Which MantelMount Should You Buy? Compare All Five Models

MM340: Everything you need to bring your TV down to eye level

A TV mounted high on the wall should not mean looking up every time you watch. The MM340 delivers MantelMount’s essential manual pull-down experience: bring your screen down toward eye level when it’s time to watch, then return it to its raised position when you’re finished.

It’s the smart entry point for shoppers who prioritize safe, comfortable viewing and price-point over added premium features. If you want more finishing touches or a more elevated experience, the rest of the lineup is worth exploring.

MM540: Make every viewing experience feel more complete

The MM540 builds on the MM340’s essential pull-down functionality with premium features that give the mount more versatility and the installation look more finished. Built-in tilt, patented heat-sensing handles, paintable wall covers and soundbar accommodation make it more than just a mount that lowers your TV.

Think of the MM540 as offering the essentials but then upgraded with premium features that make everyday viewing feel even better. While the MM340 and MM540 provide manual lowering and swivel capability, the MM540’s value is in its enhanced feature set which turns a TV mount into a home-entertainment experience.

MM700: Premium features, easier movement and advanced construction

The MM700 includes the premium features of the MM540, then goes further where you can feel the difference: it takes less manual effort to pull the TV down. It’s a smoother downward travel, and the heavier-duty construction also accommodates larger, heavier televisions.

There is an installation advantage as well. The MM700’s wider, 3 mm steel wall plate can span multiple studs more readily, and installers can secure the wall plate first, then attach the lifting arm. With the MM340 and MM540, the wall plate and lifting arm are installed as an assembled unit. For some installations, that separate sequence can make a meaningful difference.

MM815: Your perfect view. One touch away.

Imagine settling into your seat and bringing your TV down to eye level with the press of a button. No reaching, no pulling and no getting up to reposition the screen. The motorized MM815 raises, lowers and swivels your television by remote control, putting the entire viewing experience at your fingertips.

Two programmable memory presets make favorite viewing positions easy to recall. Remote-controlled swivel lets you adjust the screen up to 30 degrees in either direction. And when it’s time to put the TV away, patented automatic centering cams guide the TV back to a straight, stowed position without colliding with your mantel or wall.

The technology is designed with protection in mind, too: configurable soft and hard travel stops help limit movement around nearby surfaces, while a built-in visual temperature sensor turns red above 110°F to alert you to elevated fireplace heat.

This isn’t simply manual movement made easier. It transforms how you interact with your TV: from something you have to move into something that moves for you.

MAX1: Full Motion, Redefined

MAX1 is not another step in the traditional manual pull-down progression. It rethinks how a TV can move. Where conventional pull-down mounts follow a natural arc designed to clear a mantel, MAX1 lets you adjust vertical position and horizontal reach independently—so you can place the screen with far more precision.

Lower it. Extend it. Swivel it. Stop exactly where the view works best. With 22 inches of forward extension, 29 inches of vertical travel and up to 40 degrees of swivel in either direction, MAX1 offers our widest range of motion and positioning possibilities. Its wall slider capability also allows straight-down lowering, when the space below is unobstructed, while keeping the TV flush-to-wall.

MAX1 is our slimmest mount, with a 3.25-inch flush-to-wall profile, and its design can work with less clearance (just 2 inches) than traditional pull-down configurations. That flexibility makes it particularly compelling for tight spaces and installations where every inch matters.

If the MM815 is the ultimate push-button experience, MAX1 is the precision-positioning specialist: a mount that gives you more ways to put the screen exactly where you want it.
