re: Adding a TV Mount to Brick Wall--How to Properly Support?

or do they seem to understand that when you extend the TV out from the wall it exerts much greater force (downward) on the supporting wall than a standard flush or tilt mount.
The downward force is always the same no matter where the tv is, but it does induce a moment when it extends out.
I have 2 tvs on full articulation mounts lag screwed into 2 studs each. i have hung on them and they are solid. no TV is bringing the mount out or the framed wall down.
now think if it like this. do you think you could kick a brick wall down or a few studs down.

Ramrod gets it. And VABuckeye gets it too. Arguing over semantics here, though.

I wish a counter balance would help.
I've been to BR 3 times... just too booked to see you.
Inommm, I will make time to see how my wall bracket suggestions work.
I dont remember if I have Alzheimer's or not.

That brick wall is only as strong as the mortar holding it together. I'm not concerned about the brick at all but I am concerned about the mortar. Neither you nor I know how well the mason did his job.
And the TV and mount do exert more force when the TV is fully extended. The top bolts will have more pressure on them. Even worse, it's a danger if a kid happens to grab onto it and hang as kids are prone to do. Structurally, as a professional integrator I'd make sure that I over built to avoid potential disaster.
