monTEK Ultra Slim Full Motion TV Wall Mount for 43-90 Inch TVs: specs

The monTEK Ultra Slim Full Motion TV Wall Mount (model US-DS-TM1003W-L) is an articulating bracket for 43 to 90 inch TVs. Its main feature is a folding design that sits just 0.77 inches from the wall, yet extends to 9.84 inches when you want to angle the screen. This page covers what the specs mean and what to check first.

Slim when folded, flexible when extended

Many full motion mounts leave a visible gap behind the TV. monTEK says this one retracts to 0.77 inches (about 2 cm), so the screen sits close to the wall like a fixed mount. Pulled out, the arms reach 9.84 inches (about 25 cm). That is a modest extension compared with long-arm mounts, which suits a TV that needs turning rather than pulling far into the room.

Swivel, tilt and levelling

The mount swivels ±30°, tilts +3° to -15° without tools to reduce glare, and allows ±3° of levelling after installation. The headline listing figure of 60° of swivel is the total range across both directions. Check that range against your seating layout before buying.

Weight, TV size and VESA

monTEK lists a capacity of up to 143 lb (65 kg) for most flat or curved LCD, LED and OLED TVs from 43 to 90 inches. VESA patterns run from 100x200 up to 600x400 mm. VESA is the standard spacing of the screw holes on the back of a TV. The brand says the thickened dual arms are steel and were tested to four times the maximum load. Confirm your TV's weight and pattern in its manual.

Walls and installation

The listing says the mount is designed for 16 or 18 inch wood studs, concrete and brick, and warns not to install it on drywall alone. Included are instructions, a bubble level, a drill template, cable clips and pre-labelled accessories, and monTEK says installation takes about 15 minutes. Decorative covers hide the screws. Allow more time if you are locating studs for the first time, and consider a helper to lift the TV.

Who it suits

It suits living rooms and bedrooms where a TV should sit neatly against the wall but still turn a little toward the seats. It is less suited to spaces where the screen needs to pull far across a room.
