar size TVs. What make it worst for these more expensive mount is TV are getting lighter and thinner.
