Mounting Multiple Flat Screen TVs dynamicmounting.com

The mount allows the TV to pull outward from the wall and then down and further away so that it clears your mantle. A handy guide is included with dimensions so that you know what the minimal distance is you have to mount it above the mantle (based on mantle depth) so that you will safely clear it. I have taken the lazy approach since I rent, not own and was not looking for a truly flawless installation as I anticipate moving someday anyways so I did not paint the covers for the mount.

Because I have a sectional sofa, I opted to spend a little more and get the “swivel” option as well so that I can also angle the TV when it’s pulled down. After a month of having this installed, I really haven’t used the swivel option as much as I thought I would (largely because I watch TV in the same spot on the couch and don’t host a lot of people), but I could see it useful if I did have a large gathering over.
