This is just what you want if you're looking to wall mount your big screen TV. I've been using this type of mount for years. And, hear me, this is important...this unit comes assembled. Just take it out of the box and it's ready to mount. No assembly required.
The good. It's well made. It can be mounted by one person...if you are experienced. It articulates easily and over a range that exceeds the mount I'm using now. All the parts are there...
The bad...nothing.
Just remember to predrill your studs before you try driving the lag bolts that are used to secure the mount to the wall. And, you should use the outermost holes on the mount...they're 16" apart and that coinsides with the distance between stud centers.
A word of caution...if mounting to drywall, you should always find the studs, and then this mount should be screwed to the wall studs. Your TV might not seem as if it weighs much, but it can creat a lot of force when it's pulled away from the wall, and unsupported drywall will not handle the forces generated by moving and adjusting your TV over and over.
Just my observations. Buy one.
I was suprised with all the hardware this comes with. It came with multiple metric bolts for different thread sizes for different TV's. It comes with everything you need. As long as you mount it to a stud its not going anywhere.
Versatile 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.
Fit my Samsung 55 perfectly. The directions are easy to follow and straight forward. All the necessary hardware was included and the bracket itself is every bit the quality of the name brands they sell at the big box stores for five times the price. Leveling and tilting the unit was a cinch.
If you found this review to be helpful please indicate so. If there's something missing, or you'd like additional info, don't hesitate to ask. I write these in the hope that it will help other buyers make a decision with so many similar products available for purchase.
Update: After several months of use, this bracket continues to impress. It hasn't loosened in the slightest. Even had compliments from a couple of friends that install professionally.
This was easy to install, it took about 30 minutes. Make sure you have a stud finder (be it a strong magnet or more fancy electronic stud finder) and drill handy. This wall mount extends about 2 feet from the wall swivels and tilts sufficiently to have it anywhere on the wall and view be angled for good TV viewing. Even though I had an idea of how much more space it would free up under and around the TV it was still a bit shocking to see everything clear and up off the ground. The benefit of being off the ground, would be stopping the leading cause of preventable death, stubbing your toe. The screws on the bottom prevent it from sliding horizontally when adjusting the TV. I will be buying another one of these for our bedroom TV, 10/10. A+.

The brand name says it all! I mounted my 2010 Panasonic Viera 50" TV which weighs a ton in about 40 minutes of the package arriving at my door. This thing has many many adjustment capabilities and feels absolutely solid!
Never even opened the instruction book. Didnt have to. The entire mount is pre-assembled. Its nothing more than making sure your studs are 16" on center, finding the stud you want to start with, mark center of the stud where you want to mount at, drill, insert one screw and snug to make sure the bracket will not move on you, level the bracket, mount opposing screw snugly, drill 2 bottom holes, insert the screws and tighten every thing up and mount the TV. Your done!
Look no further, at this price and the outstanding quality, you will not be disappointed!
I just installed this mount. Back surface was concrete/ stucco so no delays in locating studs. Once I had located my drill and bits and screws, took me maybe 15 minutes to get TV up. The install was very easy for 1 person with some experience. I was previously using a $400 sanus mount which worked great but I replaced it because 1) it didn’t fit newer TVs because too narrow between TVs bracket holes and 2) I needed to be able to put up the TV and take it down during summer rain storms without assistance and the 8 year old Sanus which had held 3 prior TVs was incredibly heavy and was a 2 person job. Anyway, this Mount feels real solid and seems like a steal for the price. Good smooth motion and even has vertical tilt. The bolts to attach to TV were varied and fit my cheap 55 Roku tv (florida is tough on outside TVs). I can’t comment on the mounting hardware because I always just buy tapcon kits for concrete and heavy hardware for other installs to avoid hardware issues. Honestly I cannot think of any way to make it better except maybe some attachment for a center speaker. Attached are photos of my old sanus, the panel installed on the wall, tv mounted with cover ordered on amazon, and back of tv mounted.
One thing important to mention is that each TV has different heights at which the bars are attached on the back of the TV. So it is important - BEFORE measuring and mounting the plate in the wall - to attach the bars on the back of the TV to determine the height at which the TV will rest on the mount. The Roku mounts near bottom of TV making the TV sit higher on the wall so I had the lower the plate on the wall from where my old Panasonic had been mounted.
This is a great little TV mount. Installation was simple, and the ability to move the TV is really nice. My new TCL 55P607 looks great on the wall with this mount. It feels very sturdy, and has ample positions including vertical tilt (which is great if your installation wasn't 100% level). Movement is smooth and easy, and it holds position very well. The instructions are some of the best I've seen with a wall mount.
The included template with stick on level is more trouble than it's worth. You need to "level" the level to the template to make it actually usable, and it's just easier to hold the mount up the wall with a level sitting on top. You get a much more accurate placement like that. While it comes with a full set of bolts and spacers, I found the spacers necessary for my specific installation weren't going to fit well so I had to go out and purchase 4 additional M6 bolts. I could have made due with the included hardware, but this gave me a more professional installation. Also it goes a lot smoother with 2 people, although I was able to do the entire installation myself.
While the included "freebies" are nice, a plastic level, Velcro straps, and an HDMI cable, but I would have rather they kept those out and lowered the price. The level is very small and made of cheap plastic, but I guess I could give it to someone who doesn't already own a level. The HDMI cable while of decent quality was too short for my installation, but 6' should be long enough for many applications.
This being a full motion mount, it does stick out quite a bit from the wall. If you need something tight against the wall, a full motion mount is not the way to go.
Overall I would say this is a great TV mount for the price. I would highly recommend it.
This thing is the way to go if you want to mount your flat screen that's in this size range. Very sturdy and holds my 50 inch vizio with no issues. The other great thing is the amount of mobility the arms have... the studs I had to attach the mount to were not centered in the section of wall, but with the mobility of the arms it doesn't matter! Excellent price point as well... you won't find a mount of this quality for a better price. Look no further for your new TV mount.
For the price this is a great mount. I hung a new 55" LED TV that weights about 50lbs and I have no regrets. I have bought similar mounts saying that can go up to 55" only to be thoroughly disappointed in the quality and strength of the material but this seems like it could easily support a 50lb TV and more. I use the mount to pull the TV out about three inches and pivot the TV about 10 degrees to one side so I'm not exactly maximizing the pivoting potential but I have zero worries about the mount for my use. I would go as far as saying you could probably get away with putting a 60-65" TV on this mount if you weren't planning on pulling it out more than a couple inches. I'm sure if you pulled it out all the way it would still be fine assuming it's mounted solidly to a 2x4 in the wall but better safe than sorry. The 99lb max the seller claims could be a little optimistic if you planned on pulling it out from the wall but I wouldn't' worry at all if you planned on mounting a very heavy TV and leaving it flush or nearly flush against the wall with this mount.
Overall, great value and no need for anything more heavy duty for a newer (not uber heavy) 55" LED.
