Overview
AM40A is a full-motion arm rather than a fixed or tilt-only bracket. It anchors to a single wood stud, or to concrete or brick, then lets the TV pull out, swivel, and tilt from that one point.
The 180 degree swivel and 16.3 inch reach make this useful for a corner room or off-center seating. Because the arm hangs off one stud rather than a spread pattern, its rated weight and reach stay lower than mounts built for wider anchoring.
Who it's for
Good for a room where the seating is not centered on the TV, since the arm swivels a full 180 degrees. Not the choice for anyone who only needs a flat, fixed mount, since a tilt-only bracket is simpler for that.
Pros and cons
- 180 degree swivel
- Extends up to 16.3 inches
- Tilt range covers +10 to -5 degrees
- Mounting hardware and template included
- Single-stud mounting only
- Lower weight limit than some mounts, 80 lbs
Performance notes
Reach and swivel come from an articulating arm rather than a rigid plate, so the TV can be pulled forward and turned before it locks into viewing position. Because the whole arm hangs off one stud, its rated weight and reach are lower than mounts that spread load across a wider pattern.
