TV mount question (weight vs size on TV)

quote:

I assume I am good since I am under weight even though it says up to 55" TV and should also match from a VESA standpoint?

Thanks

Yeah, the specs on older mounts probably took into account what TVs weighed 8 years ago. My 50 inch Samsung I got last spring only weighs 25 lbs. I used a mount I had already and it worked great. I forget what VESA size it has, but my mount had two flat bars that I bolted to the holes in the back of the TV, then they click into a track mounted on the wall. It is very slim and hugs the wall pretty close. Had to get all the connections in before I attached it.

Just make sure that your current mount is attached to the wall with fasteners that can support the 74 lbs.

Its a shame you have to tell people this, but its necessary.
