Mount Factory Heavy-Duty Full Motion TV Wall Mount - Articulating Swivel Bracket Fits Flat Screen Televisions from 42" to 70" (VESA 400 x 600 Compatible)

Mount Factory's heavy-duty full motion articulating bracket for 42" to 70" flat screens with VESA 400 x 600 compatibility.

Our score8.0/10

A full-motion TV mount uses an articulating arm to let you extend, swivel, tilt and angle your television long after it is on the wall. Unlike fixed or tilting mounts, it pulls the screen away from the wall and turns it toward different seats, corners or a kitchen, then folds flush when not in use. It suits home theaters and living rooms where the best viewing angle changes or where glare needs to be dialed out. When buying, match the mount to your TV's size and weight and confirm its VESA hole pattern, then check the arm's maximum extension and swivel range. Look for smooth, sag-free movement, sturdy steel construction, integrated cable management, and clear hardware for mounting into wood studs or concrete.
