Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an extremely well-engineered mount! I hemmed and hawed after reading the reviews - "The mount was flimsy", "Can't mount it exactly where you want", etc. Based upon the package I received, I have no concerns. In particular, I was surprised to find heavy-gauge 18" steel "stud spanners" for heavy-duty anchoring into a stud-backed drywall or plaster wall. These were not described in any of the online installation manuals I saw (and they are not shown in the product photos on this site). These are *beefy* - they ain't coming down if properly fastened using the included lag bolts. The mount itself is a piece of fabrication beauty - stout where it needs to be, light and thin where it doesn't. The cast articulating arms are nicely formed and thoughtfully engineered. This is *so much* better and more elegant than the typical big, black and ugly articulating mounts (which is getting moved into the guest bedroom, along with the Panny plasma display... :-) ...). The use of the mount plate fixed to the articulating arms and the simple "posts" screwed into the four VESA hard points is ingenious. The posts slip into keyhole slots on the fixed plate and are secured with simple wire bales and a couple of set screws. What this isn't: This is NOT a fully-articulated "pull it out from the wall a few feet and aim it into the kitchen" kind of mount! Even with the stud spanners, it's just a hair over 0.75" (3/4") deep (!!). The articulation allows you to pull it out about five inches from the wall for servicing cables and connections. It can be tilted side to side (horizontally up to 15 deg +/- 2) and up or down (vertically, for glare reduction, up to 12 deg +/- 2). With that said, the articulation is really there for "set it and forget it" movement - It's not really designed for swiveling the display, this way and that, once installed. What it is: It's a super-low profile mount that will securely and stylishly present your 2016 LG OLED curved or flat 55" or 65" display (or any display with a 300x200 or 400x200 VESA mount pattern where the VESA area under the mounting plate is relatively flat and does not need to be accessed or provide significant additional clearance for cables, etc.) Who wants a 3 - 5" deep over-engineered and ugly industrial mount hanging off of the wall when most of the screen is thinner than a pencil?! The mount plate sits low on the "fat" portion of the display - it really accentuates the airiness of the thinnest and most elegant portions of the screen. Take a look at the pictures I've posted for additional details. In the end, this was so much better for my situation and taste than I had expected based on a critical read of the reviews posted here. If you were worried about mounting flexibility, the stud spanners provide a lot more maneuvering room - it's NOT just the plate/articulating arm that's shown above! Also, I have absolutely no concerns about the stoutness or sturdiness of the product. It's burly where it counts.
