Review on Kanto PDX650W Full Motion Articulating TV Wall Mount for 37-75 inch TVs - Low Profile, 22-inch Extension, Cable Management, Swivel & Tilt - White by Mark Albright

I really wanted to rave about this mount because it is powerful and easy to install but there are some CONS that are identified have to. There is no simple and stable mechanism to adjust screen height (horizontal tilt). Basically, the TV hangs on just 3 screws, 2 of which determine how easily you can control the screen orientation. Tightening the screws to prevent the screen from accidentally tilting when you move the swing arms makes it difficult to adjust the TV when it's fully turned sideways (another common problem). I'd rather have an easily accessible micro level adjustment than this "pull on side of TV to get direction, approximate range of motion" solution. Do you want those screws to be tight? Well then, the setup requires you to find a ratchet and socket #13 every time and be prepared to spend some time fiddling with the TV's output, then input, then output, then input, etc. 2. The mount suffers under the usual horizontal alignment problem common to most full-range mounts. i.e. TV deviates from horizontal position when panned and rotated sideways (not perpendicular to mounting wall).3. Fore/aft tilt is another axis controlled by a set of lag screws, and there's no micro-adjustment. Simply pull the TV to tilt it. if you left those screws loose enough to do this. If not, take the ratchet again.4. CAUTION - Incorrect wiring. Do not try to use the center cut out window for the cable entry/hole in the wall. A rack pushed against a wall will usually crush your cables. There just isn't enough room to safely route cables through this area. The best tip for the port/cable hole is to place it directly under this rack mount (should still be covered by the TV). The wiring guide shows how to route cables around the ends of the swing arms. Unfortunately, if you follow this guide, thicker cables like HDMI or the TV's power cord will prevent the brackets from moving against the wall, and the TV won't sit as far from the wall as it otherwise would. Subtracting another star for the lack of improved cable management/wiring options. The design of the mount just doesn't allow for many useful options in the rack itself.
