If you are looking for a Full Motion TV Mount that is easy to assemble and install, this product might fit the bill. However, if you are hoping for a smooth and easy range of motion, you might be disappointed. The articulating arms are difficult to pull out and push in, requiring a lot of strength and potentially putting your TV and wall at risk of damage. Ive had to remove the TV to pull out the mount. While this may be frustrating for me, it is important to note that the product is still effective in its primary function of mounting the TV. I was able to remedy some of the stiffness by employing a generous amount of WD-40. It helped quick a bit, but the motion is not as fluid as other products I was exploring.

This is the second time that I bought this mount. I stored one that I purchases a year a ago and purchased this one recently. there are subtle changes to this model. Not has high quailty. No wire clips to help manage your wires. The lever to adjust tilt is not spring loaded. The caps on the end of the mounting bar are now plastic rather than steel. Action doesnt seem as smooth. Definitely not an upgrade at a higher price. Overall good mount just a few steps down than previous model looses a few stars for that.

Actually, 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.

I have now installed eight of these mounts on 55” and 65” inch TV’s 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 tube clips with screws lock those brackets with TV onto wall plate. 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 Good Luck Mounting to wood studs is easy. I have mounted some to metal studs using 1/4 X 3-1/4 T-Anchors - For Hollow Cavity Applications when you use this part you will need to add a lot of spacers or chase the threads further as the threads have not been chased far enough to tighten the screw. Also after you tighten screw you will probably want to cut off the excess thread.

This was a very complete and solid TV mounting kit. It comes with everything you need including a wall template, level, mounting screws of numerous sizes. I needed a larger bracket because our house is framed with 24 in on center studs and this fit the bill. Instructions and template were easy to follow. I also was able to place a box in the wall behind the mount large enough to accommodate a UPS, though the mount sits flush so I couldnt fit the frame or face plate on the wall box. We mounted a Samsung Series 7 70 inch TV. All the screws we needed were provided and with a partner its an easy install and connection of the TV. Everything is tight and solid and moves nicely without rocking or tilting. Very happy with the purchase. Already have two more to mount in other locations in the near future.

I have always purchased Sanus brand TV wall mounts from Costco thinking they were the best/most robust. Boy was I wrong! Unfortunately I didn’t discover these Mounting Dream mounts sooner. These are much better than the Costco Sanus brand mounts in all areas: from ease of installation, to included items in the box, to overall build quality (I must admit the Sanus are pretty heavy duty mounts too). To begin with... the installation was FAR better than all the previous wall mounts I’ve ever purchased. Yes you still need to work some to install it, but it not only comes with a cardboard wall template to drill holes into the wood studs, but it actually comes with the correct size drill bit included in the box! It also comes with two bubble levels: one to adhere to the cardboard template to level it (ingenious!), and another one to insure the mount is level when attaching to the wall. I’ve NEVER seen this included before in a wall mount! It made installation A LOT easier! They also include a bolt “wrench” to screw the bolts into the wall. Not only that, but it also comes with an included HDMI cable in the box. And the build quality is very robust. This is definitely a heavy duty wall mount! As a result it weighs quite a bit (so make sure to secure it to wood studs). I’m never going to buy a Sanus brand wall mount from Costco again. I understand now why it’s called “Mounting Dream”!

Easy to install. Works as it should.

I own a condo where metal studs were used and the stud centers are not the regular 16” or 24”. I wanted to hang my 65” LG TV (65UK6500AUA) to the wall. I read all the reviews and settled on this mount. The amount arrived in just a few days and I unboxed it and found it to be well packed and had every possible mounting screw for the TV included. As to installation, I did not use the template since my studs turned out to be on 18” centers. The hardest part of the installation was determining the height and horizontal location to mount the bracket based on a desired height and location of the TV. While the hardware for mounting to metal studs is not included, you can mount to metal studs if you take the time and effort to mount it properly and use the correct fasteners. I used Hillman ¼” Strap toggles. The strap toggles have a metal end that mates with the back of a metal stud. I used a finish nail to find the edges of the metal studs and drilled a ¼” pilot hole into the metal stud followed up by the ½” hole required by the strap toggle. I used ¼” x 1” fender washers on the ¼” strap toggle bolts. Once the ¼” bolts were loosely installed in the strap toggles, I leveled the mounting plate and tightened down the bolts. Next, I grabbed hold of the mount and put weight on it to make sure it was securely fastened to the studs. Mounting the TV took all of 3 minutes. A few more minutes adjusting the tilt and leveling plat and I was done. Total installation time was about 90 minutes with 20 of the minutes determining the location. I highly recommend this mount.

I thought this mount would be overkill for the Samsung 55” UHD TV Series 6, since its VESA hole spacing is 200mm x 200mm. But it turned out to be the perfect combination of solid and flexible. The 2 wall studs I ended up attaching to were 13” spacing, due to two walls coming together at that point. But this worked just fine for that. I used the provided M8 x 50mm bolts and 2 plastic and 1 metal washer for each bolt. Of course I also used the plastic sleeves provided by Samsung as well. That combination of washers was just right to keep the bolts from murdering the innards of the TV. The only issue I ran into was that the provided 7/32” drill bit provided was too small in diameter to properly drill the holes for the lag bolts. I needed to go up one size to a 15/64” bit. Then it was perfect. I think this is why I keep reading reviews complaining about the lag bolts shearing off upon installation. Do yourself a favor and use a 15/64” bit for this install. I am impressed with the solid nature of this mount and am glad I went with this more expensive version.

Its HD, its smooth to move. Didnt budge when I pulled on it after install before the TV was installed. Easy to install, just a drill, stud finder, phillips and 1/2 wrench. Only downside to this mount, is they give you a small cheap 2 or 3 level. But if your mounting it on your own, I am pretty sure you most likely have a decent level. Rather them keep the level and save me a few bucks than include it so I can toss it. So still 5 stars overall still.
