All I can say is wow! I had purchased a new-to-me 75 LG 103 lb TV from a friend and wanted to make sure I did things right by mounting it properly to the wall. Spent a couple hours going over different links hed sent me on various wall mounts that just didnt scream buy-me. I decided to take all the info I gathered and do some searching for myself, and came across this mount. Best decision Ive made was going with this bad boy. Shipping took a day with Prime and had it in less than 24 hours. The instructions were straightforward and to the point, and in plain English! Gotta love these guys sense of humor too.. its refreshing to take something serious and make it fun which is exactly what theyve done. The packaging was neatly packed and everything was in tact. Most important thing I recommend is reading over the instructions in its entirety before attempting to mount anything. Hell, I read it a couple times just to make sure I didnt eff anything up. Second thing I did was tighten up the tilt screws (I plan to keep this behemoth upright since its so dang heavy). Then I moved onto the hardware. I looked at my TV and could see it didnt require long screws, so I started with the smallest ones first. Screwed it in finger tight with the bracket and washer in place and realized it was just a hair too long and the bracket still moved a little. I kept contemplating using the longer ones with the spacers but I just couldnt put a piece of plastic on something like that, just seems wrong to have plastic on something that weighs a ton. So I put it down for the night and went back to it the next day. I decided to go to my local hardware store (which Im sure might not be necessary) and bought 8 more M8 washers which were twice as thick as the ones included. So glad I did too. The brackets then tightened up nicely with those same screws. Just kinda wish they put more washers in there instead of all those plastic janky spacers. But anyhow, I got that sorted out and moved onto finding the studs. The studfinder I bought same time as the mount was a cheapo which I sorta regretted, but managed to make it work. Spent most of the time on this making sure I hit center on the studs. After that, I had help getting the mount on the wall (strongly suggest using two people). Once I had the mount levelled and tightly secured on the wall, then came getting this beast of a TV on the mount. Took two of us to do that too (would have been insanely difficult with one person). Mounted right up and couldnt be happier with the results! Only thing Id wish it had were thicker, sturdier washers. The ones included were really thin and lightweight. Nothing $1.67 couldnt fix from the hardware store tho :)

Ive mounted probably a dozen TVs and in brick and drywall (with and without studs) - each with a different mount bracket - and ECHOGEARs is the best quality and easiest to mount Ive ever used. Heres why: - Comes with a mounting template (missing, strangely, from so many other brands) that makes hole positioning a breeze. - Comes with every assortment of mounting bolt under the sun for attaching your television to the mount. - Has tilt adjustment in the bracket (think roll axis of a plane) so, despite my OCD driving me to mount it as level as possible, I can still tweak it once mounted. - Massive range of positioning for swiveling your TV to left or right, and very smooth articulation for repositioning once mounted (which with this one we do regularly). - Large spacing in the mount plate so if youre running wires in the wall it can accommodate even double-sized panels sitting within the open spaces of the mount plate. - Accommodates a crazy range of TV sizes, good for future-proofing! Worth considering: the 42-85 mount is quite heavy at just over 25 lbs. Combine this with its size and it may be tough for some to install solo. In my case, as soon as I had one lag bolt partially in a stud it was like having a second helper (that bolt could support one side while I did the other) but you may want a hand for just the first bolt. That said, the weight is indicative of the build quality. Im pretty sure Ill never buy a different brand mount again. This one is just too good and was so easy to install, especially considering the sub-$100 price. Absolutely great product.

I mounted my old 42 Vizio on this yesterday. While some may not like the corny instructions I was a fan and found them extremely easy to follow. I opted for this mount over others for several reasons including price, the width of the wall mount itself to future-proof against wider studs, the full articulation, and user reviews. I am definitely not a DIYer and had my heavy 65 4k tv professionally mounted. I figured for my older and lighter 42 Id give it a try myself. The instructions were easy and I took it slow to make sure I did everything correctly. It was an easy install and I had almost all of the tools on hand: stud finder, power drill, level, tape measure (correct placement of the tv is key!), screwdriver/screwdriver drill attachments, and a socket wrench. Due to the shape of the bracket with a lip my socket wrench could not tighten the screws into the wall the whole way - I had a set of flat wrenches. Make sure you have one that protrudes out so you can tighten the bolts in a recessed area. Im not sure the technical term for all of this but it was just something I had not thought of. After a quick trip to Home Depot and a $5 attachment for my power drill, it was off to the races. I hung this mount myself up high in my bedroom using a sturdy ladder with a support that was able to hold the mount up while I tightened. Its manageable to hang it yourself but I would recommend having a friend help you out just to be safe - the mount is heavy! The bedroom in my apartment has five walls - think about taking one of the corners and putting a small 6-ft wide wall in its place - so I wanted the full motion mount to be able to orient my tv properly for my bed. The mount worked like a dream - easy swivel motion and once I had tightened the tilt mechanism on the back of the tv it was good to go! I took my good old time with the installation to make sure everything went smoothly and was just how I wanted it and finished in about an hour. For reference, my only other DIY experience is assembling Ikea furniture six years ago, drilling a coat rack into the wall, and swapping out shower heads. Make sure you have all the proper tools, measure everything out, take your time, and youll have a great wall mount up!

Easy to install but wish it had a leveler built in, I had one so its not a big deal. The instructions were easy to follow and came with a template but to make thing easier, youll need help. The mount is a bit on the heavy side for one person to hold up and to screw in the bolts.

Wow.. I was impressed of the quality of this TV Mount. Keep in mind, that mine was for an OLED 55 TV and its not super light. This TV mount is not for the weak, its got some weight to it but once installed easy to maneuver. Use the template provided to your studs on the wall - once you find your studs and use a 7/32 drill bit to make your initial hole; get a helper/2nd person to hold up the mount as you drill in the 1/2 lag bolts. Once installed, it works as designed and exceed expectations.

Its just hella expensive...... I really wish I would have searched for others and compare instead of just ordering what the boyfriend found. Really expensive...

easy to install no photos as it was installed by GeekSquad !!

We worried a little about our abilities to install this because everyone advised hiring a pro. But it went up fine.

This was easy to install. All you need is to locate your studs and use the template to drill the holes. Easy as that.

After reading all the reviews and getting this in I totally agree it is a solid mount. I weigh 250lbs and on every mount I install I do a quick pull-up to make sure all is secure. No problems holding my weight for a quick test. I have mounted over 200+ 75” displays and this is now my favorite scissor mount. You pay a little more than some others but the quality is there. The only mod I had to do was grab a bolt and nut from the local hardware store for the tilt. The tv I mounted came in at 76lbs and the mount couldn’t keep it tilted up. Again this is not a deal breaker and like all the other reviews was able to correct this with a long bolt. I look forward to ordering this mount now through my venders for future jobs.
