VideoSecu Tilt Swivel TV Wall Mount 32"- 65" Dual Swivel

Overall, for the price I paid ($50) I am very happy with the mount, though there are some design anomalies that should be taken into account before I'd recommend you buy this one. First, the pros. This is by far the sturdiest wall mount in this price range and has a wide wall plate so it has the most ability to set the TV centrally to your room whilst still attaching to 2 studs (mine are the standard 16" apart). It also has plastic anchors for concrete wall installs. They look sturdy enough, but I have not tested this install. Others have stated that the levels included (one embedded into the wall plate, one a separate plastic "torpedo" type) are off alignment. I tested mine against my own level and they both were near perfect. However, I would recommend using a level with a magnetic strip and attaching to the TV plate since this is the piece that you really need to be level, not the wall plate, and keeping the included one on the mount during the install process is extremely difficult. Final pro is the included HDMI. I was expecting a 3' ver. 1.3 type since this is a freebie. But, I was really pleased when I opened the pack and found it was a 10' ver. 1.4 type, which means it is 3D compatible, has audio return and ethernet. Very nice indeed. So, to the cons. Some minor issues - instructions are poor (small, badly printed illustrations, very few specifics on what hardware is used where). But, text instructions are included and illustrate the process of hanging the mount, it's just they stop short of providing specifics about the hardware. My TV is a Samsung 46", which is surely a popular TV, but I ended up buying different bolts because the supplied 2 bolt lengths were either too long (40mm) or too short (20mm). The short bolts only worked if I did not use a washer and if I used all the long bolts I would not have enough spacers. I ended up buying 2x25mm and 2x30mm in order to get a good fit. One issue that is important to mention. The advertised feature on the Amazon page "Post-installation level adjustment allows the TV to perfectly level; assembly required" is either completely false or else misleading. I certainly cannot find this feature in the included instructions. This should not be confused with the "tilt" adjustment, "Adjustable 15 degrees forward tilt" (allowing your screen to lean forward so you can mount the TV high and tilt down as I did). It implies that after installation, you can adjust the horizontal angle of the TV plate. I do not see how it can be done and it is not included in the instruction manual. Now, the next issues I would count as design flaws. They specifically impede access to basic features of your TV or mount. First, as the product photos show, there are no access holes in the TV plate. The plate sits between 1 inch and 1.5 inches from the back surface of the TV, depending on if the TV is tilted forward or not. If it is not tilted at all, I could not hook up any cables to the back of the TV, other than those that are positioned angled sideways or actually on the side panel. In full tilt, I can plug cables easily in ONLY if I remove the TV first. There is a small access groove cut into the sides to allow hands to get closer, but on smaller TV's, this is not close to useable. For the same reason, the forward tilt also cannot be adjusted without first taking the TV off the mount. On larger TVs, the VESA mounts would be farther apart, but this still does not account for the fact that the "barbell" type lever that adjusts the tilt is simply too long to be horizontal in that 1-1.5 inch gap, meaning that it is impossible to turn more than 15 degrees or so. You might, in that 15 degrees, be able to loosen just enough with 1.5 inches clearance, but how do you re-tighten in the 1 inch clearance? In the manual, it clearly states you can adjust after mounting the TV. It's just so strange since if the tightening adjustment had been a wheel or even a smaller barbell, or even an Allen wrench it would be possible. This is a detailed review, and I should mention that I am overall, quite pleased with the mount. It is sturdy, cheap, adjustable (just not quite as advertised or expected) and came with a great HDMI, two bubble levels and a variety of hardware options. The flaws might be a deal-breaker to some, so I included them to help people make a decision. If you plan to adjust the tilt, or plug/unplug devices from the back panel a lot, choose another brand. Really, this is designed for bigger TV's, but I bought specifically so down the road I could mount bigger if I needed, and adjust the angle etc. I gave 3 stars for the "different than advertised" problems, though for my needs it's fine.
