Hey everyone! I just picked up a new 65-inch Sony Bravia, and I’m finally ready to get it off the media console and onto the wall. I’ve heard that Sony TVs often have unique VESA bolt placements that sit a bit lower on the back compared to other brands, so I’m worried about finding a mount that keeps it centered and secure. I’m looking for something with a slight tilt to help with afternoon glare, but I also need it to be low-profile enough to look sleek. Has anyone had good luck with specific brands like Sanus or Echogear for their Sony sets? Which specific wall mount model would you recommend for the best fit?

sooo i was looking into this too cuz safety is huge for me. I dont wanna spend a ton but it gotta be secure. 1. Mounting Dream MD2268-MK Tilting TV Wall Mount: Seriously budget friendly and stable.
2. Perlesmith Tilting TV Wall Mount PIMT1: Good value for that sleek look. Both handle low Sony holes fine. Be careful with the studs tho... maybe ask a pro if youre unsure? Better safe than sorry! 👍

For your situation, I’ve seen two mounts really kill it with Sony sets: 1. Sanus VLT7-B2 Advanced Tilt 4D Wall Mount: It’s like $150 but lets u shift it vertically AFTER mounting. Amazing for centering those weird low holes!
2. Echogear Tilting TV Wall Mount EGLT3: Only $50 and handles the weight like a champ. Basically, Sanus for precision vs Echogear for value. tbh u dont need to overthink it! peace.

Summarizing what has been said so far, everyone basically agrees that Sonys low VESA pattern is the main hurdle. You really gotta watch the vertical placement or your TV ends up way higher than you planned. Since you want sleek but tilted, Id throw in a couple more options that havent been mentioned yet.

  • Kanto KT3260 Tilting TV Wall Mount is a great DIY choice because the build quality is top-tier for the price, and it sits pretty flush to the wall while offering enough tilt to kill that glare.
  • Monoprice Commercial Series Tilting TV Wall Mount is the way to go if you want to save some cash but still want something sturdy. It is super basic but honestly works just as well as the expensive ones for a static tilt setup. Just a heads up from someone whos messed this up before: definitely use a level and maybe even some painters tape to outline where the screen actually sits before you start drilling those lag bolts. Since the holes are low on the Bravia, the top of the TV is gonna be a lot higher than the mount itself. Good luck with the setup!

sooo i actually had the same freakout with my 65-inch Bravia last year cuz those holes are seriously low! i ended up using an Echogear tilt mount and it was honestly PERFECT. - it handled the weird VESA position easily
- the tilt is GREAT for afternoon glare basically, just make sure ur mount has long vertical brackets to compensate for that offset. lesson learned: measure twice before u drill cuz that sony drop is real!!

Ok so, just jumping in here with a quick thought on DIY, since safety is keyyy. Before you even think about which mount, you really need to figure out your wall type. I mean, mounting into wood studs with those beefy lag bolts is one thing (and usually pretty straightforward if you pre-drill properly!). But if you're dealing with metal studs, or even concrete/brick, your approach totally changes. Some generic mounts don't always include the right heavy-duty anchors for those, you know? So figuring out *that* first will honestly save you a ton of headache and potential re-drills down the line. It's all about matching the hardware to your wall material for that rock-solid install.
