This was one of the easiest tv wall mounts I've ever used. Was able to hang in no time and it's perfect for our outdoor space. I also enjoy the ability to have a full range of motion. Highly recommend.

First time mounting a tv and it was super easy and fit my 55 in tv! It holds very well and adjusts to any position/angle we need it to be in! Very sturdy. Love it!

We love this mount! The mount was easy to install and took about 1/2 hour to complete everything. We used this mount for a 48" Vizio Tv previously sitting on a stand while we chose our wall mount online, the in store selection was terrible and expensive. We chose this mount based on reviews. It is good quality, heavy steel, and functions wonderfully. It is also low profile when folded up against the wall. We purchased 2 mounts at the same time. The other mount will be used to hang an older 2008 Model RCA LCD TV which is heavier and thicker in design in our guest bedroom. The versatility of the Vesa pattern for this mount also sold us as our RCA TV has 200 X 100 VESA pattern. All the hardware is included for every application situation, it is packaged neatly and easy to identify. The level built in to the mount is accurate as well! We have stored the extra hardware and pieces for the future as we replace TV's we may need the hardware. The HDMI cable included works and is a nice feature. Similar mounts at big box stores were over $100.00 and most of those were not full motion mounts nor did they include an HDMI cable! Incredible buy, good quality and great value!

Tools we used: Stud finder, drill, and impact wrench for driving the lag bolts into the stud.

If you are not sure how high you want your TV to be then cut a piece of cardboard or other similiar lightweight product to the same size as your TV and tape it to the stand (do copy the VESA hole location to your carboard template so that you have an accurate faux TV model attached to the wall mount). Have your partner hold your wall mount with faux TV up agaisnt the wall until you find your desired height/location realative your stud locations and mark the spot. This elimiantes drilling unneccassry holes in the wall if you find the height is not to your liking after everything is mounted eliminating frustration.

Installation Notes: We actually left the stand on the TV when we hung it. We utilized the stand as place to sit our two foot level and make fine tune adjustments before removing the stand. We also left the stand on because we hung the TV a couple of times (just by the bracket) to make adjustments and kept sitting the TV back down on a box below the wall mount location instead of walking across the room to place the TV face down on pillows. (We had a house full of kids for a sleepover and a dog to contend with so walking across the room with a large expensive TV was not really an option.) Vizio Specific Note: If you have a newer Vizio (ours is a 2015 model) with the triangle neck attached to it. The neck is actually inserted inside the TV and held in place by 4 screws. On the Vizio you will need to remove the top two mounting screws on the back to leave the stand on during mounting if you want to do as we did. Once the Vesa bracket is installed on the back of the TV the top two holes are covered for the stand preventing full removal later on if you leave the stand on as we did while installing. Once we were done installing the TV mount we removed the final two screws for the stand and setup was complete.

I cannot comment on mounting the older RCA TV but if anything note worthy pops up I will add to my review.

We are pleased with the construction and functionality of this TV wall mount bracket. The instructions were complete and easy to follow. There were extra parts provided for use with different models of TVs so if we decide to upgrade our current TV, we can adjust the wall mount bracket for use with the new TV. Our Vizio 26" television needed to be mounted on a wall in our bedroom so that the TV could be viewed from our bed, which is located at a difficult angle. We also wanted the television to be pushed flush against the wall when we are not viewing it. This requires a bracket that allows for various movements. This wall bracket is a DREAM! To aid in the installation, we also purchased a stud finder to allow us to position the mounting bracket in the best location on the wall. We highly recommend this TV wall mount bracket!

A good product that works. instructions are sufficient for most folks with any basic skills to do handy work around the home.
