Due to where we want to mount the TV I need a wall mount with a wide base panel to make sure I can secure it correctly as the mount point isn't between two studs As this is for a bedroom I was looking for a tilt mount, but quite a few appear to only support 200x200 or greater vesa mounts.

 

Has anyone tried to had issues using a 200x200 unit with a 100x200 mount  - I've been looking at these brackets.

From the TCL site it states - VESA Hole Pattern. 100 x 200. Screw Size. M6 x 12 + M6 x 15. Screw Quantity (pcs). 2 + 2.

Depending on the shape of the back of the TV , you could potentially use an adapter plate to bridge from your 200*100 to the 200*200 on the brackets,  This would give you access to a wider range

That mount kinda does the opposite of what I need. I've confirmed the vesa mount is 100x200

They can be used either way,

 

You mount the bracket onto the TV's 200*100 holes, then use the 200*200 holes to mount to the wall bracket

It comes down to the hole spacing on the 2 bars that clip onto the rail. All my ones have been ok mounting a 100x100 TV so you should be fine with a 200x100. You just might end up not able to use the exact height on the rail that you want so attach the rails to the tv before the plate to the wall so you know the height for it.

 

Also check that it will swing enough, as you might end up right at the top or bottom of the rail - and that might mean that the TV hits the wall when tipped to get the rails on the wall plate.
