This mount, mounted my super slim tv. It looks so smooth and slim against the wall. Really opened up my small 372 sq ft. micro apartment. Also the pilot hole template is super convenient. No tape measure needed.

VERY pleased with this mount! I was a bit overwhelmed when I was ready to purchase a mount for my new 65" HDTV! What caught my attention with this model was the fact that other reviewers said it allowed their TVs to be incredibly flat on the wall. This was crucial for me as my TV mounts on a side wall that is seen from a "side view" when you enter my front door. I didn't want to have to see any of the cables/wires from the side view. This mount completely allows the TV to come so close to the wall that you literally cannot see any wires! It was also very easy to install the mount. The only challenge I had was with the plug for the TV. It stuck out a bit from the back of the TV, so I simply slid the TV towards the right on the rails so that the protruding plug would hide into the open outlet in the wall. All in all, very happy with the item!

When I purchased my new TV, I moved my existing sets to other locations. I used this mount to place my plasma set on the wall of a basement exercise room. Although the mount came with anchors and instructions for mounting directly to the concrete wall, I chose to hang some angle iron from the joist. I then bolted a piece of 2 x 12 to the angel iron and bolted the mount to the 2 x 12. This arrangement seems more secure that plastic anchors in concrete and provides a little more clearance for connections and eliminated extreme bends in my hdmi cables although cable connection still was a bit of a challenge. I mounted the 65" TV high on the wall. Lifting the TV high on the wall and finding the two slots to mount the TV to the wall bracket was a chore for two men. We could have used a third person to watch where the back of the TV was in relation to the mount. Once mounted, the TV is secure. The mount allows you to unclip the bottom of the mount and tilt the TV out to connect cables but, to me, this seems to present a high risk of dropping the TV. If your set has its connectors on the back rather than the sides, you might want to consider spending a bit more and using a tilt or telescoping mount.

This product was somewhat easy to install and the instructions were well written however the tool it came with to use as a stud finder broke immediately and going out to find a new one took some extra time. Also the strings used to latch the TV into place were difficult to use as I had a fireplace directly underneath where I mounted it, even if I didn't you would still have to tuck them in to hide them but still have them accessible when you want to remove the TV.

I bought this mount for use in a large, open floor plan living room where the sides of the TV are very visible. For this reason I was looking for a mount that was not terribly bulky (I didn't want people to be able to see the mount/wires from the side). I had originally only looked for full-motion and tilt mounts, but at the advise of a salesperson at my local store I came to realize that in a large room, full motion doesn't help much as you can see the TV fairly clearly from most seating angles - best use for full motion is a corner mount. Tilt doesn't help much unless you are mounting high, above a fireplace for example, or if you have significant glare issues - neither was true for me. Fixed mount offers the slimmest profile, and as a bonus was the cheapest price! Only complaint I have is that the mounting pattern is somewhat cumbersome and didn't line up particularly well with the studs in my mounting location, I had to improvise with some of my own hardware for peace of mind, but that is somewhat a symptom of my preferred mounting location and not the fault of the mfg.
