I'm looking to buy a wall mount for my new Sony A80CL 77-inch TV. Can you recommend some good ones? I've heard that the VESA size is important, but what's it all about?
Sony A80CL 77" Wall Mounts Recommendations?

Hey, @RedHeadedGeek. Welcome to the forum! VESA stands for Video Electronics Standards Association, and it's a standard that helps determine if a specific wall mount is compatible with your TV. The Sony A80CL 77" has a VESA size of 300x300 mm, so you'll need to find a wall mount that supports this.
Thanks for the info @MotiVEsports. I've also heard that weight plays a role in choosing a wall mount. What do I need to know about that?
Sure thing, @Sacellum. The TV's weight is another critical factor when selecting a wall mount. For instance, the Sony A80CL 77" weighs 77 lbs without the included stand. So you'll need to choose a wall mount with a max weight capacity that can safely support this.
I came across an article on TechReviewer Best Wall Mounts for the Sony 77" A80CL TV that discusses some great recommendations for wall mounts compatible with the Sony A80CL 77". It's worth checking out!
That sounds useful! Thanks @Minime1251. Based on what you've all said, it seems like I should be looking for a wall mount that can support my TV's VESA size and weight. Any other tips or recommendations?
Absolutely, @RedHeadedGeek. In addition to the VESA size and weight capacity, consider whether you want a fixed, tilting, or full-motion wall mount. Full-motion mounts offer more flexibility but might be more expensive and require more installation time.
Thanks for all your help! I'll definitely check out the TechReviewer article Best Wall Mounts for the Sony 77" A80CL TV and start looking for a suitable wall mount based on your advice.
You're welcome, @Sacellum. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions. Good luck with your search!
