Is there enough space directly behind the TV for a plug to be plugged into a socket? I have a socket directly behind where the mount will be placed.

LaDonna, There is enough space for your socket for the power cord from your TV. My socket is located under the second cross bar and centered between the two verticle bars. My HDMI runs behind the wall. No wires can be seen when watching the TV. It's nice.

I cannot say and here is why... The circuit breaker box is to the left of where the mount is on the wall. When my house was built, the box was installed in my family room instead of the basement. So, I am nt able to push the tv flush against the wall. Sorry I couldn't help...

Use a stud finder to find a stud near where you want the mount. There should be another stud 16" away in each direction. I always drill a pilot hole to make sure there's really a stud in each location I intend to use. I wouldn't recommend using hollow-wall anchors for this because it is quite heavy even without the TV.

The TV will stick out from the wall about 3-4 inches or so when this is pushed in as far as it can go. So, it is definitely not going to be flush or 1/2 inch from the wall. There is room to put your hand behind the flat panel TV to adjust things if needed. It creates a look like the TV has a drop shadow, which may or may not be appropriate for your particular environment.

First of all, I removed the base from the TV. I can't remember if the holes for the base are the same ones used for the mounting bracket. Other than that, the bottom 2 holes should be located 5" and 8" from the right side of the TV when looking at the back of the TV. I took the measurement from the "inset" where the phono jacks are located NOT the right side of the TV itself. The holes are located about 1 1/2" up from the bottom where all the cables go into the TV. Maybe the company has decided to plug the holes so they are not easily seen. If you don't see any holes, maybe it is a manufacturing defect. We really like the TV and would not hesitate to buy it again. Write again if you have any more questions.

I don't know exactly what your tv looks like, but there's holes in the back and it doesn't fit flush to the back of the tv so even in areas where it wasn't completely open to the ports, I could still get the cords in there.

I put mine behind the TV. I live in a valley. We only get 3 channels. We live in Tulsa. Hope this helps.

Yes. That is what I did. My TV hangs from the cabinet above. It attaches to the mounting holes on the back of the TV. All modern flat screen TV's have standard VESA holes in a variety of spacings. This mount has all of those standard spacings. That is why you see so many holes in the mounting plate.

I am not sure, I don't have my tv mounted. I think if you have long enough bolts to go through all the hardware it shouldn't be a problem. I have mine mounted on the top instead of the bottom as shown. When mounted to the tv there is about a 1/2" of the bracket sticking out, it is L shaped with it flat against the tv. I really like mine, it has placed the center speaker where I wanted it without blocking my 3D sensor.

There's enough clearance back there for a cable, so depends how far the plug sticks out. There's 2 bars that screw to the TV vertically, you'll see the holes for this on the back of the TV. These bars then attach to the mount with maybe .5 to .75 inch of clearance between the back of the TV and the mount. You could also use the washers included or buy some to add space between the brackets and the TV for more clearance (they're used for curved TVs). Should be fine but call the company for exact dimensions if you're super concerned.

Our tv is somewhat flat about 2 inches think and there are still 2.5 inches of room between the TV and the round steel tubes on the mount. Hope that helps.

depends on the dimensions of the outlet. the space on the back plate is only about the size of your hand, so if the outlet is bigger than that I wouldn't risk it, or I'd find another place to mount.

The kit comes with an extension cable that connects both ends of the outlet. That cable is approved for running behind the wall. Your "power cables" would remain outside the walls. The one from the TV goes into the top outlet and a separate power cable goes from your electrical box to the bottom outlet.

Oh yes, indeed. It's a bit large and tends to cover up more than its share of a double outlet plate, but yes the plug is right in the back of it. And if you had the right converters you could take it abroad!

I used it for a Panasonic plasma TV. Worked great but it's an on wall bracket not in wall. There is a 4.5 inch space behind the TV but it's very strong and it's universal for positioning

It's possible, you would hVe to purchase a mount or make one yourself , the av type of screw on would be facing down in this case because the cable of the surge protector is pretty think and not easy to bend. The one I own I have laying flat behind my tv

Clearance is minimal on the rear. If the ports are straight-in plugs than you will have some difficulty. If the ports plug in sideways on the back you may be able to plug them and then hang the TV on the mount. Hope this helps.
