Mounting 24" TV on Interior Wall?
I removed the sliding door in our bedroom to be able to do this. The Vizio TV I am looking at only weighs six pounds. I found a wall mount that will span over two studs. As far as I can tell there is no backing for a TV even though there are connections and power for a TV. The mount will tilt, but otherwise it should not move.
Has anyone done this before?

This seems strange that they put connections in an area but, no backing? I can only assume that there were no labels on the wall or ceiling that would have said "mount Tv here". Check the ceiling near the connections. Some manufacturers used a flip down style Tv mount on the ceiling if there wasn't enough wall space in the bedroom which, sounds like your situation since you removed the door to gain room.

I checked again and there are no indication of additional blocking or stickers for a TV mount.

You may want to post a question the Vibe sub forum, and maybe want to ask if there are any other owners of your year, make and model of Vibe to see if anyone has a TV in this area. It may take awhile because you have a very new 2023 model, so only info from like owners will really count.

I did that on a previous question and I was chastised for posting the same question on more than one thread.

All you have to do, to avoid duplicate postings, is ask any moderator to move this thread to the Vibe sub-forum.

Articulating or Fixed TV Mount?
I have found two possible location for mounting a 24" TV. One is on an outside wall with an articulating mount. The other one is directly at the foot of the bed with a fixed mount that tilts. I want something that either has a quick release to remove the TV or a very good locking mount. If I go the corner articulating route there would be less hassle of running the cables. All of the connections are right there. If I go the fixed route I would have to run about 4' of cables. For this reason I am sure my wife wants to go the articulating route. But I need one that either is lockable or has a quick release to remove the TV while traveling.
