ECHOGEAR TV Wall Mount for Large TVs Up to 90 - Full Motion with Smooth Swivel, Tilt, & Extension - Universal Design Works with Samsung, Vizio, LG & More - Includes Hardware & Wall Drilling Template

I got this TV mount to hang a Samsung 75 QLED TV on the wall. I was really excited reading all the success stories about getting this mounted and the tales of awesome playful interactions with the vendor. Their email messages were also confidence inspiring.... All that deflated when the actual time to install the mount came and I realized what a huge mistake was getting this thing instead of the bigger brand model sold at your favorite local warehouse. First lets do the positives: the mount is well built, metal is thick and sturdy, it will hold the TV just fine. There is no need to assemble anything and the stud screws are solid as well. Now the not so happy stuff: 1) The included VESA screws are not sufficient for mounting current generation Samsung QLED TVs - the short screws are too short and the long screws are too long (or require really big spacers which Samsung does not recommend). I was in luck that my installer had a full complement of screw lengths and could come up with a medium length size in between the too-short and too-long sets provided by Echogear. 2) The mount only gives you about 5 inches of horizontal centering ability so in my case I had to end up not being able to center the TV properly. With 18 spaced studs and the studs not properly centered on the nooks wall, the large flat screen ended up ~4inches off center to the left. Enough to be really annoying. Again, the similar product sold by the large national warehouse company has proper support for centering the bracket hold and would have worked a lot better. 3) Most annoying - the tilt adjustments and screws are junk. If you want the TV to hold the tilt you have to tighten a metal-on-metal, no washer, no counterlock screw, but the screw does not hold, apart from being really hard to tighten. It feels like I am about to bend the small twisting rod they provide to tighten the tilt screw, and I am still not able to get a proper lock dont ever move again adjustment. 4) Repeat the same annoyance with the screw-on-metal, no locking mechanism this employs for the very limited horizontal leveling. Long term this is not as rage inducing because the TV is mostly balanced, unlike the tilt forward adjustment. 5) Finally, cable management. Its lacking and that sucks. There is very limited space so any cable you end up feeding around the arms will get in the way of the mount completely closing or in the way of some other movement. In conclusion there are just too many reasons to regret my purchase that I cant get over. As I mentioned, the mount at least is solid and holds the TV, but lack or proper screws for current model Samsung TVs, lame tilt mechanism adjustments, lack of ability to proper center the TV on imperfect studs are very annoying design shortcomings. Please SKIP this one and get the saner alternative.

Everything about this purchase, the supportive videos, the packaging, the instructions, the quality of the product... was very good! Looking for a wall mount, then pick this one!

I love this bracket because you can get many different angles is not just one or two angles you can move it just about stick it on the wall and move it different places and the range is incredible

Awesome

To start off, I work in an engineering department at a local Las Vegas casino. I’ve personally wall mounted hundreds of TVs as a part of a hotel room upgrade. But when it came to personal domestic use, I’m was forced to go with different public vendors. So, like you, I purchased this highly rated brand’s TV mount. I have an LG 77” C2 OLED TV. Guess what, it took forever to level the TV and you know why? Well, because as soon as you extended the TV’s wall mount all the way away from the wall after the TV had already been mounted and leveled, it became out of alignment and extremely out of level. Thankgully, I had someone to help me to level it. Basically, it involved a bunch if guess work. We had to compromise for the level of tilt/pull out distance in order for the TV to be leveled with the desired distance it was pulled away from the wall. In other words, if the TV was pulled away from the wall even by half an inch too far (where it was not centered with the wall at the measured middle point), it would no longer be leveled and would become off balance = visibly leaning to one side. This mount’s leveling mechanism is clearly flawed, which no amount of apologetic customer service could resolve besides providing a replacement, which at this point I would not perform. It takes a significant work to unmount the TV, unscrew the old mount, screw a replacement mount into the wall and mount the TV back on it than is worth it . Basically, I’m stuck with a TV that cannot be tilted/moved because by doing so it would make the TV become not leveled. What I’m trying to say is that I threw my money into the wind, whereas I could have purchased a reliable TV mount that did not experience this faulty leveling mechanism problem. Buy at your own risk. You’ve been warned.

Wall mount was a little difficult to install. This may have been because my wall studs were not uniform spacing. Once I had it up, all worked well. Just go slow and make sure you hit studs

Manufacturer provides a wide range of mounting hardware (bolts, washers, shims etc.), which should make this mount compatible with every major TV brand on the market, making for a smooth, uneventful installation.

Bought two of these last spring and loved them. Just bought another for a third room. Good quality wall mount.

Ummed and aahed over this being a little more expensive than other mounts but its worth the extra $$. Its very heavy and solid and is super easy to mount. The instructions are clear, easy to understand, and actually quite funny (who would have thought?) The mounting template is helpful and easy to follow - simple to see where you need to make adjustments if your studs are a bit off like ours are. Range of motion is great and very smooth and sturdy with the TV. Million times better than the cheap mounts Ive used before.

Like the device. However, the screws don’t line up well for 16” on center studs. You end up having to mount screws on the far outside/inside of the access holes. Just saying. Once up, a very solid mounting platform with a very flexible adjustment arm(s).
