Mounting frustration

I installed this mount in my unfinished basement where a cinder block was exposed. I used concrete wall anchors and a hammer drill to drill holes; I didn't use any of the hardware that came with the bracket other than the screws that attach the two brackets to the back of the TV. The brackets are my biggest frustration with this mount. The two brackets have pre-drilled holes and slots for mounting screws, which is a plus. A big minus is that they generally have holes, and not slits, around the entire perimeter. My TV is an older Sony brand, but not so old that it's difficult to install. There are four square holes on the back wall for attaching such brackets. The problem is that when I align the brackets on the TV so that they are centered and therefore hidden from the front view, the bottom mounting screw blocks the single screw that attaches the TV to the main wall mount. I hope this is clearly reflected in my photos. After attaching the two brackets to your TV, install the main wall bracket. You then have to marry these by placing the parallel hooks in the brackets on the matching hooks in the bracket and then securing the whole thing with two bolts at the back. But the two screws are completely hidden by the mounting bracket screws! If I move the brackets up or down to get out of the way, the top or bottom of the brackets are visible from behind the TV from the front and that's not attractive at all. That, and now that I've moved the mount, it physically lowers the height of the installed TV, and that's another problem. As I mentioned, I install this in my basement in front of our treadmill to have some viewing while I'm using the treadmill, but I installed the main wall mount right in the middle of the ceiling and shelf I installed for our soundbar . Now that I've raised the TV brackets to make room for the mounting screws, the TV fell so far that it hit the shelf (if I had lowered the brackets, I would have lifted the TV so it was on the shelf ceiling rests). Since I've already drilled four holes in the concrete blocks and screwed in four concrete bolts, I won't do it again. So I moved the mounting brackets back up (to prevent the TV from hitting the ceiling) where the TV now rests against my shelf and I had to spend another 30 minutes lowering the shelf. Again, this is all due to the mounting brackets not fitting the TV without getting in the way when attaching the TV to the wall mount. After moving my shelf around and sacrificing the ugly look of the two brackets sticking out of the top of the TV, this bracket holds the TV very securely. The mount itself can move away from the wall, move in any direction while the TV is facing forward, and/or rotate the TV bezel to a large angle as well. It mentions that it offers a slight vertical angle, but not without some adjustment. You can't just tilt the top down without grabbing a wrench and loosening the two tension screws, tilting the TV, and then retightening the screws. It's also inconvenient as the other mount I have at home - a much more expensive mount mind you - can pivot vertically without tools. All of this to say that this is a cheaper alternative to some of the mounts you can find, but you get what you pay for. . That's not to say it's bad, but the installation headaches, brackets that don't exactly fit my TV, and lack of built-in vertical adjustment might justify a few extra bucks for you, which is why I just gave it a go three stars. I hope this was helpful to you. If that were the case, would you consider clicking the button below? Many Thanks.
