Product Overview
The Ergotron 45-385-223 Neo-Flex VHD Cantilever Wall Mount is a heavy-duty mounting solution for compatible large flat-panel displays and televisions. Its articulated cantilever arm allows the screen to extend away from the wall and move horizontally for flexible viewing. The low-profile design allows the display to sit close to the wall when the arm is retracted.
Designed for commercial display installations, meeting rooms, presentation areas, and other environments requiring adjustable screen positioning, this mount combines an articulated arm, display mounting plate, wall plate, and cable management components.
Display Movement and Positioning
The cantilever mechanism allows the mounted display to move between a retracted wall position and an extended viewing position. Tilt adjustment helps users establish a suitable viewing angle, while horizontal movement supports repositioning within the limits of the installation.
- Tilt adjustment: Up to 20 degrees.
- Horizontal movement: Up to 180 degrees of pan, subject to the installation and surrounding clearance.
- Maximum extension: Approximately 14 inches (35.7 cm) from the wall.
- Minimum profile: Approximately 3.2 inches (8.2 cm) from the wall.
- Screen leveling: Integrated leveling adjustment helps align the mounted display.
Display Compatibility
The Neo-Flex VHD is designed for compatible flat-panel displays typically measuring 37 to 63 inches and weighing no more than 80 lb (36.3 kg). Screen size is a guideline rather than the sole compatibility criterion. The display's weight and mounting-hole configuration must also be supported.
The mount accommodates supported VESA mounting patterns ranging from 200 x 100 mm to 600 x 400 mm. Verify the exact mounting pattern of the intended display before ordering.
Construction and Cable Management
The mount uses extruded aluminum arm components and a black finish. Integrated cable management and covers help organize display cables along the moving arm, reducing exposed cable runs around the installation.
The included Lift n' Lock attachment design simplifies attaching a compatible display to the mount. A Spider 46 adapter is supplied to support additional display mounting configurations.

Applications
This mount can be used for compatible large displays in conference rooms, meeting spaces, presentation areas, commercial environments, and shared viewing spaces. Its articulated design is useful where the screen needs to be repositioned for different viewing locations or returned close to the wall when not in use.
DC Supplies Product Note
Before selecting this mount, confirm the display's weight and VESA hole pattern, and check the wall structure and installation requirements. The arm's full movement also requires sufficient clearance around the display and adjacent walls or furniture. Do not exceed the stated maximum load capacity.
