Greater than one weekThis is a nice, strong mount system that allows the TV to be tilted in any direction and leveled in the event that you didnt mount the wall bracket perfectly. The manufacturer goes to great effort to seem like they are your buddy on social media instead of just another random chinese parts builder. I received numerous emails shortly after making this purchase that were written in a friendly tone with light humor sprinkled throughout, and reading through the instruction manual, the same style of writing and humor is found there as well. All in all, its a good product at a fair price and Echogear seems like a good company that is ready to stand behind their product. Regarding the think twice phrase in my headline, I ordered this mount at the same time that I ordered the LG OLED online, so the only information I was going off of was whether or not the particular VESA configuration of this mount matched up with the TVs. I received the TV and the wall mount on the same day, and upon assembly of the mount system, I realized that the LGs VESA holes are at the bottom of the television, instead of in the middle. This is because OLED tvs are essentially made of glass from midway up, leaving the bottom of the tv as the only place to put the mount. The reason this is an issue is because the length of the arms on this mount that attach to the back of the television are quite long. Its not a design problem as the arms are what allow the tv to be tilted up and down, but since the LGs mounting holes are so low, the arms are clearly visible below the television after its mounted on the wall. Its not a super big deal as it doesnt impede the function of the mount in any way, but the arms being visible below the tv does not make for a very clean look. I presume this is most likely the case for other OLED televisions as well. Just something to keep in mind. Edt: I read some other reviews and noticed some people said it takes a crew of people to install a tv using this mount. That was not my experience at all. I used this mount for a 55 inch television and I did all the work on my own in about an hour and a half. The only hassle was getting the mount arms on the back of the TV to latch onto the wall bracket. I had to redo it a few times before I got both arms to finally grab the wall mount. If I had to make one suggestion to the manufacturer, it would be to please have some kind of locking mechanism on the arms to help with this step. The arms really want to move and twist when you are trying to get them to latch onto the wall bracket. it would have been a lot easier if I could have locked them in place.

> 3 dayI have a 65 inch LG and the product works exactly as shown in the video. My son and I got the whole thing done in 30 minutes just like in the video - although the video shows the person drinking a beer before starting I waited until afterward for the beer. Simple leveling of the TV after install by the turn of a screw. Strongly recommend this product.

> 3 dayMy Oled by LG fit perfectly. No need for extensions. Just realigned the mount lower on the wall since the holes are not in the center. No problem.

> 3 dayI mounted a 75” Samsung QLED above fireplace. Tight fit, which I knew would be a problem. Only had about of inch of clearance which made it difficult to get the two top hooks on the rail. Wound up modifying the rail so I could slide it on from the side. Also added two more lag bolts for a total of 6. Really appreciate that you can raise it some and level it with an allen wrench once it’s up. One suggestion would be to change allen wrench to to torx. More people have torx with handles than allen wrenches with handles. The little allen wrench is difficult to work with.
