20141207 - 40-inch TV has been mounted - IMG0078

Sooo.... We thought about it, and thought about it more, and modern life is just more complicated. I use my television as my primary monitor, but sometimes I want a video or something in the background. But I don't want to sacrifice the space.

 

A family member helped convince me that it's not totally crazy, as her husband purchased a secondary screen for the same reason (except for watching baseball).

 

After thinking about it, we decided to take a plunge. After vulturing, we found this el-cheapo Seiki SE40FY27 40-Inch 1080p 60Hz LED TV. The screen dimensons are 33"x19", which is 627 square inches -- 4.35 feet -- of screen.

 

It was $250 & for once we actually purchased an extended warranty: A $30 bet that this thing won't last 4 years (valid until 20181203).

 

The mount is a "Mount-It! Heavy Duty Full Motion Single Arm Mount", Model#MI-319B . It's maximum load is a whopping 175 lbs. It is suitable for 32-60 inch TVs. The wall plate dimensions are: 480mm width by 238mm height. The product weight is 12.4kg. The Range of Motion includes 180-degree swivel with a 15-degree up/down tilt. Depending on swivel, it extends from the wall anywhere from 4.9" to 26.5". It has a 5 Years warranty on parts & was ordered from NewEgg for $61.99 on 20141128. It uses M8x90 Lag Bolts to attach to studs. Do I sound autistic yet?

 

Anyway... It kicks so much ass that we very quickly decied to make things even more complicated by adding even more screens. Those pictures will gradually trickle out in the future...
