This is excellent designed,the instructions were very clear and this was very easy to install.
Well if you are looking for a reasonable price wall that is very strong this is the one. The tv is a 52" and adding the wall mount was very easy. I researched alot of wall mounts from the big electronics stores and they were way over priced. This unit is very strong.
The one-touch tilt is great and you lock your angle choice in so it doesn't "droop" out of position. I loved paying about $250 less than Best Buy's "value" mount. My husband installed this mount himself in about an hour for our 52" Samsung. (It is one-touch after taking the time to unlock the nuts on both sides). Take the time to read the directions, use a level, measure twice and drill once; you will not be disappointed :-) We have a solid wood wall behind it, so no having to search for studs. It has plenty of room though for proper positioning of our size tv to accomodate variance in stud distances.
Only problem I had was the Sony rear had left side bracket screw holes shorter than the right side bracket screw holes. So far, it looks terrific. Installed our 52" Sony KDL-52W3000 LCD screen over our fireplace with this mount. So I used the provided screws to attach the right side, but went to Home Depot to get 2 shorter screws for the left side. Mount is solid and recommended. Instructions were good, item solid. Enough screws to do the job.
However, inserting the required screws in one of the 5 degree increments with the special hex tool is next to impossible. I bought this wall mount over others because it can be tilted upwards 5 degrees, allowing easier access to cables on the back of the TV. Works fine otherwise. You're better off just calling the neighbor and lifting the TV off the wall, make your cable changes, and lift it back up on the wall again. The hand-tightened screws which allow setting the tilt angle are not adequate for my 50" plasma -- the TV tilt angle slowly drops down to face the floor (greater than 20 degrees tilt). Thus, you must use a special hex tool supplied with the mount to set the tilt angle in fixed 5 degree increments.
