Black Adjustable Tilt Wall Mount Bracket for 55 in TVs - Tilting

In this review of the Black Adjustable Tilt Wall Mount Bracket for Vizio E552VL 55 in LCD HDTV, the bottom line is simple: this is a straightforward, heavy-duty tilting mount for someone who needs a robust, no-frills solution to secure a mid to large flat panel. The reviewer found the mount especially useful for homeowners or renters mounting a 55 in set where a small downward tilt improves viewing. The installation is intentionally simple and the construction is sturdy, which makes the bracket a practical choice when weight capacity and easy alignment are priorities.

Key Features

• Scratch resistant finish: The black coating keeps the mount looking clean and helps hide minor wear over time.
• Wide TV compatibility: It fits most 36 in to 63 in LCD and plasma TVs, so a single bracket will cover several common screen sizes.
• VESA support: Supports VESA patterns up to 750 x 450, making it compatible with many 55 in models that follow standard hole patterns.
• Variable tilt: The 0 to -15 degree downward tilt lets users reduce glare and fine tune the viewing angle after mounting.
• High weight capacity: Toughened steel construction supports up to 165 lbs, providing confidence for heavier displays and larger panels.
• Complete hardware kit: Includes mounting hardware and installation instructions to make setup quicker when attaching to studs or concrete.

Who It's For

The mount is best for homeowners, installers, or renters who need a reliable, durable wall bracket for a 55 in TV and want the flexibility of a downward tilt to improve sight lines or reduce reflections. It is also a good match for anyone replacing a fixed bracket with something that allows some angle adjustment without a significant premium.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need full motion articulation, motorized adjustment, or a low-profile flush fit; this model is a tilting bracket and does not offer side-to-side extension or swivel. Also verify your TV's horizontal and vertical hole spacing before purchase, since the mount expects mounting holes 28 in or less apart horizontally and 18.5 in or less vertically.
