Sorry you got a bunch of negative comments. Thank you for showing and explaining what you did, I am stuck as to how the bracket attaches to the mount, but I’ll check for another video. Thanks again 👊🏼👍🏼

[@Duces187]

Did u ever find out?

[@RossHutch85]

Hey , just use this video to mount a 55” LG CX and it was extremely helpful I appreciate it thank you

[@monyeatate9766]

I’m gonna get the c1

[@jperx]

Excellent video!!! It helped me easily install and mount a 40" TV using this exact model, thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

[@daveslim3692]

Thanks for video having trouble w the leveling screws for this mount any tips?

[@veronicaaaa3953]

Excellent although at the end I was hoping u moved the TV to demonstrate it's mobility

[@BTheInstaller]

We had a little more to the video that was cut out. I'm sorry. We will be making more, faster moving install videos. Thanks for the input.

[@williamshea4425]

On the final step of hanging the tv, is the only thing securing the tv to the wall mount gravity( hook)?. Also, tension screw... that's it? Worried about tv falling

[@ramoniribe6593]

Great video...easy to follow. Thank you 😊

[@jamesmissig9611]

Great instructional video, thanks!

[@aagalani]

Great video. Just wondering if tightening the top bolt to the wall, one should level and then tighten the lower bolt.

[@BTheInstaller]

I normally tighten the top bolts yes and then just drill, and bolt the bottom.

[@gjonesii]

Great video. Thanks so much for posting it.

[@BTheInstaller]

Thank you

[@terryf5131]

Yep...you the man. Very helpful..

[@iceskate6411]

They’ve added a template to the wall mount bracket. A lot easier for centering the holes and the leveling of the bracket.

[@BTheInstaller]

Good to know.

[@manuelybarra6069]

Great view of the tension screw

[@angelanaya82]

Would be great if we could actually see what your doing😒😒

[@BTheInstaller]

Check out... literally ANY other video, lol This was the first install video recorded by a lazy editor.

[@Space_dorito470]

Hi, i recently bought the same model but I'm having problems installing it. Your video made the frame that is on the wall easier to install but I'm having problems with the TV frame. I was wondering if you had another video where you better explain the installment for the screws and such.

[@BTheInstaller]

Yeah that was first ever video. You just place the 2 u shaped bars on the tv, find the screws that match, and then set the rectangle over that and screw it in to the u's. .... its similar to this bigger mount where I show how but not exactly the same. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4GwnpKnmKydnrc

[@MrDraper38]

I have a 50-inch Samsung with a Sanus and I'm installing it outside on stucco and cinder block wall. Also, I need about an inch off the wall do the TV will extend completely flat. Is it OK to mount a 2x4 or other wood to the wall 1st then the bracket? And if so what type of screw or hardware is used going into stucco a d blocks?

[@KaiTooSerious]

would you recommend the sanus 22-55 or sanus 37-90 for the LG oled C1 55” ??? or other option that’s better?

[@somchaykethkan5352]

I was wondering if the sanus 2964 is compatible with the 55” LG tv I put the brackets on back of tv. Hopefully I got the brackets on the right side

[@dorje51]

Much better than the previous Sanus installation video by the woman whose video, in my view, is not nearly detailed enough.

[@CorruptedStudios1]

This made it so much easier than the damn manual

[@BTheInstaller]

That was one of my worst videos as it was my first, but I really appreciate the view. I hope you subbed for more to come. The Samsung frame video from March is quite enjoyable. Thanks

[@noteworthyvids8093]

Great video. For 40 inch and other mid size TVs do you prefer to go with single stud mounts like this one or two stud mounts like the sanus slf226? For my install I have a stud centered on where I want the TV.

[@BTheInstaller]

Either will work. If you get a dual stud type you can pin the middle still. And add toggle bolt top left and right and its plenty strong. Many don't have that perfectly centered stud. I don't use these single stud mounts often, I normally use one with range so I can hit the stud where needed and center tv.

[@SourPatchKid562]

@@BTheInstaller do you think a single stud tv mount with 3 lag bolts can hold a 55in LG CX? Mounting Dream says it holds up to 99lbs Nd the CX weighs about 50lbs. Thanks in advance

[@BTheInstaller]

Definitely. I have the tvs on my wall alp on single stud and they're all 55

Thanks! Perfect help....

[@lilyg6136]

I have the same wall mount and a 55” Samsung that I’m trying to mount..my stud finder is giving me false alarms! When I put the lag screws in where it initially said there was a stud, the screws were starting to come out as soon as I tested it by moving the mount side to side like it suggested.. so now I’m looking for other studs in my wall, located them, but when I drill the bit in, I am not hitting wood or anything hard like I was told I should hit. I’m at a loss and now I’m regretting trying to do this on my own entirely...ahhh!!!

[@BTheInstaller]

You gotta find a stud with this bracket. I have a stud finding video. There are studs left or right of power outlets and normally 16 or 24 inches each way from there

[@lilyg6136]

B The Installer thanks so much for responding..I’m still drilling holes searching for studs..I think I may have finally found a stud?? It was a little harder drilling with the bit..so I’m now going to attempt to mount my mount with the lag screws and see if it does the same thing or not..

[@luptonpittman6520]

Use a magnet to find the drywall screws and then to be extra sure drill little pilot holes so you can find the edges of the studs

[@DNYLNY]

Omg the dustpan under the drill is so smart. I never thought to do that.

[@PkwyDrive13]

The issue I'm having is... Home built in the 70s, where my TV mount was, the studs are 8in apart where I need the mount, but then they're 16in apart but where I can't mount it.

[@pitufo2870]

Gracias me ayuda mucho señor

[@Andrez513]

Thank you man! this was very helpful and I was able to mount my TV.

[@steadfastpotato14]

Can you comment on the likelihood of hitting cinder block if trying to hang the mount on a wall that is a corner room? I am having trouble getting the drill bit to the recommended depth.

[@BTheInstaller]

Well what I can say is that you need at least 1 inch depending on the kind of mount. Any arm mount needs a typical 2x4 to sink into. So over 2 inches. When drilling, you should have a good idea of what is behind the wood. If there is space between studs, drill though drywall and check the depth. Even 1 5/8 drywall screws can be used to secure mount with washers... so maybe I'll make a video

[@PolymerJones]

Tips on hiding the power cord and connected cords?

[@mosesmike2700]

My wall has metal studs. How do I install SMF421-B1 bracket? What drill bits, etc. Thanks.

[@greenharbor1]

What good is it to show that installation having the tv laying flat

[@tpsaudition]

Good video

[@MsRhonda1964]

Can you mount this horizontally?

[@MsRhonda1964]

Im mounting 43 inch tv outside in a palapa bar, I need the mount to be horizontal to mount to wood beam. Is it possible to use this mount horizontally?

[@BTheInstaller]

No, it will just slam down. You can get a ceiling mount to hang from a beam or any normal flat mount with downward tilt can be hung off the bottom of the side of the beam and the tv, depending on the brand.. i have done this, I don't have image but both can be done

[@billwinch8481]

I don't the you need the lines to the lower hole. You just need to put the top hole in, at the right height, and on the stud. Then for the lower hole, just put your level on the side of the mount, and screw in the screw.

[@palealejedi]

NEED HELP! The instructions say I need a 1/8th 3mm drill and that the hole needs to be 2 3/4 or 70mm deep well my drill bit only goes about 1in deep do i need a longer drill bit or what? Im so confused. I thought i had the same mount in this vid but u said urs said u needed a 1/4 bit?

[@BTheInstaller]

You need to drill as deep as the bolt goes and the bit size would be the same as the bolt not including the threads. So the bolt and bit same size less the thread diameter.

[@palealejedi]

Mmm im lost i tried all night to get this tv up. Will try again tomorrow thanks for your help. U would think the drill bit size would just be clearly described in the instructions? also is there a sure fire way to know i hit a stud? My top bolt became loose after trying to readjust to better level and now i am not sure if its stud im pretty sure i see wood but the bolt just wont stay on. Maybe too much readjusting?

[@BTheInstaller]

Studs are very solid. If loose it could just be plywood which is thin and then bolts will not stay tight. Also the hole drilled could be too large. Needs to be exact. 3/16 and 1/4 are common. Be safe.

[@palealejedi]

B The Installer well my instruction manual says 1/8 why do u keep dodging that? I am using the same mount in the video and my instruction manual says 1/8 why are you saying 1/4?? Should i be using 1/4?? Thanks for replying i appreciate it

[@BTheInstaller]

Use the 1/8" bit then. I have no idea what your mount says. They change hardware and instructions over time. That was a video from nearly a year ago... should have info in the instructions.

[@jaredgarrick1606]

Is it just me or did he say use a 1/4” to drill the pilot holes? Manual says to use 1/8” and that worked great.

[@luptonpittman6520]

It depends on the size of the lag screw

[@oneshowoneservant]

[@waxdoe115]

It says no drilling. What do i find? Drilling.

[@slyr1]

What is the determend hight of the tv from the ceiling?

[@BTheInstaller]

I use what's under the tv, keep it within 8-12 inches from bottom of tv and then if nothing to use, I rarely put the top of a tv higher than 6ft.

[@steinfranken1108]

Good video, but you often stand too far away from the camera for the viewer to see what you are doing or you stand in the way. An instructional video should show all steps clearly for even the novice to see what needs to be done.

[@PolymerJones]

Overhead angle would have been nice

[@jennycraigadventures3314]

Nice video, but leveling part was what I was most interested in seeing, but you hid all that from the camera.

[@jianhongcai8540]

Hi, Just wondering for 65 inch TV. If the mount can't stand on the stud, is it possible for the mount just stand on the drywall with special bolt? Any suggestions?

[@atvking400]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@connoreastburn9701]

Great video only thing is don’t touch the screen

[@annettecamacho8658]

Thanks for the non tutorial. You don’t show when your attaching the brackets on the back of the tv nor do you show what your talking about when hanging the tv on the bracket. There are a lot of people who are visual and seeing the steps your talking about makes it easy. Your camera person should have known. Looking at the top of your head or your back does not help.

[@ufw_kevv]

I got it and it didn’t include bolts

[@BTheInstaller]

This mount has 2 black bolts with 7/16 head. Any bolts will do. Even large headed wood screws.
