Size Ranges for TV Wall Mounts Question

It’ll probably fit.

I have about 10 inches in both directions on my mount for my 65” from where the hooks sit.

Sounds about right, thanks.

Your wall mount is probably fine. They all use standard VESA patterns based on the TV's weight. Your 65 inch is probably 400mm x 300mm. And the new TV might be something like 600mm x 400mm. You could always just look at the spec sheet of the new TV and then measure the wall mount just to be certain.

The problem you might run into is the size of the screws. They're also based on the VESA standards and are bigger for heavier TVs.

Don’t do it. I went from 70 inch to 85. 85 is a tad too much. and I mean don’t get an 85 inch tv. Not talking about the mount lol.

We just went from a 55" to a 75" and it's pretty damn big. I don't see how we could go much bigger without rearranging the whole living room.

When you remove the old TV you can see what the model number of the mount and then look it up to be sure. I replaced a 60” with a 85” a few months back. The mount that I had was rated for the extra weight of the 85”. It’s probably good but I wouldn’t want my 85” TV falling off of the wall because I didn’t verify that the mount wasn’t rated for the extra weight

Most mounts have ranges and 55" is usually the cut off before the next set of sizes which is about as large as you can get. You SHOULD be fine. I would only be worried if you bought a cheap Harbor Freight mount but then again, you're usually attaching 4 large bolts to studs and should have no issues.

Buy a compatible mount and if you don't need it, return it.
