Hi everyone
So I have this very basic TV wall mount. It currently holds up a 55 inch HiSense TV and I've not had any issues.
My problem is, I would like to upgrade my TV to a 65 inch. I cannot find this particular bracket online anywhere so that I can see the specs, I also no longer have the box that it came in :(
I'm trying to figure out if this bracket will be fine for the upgrade.



Anyone seen this one before?

When I upgraded I just changed the bolts.

If you check on the bolt packaging there is normally a weight that it can support. Maybe just add some additional bolts greater than the sum of the TV + some margin?

Problem is that I no longer have any of the packaging.
I'm almost sure it supports above my current TV spec, I doubt I would have bought a bracket to use on its limit.....I'm too paranoid.

You still have space to add more bolts if you want to make it extra strong, if you like.

That mount should suffice and I think the only risk is where there is a swivel mount.

I've got one similar for my TV in the bedroom and it's working on the 58". I've got one mount I bought back in 2010 for my 42", this thing was designed to hold 70KG, remember TVs were heavier back then, so far this thing has held up a 42", 46", 50", 58" and a 65".
That one you've got should hold a 65" as it would probably weigh less then what that bracket is designed to hold up.

I bought a mounting bracket where some reviews said the bolts were kinda crap, and you just had to replace the bolts.

Anyway, I just used the included bolts because lazy, and used a luggage scale to test the strength.
