TV Mounts / VideoSecu
VideoSecu ML531BE Full Motion Mount
A 20-inch articulating arm for under $40 — but only for TVs up to 55 inches.
Overall score 5.8/10
Pros
- + A genuine 20-inch articulating arm for under $40 — the cheapest full-motion option here
- + Bubble level, magnetic stud finder and HDMI cable included
- + Very long track record, so real-world reliability is well established
Cons
- − 88lb capacity and VESA 400x400 rule out most TVs above 55 inches
- − The weakest spec documentation of any branded mount here — tilt, swivel, profile depth, stud spacing and cable management are all unpublished
- − It is frequently mis-catalogued as a tilting mount; it is full-motion
- − The main Amazon listing is a bundle SKU whose model number differs from the manufacturer's, so confirm before buying
VideoSecu ML531BE Full Motion Mount review: what the specs say
A 20-inch articulating arm for under $40 — but only for TVs up to 55 inches. At $39.99, VideoSecu's 2008 model sits in the middle of the range — the TV Mounts we compare run from $27.99 to $429.99. It scores 5.8/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Value at 8.0/10 — capability and build relative to price. The weakest is Cable Management at 2.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: 88lb capacity and VESA 400x400 rule out most TVs above 55 inches; and the weakest spec documentation of any branded mount here — tilt, swivel, profile depth, stud spacing and cable management are all unpublished. Every specification on this page comes from VideoSecu's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
