> 3 dayThis is a great mount, very easy to install. However a few things to note: - Fireplace mount - If you are mounting over a fireplace, it is likely that there is a gap of 24 in the center of the fireplace where there are no studs. This is usually to allow room for the metal flu. This mount does not allow for installs greater than 16. However, this company also makes extension brackets which are available on Amazon prime for less then 20 bucks (Mounting Dream MD5231 TV Wall Mount Extended Bracket For 16” Wall plate, Fitting 18” - 24” Wood Stud). Even if you have to buy the extension mounts its still a good value and attaching the mount to the extension bracket was simple. - Tilting - The titling action did not work as I expected. Yes, you can tilt the TV, but it is more intended to tilt to the angle you want and then tighten the tilting hardware. If you dont tighten the hardware, the weight of the TV causes it to tilt all the forward. Maybe this just my TV, or how it is intended. Not a big deal either way, after having set the tilt angle, Ive never felt the need to change it.

> 3 dayFirst off if you own a typical American home with 16” spacing between studs this product most likely is not possible/feasible to mount on your walls. Longer explanation below At the holes widest points they are exactly 16” apart, However this leaves you no wiggle room whatsoever, to the point that you need to precisely consider the width of the screw when drilling the hole because again at its WIDEST point it’s 16” meaning if you account for the width of the screw you have closer to 15.5” of space between the holes. Most walls are not constructed so that the studs are placed at exactly 16”, there is a good chance you will have some studs that are spaced wider than 16” apart. If the spot you want to mount this in is like this, you will have to find a different spot and search around your house for studs that are lucky enough to be spaced just right for this product. Seriously, what were they thinking?? It’s clearly a design flaw. Second, this product was clearly used and returned before it was sent to me. Some of the parts were modified in such a way that if you had certain sized screw holes you would have a difficult time. The labeled bags were just left open so the parts could shake around the box, meaning I had to go through the process of figuring out which part corresponds to each letter/number. Also the mount itself was scratched up. I paid for a new product not a used one. Why was I shipped this? TLDR, if you want a used product with obvious design flaws that you can’t actually mount your tv with, then go ahead and waste your money like I did

Greater than one weekGreat TV mount, but you should have the option to choose what the support will be so they can provide with the proper anchors without having to request them after the delivery.

Greater than one weekThis mounting bracket was used in my office to mount a TV that would be used as both a monitor and a TV. As such I needed it to be able to pull from the wall and rotate at least 45 deg. It does this beautifully. The mounting hardware that was included has everything that you can need to mount this on 16 studs. Having said that it will NOT work on stud widths greater than 16. The kit included 2 levels. One was a small bullet level and the other just a bubble level. The bubble level had double sided tape that could be removed and installed on a wall template. You would then use the wall template to mark your drill locations. Excellent system. The bracket itself is very sturdy and the small TV that I mounted on it is WAY under the weight load for a bracket of this quality. I would certainly purchase this again if needed.

Greater than one weekI like this mount, but I probably wouldnt buy it again. I knew my studs were 16 inch on center, so I knew this should have worked. But what I had forgotten to pay attention to was the need for the TV to be positioned in the center of that 16 inch span! I have a niche where I put the TV and the studs are not centered on that spot, they were 4 inches off. So this mount wouldnt work. The instructions tell you to use some wood to fix this issue but that pushes the TV further off the wall and looks kinda ugly. So I did the next best thing, I put in plenty of wall anchors and relied on the one stud I could hit. It should be fine as most of the time we use the TV flat against the wall and the niche makes it unlikely that well be pulling it out at an angle. I love this thing for the simple convenience of being able to pull the TV out and access the back to change cables or whatever. It does a good job. And it was a great price. Just too bad you cant move the pivot point over on the wall brackets.

> 3 dayThis mount was barely 1/2 the price of a comparable product at local retailer. I was a bit skeptical of what to expect of the quality, but really did not want to spend a bunch of extra money on a mount. I am pleased with the mount. First of all, it was easy to install. Took maybe 30 minutes, and that was with me moving slowly. The hardest part of the install was finding the studs in my wall. This product came with all the necessary bolts, and also with a nice template for locating/marking where to drill your wall (once you locate studs). Also, the mounting instructions are fairly well written, which is unusual with so many products nowadays; these instructions are clear, and broken down into small enough steps to make it a breeze. Secondly, the mount itself is fantastic. The range of adjustments is vast, and making adjustments is easy (easy again because of good instructions). This mount feels sturdy, and all the joints were tight so it does not wobble. My TV is a 55 unit, and this mount is supporting the TV perfectly. Finally, at this price point, it is really a bargain. There is no reason to spend the high retail prices unless you just cant wait a couple days to receive this item in a shipment!

> 3 dayEasy to hang. I like the multiple swivel features of this design. Very easy to pull out from wall, turn, tip and adjust. Feel safe with a 74” flat screen hanging above our fireplace. Have bought two, one for living room, and one for rec room. Would buy again.

> 3 dayVersatile articulating panel TV bracket puts your TV exactly where you want it! Get the viewing angle right whether you tilt the TV down or aim it to the left or right for the best view. I found this to be a quality, solidly constructed, articulating wall mount for my 55 TV. This model is designed for wall studs with 16 centers. Studs further apart require a different model. CAVEATS: 1. Drywall alone will not provide adequate support. The mount itself is heavy and built for large TVs and an overkill on a small TV. 2. Centering on a wall. If mounting on wood studs with 16 centers, you may not be able to place the mount exactly where you want. The mounting frame itself is approximately 17. Centering may require additional materials. 3. Try to obtain a mounting template from the seller before purchase to avoid a return. It can also be mounted on solid wood or concrete. I mounted mine on cultured stone, which is made from concrete. It is not real stone. Mounting on concrete requires a hammer drill and hammer drill bit for concrete, so an investment in equipment may be required. Tapcon concrete screws can usually be screwed into the drilled holes and provide strong support. It is much easier to attach to wood wall studs with wood screws. Studs may not, however, always be exactly 16 apart. It will take two people to lift a large TV onto the mount. Much of the wiring could be done before the lift. Since the mount adjusts, you do have adequate clearance to place wiring after the TV is installed. The mount is very compact and is inconspicuous. The TV moves freely to tilt up or down, or side to side. The more it is adjusted, the more wall clearance is required, thereby requiring you to pull the bracket forward. The instructions are excellent. Parts for installing various TVs are provided. A free HDMI cord, a level and assorted spacers are included. A template is also provided to mark where fasteners should be located.

> 3 dayI spent about six hours trying to install a different tv mount, before getting stuck because of the placement of my studs. I bought this mount because it has a different mounting plate, and it took maybe one hour to install. Not complicated, easy to follow instructions, even has trouble shooting tips. Highly recommend.
