VideoSecu Tilt Swivel TV Wall Mount 32"- 70" LCD LED Plasma TV with VESA 200x200,400x400,up to 600x400 mm, Full Motion Articulating Dual Arm Mount Fits up to 24" Studs MW365B2H C20

This is a really excellent mount. This is my first TV mounting experience so let me explain a few tips: 1. The lag bolts that come are 2 x 5/16 and are not reliable. I went to Menards and picked up 2.5 x 5/16 Stainless Steel mounts and trust me this is an excellent investment of just 3 bucks. The mount is sturdy and holds very well on the wall. 2. I did not use a plywood, directly mounted on the wall on two 16" studs, use a good stud finder. Also drill pilot holes of adequate size or else the lags will have to be manually turned with a wrench. 3. The mount come with a cheap leveler that is useless, use a laser leveler to align accurately. 4. As others have mentioned, the mount is not centered so I recommend using a measuring tape and get your dimensions right before drilling. 5. This is my first mounting experience and I feel I mounted the TV a little higher than I visualized in my mind. The measurements were accurate, so this is what I recommend: Have two friends hold up the TV while you sit on your couch and ideal viewing angle, and then find your sweet spot that’s just perfect. 6. The struts that go at the back of the TV have tilt screws, put the struts so that the tilt adjustment can be done on the outside rather than inside. However in my case the screws are useless, it’s difficult to turn as the gap between the TV and the mount plate is very small, I can't tighten or loosen the screws. Overall, very pleased with this mount at a great value for money.

I've assembled one other swivel TV wall mount ( VideoSecu 24" Long Arm TV Wall Mount Low Profile Articulating Full Motion Cantilever Swing Tilt wall bracket for most 22" to 55" LED LCD TV Monitor Flat Screen VESA 200x200 400x400 up to 600x400mm MAH ), and this one was MUCH easier to put together despite its size and weight. I love that the front plate attaches to the TV and once you have the mount on the wall, you just slide the TV down onto the hooks. You will need a second person to get it on the wall (unless you can somehow hold it steady in one hand and screw in the bolts with the other...). Once you have everything measured, marked, and ready to go it'll take only a few minutes to screw it to the wall. My wife was able to hold it to the wall relatively steady while I used my powerdrill with a hex bit to screw those in. By the time she started complaining about getting tired/bored holding it, I was already finished! I'm using this to hold my Panasonic VIERA TC-L55ET5 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz 3D Full HD IPS LED-LCD TV with 4 Pairs of Polarized 3D Glasses (2012 Model) , and it doesn't budge. The swivel works perfectly, and you can tighten/loosen as needed. The two-stud mounting method is definitely the way to go with larger and slightly heavy TVs. To get anything of this quality from an electronics store would probably cost 2 to 3 times as much as Amazon is selling it. I HIGHLY recommend this mount to anyone looking for a good quality, solidly constructed TV wall mount at an amazing price.

I have now installed more than ten of these mounts on 55” and 65” inch TV’s I Changed from using Mounting Dream MD2298 Premium TV Wall Mount Bracket a good TV mount, only because of price. I am at a loss to know what more I would want in a TV mount The key features are: One-piece long wall plate is all assembled and can be placed on the wall without the TV Includes a cardboard template that makes it easy to predetermine approximately were and what holes you will use to mount the one-piece long wall plate Screws to mount the One-piece long wall plate to studs are included. Two brackets with the necessary screws included attach to your TV and then once attached you can pick up the TV and hang the brackets onto One-piece long wall plate easily. Two screws lock brackets with TV onto wall plate. See picture of long locking screw. A lot of extra hardware so you have the right screws and spacers. Things to watch out for: The One-piece long wall plate as delivered is too tight for moving TV once assembled. It is better to loosen the six (6) pivot bolts before mounting the long wall plate on wall (not too much about a turn and a half each. For this you will need a Hex Key Wrench Set and an open end wrench set (strange but true I found two different size nuts). Check the feel of opening the plate before installation. To mount first install the two brackets on your TV then measure from bottom of TV to top of hook on bracket . With that measurement establishing the height of the One-piece long wall plate is easy. I have observed that many people want the TV too high in a living room this will strain the neck. I position the bottom of the TV 46 inches above the floor. A bedroom is different because for two reasons you are lying in bed and occasionally one must look over a too tall belly. I position the bottom of the TV 56 inches above the floor (check for overhead clearance before mounting. Find the wood studs you plan to mount wall plate to. Use the cardboard template to determine the position of the upper left lag screw and which two elongated holes work correctly for your studs. Drill a pilot hole for the first lag screw, then with a washer on the lag screw fasten the upper left side of the wall plate about one turn loose. Use a level to position the wall plate and drill the upper right hole and use a second lag screw with washer. Recheck level; recheck distance from floor to bottom of TV (as planned). Install lag screws three and four. Tighten all lag screws. Then Hang TV then connect TV If for some reason the set is not level this can be adjusted at this point. Remember you may have exposed wires you don’t like. Please see my review of the Datacomm 50-3338-WH-KIT Easy Mount Cable Organizer Kit and PORTER-CABLE 43218 3/16-Inch Piloted Down Spiral Drywall Cutout Bit to help you with that problem For aluminum studs I use a 5/16" X 2-1/2" T-Anchor - No. 56212TS purchased from Whitehead for 98 cents each. The 5/16 thread is too short so you either have to chase a longer thread or use some of the spacers that come with the TV mount. I also cut off the excess bolt when finished. See picture of T-Anchor with washers used in a wall with aluminum studs.. Good Luck
