> 24 hourIt comes with all kinds of helpful tools and hardware to install, to allow for a wide variety of installation needs. They actually send you the right sized drill bit for the anchor screws, as an example, and a variety of different sized installation screws as apparently some tvs have different attachment screw sizes, and a variety of different spacers. They also include several straps for mounting cables, and even a new heavy duty HDMI cable. It also comes with an installation template that made it super easy. The install literally took me 30 minutes from beginning to end. The instructions were really outstanding. My only knock would be on the vertical tilt adjustment (up or down tilt) - it consists of two adjustable screws that is a little awkward to adjust, but overall, very pleased with the product. I was concerned given the price because it was so much less expensive than a full range of motion version I saw at a big block store (priced well over $300).

> 24 hourJust installed for my 65in. TV. Build quality is excellent. Just mounting wall bracket takes two people. I did it myself put it was some work. One person to hold bracket and the other to screw bolt into stud. Very well designed. I would go with a lighter weight model if you have a 55 in TV. The wall will come down before this puppy will. This model is overkill for a 55in. TV. I like the design as you can slide the TV left or right several inches for centering. Finding the studs can limit how well you can center the TV. Some brackets fold back against the wall but move the TV left or right when TV is against the wall. This brand pulls the TV straight out and back. The instructions need improvement, mostly pictures, some verbage is needed on how to use the template. Biggest problem for me was making sure i was in the center of the stud. Be sure you measure carefully several times as there is not much room for error. I would also recommend that the slot holes be enlarged slightly as the bolt just fits into the slot. A small level is supplied that attaches to the template. Be sure it is precisely centered. A little bit off and the template with not be exactly level. I had to shift the bracket all the way to one side for centering in my application. Doing so caused the mounting bolt head to just clear a metal lip that is located on the top and bottom of bracket. I had difficulty getting my socket wrench onto the bolt head. A socket wrench is supplied but there is no way it will get the bolt into the stud more than a half inch or so. A socket wrench is needed for more leverage. They need to give another 1/8 clearance or so between the lip and bolt head.

> 24 hourThis is a great mount. It is very sturdy and holds my 75 LED TV very well. Had a single-arm extension mount on my heavy 55-inch 2011 3D HDTV, so I wanted to go with a double arm for this beast. I purchased my 4K TV the Saturday before Thanksgiving at my local club store, kind of an impulse buy. I knew the mount for my 55 TV was heavy duty, but I didnt know at the time that it only went up to 400 x 400 VESA and the new TV was 600 x 400 (its an old mount, before anything larger than 55 was common). No problem, company wasnt coming until Tuesday, and I saw I could order a mount at Amazon and have it delivered by Monday with Prime, so I did further research on mounts looking for one that would install into concrete. This one did, it was on sale, ordered. Shipping delay on Monday meant I didnt get the mount until Tuesday. Ok, no problem. Company has arrived at my house but no big deal. Mount arrives Tuesday. I go to install that evening after spending time with relatives. Open the package up, they have screws for every type of TV under the sun, but NO CONCRETE WALL ANCHORS WERE INCLUDED! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! They advertise this as being able to install in concrete, the anchors probably cost pennies to produce and include, yet Mounting Dream made the horrible decision to not include concrete wall anchors? One can phone them and they will send them to you if you need them. Its 9PM at night, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Should have had this TV up on the wall yesterday, and now Im looking at FRIDAY EVENING at best, thats assuming Mounting Dream can overnight me the anchors. Every TV mount I have ever purchased in the past (7 to be exact) has included the concrete wall anchors. This was extremely frustrating to me. I didnt know if I wanted to just spend a lot more money for a good mount locally and return this one, but that would take time I didnt have, and this seemed like a nice mount. So I emailed Mounting Dream Tuesday evening at maybe 11pm. Low and behold, I had an email in my inbox the next morning, as apparently they are in Asia and have a shipping partner in the USA they contacted to get the concrete wall anchors to me on Friday. I applaud their fast shipping, but it doesnt change the fact they should have included these anchors in the box to begin with. By Wed evening I decided I didnt want to wait anymore, so I found anchors I had from another two other installations, with different screws, and made those work. So, mount is 5-star, customer service is 5-star, but because their failure to include concrete wall anchors as an intentional decision, after advertising this mount was for concrete installation, drops this down to a 3-star product. Mounting Dream, start putting the concrete wall anchors in with your mounts and stop inconveniencing customers and causing loads of frustration! (I waited a week to write this because last week I was ready to give this mount a 2-star review) So, if installing in wood, youll love it. If you can wait extra days for concrete anchors to arrive before you install, youll love it. If you want to get your TV up ASAP, and there was a shipping delay (not sure if that was Amazon or Mounting Dream), and you cant wait for concrete anchors to arrive after a holiday, go with a different mount that includes the anchors.

> 24 hourReally needed a hole right in the middle of the mount. My handyman drilled a hole thru the mount in the middle to get it in the stud. I have a 75 tv, and 75 of space between two windows, so it had to be perfect. If he didnt drill a hole in the middle, it would have been off by an inch. Considering the space, it would have been really noticeable. Once it was attached, my guy did a couple of pull-ups on it. Its not going anywhere, and holds my tv perfect!

> 24 hourUpdate 4/30/21. Original purchase 2/19/19. I needed new parts to accommodate a new TV using the same mount. But I didnt keep the extra parts that came with the mount, so, I called Dream Mount for help. They are sending me what I need (screws and spacers) free of charge. Now THATS service. From opening the package to finished install, this piece of equipment was truly a Dream to work with. Very high-quality piece of gear. Very easy to install and it feels solid as a rock after installation. I had to build a frame structure in an opening for a recessed TV. That was the hard part. Once the studs were in place, the rest was very easy after I figured out how high to drill the holes in the studs to get the new 55 Samsung mounted at the right height on the studs. The mount comes with a tiny level for the template and a 6-inch level for checking your work as you go. It also comes with many TV mounting components of different sizes so you can mount any TV. Well packaged and marked. The user manual was also well done and easy to follow. I put the back brackets on the TV using one long spacer for each top hole and one medium spacer for each bottom hole to account for the curve of the rear of the TV. I used the longer, thicker bolts. I then drilled 4 holes with a 7/32 drill bit, two in each stud where indicated by the template. I could not use the little level for the template because with open studs, the template didnt lay completely flat. But I used a 2.5 level of my own to check the levelness of the template on the studs and knew how high to drill the holes by measuring from the bottom of the TV to the bottom mounting bar for the mount. It was a little difficult to put the first bolt into the studs because I had to hold the 22+ lb. mount in one hand while getting the bolt started with the other hand. Im 72 and not as strong as I used to be. But once I got one bolt in, the rest was easy, using a ratchet to drive the bolts. I had to get help lifting the TV onto the mount. It was just too big and bulky to do myself. But once hung on the mount bars, it was simple to put the hold clamps on the bottom of each side and then adjust the TV for leveling, which in my case, I just used the TV frame and pushed it until it was level. It stayed there and is very solid. I also pulled the TV out to the maximum extension of the mount and turned it so I could see the TV from another room, the kitchen. Very cool to be able to do that, so I can watch TV now while I cook. When I was done checking that, I just pushed the TV back into place, very easily, for watching in the family room. I love this mount. It is very well made and solid. I will be needing another one for our master bedroom soon and I will absolutely buy another one of the exact same model for that job, which will be a flush mount on our bedroom wall near one corner high on the wall. More complicated job because Ill have to install an electrical and cable outlet up behind the TV so no wires are hanging out. But I know this mount will be perfect for the job.

> 24 hourMy wife wanted our sofa moved to an adjacent wall and the TV hung on a pivot mount – the TV was mounted on a tilting wall mount prior. The big issue is our wall studs are 24” on center and the TV would mainly be turned 75º in order to view from our main seating area. After much research, I figured this TV mount would do the job. Our 43” LED TV was easy to mount to the bars and the mount itself was not complicated to install. The hard part was trying to install the lag bolts into the studs while holding the mount against the wall. Once attached and the TV hung, it was stiff to swivel the TV but in hindsight, that is probably better than being too loose. And a few sprays of WD-40 made the turning easier. I went overkill on the mount, I could have purchased a cheaper mount but wanted to be sure the TV stayed on the wall with the kids wanting to move it around and since it’ll be pulled out from the wall almost constantly. Pros: The bubble level included made mounting in line; many mounting holes to choose from based on wall location; many spacers included for attaching the brackets to the TV; easy to swivel and tilt in any direction; ‘folds flat’ against the wall when needed. A great swivel wall mount that I have and will continue to recommend.

> 24 hourGiven the fact that I already own 2 other TV mounts from this exact brand already. I knew that I was purchasing the best without any questions. Although the description may say for 45 TVs and up... I think its more around the lines of 60+. Thats my opinion though... This mount is huge and can potentially be bigger than some 45 TVs... So just a heads up. The TV that I installed it with is a 65 and I feel that it is perfect for the size. Also wanted to praise this buy with the things it includes (which I dont think they advertise enough). With the purchase you get the instructions to put it up (or you can YouTube it), a paper stencil of the mount to make your marking on the wall extremely easier, 2 levels (one for the mount and one for the mount paper stencil), a drill bit for mounting screws, a socket wrench for the mounting screws and all the little extra parts if needed. I really recommend this company for any mounting, but would also recommend for you to do the research on the perfect size for your TV. As stated above, I feel this one is perfect for anything 60+.

> 24 hourActually, 4.5 stars. The only reason that I deduct a .5 star is the fact that upon arrival the TV mount component was not aligned with the wall mount component. I opted for 5 stars instead of 4 simply as I did not want to skew the review solely based on this. By hand I was able to correctly balance and align this, however it took some patience and muscle to do this. It would have been very easy to think it was faulty upon arrival had I not been willing to dedicate 20+ minutes to correctly aligning this. Other than this fact, I have my Samsung 65 TV mounted on the wall with this. It handles the TV without an issue. My TV is ~60 lbs - so not lite, but certainly not the heaviest. I have the mount screwed into studs in the wall - and I would never do it any other way. If you trust sheet rock to hold up your TV, you better have a nice little 32 ultra-lite TV - otherwise say goodbye to your one grand of Washingtons... Yes, I recommend this mount. I really enjoy how it allows me to adjust the TV in two directions - I can tilt the TV up or down and side to side, pull it out, set it back, and JUST FLAT OUT ENJOY MY GREAT TV. It just gives me good options and I enjoy that as I like to adjust my viewing experience based on where Im at, or the people in the room. You can certainly get cheaper mounts, but to have one that will support a heavy TV while still giving you such great adjustments - NOT SO MUCH! Youve spent so much on the TV - why are you going cheap on the mount?! Get this one.

> 24 hourComes with wood stud hardware to install. It comes also with a disposable 3 inch level and 3 velcro straps for cords. The TV I have is on the heavier side but this TV mount is sturdy and well built. This TV mount comes with a thin cardboard template to help ease of install. Great TV mount a little stiff to move in and out but thats to be expected since its new its also better because it feels more secure, It doesnt feel cheap.
