Sanus VM200

Good morning, can anybody kindly guide me how to dismount my TV from the Sanus VM200 wall mount as I intend to paint the wall behind the TV.
I just need to dismount it for like a day. I did not use any padlock for any added security and have been figuring how to dismount it.
Below is the link to the manual

Thank you for your advise and help.

Can I check with u guys who have wall mounted ur plasma/LCD/led, did the contractor use screws or expandable metal anchor(sleeve / wedge anchor) to secure the mounting plate? Reason asking is because I bought a Sony led last year and the Sony guy who installed it actually used sleeve anchor. I understand that sleeve anchor can withstand a much heavier load than screws as it expand itself in the drill hole when tightening the nut. But I don't think we can ever remove this type of anchor when we decide to take down the mounting plate. It's just like the anchor we used for baby Yao Lan, once fix cannot remove.
Only way is to remove the nut and hammer the anchor deeper into the wall and hopefully flush with the wall and patch up the wall. Wondering any bros wall mount also using this type of anchor.

I got my Sharp 32" wall mounted at around $60. It's those fixed brackets, but can be slightly tilted left/right/up/down. If I recall correctly, those adjustable ones are around $150.

You can approach Best Denki,Courts/Harvey Norman to enquire. Don't get 'chopped' :)

Looking for a full motion mount for my 32' Samsung Tv in my master bedroom. I am trying to hide the cables and wires since the electrical point and cable will be quite a distance away. Any recommendation and I need to move the TV away from the wall & can tilt at an angle. Where can I get this type of mount? Only know the brand, Sanus.

Definitely Sanus!

I had a cheapo brand and after a few months, the joints got loose and the TV starts to creep.

Changed to Sanus and problem solved. After 2 years, the movement is still smooth. Changed 2 TVs since then and the universal mount at the back is reusable.

You get what you paid for! :)

Good article on wall mounting:
How to Choose a Flat Panel TV Wall Mount — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Choosing a flat panel TV wall mount can be a difficult decision because there are many different sizes, brands, and types of mounts. Choosing the wrong mount can cause you hours of frustration as you try to get it to work properly or just end up returning it and starting over. This guide breaks down the three most common types of mounts, full-motion/articulating, tilting, and low-profile, and then provides a few tips on what to look for in a good wall mount.
Full-Motion / Articulating

Full-motion wall mounts give you the ability to pull your TV out from the wall and swivel it any direction. They can also tilt up or down, and push back flat against the wall when you want. Full-motion mounts are great for corner installations. T hey also worked well for mounting a TV in old cabinets that were made for a deep CRT television. The mount can attach to the back of the cabinet and the arm will bring the TV flush to the front, making it look like the TV is floating. These mounts are typically more expensive and slightly more difficult to install than tilting or low-profile options. Some dual arm full-motion mounts can pull out from the wall up to 30” or more, while the less expensive single arm options typically come out about 10”. we recommend about a 20+” arm for corner installations of large TVs. Keep in mind that you will need longer cords with a full-motion mount. We recommend a minimum of 8’, but 12’ is optimal in most situations. You will likely use up about 4’ of cable by routing it in such a way that the mount can move without pinching cables. Another consideration is that even when pushed flat against the wall the TV will not be as close to the wall as with a tilting or low-profile mount.
Bottom Line: Great for corners, cabinets, recessed locations, and other situations where the TV needs to pull out and swivel. They are harder to install, more expensive, and require longer cords.
Low-Profile


A low-profile mount is used when you want the TV as close to the wall as possible. They do not tilt or swivel at all, but are typically the least expensive of any type of mount. Unfortunately, in some cases the TV is so close to the wall that you cannot get the cables to plug in. If the cable connections are on the back of the TV, facing the wall, you will need 90 degree adapters and will have to use spacers to bring the TV out from the wall. If the connections are on the side of the TV you are in better shape, but sometimes the cords can push the bottom of the TV out, making the TV tilt slightly upwards. Unless you need your TV as close to the wall as possible, we tend to recommend tilting wall mounts over low-profile designs. An alternative option would be to utilize a full-motion mount within a recessed cavity which will provide the cleanest look because the TV can be flush with the wall.
Bottom Line: Least expensive wall mount option. Easier to install than full-motion. Mounts TV closer to the wall than full-motion or tilting, on a flat wall. Cables might make the TV tilt up.
Tilting


A tilting wall mount is the right choice for most installations. It mounts very close to the wall; many tilting wall mounts are actually considered “low-profile tilting”. These mounts can typically handle more weight than a full-motion design and provide for easier installation. The TV does not actually move up or down on the wall, just tilts up or down and it cannot be pulled out from the wall. This is a great choice if the TV the being mounted above eye level.
Bottom Line: The best choice for most installations. Allows for the TV to tilt up or down. Less expensive than full-motion mounts, but more pricey than low-profile. Easier to install than full-motion.
Choosing the Proper Size Wall Mount

Wall mounts are typically based off of the VESA standard and can support multiple sizes of TVs. Essentially, the VESA standard dictates how far apart mounting holes should be on the back of a TV. Because of this standard you can look at the manual of your TV and see what the bolt pattern is, and then find a wall mount that is compatible. Most wall mounts list on the side of the box what bolt patterns they work with. This method takes out the guess work of wondering if a mount will work for a certain TV. Also check the weight that the mount supports and ensure the weight of the TV is within that range. By looking at weight and bolt pattern specifications you can determine what wall mount will fit your TV.
What Makes One Mount Better Than Another Mount?

As you shop for a wall mount you might notice that prices vary significantly between different brands and styles. It has been our experience that less expensive wall mounts tend to lack useful features that many more expensive mounts include. With that said, we have installed many inexpensive mounts successfully. Here are a few things to look for:

  • Level Adjustment - Some mounts will allow you to adjust the level of the TV after it’s on the wall. This is particularly useful when trying to level a TV with a fireplace mantle.
  • Locking Mechanism - Many commercial mounts have a spot for a lock to keep the TV from being stolen.
  • Precision Height Adjustment - Once the TV is mounted on the wall it can be adjusted up or down about an inch, this is useful when trying to mount a TV in a recessed area.
  • Hardware – Cheaper mounts tend to come with fewer bolts and lower grade lag bolts. Lag bolt holds the mount on the wall and low grade bolts can break while tightening them down.
  • Movability - Can you manipulate the TV easily once it's mounted? If you have to loosen screws to make adjustments as opposed to simply using your hand to tilt, pan, and/or extend your television you might desire something more ergonomic.
Conclusion

Ultimately, as long as the wall mount you purchase is rated to handle your TV you shouldn’t worry about the TV falling off the wall. All of the extra features we talked about are great to have, but not always necessary. The real trick is knowing how to install the TV so it is secure and looks good. There are a lot of specialty mounts not covered in this article. The best place to find detailed information is on the manufacturer's website. If you take a look at some of the major manufacturers like Peerless, Sanus, Chief, and Omnimount you should be able to find a solution that fits your needs.

I am getting 40" Samsung UA40E5500M maybe next month or so, currently looking for swivel wall mount for the tv. I just found out the huge price difference between the 37" & below vs 40" & above. Irregardless, I don't feel like shrinking my TV size anymore.

Many people recommend Sanus, after looking around the price is around $3xx/- after searching online, I found Tmart.. Anyone uses their TV mount before?

I have Samsung LED, and many times a thought of mounting it comes in my mind but I remember the incidence when I was at my friend’s home and his LED falls down automatically at 2am when we were in sound sleep. And now from that incidence I can’t think of mounting my LED TV ever. :))

I would rather stick to Sanus. I would not scrimp on a wall mount, especially a swivel one, to hold up an expensive TV.

You would be swiveling the TV a couple of times a day, imagine roughly a thousand times a year...

I have 4 Sanus mounts at home and they have not failed me in any way for the past 6 years. The mounts remained the same, only the TVs got changed.

Wall Mount for LG47LS4600

Hi, I just bought the LG47LS4600, and the LG people will be coming to help mount the TV on my wall. I believe the free mount provided should be a flat mount, but I am worried if it would be very difficult to maneuver wires behind thereafter. Do you all have any advice, and any recommendations for a fully articulating one instead? Also any recommendations on where to look for one e.g. Sanus one, and the rough price? Thanks!
