Who Should Choose the VMPL50A-B1?

Choose the VMPL50A-B1 when you want your TV close to the wall but still need vertical viewing-angle adjustment.

It is especially useful when a TV is mounted above normal eye level or when reflected light makes some downward tilt desirable, without the extra depth of a full-motion arm.

Virtual Axis Fingertip Tilt

SANUS Virtual Axis technology allows smooth tilt adjustment with light manual pressure. The VMPL50A-B1 provides approximately +8.5° upward and -10° downward movement.

This makes it easier to adjust the viewing angle or reduce glare from windows and room lighting.

Low-Profile 1.8-Inch Depth

The VMPL50A-B1 holds a compatible television approximately 1.8" from the wall for a clean, low-profile appearance.

Before mounting, confirm that your TV's rear-facing or side-facing power, HDMI, Ethernet, and other connections have enough clearance at this depth.

ProSet Post-Installation Adjustment

SANUS ProSet technology allows fine height and leveling adjustments after the television has been mounted.

This helps correct small alignment differences without removing and reinstalling the wall plate.

Side-to-Side TV Positioning

The television brackets can slide laterally along the wall plate, helping center the screen relative to furniture, cabinetry, a fireplace, or other room features even when the studs are not positioned exactly where the TV needs to sit.

Universal TV Compatibility

The VMPL50A-B1 supports a broad range of TV mounting patterns, including common VESA layouts up to 600 × 400 mm as well as SANUS's universal bracket adjustment range.

TV screen size alone does not guarantee compatibility. Always confirm the exact TV weight, mounting-hole pattern, and rear-panel configuration before installation.

Supports TVs Up to 150 Pounds

SANUS rates the VMPL50A-B1 for compatible televisions weighing up to 150 lb (68 kg).

Do not exceed the manufacturer's stated weight capacity, including accessories attached directly to the television.

Wood Stud Installation

The VMPL50A-B1 supports appropriate wood-stud installations with common 16" to 24" stud spacing when installed according to SANUS instructions.

The wall plate must be secured to structural support and should not be attached to drywall alone.

Concrete Installation

The mount can also be installed on suitable solid concrete or concrete block using the installation method and hardware specified by SANUS.

Always confirm the wall construction before drilling and follow the correct mounting procedure for the surface.

Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction

The VMPL50A-B1 uses heavy-gauge steel construction for a stable, low-profile installation while maintaining the flexibility needed for tilt and post-install positioning.
