I have the MM540 (one level below this), and just like this one... the back of your TV is 5.7" away from the wall. Although the functionality of these is excellent... no one ever shows this mount from the side, because I think it's a bit of a deterrent to see the face of your TV sitting 9" off of the wall. If your going to install one of these... I'd suggest that you reconstruct your wall to incorporate a pocket for concealment of the arm/mount. This way your TV can sit flush to the wall.
What is a pocket of consealment and how can I achieve this. Just bought this mount and before I installed it I was considering if I’d like how far out it would be
@@alfiezavala3815 ... If you have room to construct a surround wall for your TV and then drywall it... you could recess this into the wall. You could also reconstruct an existing wall (like above a gas fireplace), and if it's load bearing... add in a header for support (like a window) and recess the TV into that. Both options may be above some skill levels, but it's entirely feasible and not too difficult. Good luck.
Been checking your videos and thanks for sharing. I am planning to buy an 85" and use the MM700 over a mantel that is 5.5" in depth, I am also planning to put a soundbar on the mount. I want to mount it as close as I can to the mantel since I don't want to raise the TV up further, how many inches am I allowed from the mantel to the bottom of the handles (I want to install those) of the MM700?
If I have my power outlet right in the center above the chimney, do you think I can install the wall bracket a little uncentered and then correct that sliding sideway the TV? Would the whole structure support this unbalanced set up? Thanks!
"swivel" is the side-to-side articulation. "Tilt", which this model also does is for the top TV edge to tilt forward which relatively has the bottom edge go "backward"
@@morefire1966 ... there are couple of models, depending on TV size. I have the one that fits a 75" TV. I don't recall the model number, but I think it drops 28"??? If you go to their website... they have all of the info on distance from the wall, drop, etc...
wow that shitty flat panel antenna behind the TV LOL, such an expensive home and TV and mount and they are using that garbage, how about getting a nice long range rooftop antenna mounting it on the roof or in the attic and connecting it to a networked tuner like a HD homerun or a fire TV recast and getting a 4k fire stick or an nvidia shield or other android TV box for the TV instead of that crap
I live in a rural area and cable internet isn't offered. Many people can satisfy their need for programming via satellite or internet streaming services through satellite, but those cost a lot of money ($100+/month with low data caps). Some people don't want to pay that and choose to use the HD tuner inside the TV to pick up over-air, local, HD programing for free. That's likely the reason for the "shitty" flat panel antenna.
@@footnotedrummer i didn't say not to receive OTA channels , i said if you are going to do it then get a decent antenna i am cord cutter myself and i am using roof top antenna and i have it connected to a fire TV recast and i have fire sticks on all my TV's so i only need one antenna, it doesn't cost anything to use a networked tuner you don't need cable internet because i am pretty sure the streaming from the recast goes over local network but there is also a the HD homerun networked OTA tuner too but you don't even have to use that you can just use an antenna but not that crappy pancake one, a decent roof top one and you can mount it in the attic if you don't want to go up on the roof and if you live in a rural area then you would definitely benefit from roof top antenna , those pancake ones aren't going to do shit if you are far out from the stations also the benefit of using a fire TV recast and fire TV sticks is that you can get OTA wirelessly without needing to run a coax from the roof antenna to the TV and to every TV , you just connect the antenna to the networked tuner and then the OTA channel get rebroadcast over wifi ,so no wires going to the TV other that power for the fire stick
@@andreamitchell4758 ... Ah.... very cool. I guess I misunderstood your rant. I apologize. I never knew that you could set up a wireless connection to your antenna without running cable. That's fantastic, because the house that we bought out here a few years ago has an enormous antenna in the attic. They must have installed it during construction. I can't run coax to it without tearing the house apart. The house is filled with spray in foam, and the wires that used to run from the antenna throughout the house have all been cut. Thanks for this info! Who woulda thought that I'd get this kind of info off of a TV mount video? LOL
@@footnotedrummer yes just get yourself a fire TV recast , it is the easiest way ,it is all wifi you don't even need to connect it to your router with an ethernet cable ,it just needs to be plugged in To a wall outlet and then the coax from the antenna needs to be connected , then you connect it to your wifi with the fire tv app It's also DVR Then get fire tv sticks for the TV's you want the get the OTA channels on It even works with alexa from either the fire tv remote or any echo device , you can ask it to tune to whatever channel by voice ,even without the remote if you have an echo dot or other echo speaker
