The verdict

A fitting choice for a TV hung high over a mantel that you want at eye level while watching. The stated weight window of 20 to 90 lb matters, because very light TVs may not balance on the gas springs. Mounting needs a structural surface such as studs, brick or stone.

The MM540 is MantelMount's mid-range pull-down mount for TVs above a fireplace. A gas-spring arm lowers the TV 27 inches to eye level, with 30 degrees of swivel each way and up to 9 degrees of downward tilt. It is specified for 44 to 80 inch TVs weighing 20 to 90 lb, with VESA patterns from 200 x 200 to 600 x 600 mm. It clears mantels up to 18 inches deep and includes a soundbar attachment and heat-sensing pull handles.

Strengths

  • Lowers the TV 27 inches and swivels 30 degrees either way.
  • Built-in soundbar attachment and heat-sensing pull handles.
  • Clears mantels up to 18 inches deep.
  • Limited lifetime warranty, with 5 years on the gas springs.

Weak spots

  • Weight window of 20 to 90 lb; the maker says very light TVs can cause the arm to bounce up.
  • Sits 5.7 inches from the wall unless an optional recess box is added.
  • Must be fastened to something structural, not drywall alone.

Great for

  • Above-fireplace installs where the TV hangs high
  • TVs between 44 and 80 inches within the 20 to 90 lb window

Skip if

  • Very light or very heavy TVs outside the weight window
  • Mantels deeper than 18 inches without a horizontal adapter
