Customer Review: Nice and solid.
Summary: 5 Stars
This mount is almost as heavy as the TV! Okay, maybe I'm exagerating, but it's a big heavy solid mount. To make it easier to work with during installation, I completely disassembled it first. On the one hand, this worked out well. It was indeed easier to work with (and not too difficult to reassemble as I went along), and I was also able to correct a problem where two of the arm extensions were restricted in their movement due to being screwed into the coupler one turn too many. On the other hand, disassembling the unit caused me to screw up my measurements... i.e. I didn't even think that the plate on which the TV hangs might not be the same height as the plate mounted to the wall (duh)! So in the end, the TV was mounted 1.5" lower than I had intended. Really ticked me off because I was meticulous in my measurements, but I measured the wrong thing (and it took me quite awhile to figure out where I had gone wrong). I've got noone else to blame but myself, and this is not a "hit" against the mount (although the instructions could include a diagram or something that shows the measurements between various points of the mount). I'm only mentioning my blunder in case someone else decides to disassemble the mount during installation also. Learn from my mistake. Also, be aware (unlike me again) that when the TV is tilted downward, it hangs lower. Anyway, I was able to regain some of the lost height by repositioning the brackets on the TV, but not much. [Of course, I could have filled in the holes and just hung the mount higher on the wall if I had really NEEDED more height, but I didn't.]
There is a bubble level attached to the wall plate which helps tremendously during installation; and there is also a very small magnetic torpedo level included with the mount. Both were helpful, but in the end I pulled out my own level to be extra cautious; but I gotta admit that there was zero discrepency between the included levels and my own.
It is not mentioned in the product description, but in addition to tilt & swivel operation, this unit also has a rotational feature. In the event that the TV isn't perfectly level after mounting, the plate on which the TV hangs can be rotated a few degrees in either direction to compensate. Thankfully, I didn't need to use this feature, but I think it's an important one that deserves mentioning. The only drawback is that the TV has to be dismounted in order to have access to the locking nuts.
Speaking of swivel, the mount gives us about 45 degrees in either direction with a 50" TV; smaller units will get more out of it, of course.
Other reviewers suggested swapping out the lag bolts for higher quality ones. While I'm not going to argue that it's always better to improve quality when you can, I personally didn't deem it necessary. They're 2" bolts and they're screwed into the wall studs pretty securely; but remember, as I said before, this is a heavy mount. It supports up to 165lbs, plus the weight of the mount itself, all being secured by a measly four screws in the wall. It'll be interesting when the first decent sized earthquake hits. So do whatever you feel most comfortable doing.
I really like this mounting unit, and I'm extremely happy with my purchase (and the price!). The only bad thing I can say about it, besides the weight, is that after you hook the TV brackets onto the mount plate, the bottom portion of the brackets do not "lock" into place. This mount uses set screws to secure the bottom portion of the brackets instead of a latching system; but even that one drawback has its advantages... namely that the TV won't slide laterally along the mount plate unless you want it to, and if necessary only one person is needed to dismount the TV (it is debatable whether that last one is "really" an advantage since it encourages unsafe practices, but for the record I mounted a 50" plasma TV completely solo). Oh, and one other complaint... the instructions are poorly written, and in particular they do not describe how to properly assemble the locking knobs for the tilt feature to the TV brackets. It's easy to figure out with even the slightest mechanical aptitude, however (or put another way, if I can do it...). The included hardware is mislabelled and a little disorganized, too.
Bottom line, great mount! Well deserving of its 5-star rating.
