Review:

Does sunlight always reduce your viewing pleasure when watching your favourite show or movie because of the glare on the screen? Do you find yourself craning your neck to look up at your LCD TV because it is mounted high on the wall? Do you simply wish you could adjust the viewing angle every now and then depending on the height at which you are sitting? The Sanus Visionmount VMPL3B provides an answer to these common problems. It’s a tilting wall bracket, providing it with the freedom to adjust easily to the best viewing angle for you, while sitting closer to the wall than a cantilever alternative.

Until recently mounting an extra large television, even without movement, was an impossibility. The weight and size of these huge appliances meant that they were forced to rest upon stands, ready to be knocked over by a football or a trip. Nowadays there are many different alternatives for securing your LCD television to the wall, and the Sanus Visionmount VMPL3B is certainly a possibility. But is it worth the money?

Well the mount itself is constructed from pressed steel which is a light-weight material that is also highly durable and aesthetically pleasing. The result is a LCD wall bracket that will support any television up to 127kg in weight with no difficulty. And while the design itself is attractive, when set flush against the wall you will hardly notice its presence at all.

If you do decide to tilt the screen for the more optimum viewing angle then the inclusion of ‘set and forget’ knobs allowing you to secure the position will help. You won’t be fighting with the bracket each time you wish to adjust the position because it will already be conveniently in place. This upward and downward motion really does provide you with additional flexibility that may be lacking from some other models. However, you won’t be able to move your television set to the left and the right. If this is a required feature you would do better searching this site for cantilever or tilt and swivel models of LCD wall bracket.

Worried about security? Don’t be. The Sanus Visionmount VMPL3B even allows you to padlock the mount to the wall, should you wish to, providing that bit of extra protection for both TV and bracket.

Installation is no more difficult than with any television models of this size. While you may need additional help in lifting a particularly large TV to the bracket, the fitting of the VMPL3B itself is particularly easy. Your individual television will be compatible with this bracket if it is incorporated with the VESA mounting system, a set of four holes on the back of the set spaced into a rectangle or square. Get out the tape measure and check to see if the centres of the holes are less than 1000 mm (horizontally) and 600 mm (vertically) apart from each other – if they are, this wall bracket will fit comfortably.
