Kanto PDX650 Full Motion Articulating TV Wall Mount for 37-inch to 75-inch TVs | Low Profile with 22" Extension | Integrated Cable Management | Swivel and Tilt Capable | Black

Absolutely EXCELLENT product. Design, quality of manufacture, packaging, website and customer support are top notch. Nice to experience things working according to expectations. Everything one needs to install the mount is included in a very organized box. Kanto did not fall short in any respect. In fact, as the result of how well the install went with the PDX 650, I ordered the PDX 680 for another t.v. If you are looking for a wall mount to install a large flat screen, you can rest assured that you need look no further. The only helpful hint I would add for installation is that because the height location of the t.v. installment is oftentimes critical due to physical constraints of the target location and/or personal preferences of the owner, it is helpful to have a reference point to determine the EXACT VERTICAL LOCATION of template on the wall. This can be accomplished by using an awl to pierce the template at the location of the top most threaded stud (1 of 3) which are welded to the t.v. bracket. I was able to achieve that goal by the following process:1. After installing the bracket pieces that get fastened to the t.v., measure the distance from the bottom edge of the T.V. to that top most threaded stud.2. Use a pencil and measuring tape to mark where you want that point on the wall (you will now know where the bottom and the top edges of the t.v. will be from that reference point)3. Next, lay the template onto a table top, and position the compressed articulating wall mount piece on top of the template, obviously matching the hole outlines on the bracket with the template. Then use a pen to mark a point on the template by matching the "U" shaped capture point of the swivel piece part of the bracket.4. Remove the template, punch a hole through the mark.5. Assuming that you've already determined where the wall studs are, position the template horizontally where you want the bracket to end up, and use a push pin to temporarily attach the template to the vertical position you want (based on the aforementioned established measurements from the pin hole to both the bottom and top edges of the t.v.)6. Continue following the Kanto instructions to complete the installation.This may sound complicated, but it will make sense and be fairly easy to accomplish once you have the mount and template in your physical possession. I've also included a couple pics of the template with pin hole marking. Should take less than 1 hour to do the project. Good luck.

This was actually easy for me to install, but I took my time, measure several times. My studs were 23" apart so I had an inch to play with. Do not be fooled by the missing vertical bars on the sides. I hit two studs for the mount and this thing is probably the most solid mount I have ever seen. The settings I made are ROCK SOLID. It pulls out smoothly with a tiny bit of resistance... and does not droop or lean at all! It stays where I leave it and it feels safe fully extended. I have a 55" TV and I can turn it safely until it is at least 65 degrees for easy viewing from the room on to the side. I love this mount. I do not give great ratings unless I firmly believe I am doing you a solid. I am glad I purchased it when I did because it was $149 and could have gotten a cheaper articulating mount for less... but the quality is so good, I would not hesitate to spend $200 to do it again. The channels for the cable are well thought out... tricky at first, but do a GREAT job... Amazon tends to mush all reviews together... This is specifically for the Kanto PDX680 only. I highly recommend an in wall wiring adapter to go with it. This also keeps the TV very close to the wall. The clearance is very low and the magnetic cover plates look great.

Posted by CJC husband of TLC: OK... Wow! I spent a while looking at various mounts, and suggest anyone considering one do also as there are SO many out there. I've had great luck with some of the cheaper flush mounts and smaller TVs, but this time we needed one that would put the TV out a little bit from the wall and be able to angle a little in different directions for a 65”. I was tickled to find what looked like a good one in white as the back of the TV is white and we were mounting it onto a white wall. So on to details: 1.) this Mount is HEAVY - it is very solid and well made (I'm a structures engineer) - definitely plan on a 2 person effort to help things go smoothly. 2.) Packaging - INGENIOUS! All of the hardware comes in a smaller box laid out in labeled slots ready to pull out and kept organized - none of those plastic bags! Super nice. 3.) Instructions leave a little to be desired but not bad at all - there is a link and QR code for a video also (nice touch). 4.) Extra thought - delightful unexpected additions: the cardboard template for marking and drilling holes has a pocket for catching the drill shavings, the arms of the Mount have special cable management devices that lock in place, the parts are marked with ease of use features like 'up' arrows, there are tightening and fine angle adjustments for all directions (even easy to use follow up tweaks for the BANE of extending wall mounts, screen rotation sag). 5.) Function – perfect – no unexpected looseness or sag, easy to access for adjustments, hanging the TV onto the mount after each side is done (Wall side and TV side) was an easy ‘tip and hook’ motion, mounting to wall is great as it is over sized with slots for studs that may be out of position from your desired location, and the TV side brackets are also large and forgiving for various TV requirements. We bumped into a funny issue that was mainly due to the TV’s layout where the lower long bracket blocked cable plugs, I just cut the excess length off – no issue.Highly recommend this mount if you are looking for a fully adjustable stronger mount, and this company seems to put a lot of thought into their products!
