Here is what I will be using. A locking double swing arm for rear access when needed. Not cheap but meet my needs.


There is a cord that hangs down, pull it and it releases the arms to move. Push the arms back to lock in place. About $75-80 Wireman


TV Brackets / Medium Double Swing TV Bracket - LW Engineering






Here is another option I considered.

Thanks for posting that info. I may go with the same one as you. The second one is very heavy. Not sure if the wall could hold it. Are you mounting directly to wall or using plywood backer?

100x100 pattern, watched video on it and says typically under 22" set but is rated at over 30lbs?

Still waiting for delivery of my 23RLSW. I'll have to see how big the backer is to screw into.


I'll probably add a 1/2" piece of finish grade plywood to the mounting area, stain it.


I might even fill in the whole mounting area with the plywood. We'll see.


That way I can use longer screws for mounting and it will be a lot stronger.

On my whitehawk I took a factory screw out. Its 3/4" long. The mount is about 1/8 of an inch thick.

The recessed TV mounting area in my floor plan backs a bathroom wall. Might be some plumbing lines in the wall.


Another reason to add a 1/2" backer. You have to know the vesa bolt pattern on the rear of the TV before you buy a mount.


Most 32" and up use a 200mm x 200mm pattern.

Thank you for doing this! You may save me from taking the mirror apart. Just to confirm you have the swivel tv that switches from the main area to the bedroom?

Also is the mount extendable? I ordered the Mor Ryde mount and wondering if I will still be able to swivel the tv to the bedroom with it attached?

Yeah, the mirror seems to be stapled to the flipty thing. No bueno. Yes, this flips between livingroom and front bedroom, on a White Hawk 32dsbh.

Mine is not extendable, but it is removable and adds about 3" of depth. And it still has room for flipping.

About to go foward with this mod. I decided to cut a piece of nicely finished plywood and stain it. I figured it would be best to just cut it the entire size of the tv opening for strength.

That's what I did. I used a 3/4" piece of plywood, cut to the dimension of the swivel rack. I glued and screwed it, also using small head trim screws through the side of the swivel rack, into the side of the plywood. That has worked perfectly for me.

When I tried to mount directly too the swivel rack, I couldn't get the screws to "bite in". It was like the back of the swivel rack was particle board, and the screws were just chewing out the material.

Thanks for the tips. I'm using 1/2" do you think that will be OK? Also what size screws?

So after talking to another member on here I decided to upgrade to 3/4 backer. Stained and put a nice coat of polyurethane on it. Sometimes I can over the top.

Nice idea. I may do the same just to be safe. I've had a 32" Vizio mounted using a Cheetah swivel mount and its done well since October even while driving on bumpy roads. I used 1/2" wood screws.
