Don't bother with a more expensive option. This is nearly perfect!
What a steal. Here are my pros and cons for the Mountin Dream MD2377:
Pros:
- Heavy Duty. Even better build quality than many more expensive options available at big box stores. I have total confidence in having my TV mounted to this unit.
- So simple to install. If you've got a wall stud to work with it takes a whole 10 minutes to install. You'll need a friend to hold it up for a moment though.
- Great microadjustment options to center, or off-center the screen, and to adjust the level.
- Does not interfere with my tv's inputs. I've got a 55" Hisense 55h6b. The inputs are far off to the side, and below, the mounting bracket.
- Comes with an HDMI cable, which is great since I accidentally broke my existing cable about 5 minutes prior to mounting this!
- Comes with tons of screws and bumpers for mounting every possible brand/model of television. Now I've got a whole collection of extra screws in my spare drawer, no extra charge!
Cons:
- The articulating joints are extremely tight. Like... it takes some force to push and pull my tv away from the wall. So much so that I worry sometimes I could possibly hurt the TV. Is I only move the tv from the wall on a rare occassion this is not a huge issue. The tv can be angled from side to side quite a bit without moving it from the wall.
Note:
- Not that this is really a con per say, but do not trust that it will be level out of the box. The mounting plate on my mount was drilled into the wall perfectly vertically level, however the TV was crooked when mounted. There's 4 levelling screws though that are very easy to adjust and get the TV perfectly level.
- The up and down angle cannot be adjusted on the fly like the side to side swivel can. You have to do so with tools. Not a big deal.
