Just made a big TV purchase today which I am really excited about. I am moving in 2 weeks so needed an entire new TV setup and decided to go with the Samsung 85 inch that is ready for the PS5. Also went with the Samsung frame for the living room.

Question: is there any issue with using a fairly significant tilt in a wall mount for a TV? Does the weight on the top mounting screws (further from the wall) create a risk that over time the TV will develop issues with the screen? Or is that not a risk for modern TVs?

I have never had this issue with my sets, but I admit OLED and how thin it is could be different. I would say no. Mine is angled quite a bit, and never thought it would be an issue.

the two issues that could effect things would be how well anchored it was in the first place, ie is it bolted straight into the 2x4 or a hefty wall anchor and then how much will it be moved around once up.
if it is just going up and never likely moved again it will probably never give you an issue as long as it isnt clearly rickity in the first place

I just got hives thinking of people who dry wall anchor their 3K TV to the wall.

the new builds are likely to have mild steel studs, not much to anchor a self tapping bolt into either

I'm not worried about it falling off the wall. It's anchored into a chimney and the mount It's on has held a much heavier set there for 10+ years. I'm specifically asking if having it at an angle - because it's higher on the wall than I would normally put a TV - is going to cause issues for the screen. Because I can tilt it less if I have to, but the angle it's at (top is about 9" further from the wall than the bottom) is pretty good for viewing.
The TV is a Hisense Q9G 65". It looks amazing, especially for 1500 bucks, but this is our second one. We returned the first after about 10 days as it had a couple of dark spots and a flicker, which I didn't see and I'm pretty sure came into being after about 40-50 hours of use. It's my Dad's, and I'm not sure when I'll be back around to make sure it hasn't happened again, so I'm wondering if it was just a defective set the first time or if the mount was maybe to blame. He leaves it on a lot during the day to watch BNN, so if there are issues they'll probably show up within our return window, but it's a pain for him to return a 65 inch set without me around.

It is done more than you think and it's a matter of using the proper anchors. The Toggler heavy duty toggle bolts are extremely strong. I have a mount over the fireplace and the wall stud spacing is not standard so I could only screw in one side of the mount for a 65" OLED. Zero issues using the heavy duty toggle bolts to support half of the set.

Guys what is a good bang for your buck TV for less than $1000 about 55".
Very casual viewing, mostly Netflix.

I had my 55 in plasma set up like that for years with no issues, and now a 65 in OLED for a few months with no issues. I always thought that was a pretty standard setup as all the mounts seem to be set up to tilt down and mounted TVs are generally somewhat above eye level.

Yes, toggle bolts are your friend for mounting monitors if the stud situation isn't agreeable.

Go TCL. I love mine. The Roku integration is fantastic and gets better all the time. They recently released a guide for live tv through the Roku channel. Not the best selection of channels, but you can flip through them as if it was a normal set top box. Really slick.

Yeah, I can't find anything that says it's a bad idea. It was the two circular dark spots that spooked me, because I figured those might be the result of pressure on the mounting points. But apparently it's just a panel lottery thing with these TVs, I found a couple reddit threads with people who had the same spots.

Have you contacted their support to see what they say about rated angles? No idea about Hisense, but some tech companies have really helpful online support. Or possibly even in the f'n manual?

But the one you linked is definitely decent for that price. Go with what you are most comfortable with.

I'd go with a TCL 6-series before a Samsung Q60 or Q70.

Hisense are also supposed to be one of the best BFYB televisions.

Hisense and TCL are so close it really just comes down to whether you prefer Android TV or Roku for your interface
