Great mount for 55in tv.

Easy to install

This mount is one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. The mount is excellent quality. I read many reviews before I bought this one. The product is as good as any product I have purchased in many years. The metal has tight tolerances and fit together with no slop. The capture nuts are a step above what others use and make assembly a breeze. The engineer who designed it made it very easy to assemble with instructions that take into consideration every conceivable configuration. The parts are all numbered and sealed in plastic strips, the instructions show pictures of the steps, along with the number of the part they are describing. Each step is clearly defined. To start they have you take the two screws holding the two pieces of the assembled bracket apart. Then you stick the small plastic level they include onto the template and tape the template to the wall, making sure you use the correct template markings for your particular wall stud spacing, I.E. 16, 18 inches between studs, drill pilot holes into the studs. take the template down and put the wall half of the mount on the wall, mount that half of the bracket, attach the TV half of the bracket to the back of the TV , using whatever configuration fits your TV mounting holes, my case I had to use the square frame version, because the 4 holes on the back of my TV(Samsung) were spaced quite a distance apart. After I attached the now assembled frame to the TV I waited for help to hang the TV onto the wall mounted bracket, If I was merely still in my 60s I would have done it by myself as the bracket has a lip that holds the TV bracket to the wall bracket giving you support while you put the two previously removed screws back into the bracket, securing the two halves of the bracket together but my wife insisted I wait for help lifting the 65 inch TV onto the bracket. That was the only help I used in this installation. I am very impressed with this bracket and I will definitely use additional ones to mount other TVs in other rooms. I feel very strongly this company makes very high quality products designed with the consumer in mind and they get my vote for product of the year. The picture shown as a sample is the configuration I used for my particular TV, other TVs may use the bracket without the square frame required for my Samsung TV, the bracket has mounting holes and bolts to mount the smaller bracket directly to the TV. The also include a lot of spacers, screws and standoffs in case your TV has shorter or longer mounting holes. They took great care to make it as easy as possible to use. The movement is firm and yet easy to move when access to the back of the TV is needed.
