This wall mount is extremely strong and able to support my new Samsung 55" flat screen. I was able to screw the mount into two wall studs top and bottom, ensuring this is mounted to the wall safely and w/o any concern of it coming loose. The tilt option and the quick release pull downs are easy to use. The quick release is a great safety assurance that no one is able to accidently lift the bottom of the TV away from the wall. But should you need to do so, each release is quickly accessed by hand and because the TV is a 55" unit, it hides the release pull down ribbons very well. You'll want to use a "real" level and not the 1" bubble level that comes with the wall mount.
Installing it was very easy, all (and more) of the screws, washers, connectors came in the package, so no need to have to run out to the hardware store due to missing parts. Instructions were written very well and easy to follow.
A steal. For the price and quality, you get with this purchase you cant go wrong. You get the mount (obviously) a pretty decent HDMI cord and a little level. It was super easy to assemble.
The amount of screws and wedges that come with will be a little overwhelming but once you find the right screw you're golden.
IMPORTANT: If you want some peace of mind, want to save some time, and effort, please buy some Driller Toggle Drywall Screws by Cobra to mount this. Photos attached of these. You can find these at Home Depot and I am sure online. But the wonderful thing about these is you do not have to find a stud to mount. Each screw holds 110 lbs. This is overkill but for your expensive tv, this is the peace of mind. My condo has some pretty thick metal studs and that just makes it difficult. I still recommend using a stud finder to avoid them, but these are great.
I looked at many different wall mounts and was unsure which to buy. Wall mounts for Samsung TV's are a little more challenging because many do not come with compatible bolts. This mount does comes with bolts compatible for a series of different manufacturers including Samsung and the 8000 Series 65in 2018 model. That saved me a trip to the local hardware store. Because the back of the TV is curved I had to fiddle with the brackets to make sure they were snug and secure them with some long spacers that came with the TV and a couple thin spacers that come with the mount. Securing the brackets was the most challenging part but really not that bad. Just take your time and make sure you do it right. Securing the mount to the wall is pretty easy once you get it level. A drill and a socket set and you are good to go. Once it is in a couple studs it is very secure and that TV is not going anywhere. I also paired this mount with the PowerBridge ONE-CK Recessed In-Wall Cable Management System to hide the wires which also works great. Very happy with this mount and would buy again.
I was skeptical when I opened the box but this is a very sturdy mount. It easily handles the weight of my 75" Sony. A couple tips... it comes in two pieces. When assembling, make sure to push both sides together so they are both lined up a perfectly horizontal. When adjusting the tilt mechanism, you'll want to use something as a gauge so both sides are tilted exactly the same. Mounting the wall mount is easy, but make sure to use a stud finder to locate the center of the studs so the lag bolts can grip securely. There's a little room for vertical play in the mounting slots so you'll be able to fine tune the leveling to some extent. You'll also be able to slide your TV left and right a little to get it centered.
BTW, the package include an HDMI cable and a level. I personally wouldn't trust either.
Very happy with the quality and build of this unit. Used it to mount my 65 inch TV... feels secure and the straps aren't visible with such a large TV. I would not recommend relying on the level included with the kit.... mine read off and I had to re-drill and adjust using my quality level... but once up, its up and it ain't coming down. Funny that brick and mortar stores charge 2 to 3 times the price for a unit like this. Thank you Mounting Dream, and Thank You Amazon... Hey, remember when you just basically sold books... I do; oh how far we've come.

I found this TV mount well made and easy to assemble. It had everything I needed for installation (including easy to understand directions and tons of washers, screws and spacer options). The mount itself has a nice power coat finish. It is quick and easy to assemble. The kit comes with various screw sizes, spacers and washers to mount the arm brackets to your TV. I had no trouble attaching it to my 43" Vizio. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU USE YOUR OWN TRUSTED LEVEL! The small levels that come with these kits are not reliable.
The most time consuming part of the whole process was marking my measurements and finding the studs. 4 sturdy lag bolts were included to mount the bracket. Once mounted, the TV is easily attached and locked on with the pull straps. Some folks don't like that the straps hang down. You can tape them up if its a big deal but they are way easier to use than the alternative allen screw style. It takes mere seconds to hang or remove the TV. This mount is very adjustable. Besides tilt angle, you can also slide the TV left or right a few inches and you can remount the arm hangers up or down for height too. Another plus is I get to use all the leftover hardware for future home projects.
I bought this to hang a 37" Vizio TV on the wall. I'm pretty satisfied with it. Lots of flexibility with spacers, holes, and bolts. Seems plenty sturdy for my set.
The only slight "gotcha" to be aware of is if you try to set the tilt angle before hanging it on the wall, the latches on the bottom will not engage. It has to be almost completely straight vertical before they will clear the bottom rail and properly lock in place. You can tilt it after its hanging on the wall though. The trick is to tighten the bolts to where they are just tight enough to keep it from moving by itself, but not to tight to prevent movement with a firm pull.
Fortunately I realized this before I hoisted the set in place the first time so no big deal. You can also tighten them after you have it in the desired position, but there isn't much room to get your hand in behind the set once it's mounted so I chose to pre-adjust them. If you had a really long Allen wrench it might be easier, but I didn't.
All in all a decent mount for the money. Dinged one star because the mounting quirk may trip some people up. They could have altered the design a little to eliminate that problem.
Admittedly I was skeptical of this mount. I have two mounts of another more expressive brand that were both installed by a professional. The other brand cost $150.00 each and supports up 150 lbs. This significantly cheaper Mounting Dream mount features the same specs and performs just as well. This mount is very sturdy and offers quick disconnect pull straps to easily remove the TV from the mount if needed.
Attaching this mount to the wall was very easy with the aid of the included leveler. Make sure to find the studs in the wall with a stud finder. For additional peace of mind, use a magnetic stud finder in addition to the traditional one to locate the nails in the studs. There is nothing worse than discovering a metal nail in a spot where you need to screw in your last bolt.
Surprisingly, I was able to use this mount for a 32 inch Vizio TV! It fits in the center of the mount snugly but it fits! I have bought two of these mounts to hang up two TV's in the bedrooms (the 32 inch and a 50 inch). I did the mounting and wire/wall work myself. The results came out very nice combined with this mount! If I had more rooms I would buy more of these mounts to hang TV's on. If you're not handing up some huge 80 inch TV, there is no need to spend $150.00 on a mount when you can buy this and get the same result!
I bought this to mount my 65 inch Samsung TV and it was a pretty easy installation.
I only bought this and a magnetic stud finder (awesome by the way...) and drilled holes into the studs and then drilled the screws in using a socket adapter. Looks great on my wall -- my only complaint is that I don't think the level is that great, it shows it is level but you can tell it is about 1/2 inch off or less, not a big deal... Just have to figure out how to shift a little to make it better! (instructions show how). Also, not that easy to "unscrew" to tilt -- but still a great mount for the price, can't beat it!
This is the second Mounting Dream wall mount I have purchased, with this being a larger one as I had a 55'' TV for a different room and bought this for a new 65''.
These things are amazing. the instructions are easy, mounting is easy and in comes with so many different options to ensure it will work on basically any TV. The TCL I purchased has a weird bulge that made fitting this a bit awkward compared to my other TV, but the spacers made them a non issue.
I HIGHLY recommend using carpenters tape (the blue tape) to outline where you want your TV, Soundbar, etc. before you make holes on your walls as once you do that you will most likely adjust it after visually seeing the Outline. While this has nothing to do with the product, it will make your mounting life so much easier. I know as we did not do that for the first/previous one we did.
