My 65" Samsung was mounted on one of these at our old house.

Have a similar style holding a 55" Vizio [master br] & a 75" Samsung [back patio] at the current house

I have 3 of these: Harbor Freight TV wall mount. They’re meant for 16” center studs though. I had to go with something else for the walls with 24” center studs.

Instead of a wall mount, may I suggest a mount that goes on top of a console? or a stand alone tv stand? I think it gives you more flexibility for future changes should you change your mind.

Console top mount mounts 30-80" TVs. This is in our bedroom on top of a draer. The sound bar is on top of the shelf under the tv screen.

Rolling tv stand is what I have in my office for a 55" inch tv and this can hold from 32 to 85 inch tv. I bought hangers in the back to hold my sound bar.

I use this for an 85" tv in my living room. Rolling TV Stand for 32-85 Inch TVs The sound bar fits nicely on the shelf just under the tv screen because of its size.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

In my case, none of those would work.
Living room is mounted above the mantle [suppose I could maybe have put it on the mantle
Patio is above the back door
Master BR, no room for any kind of dresser/shelf to set the tv onto.

Also, being mounted keeps small hands & the errant flying toy from being as likely to hit the screen

Whatever mounting solution you go with, make sure when seated at the MLP (master listening position) your eyes or peoples’ eyes are center of the screen. Far too many mount it above a fireplace, and this isn’t good for your eyes or your neck.

Mounting, you can do wall, or you can buy a shelf entertainment center type piece of furniture that has glass shelves for things like Blu-Ray players, cable set top boxes, streaming devices like Apple TV, and a soundbar. Then it will have a rectangle piece of aluminum that is mounted to the back of it for you to hang a panel. I have one of these in my MB. Here are a couple of lower cost options from Best Buy. These are great because you don’t have to drill the Sheetrock/studs, and you have shelving for devices.

HT I have my panel in there wall mounted for distance viewing to the MLP. Living room has a telescoping mount where the panel can be pushed left, right, angled up or down, and can be moved from flush to the wall, with the telescoping arm, or pulled all the way out and angled in one direction or the other. An example of this would be something like this:

Good luck.

IF you decide to wall mount, I've had the best luck using GRK RSS structural screws to attach the mount to the wall. Four of those into studs is much easier and much more effective than the lag screws that come with mounts.

Ended up picking up the 58" Henisse Roku at Walmart for $249.

They love it. Got it set up. It is on a table and they seem to be satisfied with it that way vs a wall mount. We'll see how it pans out. It is just hooked up to an antenna. Once we got it set up it is really simple and has a great pix and the price is crazy. Thanks for the help guys.

Walmart bought out Vizio for $2.3B recently but I still have not seen the TV's in the local store.

I have two of them with the last one bought in 2010. The other one must be 20+ years old.
