The 7 Best Full Motion TV Wall Mounts

1. JUSTSTONE Full Motion TV Mount – Best Overall

One of the main reasons why the Juststone Full Motion TV mount is our top choice overall is they made sure that their design was universal, such that the mount is compatible with most TVs—no matter if you own a 26-inch Samsung television, or a 65-inch, 120-pound LG model.

It only takes 30 minutes or less to unbox and fix the entire thing into the wall. Once your monitor has been mounted, you’ll enjoy a 45-degree swivel and a 3-degree level adjustment.

“Are the brackets heavy-duty and sturdy?”

Yes, and yes! This three-arm variant has been manufactured using cold-rolled steel to guarantee strength and durability. You’ll also be given anchors and screws to secure it to any concrete, wooden, or drywall. The only thing that we didn’t like about the screws is how short they were.

There’s something called a VESA that you should take into account while shopping for these types of products. VESA is an acronym that stands for Video Electronics Standards Association, and it is the hole mounting pattern at the back of your TV. Juststones is VESA compatible with any model that falls between 4×4 inches and 16×16 inches

2. BLUE STONE Full Motion TV Wall Mount – Best Value

The Blue Stone Full Motion Wall Mount is the best TV wall mount for the money. It can be installed in concrete or single wood studs, but not drywalls. It has a near-perfect center design, which supports VESA patterns that are between 4×4 and 16×16 inches. The mount can comfortably hold any TV that’s 28 to 60 inches wide.

Its bracket comes with dual arms that are designed to offer articulating movements, giving the consumer a ±90-degree swivel. Post-installation, the downward tilting angle will be 15 degrees max, with an upward angle of 3 degrees. They’ve also given us a 3-degree level adjustment, thus facilitating flexibility while at the same time guaranteeing an enhanced viewer experience.

Like most brands in this industry, Blue Stone understands that most consumers go for these products to also save space in their living rooms. So, they gave us a product that offers a 16-inch bracket extension, with a retraction of 2.6 inches. It’s truly the ideal model for anyone who’s into corner installations.

The installation instructions are very detailed but don’t include complex terminologies. They’ll help you mount it a lot faster, without breaking a sweat. This model is a great option, but the tilt adjustment still needs some improvements. Unscrewing and screwing back the screws in order to get the perfect tilt is just too much work if you ask us.

3. SANUS Premium Full Motion TV Mount – Premium Choice

If you’re the type of person who doesn’t mind spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a TV screen, you wouldn’t mind spending similar money on a product that complements it. The Sanus Full-Motion TV Mount will for sure cost a fair bit more than many other choices, but the good thing is, its quality is top-notch.

One of the features that contribute to its high price tag is the integrated cable management system. A system designed to completely conceal HDMI and power cables that might make our living spaces look cluttered. It’s because of this system that such spaces look sophisticated, as it ensures the mount blends seamlessly into your interior décor.

The other advanced feature incorporated into the design is the FluidMotion technology. Regardless of where you’re seated or standing, you’re going to get a cinematic view without feeling inconvenienced.

The mount was crafted using premium-grade steel and intentionally engineered using innovative technology. That’s why it automatically fits most standards and is UL certified—UL is an abbreviation for Underwriter Laboratories, which is a third-party certification institution. If a product is UL certified, that means it’s already been tested by the company and found to meet the safety and sustainability standards. The Sanus Full Motion TV Mount comes pre-assembled, so you know the installation will only take a minute or two. It also has special locking mechanisms to tightly hold your TV set in place.

4. ECHOGEAR TV Wall Mount for Large TVs

Echogear’s Wall Mount for Large TVs is made of alloy steel, with an articulating movement, and is compatible with Samsung, Sony, LG, and any other major TV brand that you could think of. There’s a very high likelihood that your TV’s VESA pattern will be accommodated in this design since it fits almost all the patterns on the market.

Installation is 20 to 30 minutes tops, meaning you’ll be left with more than enough time to work on other projects or catch up on your favorite TV show. With a correct installation, its retraction length should be 2.4 inches, and 22 for the extension. Of course, the 130-degree swivel is a smooth one, even if the mounted TV weighs 125 pounds.

We gave Echogear bonus points for helping us take care of the environment. This brand has made it its mission to increase the tree coverage on our planet, by planting one tree for every product sold. And they are always ready to come and help you with the installation, should you hit a snag.

The Echogear TV Wall Mount is not as pricey as the Sanus Full Motion TV Mount, but still out of reach for consumers looking for affordable products.

5. USX MOUNT Full Motion TV Mount

You can tell USX Mount’s number one priority was making sure that their product was more compatible with almost every television model being sold on the market. If your TV measures 26 to 55 inches wide and has a VESA pattern that’s in the 3×3 inches to 16×16 inches range, this is the mount to go for.

The adjustable view comfortability was the other thing that they paid close attention to. The leveling angle is 5 degrees post-installation, and the swivel is 90 degrees. The arms have an articulating movement as expected, with a 5-degree and 15-degree upward and downward adjustment, respectively. The wall holder at the back has been designed to allow you easily install and mount your TV set in any corner of your choosing.

They gave us all the instructions needed to safely install the product, including those that describe how the different screws are to be used. But we felt sort of disappointed to realize that they didn’t add any anchors.

The mount offers an 18.95-inch extension and a 2.81-inch retraction. Quite frankly, that’s more than adequate space for anyone hoping to make their space look neat. The brackets are made of steel and were produced using very advanced machinery. So, you don’t have to worry about durability.

In the package, you’ll also find spacers, washers, a couple of screws, cable ties, a bubble level, and a 10-year warranty.

6. Mounting Dream Full Motion TV Mount

The Mounting Dream Full Motion TV Mount is yet another model that doesn’t discriminate when it comes to working with different TV brands—as long as your TV weighs less than 100 pounds, and is not more than 75 inches wide. The VESA compatibility is 24×16 inches maximum, which means it won’t bar you from investing in a large monitor.

Your viewing experience will certainly be upgraded with this product, as it offers a 45-degree swivel and 4-degree level adjustment. It’s designed to deliver a 15-degree downward tilting angle, to help you reduce the glare emanating from the screen. You’ll be working with retraction and extension measurements of 2.5 and 16.5 inches, respectively.

What about safety and stability, you ask? Mounting Dream knew those were going to be issues, so they incorporated robot welding technology to quell our concerns. The mounts brackets are now very strong and sturdy, and the wall plate has an E.V.A. (Extreme Vibration Attenuation) pad that’s tasked with cushioning the screen against any form of vibration.

Installing this mount will certainly be a breeze. The instructions are very simple and there’s a paper template that’s supposed to guide you in case you don’t understand what’s meant to be done.

In the box, you’ll also find Velcro strips for cable management, spacers, and screws. There are no anchors, but you could ask for them at the customer service desk. The warranty period is 10 years.

7. PERLESMITH Full Motion TV Wall Mount

Last, but certainly not least, we have the Perlesmith Full Motion TV Wall Mount. And what drew us to this model was the ultra-safe sleek design that’s meant to protect your screen from tipping over, should someone accidentally bump into it. You could install it as an ordinary mount or a corner mount, depending on your preference.

Installation takes a couple of minutes as the instructions are very easy to understand. The mount is made of cold-rolled steel, which was wielded by automated robotic equipment. The joints are very flexible, giving you a simple level adjustment.

Perlesmith’s full motion TV mount has a +/-90-degree swivel, but you’ll only get to the max angle with a relatively smaller screen. The tilting angle range from 5 degrees to 12 degrees, which is pretty standard. You could mount it on a single wood stud, concrete, or brick wall. They also provide spacers to ensure everything fits right.

The only issue we had was with the included screws. Some of them were shorter than we would have liked.

Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Best Full Motion TV Wall Mounts

The common misconception in this market is that all TV mounts are similar. If you’re experienced enough, you’ll know the functionality is what actually defines these products. And they greatly differ in that aspect.

That’s why it’s important for every consumer to do some due diligence before spending their hard-earned money on any variant. This buyer’s guide will act as your compass, should you feel confused or undecided.

TV Size

Size really matters in this industry, so let nobody convince you otherwise. The mounts are available in a vast range of sizes because TV screens are also available in different sizes. Big goes with big, and small goes with small.

Then again, it’s not always that simple, as we’ve come across mounts that look small but can accommodate wider screens. The good thing is that manufacturers always make the point of reminding consumers which types of mounts are compatible with different TV sizes.

VESA Patterns

The patterns will either be rectangular in shape or take on a square format. We always prefer working with full-motion mounts because they don’t put too many restrictions when it comes to these arrangements. You can find one that has a square pattern, or an alternative that’s rectangular. Just don’t forget to check your mounting holes before purchasing.

Type Of Wall

The anchoring system is what determines the type of wall that the mount is to be attached to. In the current market, most of the full-motion mount iterations have a system that can be installed on wood studs, concrete surfaces, and also drywalls. But to be sure, you have to check what’s written in the description.

Material

You already know this is all about durability. Steel is a durable material, but we have different types of steel. Are we talking about alloy steel or stainless steel? Both of them have a laundry list of pros and cons that we have to look at.

For example, alloy has a higher strength-to-weight ratio but is more prone to corrosion. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is anti-corrosive in nature, but scratches easily.

Price

We often like to compare the prices of various brands and models just to get a rough idea of how much we’re supposed to spend, to get the best value for money.

From our experience, there’s a possibility that you might land on a product that’s very good in quality, and doesn’t cost you an arm or leg, but not known due to the brand’s passive marketing strategies.
