Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J - Full Motion vs Fixed Wall Mount?

Started by glennsydney on May 17, 2024

I recently bought a Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J TV and I'm trying to decide between a full motion or fixed wall mount. Can anyone give me some advice on which one would be better for this TV?

I agree with @ImpressedIndividual, a fixed wall mount is a solid choice if you want something straightforward and reliable. However, if you want more flexibility, a full motion wall mount would be better.

I've had my Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J for a few months now and went with a fixed wall mount. It's been great because it's very stable, easy to install, and keeps the TV in place.

Thanks @ImpressedIndividual and @CaptainCorn13. I'm leaning towards the fixed wall mount since it seems easier to install and more stable. But can anyone tell me if a full motion mount would be too much trouble to install or is it worth the extra effort for the flexibility?

For me, the full motion wall mount was definitely worth the extra effort. I love being able to adjust my Sony 55" BRAVIA X85J TV from different angles and distances. The installation wasn't that difficult either.

That's good to know @toodles2. I think I might go for the full motion wall mount then, but I'm still a bit worried about the installation process.

If you're concerned about installation, you could always ask a professional to install it for you. It'll cost extra money, but at least you won't have to worry about doing it yourself.
