1. SELECT A SUITABLE TV
Although the SportsArt External Mount TV Bracket is designed to accom-
modate most flat screen TVs, not every flat screen TV is suitable for use
with this bracket. Complicating the situation is the rapid development of new
varieties of flat screen TVs. The following is a general guide for the purchase
of flat screen TVs that will work with the external mount TV bracket. Please
note that this guide is no substitute for actual installation of a flat screen TV,
which is the best test of compatibility with the TV bracket.
The following notes refer to the illustration below. Please note these tips for
selecting a suitable flat screen TV
Top left: Maximum height: 345 to 475 mm; maximum width 70 mm (flat), 60
mm (curved)
Top middle: Screen keys in the lower front area might interfere with the
bracket. Connectors facing downward are acceptable if the cables will not
interfere with the bracket.
Top right: Connectors facing the back will interfere with the TV bracket.
Bottom left: The TV bracket will accommodate flat screen TVs with standard
M3 or M4 screw sizes and holes placed from 75 to 100 mm apart.
Bottom middle: Screw holes that are too high may not allow for a secure fit
against the TV bracket.
Bottom left: A protrusion around screw holes would not allow for a secure
fit against the TV bracket. And having low screw holes may not allow for a
secure fit against the TV bracket.
Before installing the TV bracket, measure the height of your selected TV to
make sure a suitable slider is installed.
*Short slider is suitable for TV with height: 275 to 395 mm.
*Long slider is suitable for TV with height: 340 to 475 mm.
