Searched everywhere. Happy chose this one.

Our 55 inch TV needs an angle of almost 90 degrees. Only about 40 pounds, but this one stretches the widest I could find and I don't have to worry about weight limits. Realized in my measurements that I didn't, anyway I don't want it to be under 90 as I was looking at it from the center of the room as it's hanging on the left wall. At first I was concerned that the original cleats I chose were closer to 17". Also, I got these so I had some room around the edges to drill another hole if needed. Luckily, moving over a cleat worked better . And they were 16" apart. The biggest problem was the tension screws that came with it. I pre-drilled the drill recommended in the instructions. Tried my drill. He hardly moved. A charged battery did not help. I've used this drill on other eyelets, no problem, this one started burning. I could turn them by hand, the rest was with my socket wrench. I was also worried that they might be too long. But after considering the thickness of the bracket, washer, lock washer, it was close. Then I remembered the thickness of the drywall so there is no fear that the joist will go all the way through the stud. Don't trust the included level attached to the bracket. I made sure my holes were level and that the bracket was level by inserting the anchor bolts. The connected plane was far away. Be sure to check the height of the end of the arm when it's fully extended where you want it before attaching the TV. I had to adjust mine. I put the TV on, everything is fine. The mount was well packed in 4 boxes and some bubble wrap. Somehow the visible side of the TV mount was scratched, missing paint and showing shiny metal. So I used a marker to color in. Also, the brackets are very long. My TCL mounting holes face the bottom of the TV so I had to use the bottom holes on the brackets. The brackets protrude 1/8-1/4 inch at the front and bottom, but it's not noticeable. Because TCL has a bulge under the VESA holes, I used thick plastic washers designed for a curved TV. Otherwise the brackets were tilted and not flush. I didn't have this problem with my other mount. These brackets are also very long. Handles But they don't seem to be that bad if I had to change the angle.
