Mounting Dream UL Listed TV Mount Bracket for Most 42-75 Inch Flat Screen TVs, Full Motion TV Wall Mounts with Swivel Articulating Dual Arms, Max VESA 600x400mm, 100 LBS Loading, Fits 16 Wood Studs, MD2296

I bought this to mount a tv in the master bedroom but unfortunately the studs are 24” on center rather than 16”. For that reason I couldn’t use it and the return date had passed. They sell extensions for it but those cost most than many mounts so I simply order another MD mount that had 32” rails. I’ll eventually buy the extensions and use this in a guest bedroom.

perfect quality and material

This is extremely well made and very good price I purchased 7 of them and every one of them was perfect!!! A++++

Easy to install

I’ve mounted 4 TVs with Mounting Dream products and they’re the best mounts I’ve ever used. Installation is extremely straightforward with the provided directions and almost every combination of part you need is there. (If you’re mounting to concrete, go ahead a get the concrete anchors prior to install) Great product and I tell everyone about it when they see how nicely my tv moves around on the wall!

Great mount for 55in tv.

Let me just start by saying the quality is awesome! Right out of the box, the paint on every surface of every component was flawless. The metal was rounded off and no jagged edges. The installation instructions were very easy and I had my Samsung 60 tv mounted in no time. There is an included template with a stick on bubble level and I used painters tape to attach it to the wall, after using my stud finder to mark center on 2 of the studs in my wall. After I had the template taped up and perfectly level, I drilled the pilot holes then the larger holes into the studs. The template was dead on to drill into the studs. Next up is putting the mount on the wall. The lag bolts included are ridiculously overkill and I have full confidence in this mount. I pulled on the mount with a good bit of weight. The lag bolts are probably 3 long and 1/2 in diameter. I ran them down with an impact driver and it was struggling. I had to torque them with a 1/2 ratchet. I said to my self, wow.... thats not going anywhere!!! Once the mount was on the wall, I began assembling the mounts to the back of the tv. They come with multiple washer, spacers, bolts, etc to adapt to your TV. In my case, my tv has a slight curve on the back housing and I needed the longest bolts and the thickest spacers. Once I had the mounts on the back of the TV all I had to do was lift this huge awkward tv, but no matter, the mounts are super easy to use. The top of the mounts on the TV attaches to the bars on the wall mount simply hangs there. With my oddly spaced wall/studs, I had to slide the tv on the mount all the way to the right to center above my entertainment center. Once the I had it situated, all I had to do was flip the locking tabs up on the bottom of the mounts and insert the screws to lock it onto the mount. Ive had the TV mounted for days and it shows absolutely no signs of coming off the wall by itself! Id almost bet I could sit on this mount and it wouldnt budge. Dont spend big money on a mount, go for this one! Put the money you save towards a sound bar, led backlights for your tv, a new entertainment center, or anything else. I also recommend purchasing an in-wall wiring solution. The only wire I wasnt able to hide is the optical cable for my sound bar because it was too short to run from my entertainment center to my TV. However, it will suffice once I mount my soundbar to my tv.

Great to mount our TVs. Very strong and sturdy and at a lower price than Best Buy.

The finish of all parts was excellent, there were multiple options for screws to mount the TV and stand-offs for between the mount and the wall, and movement of the TV when mounted is smooth. Very nice. This unit is very strong, with dual arms top and bottom in a parallelogram arrangement that allows for a wide range of angular motion of your TV. Tilt is possible, and I was glad to have the rotation adjustability to level the TV side of the mount. I needed to mount this to a stone fireplace fascia, and the stone had a lot of variation of surface projection, so I had to (1) use masonry anchor bolts, not provided; and (2) use several of the plastic stand-offs provided with the mount. I hammer-drilled into the mortar lines between the stone, so I didnt mar any of the stone, and bought and installed some 5/16 dia x 2.5 long 18-8 stainless anchor bolts (yes, available on Amazon.) Because the mortar lines were a little narrower than the provided stand-offs, I sanded the sides of the latter to just fit between the stones on each side of the mortar line at the holes. This arrangement allowed the backplate of the mount to stand off the proudest of the stone behind it by about 1/16 while providing a very strong attachment to the chimney. It easily held my 220# weight (though I did NOT try that at full extension of the mount!!!) The rest of the assembly is simple, once you correlate the instructions part numbers to those printed on the clever parts packets and larger parts. If youre mounting to a stud wall, you MUST find the centers of two adjacent studs (typically on 16 centers) to screw your 5/16 diameter lag bolts into. I would recommend lag bolts at least 2.5 long (3 preferable, IMO), with pre-drilled, full depth holes maybe 1/8 diameter. A ratchet set makes driving the lag bolts easy, but it can be done with a small (~6) adjustable crescent wrench. You really, really dont want to drill or screw into any house wiring. I cant help you figure out where those run in your walls-- but you could drill a pilot hole (between the studs, through the drywall only) and probe to see if any house wiring runs through the stud bay at the hole heights you are considering. And, beware, you must NOT just use drywall to support this mount and your TV-- the drywall will NOT hold the load. You MUST use lag bolts driven into the meat of two adjacent studs to make this mount work for you. If your TV is larger than 55 diag, you are really going to want two people to lift it into place. Even 55 may be iffy, depending on your strength and the height of your mount.

Definitely a sturdy mount! Far better then most currently available. I had to build a custom fiberglass mount only because the area in which I mounted the tv had studs oddly 18 apart on center
