Best Full Motion TV Mounts: USX Leads the Pack

The best full motion TV mount for phone calls is the USX MOUNT XMM006, because it fits 26-65 inch screens, holds up to 77 lb, and extends from 2.81 in against the wall to 16.7 in out, giving you room to turn the screen toward wherever you happen to sit down with a phone. If your TV is 42 inches or larger and you need the screen to reach further into the room, the MOUNTUP EU0047-L extends 37.9 in and carries up to 99 lb. Both swivel a full 180 degrees.

A quick word on the phone-call angle: none of the listings here promise anything about phone calls, and a mount cannot help with a call in any direct way. What the best full motion TV mount for phone calls really means, in practice, is a mount that lets you turn the screen aside or angle it out of glare while you take a call, then return it flush without a fight. That is a swivel-range and extension question, and it is what I judged the seven picks on.

Best full motion TV mount for phone calls at a glance

How I screened the field down to seven

I started with a wider pull of full motion wall mounts and cut hard. Anything without a published VESA range went first, because that single figure decides whether the bracket bolts to your TV or does not. Anything without a stated weight capacity went next. What remained I sorted by TV-size bracket, extension in inches, and swivel range, because those three are what a shopper actually compares.

The seven picks below cover four distinct buyer situations:

• Small screens up to 32 inches: the Suptek MA2720 and the Mount-It! MI-391 pole mount.
• Mid-size screens up to 55 inches: the Mount-It! MI-4110.
• Standard 65 inch territory: the USX MOUNT XMM006 and the BONTEC CT140L.
• Large 75 inch screens: the MOUNTUP EU0047-L and the FORGING MOUNT HY9389-R.

Five of the seven are rated for 65 inch TVs or larger, and two are rated up to 99 lb, so if you have a big screen the field narrows quickly.

1. USX MOUNT UL Listed Full Motion TV Mount — Best overall

The USX XMM006 hits the sweet spot for anyone with a mid to large TV who wants to swing the screen aside during a call, then push it flat without a fight.

Best for: a 26 to 65 inch TV on a wood-stud wall in a family room. Skip it if: you only have drywall to mount into.

The XMM006 covers VESA 75x75 mm to 400x400 mm and TVs up to 77 lb, which is enough headroom for the vast majority of 55 and 65 inch panels. The mount pulls out to 16.7 in and retracts to 2.81 in against the wall. USX claims tilt of +5° to -15°, swivel of ±90°, and post-installation levelling of ±5°. That swivel figure is the one that matters if you take calls in front of the TV: 90° each way turns the screen out of the sightline entirely rather than just angling it.

Two other things earn the top slot. The bracket weighs 5.07 lb, which is light enough that one person can hold it against the wall while marking pilot holes. And the listing states a 10-year warranty, the longest of any wall bracket in this set except the pole mount's lifetime cover. The trade-off is real, though: USX says outright that this is a wood-stud or solid-concrete mount, not a drywall-anchor mount, so if your wall is plasterboard over stud spacings that miss where you want the TV, you are into blocking or a different mount.

Pros:

• Fits 26-65 in TVs and VESA up to 400x400 mm
• 77 lb capacity covers most modern panels
• Retracts to 2.81 in, extends to 16.7 in
• 10-year warranty on the listing
• Sells faster than the rest of this set

Cons:

• Requires wood stud or solid concrete, not drywall alone
• Tilt range narrower than the Suptek's ±20°
• Extension shorter than the long-arm picks

2. BONTEC Long Arm TV Wall Mount — Runner-up

The BONTEC CT140L is the pick when the TV needs to travel a long way from the wall, whether that is around a corner or out into a wide room.

Best for: a large room where the TV needs to swing far from the wall. Skip it if: you want a long warranty on the bracket.

The CT140L fits the same 26-65 in bracket and 77 lb ceiling as the USX pick, but the arm is the story: it extends 37.4 in from the wall and retracts to 2.9 in. That is more than double the reach of the USX. BONTEC describes a three-section, five-arm structure with four joints, which is what buys the extension, and quotes tilt of +5° to -10°, swivel of ±90°, and levelling of ±4°. The bracket itself weighs 11 lb, roughly twice the USX, because reach costs steel.

Two reasons it lands second rather than first. The published warranty is one year against the USX's ten, and only one seller lists it, which limits your options if a part goes missing. If reach is what you actually need, though, none of the other 26-65 in picks come close. In a corner sofa layout where the TV has to swing across the room for anyone taking a call at the kitchen counter, this is the more honest choice.

Pros:

• 37.4 in extension, the longest in the 26-65 in class here
• 77 lb capacity, same as the USX
• Retracts to 2.9 in against the wall
• Reinforced steel dual-arm build
• Fits flat and curved panels

Cons:

• One-year warranty on the listing
• Only one seller lists it
• Heavier bracket at 11 lb
• No published sales-rank signal

3. MOUNTUP 37.9" Long Arm TV Wall Mount — Best premium

The MOUNTUP EU0047-L is the pick if your TV is 42 inches or larger and you want the longest arm in this set on a single-stud mount.

Best for: a 42 to 75 inch TV in a corner or across an open-plan room. Skip it if: your TV is under 42 inches.

Where the BONTEC tops out at 65 in and 77 lb, the MOUNTUP goes to 75 in and 99 lb, and it covers VESA from 150x100 mm up to 600x400 mm. The arm extends 37.9 in and swivels ±90°. The listing calls out single-stud installation, which is a real convenience when your stud spacing does not line up with where the TV wants to sit. It is the most expensive pick here, and the payoff is size and weight capacity, not extension: the BONTEC reaches almost as far for a smaller screen.

Warranty runs three years. The trade-off is straightforward: you are paying premium money to mount a big screen on a single stud with maximum reach, and if your TV is 32 or 40 inches, you are paying for capacity you will never use. For a 65 or 75 inch panel in a corner where you need to swing it out for a call or a game, this is the honest answer in the set.

Pros:

• 99 lb capacity, tied for highest here
• 37.9 in extension, longest in the set
• VESA up to 600x400 mm for large panels
• Single-stud installation
• 3-year warranty

Cons:

• The most expensive pick here
• No use for TVs under 42 in
• Only one seller lists it
• No published weight for the bracket itself

4. FORGING MOUNT Corner TV Wall Mount — Best for small spaces

The FORGING MOUNT HY9389-R is built for corners: 30 in of arm reach, retracts to 2.5 in, and rated for TVs up to 99 lb.

Best for: a tight corner where the TV needs to reach out and swing back flat. Skip it if: your screen is smaller than 37 inches.

The HY9389-R fits 37 to 75 in TVs and, per the listing, has passed weight tests up to 300 lb while being rated to hold TVs up to 100 lb. The 30 in extension arm retracts to 2.5 in, which is the tightest fold in this set. FORGING MOUNT calls out post-installation levelling of ±3° and includes concrete expansion anchors for brick or masonry alongside the standard kit. Bracket weight is 16 lb, the heaviest here, and dimensions are 2.7 x 17.4 x 2 in when packed flat.

What holds it back from a higher spot is the missing detail: no published warranty on the listing and no swivel figure in degrees, only the corner-mount claim. If the corner is the reason you are buying, the folded profile and the concrete-anchor kit earn the pick. If you are mounting on a flat wall in an ordinary room, the USX or the BONTEC give you more predictable numbers to plan against.

Pros:

• Retracts to 2.5 in, the tightest fold here
• 30 in extension arm
• Rated to hold up to 100 lb
• Includes concrete expansion anchors
• ±3° post-installation levelling

Cons:

• No published warranty on the listing
• No swivel angle stated in degrees
• Heaviest bracket at 16 lb
• Sells slower than the top picks

5. Mount-It! MI-4110 Full Motion Articulating TV Wall Mount — Best for heavy use

The Mount-It! MI-4110 is the pick for a 23 to 55 in TV that gets repositioned multiple times a day, on a single stud.

Best for: a mid-size TV on a single stud with frequent daily repositioning. Skip it if: your TV weighs more than 66 lb.

The MI-4110 covers VESA 75x75 mm to 400x400 mm on TVs up to 66 lb. The arm extends 2.16 in to 15.6 in, swivels 180°, and tilts +5° to -10°. Screen-level adjustment is ±3°. Mount-It! describes single-stud installation and steel construction tested to four times the rated weight capacity, which is the specific claim that led me to pick this one for heavy daily use: a mount that swings out four or five times a day and gets nudged back is going to see the joints work, and the over-spec on the frame matters more than an extra inch of reach.

At 5.6 lb the bracket is light enough to hold up single-handed during install. The compromise is size: 55 in is the ceiling. If you have a 65 in TV, you want the USX or BONTEC. And unlike the MI-391 pole mount from the same brand, this listing does not carry the lifetime warranty language, so check the current warranty terms before buying if that matters to you.

Pros:

• 15.6 in extension on a single stud
• 180° swivel
• Steel frame tested to 4x rated capacity
• ±3° post-install level adjustment
• Light 5.6 lb bracket

Cons:

• 66 lb capacity, lowest of the large-TV picks
• Caps at 55 in TVs
• Tilt range narrower than the Suptek's
• Only one seller lists it

6. Mount-It! MI-391 Universal Full Motion Pole Mount — Best for beginners

The Mount-It! MI-391 is a pole mount, not a wall mount, and that is the point: if you already have a pole, you skip the whole stud-hunting step.

Best for: a small monitor or TV mounted onto an existing pole. Skip it if: you need a standard wall bracket.

The MI-391 clamps to any pole from 1.1 in to 2.4 in in diameter and takes screens up to 32 in on VESA 75x75 mm or 100x100 mm. It uses two articulating arms and a detachable VESA plate, which is genuinely useful during install because you screw the plate to the back of the TV first, then hang the TV on the mount rather than juggling both at once. Mount-It! lists a lifetime warranty on this one, the longest of any pick here.

Two honest limits. This is a niche mount. If you have not already got a pole to attach it to, none of this helps. And it is one of the more expensive picks in the set despite topping out at a 17 lb load, so you are paying for the versatility of the pole clamp, not for heavy-duty capacity. For a monitor arm on a workbench pole, a display in a shop, or a small kitchen TV on an existing structure, it earns its place.

Pros:

• Fits poles from 1.1 to 2.4 in diameter
• Detachable VESA plate simplifies install
• Lifetime warranty on the listing
• Two articulating arms for angle control

Cons:

• Requires a pole, not a wall
• Caps at 32 in TVs
• 17 lb load ceiling
• Sells slowest of the set

7. Suptek MA2720 TV Wall Bracket — Best budget pick

The Suptek MA2720 is the cheapest of the seven and the right pick for a 15 to 32 inch monitor or small bedroom TV.

Best for: a 15 to 32 inch monitor or small TV in a bedroom or office. Skip it if: your screen is 40 inches or larger.

The MA2720 covers VESA 75x75 mm and 100x100 mm on screens 15 to 32 in, up to 13 kg. Suptek claims 360° rotation, 180° swivel, and ±20° tilt, which is the widest tilt range in this set: useful for a wall-mounted monitor that has to angle down toward a desk chair. The arm extends to 380 mm from the wall and folds to 63 mm. Bracket weight is 2.2 lb and packed dimensions are 7.01 x 9.65 x 2.36 in.

At this size and price band, the value is in the tilt and swivel figures rather than the capacity. Nothing in the listing tells you about warranty, and only one seller stocks it, which is the trade-off for the cheapest slot. For a spare-room TV that occasionally rotates for a phone call at the desk or a workout in front of the screen, it is the honest pick. For anything in the 40 to 65 in bracket, the USX is the right upgrade.

Pros:

• ±20° tilt, the widest in this set
• 360° rotation per the listing
• Cold-rolled steel construction
• Light 2.2 lb bracket
• The cheapest of the seven

Cons:

• Caps at 32 in and 13 kg
• No published warranty
• Only one seller lists it
• No use for larger living-room TVs

Does a full motion TV mount actually help with phone calls?

Not directly, and no listing in this set makes any phone-call claim. What a full motion mount does help with is the situation around a phone call: turning the screen aside so a video call on your phone is not competing with a bright picture, angling the display out of glare when you cross the room to pick up, or swinging the TV back flat so it stops distracting whoever else is on the sofa. The specifications that matter for that use are swivel range and how far the arm retracts. On both counts, the USX and BONTEC lead.

What decides a full motion mount, and what does not

Most guides open with weight capacity. That is important, but it rarely decides the purchase, because most modern 55 or 65 in TVs weigh well under 50 lb, and every pick here rated for 65 in handles 77 lb or more. The specification that actually decides it is the pairing of extension and swivel, because a full motion mount is bought for movement, not for load.

Here is the trick most shoppers miss. Look at the retracted depth, not just the extension. A mount that pulls out 37.9 in but only folds back to 2.9 in gives you both a long swing and a clean wall. A mount that folds to 4 or 5 in against the wall never looks flush no matter what the extension figure promises.

The order I would compare specifications in:

1. VESA range against the pattern on the back of your TV.
2. Weight capacity against your TV's stated weight, with 20% headroom.
3. Swivel angle in degrees, ±90° being the useful benchmark.
4. Extension in inches for how far it reaches.
5. Retracted depth in inches for how flat it folds.
6. Warranty length, because a full motion bracket has moving joints.

Do those six in order and the field narrows to two or three picks quickly.

How far from the wall do you really need?

Extension figures in this set run from 380 mm on the Suptek up to 37.9 in on the MOUNTUP. That is a huge spread, and most people do not need the maximum. Some rough rules from the seven picks here:

• Under 16 in of extension is enough for straight-on wall placement where you occasionally turn the TV a few degrees. The USX at 16.7 in and the Mount-It! MI-4110 at 15.6 in fall in this band.
• 30 in of extension covers a corner mount where the TV has to swing out and face into the room. The FORGING MOUNT hits this.
• 37 in or more is what you want if the TV is going into a deep corner or has to reach out across a wide open plan. The BONTEC and the MOUNTUP live here.

Longer arms cost more, weigh more, and require more careful stud work. If your seating is directly in front of the wall, the extra reach is dead weight.

What the listings do not tell you about installation

A few things the product pages tend to gloss over, worth knowing before you order:

• Stud finder first. The USX listing states outright that its mount is for wood studs or solid concrete and not drywall alone. Assume that applies to every large-TV pick here, whether the listing says so or not.
• Two people, not one, for anything over 55 in. The MOUNTUP and FORGING MOUNT are rated to 99 lb for a reason. Holding a 65 in TV at arm's length while you locate mount holes is not a single-person job.
• The included hardware covers the mount, not the wall. Concrete anchors ship with the FORGING MOUNT. Every other pick here provides the TV-side hardware and the bracket-side lag bolts, but wall anchors for masonry or brick you may have to source.
• Cable management adds slack, not tension. When you route cables to a full motion mount, leave loops at every joint. A cable pulled tight limits swivel and pulls on the ports.
• Level after install. Five of the seven picks include a bubble level and post-install level adjustment between ±3° and ±5°. Use it. A screen a degree off horizontal is obvious the moment it stops moving.

The verdict

If your TV is between 26 and 65 inches, the USX MOUNT XMM006 is the right default. It carries 77 lb, extends to 16.7 in, retracts to 2.81 in, swivels ±90°, and lists a 10-year warranty. The bracket is light at 5.07 lb, the mounting requirements are honest (wood stud or solid concrete, not drywall), and it is the fastest seller of the seven, which suggests it is doing its job in a lot of living rooms already.

Two conditions flip the pick. If your TV needs to swing further than 16.7 in from the wall, either into a room or around a corner, the BONTEC CT140L takes the same 26-65 in bracket out to 37.4 in of extension. It trades a 10-year warranty for a 1-year one, but the reach is real, and no other 65-inch-capable pick here comes close. If your TV is 65 or 75 inches and heavier than 77 lb, the MOUNTUP EU0047-L is the answer: 99 lb capacity, 37.9 in extension, VESA up to 600x400 mm, and single-stud installation. For anything under 32 in, the Suptek MA2720 is enough mount at a fraction of the outlay.

FAQ

Can a full motion TV mount help during phone calls?

A full motion TV mount can help around a phone call, though no listing here promises anything specifically about calls. What it does is let you swivel the screen aside, angle it out of glare, or fold it back flat when the room changes use. Look at swivel range and retracted depth if that is your use case: ±90° swivel and a fold under 3 in are the numbers to want.

Is a full motion TV mount worth it?

A full motion TV mount is worth it when your seating is not directly in front of the wall, when glare shifts through the day, or when the room does two jobs. On a flat wall with fixed seating, a fixed or tilt-only bracket is cheaper and looks flusher. The seven full motion picks here retract between 2.5 in and 3.5 in against the wall, so the profile penalty is small if you buy carefully.

What VESA pattern do I need?

The VESA pattern you need is stamped on the back of your TV, measured between the four mounting holes in millimetres. The USX and BONTEC cover 75x75 to 400x400 mm, the MOUNTUP goes up to 600x400 mm for larger panels, and the Suptek and MI-391 stop at 100x100 mm. Match the mount's range to your TV's pattern before comparing anything else.

USX XMM006 or BONTEC CT140L: which should I pick?

The USX XMM006 or BONTEC CT140L question comes down to reach. Both fit 26-65 in TVs at 77 lb. The USX extends 16.7 in and lists a 10-year warranty. The BONTEC extends 37.4 in and lists a 1-year warranty. Pick the USX for a flat-wall install with occasional turning; pick the BONTEC when the TV has to swing far from the wall around a corner or into an open-plan room.

What is the biggest mistake buyers make with full motion mounts?

The biggest mistake buyers make with full motion mounts is buying too much extension. A 37 in arm on a straight wall behind a sofa is dead reach that adds weight, cost, and joint flex for no benefit. The other common error is trusting drywall anchors alone on a large TV. Every pick here that publishes install guidance calls for wood studs or solid concrete, and the mount is only as safe as the wall behind it.

Full motion mounts are one of the few AV upgrades that pay back the moment they are installed. Take twenty minutes with a tape measure before you order: mark the wall where the TV needs to sit flush, then step out to where you want it pointing during a call or when you cross the room, and measure the distance. That number, plus your TV's weight and VESA pattern, is the whole decision. For most 26-65 in TVs on a stud wall, the USX MOUNT XMM006 covers it with room to spare. Buy once, hang it right, and the mount stops being a thing you think about.
