Review on 📺 ECHOGEAR Full Motion TV Wall Mount Bracket Up to 82 inches - Smooth Extension, Swivel, and Tilt - Easy Install with Wall Template - Centering, Leveling, and Cable Management Included by Brandon Boones

Really very good. The M8 1.25x45mm screws required for my Samsung UN65MU8500 were NOT included. However, Lowes had them for about $3.50 for 4. I wish he had a stencil to mark the holes as the unit is quite difficult to hold on the wall. I borrowed a very expensive nail finder from a job that was 80% useless on my plaster/blueboard walls. I found the studs by removing the HVAC supply shutter and the wall outlet duplex cover which allowed me to see where at least 2 studs were located. I measured the distance from these studs to the ones I needed and drilled small pilot holes until I was sure I had a good center on the studs. The tabs were tight and required more torque than my cordless drill could handle. That is a good thing. When installing a TV weighing over 50lbs on the mount (scary, heavy, delicate, 2 people recommended for 65") I went 3/4" out of plane across the width of the TV. Oh no! The mount is small enough not to be noticeable just by looking at the mount. But a small mistake on the mount = a big mistake on the TV. Should I take out the joists, move the wall an inch or two, and try again? I could swear I read that this mount has a post mount orientation. While it's not obvious in the instructions (which were decent), a quick search on Amazon for "level" revealed that there was indeed post-install leveling. On the back of the plate there are 3 M6 hex head screws with a picture similar to the Wi-Fi icon. 1 top center, 2 bottom left and right. I loosened the 2 bottom screws that allowed the plate to pivot axially on the top screw. The adjustments were more than enough to compensate for the 3/4 inch error, probably a lot more. Maybe I really didn't deviate that far from the plane, maybe this adjustment was not perpendicular to the wall bracket at the factory. .I recommend for this mount, FINDING good bolt centers for strength, HAVING a helper to hold the 15 lb mount to the wall when marking/drilling, USE A 4 OR 6 FOOT ALUMINUM LEVEL, and a helper to lift the 55" - 65" TV mount to have. And if I had to do it all over again, I could make some 1/16" rubber strips (probably spacer material) that I would place between the bracket and my textured plaster/blueboard walls. When I adjusted the TV's weight onto the mount I heard a slight crunch of the plaster as the weight is pressed against the wall, although the mount is very snug against the wall NOT enough to damage the plaster The forces are now static , so no problem, but the dynamic force when erecting it is very small "crunched" with plaster, enough to hear but not notice visually.
