Best Pull-Down TV Mount UK: TMO400B vs TMO100A vs TMO800A
A pull-down TV mount lets you fit a screen high on the wall or above a fireplace, then bring it down to eye level when you want to watch. The right model comes down to three things: your screen size, your TV's weight and its VESA pattern.
The three models compared
| Model | Best for | Screen size | TV weight | VESA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TMO400B | Smaller rooms and lighter TVs | 32"-50" | Up to 16 kg | 100 x 100 to 400 x 400 mm |
| TMO100A | Mid-size living room TVs | 55"-65" | 7.5-32 kg | 200 x 200 to 600 x 400 mm |
| TMO800A | Large and heavy TVs | 55"-100" | 18-70 kg | 300 x 100 to 800 x 600 mm |
How to choose
Start with the weight
Look up your TV's weight without its stand. A pull-down mount relies on a spring that has to balance the TV, so weight matters as much as screen size. If you have a 55" to 65" TV, the weight will usually decide between the TMO100A and TMO800A. The TMO800A has an 18 kg minimum, so a lighter TV will suit the TMO100A better.
Check the VESA pattern
This is the spacing of the screw holes on the back of your TV. Your TV manual will list it, and our VESA guide explains how it works.
Check your wall
Solid brick and concrete walls are ideal. Timber stud walls need the fixings to go into the studs. For dot-and-dab plasterboard, see our Corefix kit and check your model is suitable first.
Own an LG TV?
Some LG TVs need our adaptor with the TMO100A or TMO800A, so check your model before you order.
