I wanted a full motion wall mount for my 39" Samsung. The TV only weighs around 25lbs, so I was a little weary of the sturdiness and "beefy" description of this wall mount. I shopped around at numerous other stores and sites, and this was by far one of the cheapest mounts on the market. So I decided to give this one a try. Shipping: I chose the free shipping, which estimated that it would be delivered in two weeks. As you can probably tell, I wasn't trying to spend a lot of money on this purchase. I was pleasantly surprised when the TV mount was delivered two days after I ordered. That was excellent! This TV mount was packaged well. Simple/basic instructions, but as many have said, this isn't exactly rocket science. My TV is very light, so I wasn't worried that the wall mount bolts provided were not going to be big enough. The TV mount went up quickly, and easily. Some people said it is very stiff. It is!!! But all you need to do is loosen the bolts at each joint just slightly, and it operates super smooth. My four year old could sing it around with ease. I am very pleased with how well it moves. I only see a couple (possible)downsides with this item. 1. It is a little bulky. But lets face it, a full motion wall mount isn't going to hug the wall like a slim stationary one. There may be other full motion mounts out there that are closer to the wall, but they can't be by too much. Again, much cheaper than many many other mounts, so a little extra bulk didn't bother me. 2. The level rotation is controlled by four bolts. To change the level, you have to loosen them a little, get the TV level, then tighten the bolts again. If you plan on making numerous adjustments, this might be a pain. For me, I don't ever plan on changing the level after I got it straightened out, so again not an issue. 3. No wire management system. But this may not be a bad thing, as several TV mounts that had that option, also seemed to have problems with pinching wires. This was solved with some of those mini Velcro straps to help control the wires. Over all a great full motion TV wall mount for the economically minded. It might not be as slim as they can come, or necessarily have all the bells and whistles, but if you're not worried about all that, this is the mount for you.

This is an excellent product: - Strong: My 55" LCD TV barely sags (maybe 0.25"?) - Easy to mount: It's heavy though I managed on my own (and I don't do weights) - Out of the box, the joints were pretty stiff. Suited me fine since I don't need to do more than rotate the TV left/right, though other reviewers took it apart and greased the joints to make it easier to adust I read in advance a lot of the reviews - much appreciated. I didn't find it as difficult as some people apparently did, though in my case, I needed to mount the TV to fit exactly in a space in a wall unit (vacated by my old TV) so I needed to be very precise. Figuring out where to drill holes in the wall was the most time-consuming activity. The mount allows you to rotate the TV forward/backward, left/right and clockwise/anti-clockwise, but the vertical height is not adjustable (assuming you want the screen to be either vertical, or at a fixed angle). Just 2 points where the instructions could have been more helpful: 1. A simple drawing defining the vertical offset between the TV mounting brackets and the rear wall-plate (would have saved me a lot of measuring and calculating) 2. Point out that you can easily adjust the clockwise/anti-clockwise angle of the TV - i.e. to make sure the top of the TV is horizontal - using the 4 mounting bolts on the front panel (I figured it out though some other reviewers apparently tried to do this by re-mounting the rear wall-plate).

Very sturdy! A lot of other mounts that I have saw only mounted to one 'wall stud'. This one is 'wide enough' that it will secure to at least 2 wall studs. The flex-joints are pretty stiff, but very sturdy. I have a 47", 65 lb TV mounted on it and there is practically no 'sag' or deflection. THIS IS A BIG BULKY ITEM! It will extend way out from the wall. The only suggestions that I would make: (1) Better instruction sheet. Although it is pretty self explanatory, it is difficult to follow the instructions without making small mishaps. And it sure helpd to have wonderful wife to help! She and I installed it in about 1.5 hours from opening the box to connecting the tv. (2) Level the bracket that the TV attatches to, NOT the bracket that bolts to the wall. If I leveled the wall-bracket the TV would have been a bit crooked. Maybe this would help those who had the 'unlevel' issues mentioned by other reviewers. Or maybe their TV's were heavier than mine. (3) Again, the instructions are vague, but the bracket that bolts to the tv has probably 1 foot of vertical adjustment via a bunch of 'slots and holes'. I attatched my 47" LCD as 'low' on the bolt on bracket as possible. This happened to position the TV 'center of gravity' very nicely and so my TV will 'tilt' very easily and hardly even needs the plastic knobs to be tightened at all. I think that if I would have put the TV as 'high' in the bracket as it would go, that the TV 'center of gravity' would have shifted a lot and that it may have been very difficult to lock the 'tilting' mechanism. Just luck of the draw on my part (I wanted to drop the TV to a certain height, and did a lot of measuring). (4) Make sure that you have someone to help mount this to the wall. It is heavy! I held it up and my wife drove a #16 nail part way into the stud. The 'nail head' helped hold the bracket steady. I bought this almost solely because of the recommendation of other reviewers, and so a HUGE THANKS!
