Mounting Samsung 55" LED LCD with single-stud mount?

[pg_rider]

Title says it all -- good idea with the mount below or not? All the specs point to yes (TV is 48lbs, mounting is VESA 400x400), but I'm curious about real-world experiences from people who've done it.

I've done them, they work fine. I used 3 3"x1/2" lags, no shields.

shouldn't be a problem at all.

I would make sure you hit the stud dead center though, use a really good stud finder, or use a drill and the tiniest drill bit you have to find the edges of the stud.

Well alright -- glad to hear people have done it! I will certainly drill "feeler" holes to ensure I'm dead center on the stud.

Let me ask this -- do you guys who've done it keep the arm "extended"? I would like to have my TV the full 24" away from the wall, so the moment arm acting on the stud mount is going to be significant. Still no issues with doing that?

Put 2 up, in corners, so the arms are extended out. Like I said, 3 bolts, no lags, center of stud. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!!!!!!!

Sorry for the hijack, But cobrea, I see you use errite cores. And I see you have your power cable looped through the one. Is that the proper way to utilizr them?

And exactly how much of a difference do you notice?

Thanks, and sorry again.


pg_rider, you should also check MOOPRICE.COM for mounts. or anything audio/video related. I have made many problem free purchases from them.

That looks like a double stud mount.

I think the product link has the wrong picture.

The cores are what came with the TV 's. Their LG commercial grade sets. I've not noticed any difference with or without.
