This is a solid TV mount for a reasonable price. Although the mount is very sturdy, the built-in level was not actually level on my particular unit. Other than using a separate level, the remaining hardware and spacers worked well for my install.
This wall mount is a BEAST!!! If you need a heavy duty mount, YOU HAVE FOUND IT!!! Super easy to install my 60" Vizio. Take heed though, get some help hanging this mount!! It is a bit heavy to try to do alone.
I purchased this mount in 2012 to hang my 60 inch Vizio TV on the wall of my great room. The mount has hung with no sign of snagging or other weakness over the years. Do not use the lag bolts in any package from manufacturer. Make sure to visit your local Home improvement store and purchase minimum of 1/2 by 3 inch bolts along with flat washers.. Wall Studs in a wood frame home are 3.5 inches plus 3/8 to 1/2 inch of sheetrock. I have hung from this mount before installing the tv to be sure the fastening was sufficient. Just bought the same mount again for my daughter to mount a 65 inch TV in her home. HIGHLY recommend the quality for the price!!
Good product but hardware provided should not be metric

This is a very heavy, durable mount. My only issue is that it came with metric hardware and I do not have metric tools - so screwing in the lag bolts was challenging.
We have on older Samsung flatscreen weighing around 125 lbs possibly, and was worried about finding a mount sturdy enough to handle it. It works great! My husband and father in law set it up fairly quickly. Would absouletly recommend.
I had a hard time finding a wall mount that would fit our TV. We have a 46 inch flatscreen that we purchased several years ago, and apparently it has an odd VESA pattern - I had no idea what a VESA pattern was, or that there were several of them, until I went to buy a mount for my TV. I figured I just had to buy one that would fit a 46 inch TV, and that was it. Nope! I'd ordered one from another site that was supposed to fit a 46 inch TV, but it didn't work - the mounting brackets were too close together and didn't expand far enough out to fit our TV. After some measuring and searching around to find one that was full-motion, would support or TV's VESA pattern and not cost a fortune, I found this one. It's overkill for our TV to be sure - this thing is HEAVY! It weighs as much as, if not more than, our television does. It's incredibly sturdy, though, and the full-motion feature is smooth.Obviously this has to be screwed into the studs in the wall, which is where our only complaint comes in -- the wall mount didn't line up with our wall studs. I believe this is for studs that are 18 inches apart, but ours are 24 inches (interior wall) -- don't quote me on that, though. My husband did the installation while I wasn't home. In order to get it to work, he had to take a wooden board, paint it to match the wall color of our living room, screw the board to the studs, then hang the TV mount from the board. It looks fine, and the TV is VERY secure, but it did take some finagling to make it work for us. We ran the wires through the wall so there aren't any visible between the TV and the entertainment center below it, and it looks very nice. And, with the TV up on the wall, I don't have to worry about it falling off of a stand or anything.
