What are best options for wall-mounting the 75 inch F8000? Have wood frame wall, want flush (slight tilt), would like access behind after install

I'm dealing with the same situation except my Apt has drywall and metal studs over concrete. My neighbor had his HEAVY 65" Plasma hung by "Geek Squad" at Best Buy for $400 plus cost of mount. I'm too afraid to hang mine by myself so unfortunately I'm going to have to bite the bullet pay the $400 :) Good Luck 2 U !! Our 75" Samsung's rock !!!

I just don't like flush - I would do articulating- u can always get behind it - and turn it anyway u want - it looks very nice - floats a bit - it's a tv not a painting /

I have a Chief wall mount that recesses into wall for a nearly flat install. Works well to pull out from wallTo get to imputs. Cost about $400 plus install

Sanus XF228 is excellent choice, that is what I used for it. App possible adjustments including side/tilt/angle as well as pull away from the wall and pivot.

I have not installed mine yet but according to the instructions there are appropriately space holes already on the back of the unit for mounting to wall studs. You need to supply your own lag screws for that though.

You have to mount it using screws to the wall. The screws are very easy to strip, make sure to pre drill holes

I would recommend using 1/4" toggle bolts. And have them go into the stud, not just drywall. Use the stud as if it's "backing". I didn't like this mount Anyway. Doesn't tilt to the degree it says. And can't even put safty bolts in

Check to make sure the VESA dimensions work. Other that that, as long as your TV weighs less that what the FMX3 is rated for you should be good. I fully extended the mount and hung a 5gal bucket full of water and some weights, about an inch off the floor, overnight to make sure the unit could take it before I risked my 60". No probems but you might want to do the same to make sure your wall can take the forces involved.

Just something to think about. You can buy a ultra thin tilting wall mount, drill two extra holes to fit it to this stand, and now you have a tilting stand. This is what I did. If you're a little handy it can be done in about an hour. I'll try to post some pictures in a review I'm planning to write. The front feet stand out far enough that there is no danger of this falling forward.

I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt. I originally used a bracket the was moveable, side to side-up and down. I did not feel it was secure enough because of the overall size of the TV itself. The solid mount works great for my needs as I really did not have any reason I needed to move the screen. In addition, if you go with anything but a flush mount the TV will be several inches away from the wall its mounted to too allow for clearance of the back of the swivel unit. Takes away from one of the TV best features in that its so thin. Good luck. I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt.

Thanks, we moved a 42" Sharp and want to remount elsewhere. It is approx. 3.5 years old and weighs 68plus pounds. They used a Level Mount brand that weighs approx 20 # on its own and very complicated. we will be mounting on drywall and know we have to use studs. just wanted an easier solution. The mount that we took down is for TV's up to 200 pounds. Think this one may be overkill. But the TV is too expensive to get rid of. Thanks again.

For me, I made a custom [in-wall] frame for it to be mounted. There are holes behind the front mirror hinges, so I used those so that nothing could be seen for attaching to new wood frame. Very nice product, if it works for you.

i would think that it would be safer to mount to the wall, than to avoid possibly damaging the frame. which method is better? but i can see that it may be more appealing if screwed into the back of the frame.

My studs did not line up well either since I mounted mine in corner of garage. I did not use drywall anchors though; I build a frame using 1x6's which I think worked very well. It is super sturdy, and I wasn't worried about seeing the wood mounted on the wall since it was the garage. I have pictures of how I did it, so if you want to see them, just let me know. My email is jshook12@yahoo.com Good luck!

You must use the screws that come with the wall mount, they are small but its all you need.

I too had a VESA 200 X200 swivel mount bracket already on my bedroom wall. Went from 37 inch to 47 inch TV. Measured several times between holes on adapter plates. Long story short, could never get ALL the holes to line up just right to accommodate screws for my LG tv. Even with my neighbor helping, wound up scratching new tv. In the end, I bought a quality tv stand with shelves. Was able to screw hanger hooks into each hole and simply hang it on rack. Adapter plates may work for you. Worth a try and you can always return it. Got a prompt refund on mine. Good luck.

There doesn't seem to be a way to wall mount. I think the kick stand in the back would get in the way and there are no holes or anyway to secure a bracket.

I also just found out Amazon has a Wall mount bracket they charge you 35 bucks for... sheesh. I am sure that you could find something similar at a hardware store.

Yes, I did it with a Cheetah Mounts APTMM2B Flush Tilt (1.3" Profile) TV Wall Mount Bracket for 32-65 inch LED, LCD and Plasma Flat Screen TVs Up To VESA 684x400 and 165lb also purchased form Amazon. Ive added a Sonos Sound Bar beneath it (also on the wall). Looks great and the TV is only surpassed by some of the 4k's Ive seen. Love the Sonos too.

Joe Even though no wall mount you could probably use double sided foam tape if it needs to be wall mounted. I think there are some vent areas on the bottom and those would just need to be left clear of tape.
