Heritage_Head Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Wondering if anyone has some experience with this or knows anything about it. It will be for 70” lcd. http://www.discountedtvmounts.com/lam50 http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=lam50&source=web&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CC0QtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Da44P_rjDP8M&ei=o-k1T83RHcmRgQeYg_znBQ&usg=AFQjCNF3S5wQfIZK5JIpsdJNEJSJkhWz5A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoker2c Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I've been using thisMonoprice one for a couple years and love it...very solid all around http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082806&p_id=8586&seq=1&format=1#largeimage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psg Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I also use wall mounts from monoprice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted February 11, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2012 I bought two LCD wall mounts (40" and 46") from Monoprice. Could not be more pleased. Crazy that similar mounts at Sears and Best Buy were selling close to $100. Think I paid $20 for the Monoprice mounts. Very sturdy, very well made.

Heritage_Head Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I looked all over and monoprice has some great deals. But I wantone that extends and tilts as far as possible (I would like 30” extend) and canhold a 100lb 70” with ease. Also thereis a very good chance that in the next few years I will buy an even bigger flatscreen (up to about 100” would be nice) so I also want it to be almost overkillin stability. The lam50 seems like the heaviest duty one I have found thatextends almost 30”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoker2c Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 My Monoprice mount extends 26' and has held a 60 inch plasma (90lbs) easily and is very sturdy....just aFYI.....I have no worries it holding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoak Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I have four Monoprice wall mounts here. Very pleased with all of them. Hard to beat them on price. I'd call the overall quality good+. The quality of the supplied hardware (screws and whatnot) is pretty poor. I went to the local Lowes and bought more substantial lag screws than what was supplied by Monoprice. Even with that extra cost they were still a LOT cheaper than anything else I looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utard Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Here is another thing to think about. I got the sharp 70 from costco and just got a wall mount from them that was good for up to 150 lbs I think it was. The sharp is about 100 bls. It looked similar to this one. http://flatpaneltvwallmounts.net/wp-content/uploads/flat-panel-tv-wall-mounts-3.jpg If you notice it has a single bar out to the tv with a joint in the middle. While it holds the tv fine it seems wobbly. If you give a corner a tap the tv with wobble all around for a while. So I don't think this type would be good if you will have a chance of bumping it? I do not have the feeling this would hold up very well in a small earthquake. Or kids bumping it. Now that I have this I realize I would have much rather have gotten one like this. http://www.besttvwallmounts.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/best_tv_wall_mounts.jpg With the double arms coming out it looks like it would be a lot more stable with a heavier tv. But then again with the newer TVs coming out it would not suprise me if in 3-5 years a 100" tv will be 1/4" thick and 20 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I have the same TV. I want something super stable so I think I’m going to pay more and get the lam50. Watch the video I linked above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utard Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have the same TV. I want something super stable so I think Im going to pay more and get the lam50. Watch the video I linked above The way that guy grabs that and wings it around it looks super sturdy. I would never do that with mine. The single/single arms just seems too weak. After you get it installed you should check back with a review. That looks so much better than mine I might consider changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I ordered it last night so hope to install it next weekend (if it gets here by sat). I read a lot of really good reviews on cheaper one arm and even 2 arm stands. But when I looked at the few bad reviews on those stands it was always someone with a bigger than normal TV saying it sagged uneven and even bent the metal (I read one that it broke and the TV smashed on the ground). I wouldn’t want to move it around a lot but that video sold me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utard Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Sounds like I need to look mine up for a review. I would hate for it to just drop one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Plus if it fell it would probablydo some serious damage to my rc-64ii and other gear as well. So I would probably be out some serious coin. Afew years back I quit smoking so as a reward to myself I can buy a new flat panelevery year. I did it for a few years but I have kind of gone over budget alittle on the last few (started out with just a 37” vizio). So I’m doing itevery other year now. But I know my nextone will be even bigger so I definitely want the mount to be good for future TV’sthat are even bigger and possibly heavier.

merkin Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I just put up a Cheeta from amazon for about 80 bucks. I'm using it on a 59" samsung plasma. Very strong and easy to mount. Telescoping. I looked at a lot and for the price I wouldn't use anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
