page305 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 So I just bought this 46 LCD that weighs 81lbs. I figure 81lbs plus 38lbs for the wall mount itself (description in the wall mount listings...) would be about 120 lbs... My question is: Is it safe to use the articulate feature up to the full 20"? My setup is this... an LCD mounted to the wall and 2 media towers that are 20" deep on each side of it. I'd like to bring the TV off the wall until it's flush with the tower cabinets but am worried about giving that much weight the extra leverage (20" worth) pulling on the studs (I'd probably use 1/4 lags that are 4" long). More details about my setup in case it helps...
