Incredibly strong wall mount - highly recommend!

Recently an old 50 inch plasma weighing over 100 pounds was replaced with a new 65 inch Sony X900F weighing about 54 pounds. The old wall mount for my plasma had the wrong VESA template and didn't move, so a new mount was in the pipeline. I chose a mounting dream (LOL! Wow, the Chinese funny name their companies that target American consumers) Premium Full Motion TV Wall Mount (model MD2298) because it fits a variety of stand spacings, and even though I used the stand spacing in my old wall mount knew, I wanted to take it with me when moving to other apartments. The package arrived 3 days later and was on my porch via USPS. A signature is not required. It was packaged in a brown outer box that said it was a TV mount and an inner brown box that contained the actual product. It was well laid out and everything was intact. Installation was pretty easy as I knew exactly where the studs were thanks to my previously installed wall mount. So I removed the old wall mount, looked at the new one a few inches up, tapped the jig, drilled new holes, and installed the new Mounting Dream main mount in under 30 minutes. I installed the suspension mounts on my Sony X900F and was good to go. I decided to add some cable management boxes and plug the HDMI cables and power cord into the wall as my old plasma was lazy to install as I planned on replacing it at some point. It took longer than the Mounting Dream wall mount, but it was worth it. It's an interior wall and I knew there was no insulation and it would be easy. Cables routed through the wall, my new Sony X900F hung on the Mounting Dream wall bracket with the help of my wife, bottom bracket attached, done. walk. Various thoughts: - The instructions are very clear and easy to understand. - The mount is extremely strong and although my panel weighs less than half the weight this mount is rated for, I have a feeling it will perform excellently up to its rated weight. After installation the TV can be rotated +/- 3 degrees horizontally so while it is important to level the wall mount, if you deviate a few degrees you can still rotate the TV just enough to get it level. It squeaks slightly when the lever is pulled out and closed, but a dab of WD40 solved the problem. - I wanted the swivel mount to make access to the cables a lot easier, but if you extend your arm about 17-18 inches, the TV appears larger when you're sitting on the couch. Free size increase! XD- I currently have an Apple TV 4K and an older Xbox One. Soundbar will be added in the future.
