> 3 dayGreat product, high quality, and not manufactured in China. I mounted our bracket on an inner, non-load-bearing wall in which the 2x4s are oddly spaced. However, there were more than enough mounting slots in the bracket to deal with that issue. Phew! However, because of the odd spacing, the bracket base is badly-centered between our closet and bathroom door jambs. We have a 43 inch Samsung with only 45 inches of space to work with. Thankfully, the support arms of the bracket have a wide range of motion. We can move the screen so that the Samsung looks perfectly centered. As for mounting the bracket, take your time! Measure several times to avoid punching unnecessary wholes into the sheetrock. And as the wood screws are long, drill the holes slowly to make sure the screws begin and end in the studs. Use small diameter drill bits to progressively larger diameters before you get to the 7/16 bit included in the box. Since the bracket is solid, it is heavy as well. I was able to mount the bracket entirely by myself, though it took some strength. Im 61 btw. We love this product and highly recommend it. Enjoy!

> 3 dayEasy to install .. A little heavy may need an extra pair of hands.

> 3 dayWere about 2 weeks in to our install and everything is holding up great! We have a HUGE 83 OLED hanging above the fireplace. This mount is very sturdy and hasnt given up an inch! The install was pretty simple and straightforward. If I had to select a con, it would be that sometimes when you position the TV, it moves pretty swiftly where your cheeks pucker a bit because you think the whole TV is falling. I believe there is a screw in the back that tightens this feature up some, but with the TV hung its kind of difficult to access. All in all, it is definitely worth the price.

> 3 dayI dont wanna be *that guy* that breaks the five-star review streak that this great product has thus far, but I do want to offer a word of warning: if you have an expensive and ultra-thin 65 OLED from a company with a G and an L in the name, be super-uber-certain that the tilt adjustment thingie on this mount (pictured) is VERY well torqued. If its not, the TV could drop down full-tilt while youre enjoying a bowl of ice cream on the couch, thereby cracking the screen and resulting in a $3k paperweight (after just one week of ownership, I might add). Unfortunately, nobody will replace our brand new TV because we didnt lie and tell them it was cracked when we received it—a suggestion from an employee at the store where we purchased the TV before he sent us up to the customer service counter. What an expensive mistake/lesson this has all been. And one that divorces are made of (OK, not really but it wasnt pretty around our house for several hours after the incident). Frick! We are keeping the mount because its very solid (unlike the TV), not to mention its screwed into some farmhouseyish shiplap that would be expensive to replace. Just know that the tilt adjuster and the hex key leveling screws on this mount need to be tight as all get out or it could break your stuff. Sigh.

> 3 dayVery well built TV mount. I used it for an 85 screen. It was very easy to install and it is extremely sturdy to hold this size of screen, which is heavy. It is also very easy to tilt and level once installed. High quality looks and materials. Definitely recommend.

> 3 dayI searched for a TV mount that would hold our 75 Samsung TV. I found the Echogear product after looking at a all kinds of others online. I read several positive reviews and some negative reviews (about 200 to 1 positive). Echogear was fairly priced. I installed the Echogear full motion articulating wall mount about 4 days ago. So far, outstanding. My TV is 87 lbs. The extension and rotation have been great. It goes back to the starting position thoroughly. After the tilt was set for where we wanted it, I tightened the allen screw on one side and used the turn knob to tighten the other side. It does not slip, it has stayed perfectly in place. When the TV is extended out, the rotation left and right moves flawlessly. I read a review that stated the TV mount would twist out of square when extended out. A suggestion that might make a difference. You can extend the TV out, get behind the TV and loosen the screws on the 2 lower lock brackets and slide the TV over slightly to shift the weight. It may be out balance and sliding it left or right could maybe make a difference. Mine is perfectly square when pushed back into the wall. BTW, I would make it a point to push it back into the wall when done because that is where it would be at its strongest point. It retracts fully. It also has 2 allen screws on the back that can be loosened slightly then, after leveling the TV, tightened. Just do the allen screw on the left side first and level it. I have already re-leveled it once and it is perfectly square. I read a review that stated the hardware was inferior, but I have not experienced that yet. Another area of concern I read about were the 2x4s not lining up for the mount. I had that situation. I read a few ways around it, but I found the best option was to install a 3/4 piece of plywood. (1 plywood might be even better) I cut the piece to 14 h x 44 w. Basically a couple inches past the end of each 2x4. The bracket height was about 10 so I cut that to 14 height. I had 3 2x4s to secure the plywood to. I used 6 3 lag bolts (pre drill the holes) to secure it to the studs. Then, I was able to use the template and follow the instructions. I used 12, 1.5 lag bolts.(again, pre drilling makes it easier) 3 on each corner. Just to make sure. Over kill? maybe...So far so good. Although wall anchors were mentioned by some, I would not feel comfortable with all the stress on the back of the drywall since you will be extending and rotating the TV. I am trying to upload photos but this site is only allowing a few and not all the ones I wanted to show. Sorry... If I can help with more pics for someone or to pass on more info, let me know. Quick side note, although the sound seems ok on the TV right now, with a full motion TV wall mount, buying a sound bar and attaching it to the bottom of the TV will aim the sound in the direction you are rotating and watching the TV (that was told to me buy a Best Buy guy that really helped me). I havent bought a soundbar yet, but I probably will. I am only writing this review because I received so much great information, positive and negative, from the reviews and I wanted to possibly help someone else. Hope I succeeded.

> 3 dayIt installed pretty uneventfully though making sure everything was level and making sure I was drilling into the center of the studs was anxiety inducing. It’s up though and everything was easy to adjust to get the TV just right. Follow the instructions and it will work out. As a heads up, my Samsung TV included unboxing instructions that included all the measurements you would need to help decide where to place the wall mount.

> 3 dayPackage arrived on time but the box was damaged and had no tape to keep box from opening. It is a heavy box and contents are robust but a bit more abuse in handling would have allowed everything to fall out of one end (the end it was sitting on). The instructions are well written, illustrated, and even a bit amusing. Sturdy bolts are supplied but the size I needed were not included. I mounted a Series 6 TCL - 65 inch - which is a 300x300 pattern with 6mm bolts. The shape of the rear of the TV required spacers. The 6mm bolts supplied were too short to use the supplied large spacer and have sufficient thread to ensure a good hold without watching my TV fall on the floor. The solution would be to either include more of the small spacers, which would be wobbly when stacked, or include a mid-size spacer. I optioned to buy the correct length of bolt, myself (6mm x 40mm), and also added split/lock washers. I also feel lock washers should have been included, but thats for my own peace-of-mind, especially if you are going to manipulate/move the TV, on occasion. The unit seems sturdy, allows great range of movement, has good instructions (including an excellent template), and is reasonably priced. Just be prepared to buy some additional hardware.
