This is excellent designed,the instructions were very clear and this was very easy to install.
This unit is very strong. 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. Well if you are looking for a reasonable price wall that is very strong this is the one.
It has plenty of room though for proper positioning of our size tv to accomodate variance in stud distances. The one-touch tilt is great and you lock your angle choice in so it doesn't "droop" out of position. 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). I loved paying about $250 less than Best Buy's "value" mount. We have a solid wood wall behind it, so no having to search for studs. Take the time to read the directions, use a level, measure twice and drill once; you will not be disappointed :-)
Enough screws to do the job. Only problem I had was the Sony rear had left side bracket screw holes shorter than the right side bracket screw holes. 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. So far, it looks terrific. Instructions were good, item solid. Mount is solid and recommended.
Thus, you must use a special hex tool supplied with the mount to set the tilt angle in fixed 5 degree increments. However, inserting the required screws in one of the 5 degree increments with the special hex tool is next to impossible. 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. 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. 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). Works fine otherwise.
