Q: how far does it tilt ?

A: The VMPL50A tilts 8.5 degrees up and 10 degrees down.

Q: Mounting on a Masonry Wall

A: The VMPL50a includes anchors that will allow you to mount your TV into concrete walls.

Q: Can I adjust the height of my tv without having to remount?

A: I have never seen an up down adjustable, only left right, sorry they don't work that way

Q: Once mounted, and assuming untilted, how far will the TV be from the wall?

A: Very close. Almost too close to comfortably connect your HDMI cables. I ended up pulling mine back off to install the spacers to give me more clearance. I ddidn't want my cables, pinched/kinked. Think of this in terms of a garden hose. Kink and bends restrict water flow. Since the A/V data "flows" from the device to your tv, I would assume it is best to keep it as free flowing as possible.

Q: stud width

A: Standard studs are 1.75 " by 3.5". If you get the lags in the center of the stud (7/8") from side it will hold several HUNDRED pounds with no problem. Don't be afraid to use a small ice pick or Phillips screw driver to probe thru drywall to find the edges since they'll be behind the tv and are also easily filled with spackling compound.

Q: 400 x 400 Vesa pattern ?

A: Yes, the VMPL50a is compatible with a 400x400 VESA pattern.

Q: 600mm x 400mm Vesa Pattern?

A: Yes, the VMPL50A does work with a 600x400 mounting pattern. We will make sure to update the website to reflect this. Thanks.

Q: can I buy just the wall plate

A: They also make one that doesn't swivel but for the extra few bucks I'd buy the one that does. Never be afraid to buy the best. You'll always be satisfied!

Easy and good support
This mount gives good support, with a nice flush-to-the-wall mount. The whole thing was easy to assemble, though it's big and heavy enough that getting a good level is a little tricky without two people (you absolutely need two people to mount the TV. The mount gives a decent ability to fine-tune the level and tilt of the TV once mounted. This mount goes pretty close to the wall so be sure your TV has recessed connections or you might not have much room for them once mounted.

Sturdy and user friendly Flat Screen Mount
I bought this unit for a 42" plasma TV. There are cheaper mounts, but the decision to buy this one was made based on what I considered to be important attributes that are worth the extra $$. The steel on this unit is heavy gauge, and it's rated for a much heavier TV than the one I bought. I like the peace of mind that comes from knowing that a big TV will not be crashing to the floor. The unit tilts forward and secures at the angle you choose with two knobs, which works for me because I mounted it above a mirrored chest of drawers in the bedroom, almost 6 feet off the floor, and the tilt provides a good viewing angle from a comfortable position on the bed. The knobs can be loosened or tightened by had so you can tweak the angle without tools. The assembly hardware was versatile, including varied screws and spacers to accommodate different TV sets and installation situations; to allow for irregularities in the wall or to pass wires behind the set. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and basic assembly tools were provided with the hardware pack. You will need additional tools in order to mount the unit yourself; steel tape measure, marking pencil, stud finder, at least a three foot level, power drill, and either a ratchet wrench or power nut driver for the bolts that hold the unit to the wall. I mounted the wall bracket myself (make sure you catch a stud on each side) and attached the two arms to the back of the set by first mounting the set on the (included) table-top mount to hold it upright. I did get help lifting the set up to the wall bracket because it's much easier to do that part with two people. The hooks on top of the arms behind the TV go over the top of the wall bracket, and then the latches on the bottoms of the arms lock the set in place so it can't be removed from the wall, unless it's done on purpose by someone disengaging both latches. You can then slide the set in either direction to better center it the way you like, and you're ready to hook up the input cable(s) and plug in the TV. I found it easier to plug in the HDMI and power cables at the TV side BEFORE hooking the set to the bracket because the jacks are harder to get to when they're only a few inches from the wall. Just remember to coil up the wires with a twist tie so you don't trip on them while carrying the TV to the mount site. Hope this helps.

It works
I bought this product to hand a 55" Samsung TV on the wall. The instructions are clear; however, only three sets of screws and spacers come with it. My TV needed an in between spacer from the provided hardware. I had to go back out and buy several washers to make up the difference. Another con is that there is hardly any room behind the TV to tighten the sway screws, even with the really long tool provided. Once installed, my TV looks great.
