NorStone SLIMLED 4080

Hanging a large TV on the wall is only worthwhile if the mount stays out of sight. This black steel fixed mount holds the screen a few centimetres from the wall, making the whole setup look almost like a hanging picture. It accommodates flat or curved screens from 40 to 80 inches, weighing up to 40 kg, and frees up the space a TV stand would occupy, whether in the living room or a bedroom.

Three centimetres between the screen and the wall

The Slimled 4080 measures 33 mm thick once installed. The TV therefore sits almost flat against the wall, at a distance that depends mainly on the contours of its own back (connection panel, power supply, electronics housing). Viewed from the side, the mount disappears behind the panel, which is the whole point of the Slimled range: with a recent slim-profile TV, the result looks very much like a recessed screen, without any masonry work.

This slim design comes with a logical trade-off: the mount is fixed. It neither tilts nor swivels the screen, so the mounting height needs to be chosen carefully, preferably facing the sofa and at eye level when seated. Reflections from a window cannot be corrected afterwards by tilting the panel slightly, so it is best to check the location at different times of day before drilling.

A wide mount for larger screens

On the back of every TV are four threaded holes arranged according to the VESA standard, which defines their spacing in millimetres (width × height). The Slimled 4080 supports mounting patterns of 200 × 200, 300 × 200, 400 × 200, 300 × 300, 400 × 300 and 600 × 300, covering the vast majority of TVs from 40 to 80 inches. Its frame, measuring 643 mm wide by 531 mm high, remains completely hidden behind screens of these sizes.

Curved screens are supported just like flat models. The maximum load of 40 kg covers most TVs in this size range, including many 75- and 77-inch models; for the largest screens, it is worth checking the screen’s actual weight before buying, as some high-end models approach or exceed this limit.

Prepare the installation before attaching anything

The mount attaches to a solid wall (concrete, brick, concrete block) or to a partition with two studs, meaning a timber or metal frame in which the screws anchor into two vertical studs. A spirit level is built into the structure: it helps position the frame perfectly horizontally when drilling, avoiding the need to check it with a separate tool and ensuring the screen is level once hung.

The slim profile also means planning the cabling in advance. With a TV 3 cm from the wall, rear-facing sockets become difficult to access once the screen is in place. It is easier to connect the HDMI cables and power cord before hanging the panel, favour right-angle or short-bodied plugs, and plan for cable trunking or a route through the wall if you want no visible cables. TVs with side-facing connections are best suited to this type of installation.

Two sizes in the Slimled range

The Slimled range consists of two mounts with an identical design: the same 33 mm thickness, the same 40 kg load capacity, and the same compatibility with flat and curved screens. The narrower Slimled 3265 (444 mm wide) is intended for TVs from 32 to 65 inches and supports VESA mounting patterns up to 400 × 300. The Slimled 4080 widens the frame to accommodate the 600 × 300 mounting pattern often found on very large screens, and supports screen sizes up to 80 inches. For a TV between 40 and 65 inches, both models are suitable: the screen’s VESA mounting pattern then determines the choice.
