This wall mount is strong. I was kind of worried about how tough it woulkd be considering the price but I am pleased to tell you that my Sharp LC60LE757U 60" TV IS firmly held in place. Nice thing I didn't expect: THe TV holding end allows for about a 2 degree +or- rotation so even if you do not get the wall mount perfectly level all you have to do is lift on the low side and correct it. The action requires just enough effort to make you comfortable with exerting that force on the TV chassis and the mechanism holds it tight after you release. Due to how sturdy the armature is, there is no preload related spring back in the opposite direction from how you were adjusting. Because of where i wanted the TV positioned on the mount, it is offset 4 inches from center of the hanging rails but the functionality remains perfect. That the mount system will allow an offset of up to 6 inches left to right and work perfectly is something I just didn't think would be attainable at this price point At full extension the armature is steady and sturdy, action panning side to side is smooth at any extension depth. All installation pieces that could be conceivably need are clearly labeled. From standoffs to varying thread size and screw lengths, all contingencies are covered. My install required only about 1 out of 6 supplied. Two weak people will have no trouble hanging their TV on this system. I really would have been just as excited with this kit at 3x the price considering how nicely it functions and how well executed it is. I recommend pre drilling out your holes like others have suggested just to ensure you don't crack your studs. a 3/16" drill makes the perfect pilot hole for the lag bolts. Install your hook rails onto the TV while it is sitting in the carton for easiest install and make sure your rearward facing inputs are not anywhere in line with the rest points for the wall mount. I didn't notice that with where I originally placed the rails, I was blocking myself off from several required jacks. I learned the removing the tv from the mount and reinstalling were absolutely painless operations for any two people correcting my placement of the rails. Buy with confidence. This kit is pure awesomeness regardless of price.

If I ever need another wall mount like this I would get the same one without hesitation! I put my 37" TV on this wall mount with no trouble at all. I put mine up to the left of a corner so I could turn my TV about 60 degrees to get it catty cornered. (I believe the documentation states that you can safely turn the monitor a full 90 degrees.) Taking the mounting plate off to get your holes drilled and the plate totally level was something that I decided to do based on reading a few reviews where people said it was difficult to bolt this contraption to the wall and get it level due to the weight of it and how awkward it can be, even with two people. Another reason to do it this way is that even though this wall mount has a simple leveling system for the monitor it is better from an engineering perspective to get the mounting plate totally level by itself first and have a good foundation at the start than being close and having to adjust things to compensate later. For me knowing that the whole assembly is bearing the weight of my investment as evenly as possible was a major factor, as it was engineered to do. This was ESPECIALLY true given that I was doing an offset mounting and if I were dealing with an especially heavy monitor it would have been even more of a reason. The "tricks" that I found were as follows: 1) Take the mount apart and lube all the long bolts/articulation points with White Lithium grease, taking care to carefully clean everything off when you re-assemble it because it will get a little messy. This will let you adjust the monitor a lot easier later on since they had no lubrication that I could find. If you plan to regularly move things around after the fact this will be a bonus. 2) Get your own lag bolts and washers, (1x4" by 3" I believe) this kit comes with lag screws, but a solid head is always significantly stronger than a screw type head. (Considering how much TV's cost I decided that less than $5.00 worth of bolts and washers was cheap insurance!) 3) Unbolt the plate from the rest of the mount when you are installing it because that will make it a lot easier to get it on the wall AND totally plumb and level. Keep in mind that you have hex head bolts and four washers for each bolt on the plate, a small ring type and a recessed one on the bolt head as well as the nut side. Do not lose them of this mount will not work properly and may fail early. 4) Have a good set of hex wrenches ready! You will need them to adjust the monitor level because it wont come adjusted for horizontal level and if you unbolt the mounting plate the bolts have hex heads on one side. 5) Bolt in to studs if you do not have this going in to concrete, or a good 2 by cross brace; Your monitor is probably heavy if this bracket is what you are going to get and bracket itself is a very solid BEAST!!! 6) Mind the arrows pointing to the "up" side. In retrospect what I might have done differently was to get some 1" lag bolts of the same thickness I was using to quickly mount up the plate to verify the plumb and level. After that taking down the plate and reassembling it on the ground would have been simple, followed by putting it on the wall with one corner bolted up, followed by rotating it up and bolting up the other three sides, checking things as I went. ADDED 6/20/2017: After having lived with this bracket for about 6 years I can safely say that it is performing without a hitch and all the praise I had is still holding true. Outstanding product and a great price, ESPECIALLY if you compare it to what this bracket would cost in a major store.
