G'day @geoffey 

Looking at the specs  - weight says yes - but no to the screen dimension.

But scrolling though the reviews, we find Kama M. However, they are not extending (435mm) the screen from the wall.

The negative reviews all appear to be about it not being designed around 600mm stud spacing.

That can be solved.

Cheers.

Hi @geoffey,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

While it may be fine, I'd advise against it as the product manufacturer tests and certifies their products based on the dimensions they've provided. If anything were to go wrong, you would not be covered by their warranty as it is being used outside of the advised specs.

If you'd like to mount your 75-inch TV, you would be better off using this Practa 37 - 85" Variable Height Fixed TV Wall Mount PRWMFL or this SANUS 42"-90" Full Motion TV Wall Mount Bracket.

Let me know what you think and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

im unsure of wall studs in my house,(older style house) i've used a stud finder but there pretty hit and miss?
would i need a space board on wall to mount this bracket better?

Afternoon @geoffey 

"(older style house)"

I too have an old house, in some rooms I have a layer of fibro with two covering layers of gyprock. The electronic stud-finders I've tried are useless.

But I have had 100% success in locating screws/nails in the studs with rare earth magnets and measuring the 600mm once located. Sometimes there is a screw/nail located at every 600mm distance.

You will still need to locate the studs for your "space board."

Currently only $14.80 at Bunnings.

Worth a try?

Hello @geoffey 

The Trojan Magnetic Stud Finder can be found inside the tool shop. Just ask the tool specialist when entering the tool shop and they will tell you the exact location. In regards to mounting your TV, I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - How to wall-mount a heavy 75-inch 40kg TV by @Sugar. The general method of mounting it is to use a timber support piece that goes across the wall studs to support the weight of the TV.  

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
