VIVO Electric TV Ceiling Mount for 40 to 85 inch Screens, Large Flip-Down Motorized Pitched Roof VESA Mount, Master Pack, White, MOUNT-E-FD85W

Its slow going up and down but it works great!!! Very sturdy and easy DIY install

My bedroom was damaged by a leaky roof. I had to completely demo and remodel the whole room from the ground up. The room has one bedroom window, which houses an AC unit in the summer. I really wanted to have a new TV in my bedroom, but not one that was off to the corner, blocking the AC, or ultimately in the way whatsoever when we weren't watching it. I surfed the web for hours looking for something both affordable and unique I could do in the bedroom to have a TV that wasn't in the way.That's when I found this VIVO Ceiling TV mount on Amazon. As soon as I found out this existed, I had to buy it. In renovating the bedroom, I uniquely design the room to accommodate for the TV being mounted to the ceiling. I position both track lighting and recessed lighting around the room, and left a spot for the TV in the center, wiring up an electrical outlet right next to where I wanted to mount it to have the wires neatly hidden. It took me a couple months of work, but it came out great!The TV mount was all packaged very nicely with a clear set of instructions on how to install it. All theinstallation hardware was nicely packaged and organized. Installation went really well. Installation went well, and he best thing is, it came with a nice template for drilling out all the holes. One modification I made, due to the way my bedroom ceiling/framing is situated, I bought longer, heavy duty construction bolts to mount it rather than the ones it came with (they would have been too short to hit some of the beams in my ceiling). Mounting it was fairly easy. I attached the bracket to the TV, and had someone help screw it in while I held it (definitely a 2 person job for installing the actual TV). I bought a 43" TCL TV from Walmart, great, budget-friendly 4k TV's with Roku built in.It works great. It takes about a minute to fully extend or retract. Using the remote, you can set the exact angle you wanna watch TV at. The remote allows you to save to memory a couple different viewing angles you like, too. The unit only acted up one time when I first installed it, and unplugging it for a minute and replugging it fixed the issue.I love this TV mount, I just have nothing bad to say about it. I even found a clever way to mount a Nintendo Switch to the back/bottom side of the unit and TV with a couple zip ties. Overall this is a really cool thing to have in your home (or even business). If you have a unique location/place where this would work for you, I definitely recommend it! Just make sure you secure it well to the structure of your building, as it's a little heavy (even without the TV). Also be careful not to run into or bump your head into it while installing.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the Vivo TV Electric Ceiling Mount! The build quality is fantastic—it’s sturdy and feels very well made. Installation was straightforward, and once it was up, it made such a difference in my setup. The remote control is super convenient for adjusting the position of the TV, and I love the tilt options, which let me get the perfect viewing angle every time. It moves smoothly and quietly, and I feel confident my TV is secure. This mount really enhances the overall look and functionality of my space. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a durable, easy-to-use, and versatile ceiling mount!

I originally ordered a 85" TV to go with this mount, but the VESA mounts were so low on the 85, that even with extensions, the TV would hit the ceiling. When I shopped for a 75, I looked for VESA more in the middle of the screen. I hung this in my garage in front of my overhead door. I have a side opener, so I have open space. My rafters are 24" on center and this mount is designed for 16" on center, so I had to get creative with the mount. I spanned the rafters with two 2X4s. On that I mounted 3/4" plywood and mounted the mount to that. That extra step of adding the plywood made mounting the mount super easy. On top of that, I have a void above it, which is a great place to conceal wires. Leveling TV in down position is easy, but when it's fully retracted, the TV hung crooked. I contacted customer support, and they said that there is no solution and that is normal. I knew I could take the mount apart and change the length of a strap, but that seemed like a big pain, so what I did was I took a strip of Gorilla tape, about 1/2" wide and 10 or so inches long, and put it on the back of the low hanging side, closest to the top pulley and on the inside. This was just enough to change the diameter of the wrap as it went up and leveled it perfectly. It's a great mount for the price and I would definitely buy it again.

Bought the mount to use in a new covered patio setup. Mount motor works like a champ. While not directly out in the elements, the unit is subjected to high temps as well as humidity. Mount has held a 48" TV without issue for over a year.
