VIVO Counterbalance 40 to 70 in TV Wall Mount - Height Adjustable

In this review of the VIVO Counterbalance 40 to 70 in TV Wall Mount the bottom line is simple: this bracket is for anyone who needs a sturdy, easily repositionable mount for a medium to large flat screen, including above-fireplace installs. The single biggest reason to buy is the pneumatic counterbalance spring that compensates for the TV's weight, letting users raise or lower the screen smoothly without tools once installed. The reviewer found it particularly useful where frequent angle or height tweaks are needed for different seating areas.

Key Features

• Counterbalance Pneumatic Spring: Provides smooth height adjustment that adapts to the TV weight so repositioning the screen is effortless.
• Wide Size Compatibility: Supports most flat screens from 40 in to 70 in so it fits a broad range of living room and loft TVs.
• Solid Weight Range: Designed for TVs weighing between 17 lbs and 66 lbs which covers many LED and LCD models while ensuring the counterbalance works correctly.
• Full Articulation: Offers +10 to -15 tilt and +90 to -90 swivel plus 12.5 in of height adjustment for flexible viewing angles in varied room layouts.
• VESA Support: Fits common VESA patterns up to 400x400mm so it will mount most modern TVs without adapter plates.
• Installation Hardware Included: Comes with mounting hardware and step-by-step instructions to simplify attachment to wood studs or concrete/brick walls.

Who It's For

The mount is ideal for homeowners and renters who want a highly adjustable TV placement, especially those mounting above a fireplace or in a room where seating positions change. Users with screens from 40 in to 70 in that weigh at least 17 lbs will benefit most from the counterbalance feature for frequent height tweaks.

It is not the best choice for very light displays under 17 lbs (the counterbalance will not engage) or for extremely heavy displays above 66 lbs. Buyers who need a purely low-profile fixed mount or those wanting integrated cable management built into the arm should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well-made and sturdy construction that holds the screen securely at any angle.
• Excellent range of motion with wide tilt, swivel and a sizable 12.5 in height adjustment for versatile viewing.
• Counterbalance system makes raising and lowering the screen smooth and precise once set to the TV weight.
• Good value given the features, with included hardware for wood stud or concrete mounting.

Cons

• Installation instructions can be confusing for some users, so expect a moderate DIY effort or a pro install if unsure.
• Counterbalance requires the TV to weigh at least 17 lbs, so it does not work with lighter displays.
