What's the maximum tilt for wall mount for 47" LED LCD tv

by JayByrdz - 1/24/12 8:17 AM

I have a 47" LED LDC tv and need a wall mount that will let me tilt it A LOT (~50 degrees).

Is that possible without spending nearly as much on the mounting bracket as on the tv?

I will only be watching from one position in the room, so I don't need all the extras, like an arm to extend the tv closer to me, or swiveling it to the right or left. Just gotta tilt it down--way down, and the maximum tilt I've seen is 20 degrees, and that won't cut it. <div>
Any suggestions?

While I've seen such an install, no HDTV maker will honor the warranty in such installs. Yup, it did work fine for years but is that issue about the maker not saying it is OK going to stop us?

That hadn't occurred to me, that the tv manufacturer wouldn't be comfortable with their tv's being tilted so drastically. I think I remember some flat screens tvs not being able to withstand being upside down or laid flat horizontally. I didn't connect that with my issue. Sigh. Not sure how much risk I want to tolerate regarding my brand new really expensive toy. On the other hand, high up on the wall really is the only place I'd want to place it. Grr....

Thanks for the info.

Jay

At least it's not Plasma.

http://www.pioneer.com.sg/storefront4/ContentDetail/FAQ.asp?ContentId=373&NextOrderId=4 notes "No" to upside down. They also have written No to 90 degrees. There may be a good reason for that.

As you have LED LCD, the issues are different. But a maker would still walk.
