Product Description
AVF is a world leading supplier of TV wall mounts, support systems and accessories with over 30 years experience supplying worldwide markets. AVF's ECO-MOUNT range is a complete range of flat panel TV wall mounts based on one modular family look. These flat panel mounts offer functionality from flat-to-wall through to multi-position in small, medium and large size categories, and are complimented by A/V Component Shelving mounts. Universal compatibility and the modular design of the products with an 'easy-click' locking mechanism make installation as easy as 1-2-3. An efficient manufacturing process using common modular component parts for the range means Eco-Mount uses fewer raw materials, produces less waste and, crucially, products are designed to fit in boxes that are 50% smaller than similar products available in stores. This has led to a reduction in packaging and transportation and, as a consequence, a reduction in CO2 emissions.

From the Manufacturer
The AVF EL404B-A Multi-Position TV Mount
The AVF EL404B-A is a multi-position TV Mount for 25-40" flat panel TVs. It supports a TV weighing up to 66 lbs and has a profile of only 4.8" from the wall when retracted and 16" when extended. It is VESA compatible with hole patterns 100x100 - 400x400mm. The EL404B-A multi-position TV mount not only saves valuable shelf space, but it also safely secures your TV to the wall preventing it from accidentally tipping over. It tilts, swivels, extends, and pans, making it an ideal mount to position into a corner of your room. It provides optimal viewing angles, allowing you to swing out your TV to view from multiple rooms, such as a kitchen and living room, for example. Its easy to assemble 3-piece design allows for quick installation, and the yellow "Easy-Click" tabs provide for a secure installation.

Environmental Benefits
An efficient manufacturing process using common modular component parts for the range means Eco-mount uses fewer raw materials, produces less waste and, crucially, products are designed to fit in boxes that are 50% smaller than similar products available in stores.

Choosing the Right AVF Mount For You
Flat panel TVs are ideally suited to be wall mounted. Wall mounting your TV can create extra space and give a stylish uncluttered look to your room. The slim profile of flat-panel TVs means that they can be discreetly placed flat against a wall or they can be easily repositioned when mounted on a multi-position mount.
VESA Size
A further consideration when choosing a flat panel TV wall mount is whether your TV is VESA compatible, and if so, which VESA standard it is. VESA standards are set distances between threaded screw holes on the back of flat-panel TVs and monitors. All AVF flat panel mounts are VESA compliant and specify the maximum VESA standard they will fit. Many products also fit non-VESA-compliant monitors and TVs.
TV Size
The size of mount to choose is dependent on the screen size of your TV. AVF has flat panel mounts in four categories: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. Overlap exists between size categories as some mounts are compatible with a wide range of screen sizes.
TV Weight
Another important consideration is the weight of your TV. AVF mounts are subject to rigorous weight testing; however, you should not exceed the weight limit indicated on products. Rigorous internal quality procedures at the design and manufacture stages are also supplemented by independent third party testing leading to quality and safety accreditations. AVF products are UL listed after being tested to hold four times the weight recommended for each product.
TV Room Position
The distance between you and your TV and the height you place your TV is usually based on personal preference. If you sit too close, lower-quality signals may appear pixelated, and if you sit too far away you may not see the high quality detail in HD or DVD images. Where you intend to place your TV will also have a direct influence on the type of wall mount best suited to your needs.
Flat to wall: If your aim is to achieve a discreet appearance, a flat to wall mount may be ideal for your room. Flat to wall mounts are designed with a slim profile to enable you to position your TV flush to the wall.
Tilt: Wall mounts with a tilt function enable you to place your TV in a higher position as they provide the opportunity to tilt your screen downwards for optimal viewing. Tilting capabilities can also help remedy situations where light is glaring off your screen.
Multi-position: Multi-position mounts are ideal for positioning your TV into a corner or where you would like a wide range of viewing angles, giving you the ability to view your TV from multiple rooms, such as the living room and kitchen, for example. They are the most flexible mounts available and allow you to fold out your TV on one or more arms and multiple pivot points to give a maximum range of viewing angles. Multi-position mounts also usually have tilting capabilities and can be neatly folded back against the wall.
Wall Type
It is important to consider the type of wall you are mounting your TV on. It is highly recommended to use a stud-finder to find wooden studs and to ensure there are no hidden pipes or wires behind where you intend to drill. Do not mount onto drywall, plasterboard or paneled walls unless all wall plate screws are fixed into a wooden stud behind the drywall, plasterboard, or paneled walls. Use suitable wall plugs and screws when mounting onto a solid concrete wall. It is your responsibility to ensure the wall structure and fixings are capable of supporting the screen and mount in a normal working environment. Check the strength of the installation before installing and if you have any doubts regarding installation please consult a qualified contractor.
Cable Management
Cable management is something you may wish to consider when wall mounting your TV in order to achieve a neat, uncluttered finish. There are different ways of managing your cables and you may need to consider which approach you will take before installing your mount onto the wall.
- Surface coverings: The easiest cable management solution is to cover your wires with cable covers. These are coverings which stick to your wall over your cables. Usually made out of plastic, they are available in varying thicknesses and are typically paintable.
- Concealing in hollow walls: If you are mounting your TV on a stud or partition wall you may choose to run your cables in the hollow space between studs. You can so this by drilling a hole close to where the wall plate of your mount will be and threading your cables through the hollow space to emerge lower down your wall. Depending on the size of the hollow gap however you may have difficulty in threading thicker cables or end connectors. Make sure you check for pipes and wires before drilling, and ensure the screws of the wall plate of your mount are fixed into a wooden stud.
- Concealing in solid walls: If you are mounting your TV on a solid wall you can conceal your cables by cutting or chiseling out a channel within your wall in which to run your cables. Simply plaster over the channel and repaint to achieve a smooth finish.

Good Mount but not without Flaws
By C. TYLER
I looked around quite a bit for a mount that I wanted. I wanted tilt and I wanted the articulating arms. Since I have a 400 x 200 VESA TV my options were limited. I decided on this one because it had prime shipping and some decent reviews. I should have read the reviews more carefully. (Pros and Cons at the end)
I'm a guy, so when I open up a project I want to figure it out and complete it on my own, then read the instructions. But this time I decided to give the instructions a try first. As another reviewer pointed out, THE INSTRUCTIONS HAVE NO WORDS ON THEM. Step 1 has 3 options you should use depending on your TV's VESA setup. I picked mine and installed it as pictured. It was frustrating that I couldn't tell where the top of the TV is on the diagram though. I found out I had set it up upside down so I had to take it off and put it back on. A simple word like TOP or BOTTOM would have been useful in this diagram. (For those of you who get it, the yellow clips go towards the bottom.)
So I got it all attached to my TV and they tell me to bust out a leveler and make sure the bracket your screw into the wall is straight. I proceed to do that and I'm pretty close to dead center and drive those long screws in. Then I put up the articulating arms which were a simple installation. All that's left is to attach the TV to the mount. I step back knowing I did everything right according to the instructions, feeling good to knock out a project (30 minute installation), and I realize my TV is not straight. But I did everything right, what is going on? So I adjust the tilt screws (to tilt it you must use a 10mm socket or wrench to loosen it, tilt it, then tighten it into position) thinking it might have been something I did wrong. Then I realize there is some play in the bracket. At least a few degrees (in the 85-88 degree vs. the 90 they claim). The fixing project may wait for another weekend, I may add some cushion underneath the area with play (the top of the bracket attached to the TV), or I may just take it apart and set it straight. If they had some words in the instructions both of the pains I experienced would have been avoided.
PROS:
All the parts arrived.
Price.
Short installation.
Strong and durable materials.
Prime shipping!
CONS:
Instructions.
Tilting difficulty (use some type of ratcheting screw instead of the nuts/screws).
The play room which set it off center.
Overall it's a good and sturdy product. -1 star for the lack of clear instructions, and -1 star for the play room and the tilting. I'd still recommend and purchase this product but keep in mind what other reviewers and I have said. To the manufacturer if you fix these things you'll have a 5 star product.

works perfectly
By Richard T. Schones
I mounted a 32" Vizio over our bath tub, took about 30 minutes from beginning to end. Someone complained in another review that the mounting screws to a Vizio did not work, however, I did not have this issue. The lack of a single word in the instructions is a bit frustrating, so I just pieced it together prior to any screw or bolt tightening.
The arms are just long enough so that I can swing the TV 90 degrees for different viewing angles, and this is exactly what I wanted this product for. To tilt down while in the tub or to swing around while getting ready for an outing.

Great Product, functions very well
By Mr. Suggs
Mounted my 40" Samsung in my sunroom and the mount works like a charm! it is very easy to mount although the stud finder is useless. Great product for the price, 4 or 5 stars overall.
