1 Stars Avoid this seller!
Got the product fast, was happy with it. After I figured it out it went up really fast, 30-45 minutes. It has held the TV and not fallen.
DO NOT BUY: It was defective which I realized when it got up on the wall. The seller took 5 days to reply to my email and when they did they just sent me a 1-800 # to call. Then when I insisted they fix it, they just sent me an email with an RMA # and said send it back at my expense. No “we are sorry” “how can we help”. VERY RUDE! None responsive to any emails. They still have not written me back in 8 or 9 days now. I have this product up on my wall but can barely pull it out from the wall. It takes a lot of effort because it’s too tight and not fluid.
Sorry I was really hoping it would be a good one and it probably is, I would just avoid this seller because if by chance you get a bad one, you’re stuck with another $30 shipping bill to send it back and hope they send you a good one.
This is what I would go with instead!
CHEETAH MOUNTS PLASMA LCD TV ARTICULATING DUAL ARM WALL MOUNT FOR 32-63″ DISPLAYS UP TO 180LBS BLACK
5 Stars Great Wall Mount
This wall mount is of great quality and we got it right away. We read a couple of the reviews before we purchased it and they were very helpful in preparing us for a 5 to 10 degree play in the mount, so we were able to take care of that with a small adjustment while installing. Looks great and we love it.

4 Stars Fairly sturdy articulating mount
I bought this mount for a 50-inch plasma screen (80-100 lbs). It seems fairly sturdy, but I am not sure if I would trust it with the articulating arm fully extended due to the excess torque pulling at the wall bolts. The instructions that came with the unit were rather lame and seemed to be missing some relevant content. I think that using a stud finder is essential to install this or any other mount that is going to be used to support a heavy TV.
The mount comes with several assorted bolts for attaching the mounting arms to the back of the TV, but some were too long to use and some were almost too short to ensure enough thread engagement after tightening things. If someone needs to use the 8mm bolts, they might want to take a trip to the hardware store and pick up some mid-length ones.
The wall bracket comes with its own level indicator. However, I noticed some play in the articulating arm. Therefore, the part attached to the wall may be perfectly level, and the TV may hang at an angle due to the arm being off 5-10 degrees after bearing the load of a heavy TV. Before installing, I would recommend pulling on the articulating arm while retracted and try to rotate it to see how much play there is, and then compensate for any angle adjustment when drilling the stud bolt holes. The wall bracket may not be quite level, but the TV plate should be level (you can check by resting a separate level on this part). If the TV is mounted and seems to be listing to one side, there are four Allen head bolt in the middle of the TV mounting plate that may be able to be loosened to rotate things, but the TV will have to be removed from the mount to make the adjustment.
3 Stars TV wall mount
This mount works wll for my 52″ TV. Shop around. You can find a better price for a similar mount. I paid $145. You can get one for $90.
4 Stars Greeat product for my LCD, but for Plasma?
This works great for my LCD TV (46″ Samsung @50 lbs), however, I don’t know if I would trust it with a heavier Plasma TV. There are only 4 lag screws that connect to wood studs, which wasn’t enough for me. The wall it is mounted to has a closet behind, so I actually used 3 extra bolts and bolted it through the wall to angle iron on in the closet. Now, if the TV falls off, either the wall fell down or the product (swing arm) failed. Besides the connection to the wall, I don’t know if the swing arm could support 150 lbs 20″ from the wall.
