55" LED to install. My stud is centered behind, with the next stud 16" either side. Will I be able to center my tv?

The tv mount in question has scissor arms and not a elbow type arm. The tv mount won't move side to side very much. Now, this is a real strong tv mount and is built really well. The hardware that comes with it is on the cheap side. I would recommend running some 2x4's or something across the studs and mount it to that. Also, you could cut the Sheetrock out and add some support to the studs. Hope this helps.

Lots of room for adjustmentarms fold both ways when pulled out from wallmove base left or right to catch two studs

I have the same wall mount. I have mine set up for two studs, although if necessary there holes in the center if I wanted to set it up for just one stud. I chose the 2 stud option to be safe.

I Would NOT recommend it. I have a 55" slim and I'm not feeling too confident in the hardware. The bracket turns and swivels with tightness. Your TV is heavy and wider. I'd pay a little more for the better quality.

That measurement was 6 7/16" on center, but the viewer hole is not in the exact center of that. So, you would need to measure center-to-center from the viewer hole to each screw hole location before drilling. (You could always just patch the old holes and use touch-up paint). Good luck.

I have samsung 60" led tv on it. It still has more spaces on each side. I'm sure it will fit your tv. Go for it!

You could mount the center of the frame to a stud, but would at least recommend the installation of large drywall anchors on the ends for added stability and strength. Personally wouldn't recommend a single stud on a large TV.

Predrill the mounting holes, hit the studs directly on, and try to have the fasteners enter as close to where the parts that attach to the back of the TV will hang on the wall panel and you should be fine. Since this is a low clearance bracket, if you do not have side hookups on the TV you might want to attach your cables to the TV prior to putting it on the wall. It gets pretty tight back there.

I'd recommend a larger TV console/stand if your space can accommodate it. 55 inches will overhang quite a bit.

Yes you could put the screws in the last holes and that would be 24 inches. I have mine at 16 because that is where my studs were! Most houses the studs are 16 on center, I've not heard of any being 24 on center, what I would do is use two 2x6s and run them across the 24 in gap and go from there! The only thing with that is your TV would be 1 5/8 inches farther out than just the plain mount!

I just used it for rear speaker probably would not fit 16 inch studs as a center speaker

Yes, I went from a 40" to a 55" Samsung smart tv. New tv weighs less than the old. These brackets are pretty sturdy. Don't tighten all the nuts until everything's in position.

If you have a stud you need to use 4 which is what I did and it works fine on my 42 inch, 55 lbs tv.

My studs were just regular 2 x 4's but it will totally depend on size of TV. The instructional booklet that came with these mounts really breaks down all scenarios. Plus it comes with a good hdmi cable and a mini level and several different packages of screws for tv. I also put cat studs in wall where I knew I was gonna mount to make it easier. So long as you screw the mount into the studs in all 4 corners it will def hold a 55"tv with no problem.

Two wall studs are needed 16" apart. The mount comes with lots of extra hardware to adapt to almost any flat screen TV.

Your wall studs should be every 16". I believe the mounting kit came with 4 ea black stud screws. I would center the mounting bracket on the center stud and use a stud finder to find the left and right wall studs and use the mounting screws on the left and right studs as well.

I was able to mount on 16" studs. There isn't much room after you hang tv so be sure to have all plug ins before attaching.

Yes, I hung a 46 inch Samsung LED. That is the biggest I would do with that mount.
