Versatile articulating panel TV bracket puts your TV exactly where you want it! Get the viewing angle right whether you tilt the TV down or aim it to the left or right for the best view. I found this to be a quality, solidly constructed, articulating wall mount for my 55" TV. This model is designed for wall studs with 16" centers. Studs further apart require a different model. CAVEATS: 1. Drywall alone will not provide adequate support. The mount itself is heavy and built for large TVs and an overkill on a small TV. 2. Centering on a wall. If mounting on wood studs with 16" centers, you may not be able to place the mount exactly where you want. The mounting frame itself is approximately 17". Centering may require additional materials. 3. Try to obtain a mounting template from the seller before purchase to avoid a return. It can also be mounted on solid wood or concrete. I mounted mine on cultured stone, which is made from concrete. It is not real stone. Mounting on concrete requires a "hammer drill" and hammer drill bit for concrete, so an investment in equipment may be required. Tapcon concrete screws can usually be screwed into the drilled holes and provide strong support. It is much easier to attach to wood wall studs with wood screws. Studs may not, however, always be exactly 16" apart. It will take two people to lift a large TV onto the mount. Much of the wiring could be done before the lift. Since the mount adjusts, you do have adequate clearance to place wiring after the TV is installed. The mount is very compact and is inconspicuous. The TV moves freely to tilt up or down, or side to side. The more it is adjusted, the more wall clearance is required, thereby requiring you to pull the bracket forward. The instructions are excellent. Parts for installing various TVs are provided. A free HDMI cord, a level and assorted spacers are included. A template is also provided to mark where fasteners should be located.
