Hey everyone! I’ve been a loyal Sony fan for years and I'm planning to upgrade my living room setup soon. Since I usually stick with the brand, I’m looking for a wall mount that is truly compatible across their whole range, from the older Bravia LEDs to the latest OLEDs.
I’ve noticed some Sony models have unique VESA patterns or need specific spacers, which makes choosing a universal mount a bit confusing. I need something that handles:
Does anyone know a specific mount that works perfectly for almost all Sony models so I don't have to drill new holes when I upgrade?
Story time: I went through this last year and honestly it was way more stressful than I thought... I had issues with my 75 inch because Sonys VESA holes are often lower than other brands. Basically, my cables got totally pinched... not as good as expected tbh.
sooo i get it, I've been there... honestly i think the most compatible thing is a high-quality universal mount that has a really wide wall plate. i'm still kinda new to this but I used the SANUS Elite Advanced Tilt 4D Wall Mount VLT7-B2 for my old 65 inch and it worked perfectly when I upgraded to a 75 inch Bravia later. It handles up to 150 lbs so weight isnt an issue at all. It's usually like $150 or so but it's super sturdy for the price.
For your situation, i've spent way too much time staring at Sony backplates lol. To save cash while covering those VESA patterns, check these...

Saving this whole thread. So much good info here you guys are awesome.
Finally someone says it. Ive been thinking this for a while but wasnt sure.
Had a moment to think about this more and I went through this last year too. Honestly, it was a huge disappointment because I thought any mount would fit, but unfortunately I had issues with the weight distribution on my 75 inch. It felt super sketchy and just not as good as expected... I highkey panicked thinking the whole thing would rip out. I'm still a beginner at this, but safety is literally the most important thing when you're hanging a massive screen, you know?? Before you buy, I gotta ask... is your wall standard drywall with wood studs or something like brick? Also, what's your budget range for this?? Quick tip: Look for a mount with an extra-wide, heavy-duty steel wall plate. Basically, the wider it is, the more studs you can hit, which makes the whole setup way more reliable for heavy Sony TVs in the long run... good luck!!
just saw this thread and wanted to chime in because i have been a sony guy for over a decade now. the main thing people miss with sonys is the vertical offset... since the holes are usually near the bottom, you end up with a tv thats way too high if you dont use a mount with a lot of flexibility. i moved from an old 65 inch led to a 75 inch oled last year and went with the ECHOGEAR Full Motion TV Wall Mount EGLF2. honestly its built like a tank which is what you want for those heavy 75 inchers. what i love about it is the lateral shift... basically you can slide the tv left or right on the wall plate even after its mounted. its a lifesaver for centering it when your studs arent perfectly placed. also it pulls out like 22 inches so cable management is actually doable without scraping your knuckles. a few tips from my experience:
Works great for me
