Revainrating 4 out of 5

75 inch (55 pounds) Samsung So far so good!

So far, so good. Easy to install and seems to hold the weight of a 75 inch (55 lbs). It took 2 people to lift and put the TV down, maybe 15-20 seconds of moving against each other to fix it. 4 stars because of the hillside location. It's not strong enough to support the weight of the TV and always leans down no matter how tight it is. This made connecting so difficult because you had to tilt the front panel forward. I "fixed" this problem by putting two smaller machine screws in the rail to block the pin. It might be wise to do this before installing anything more permanent. Pros: Lots of fasteners and instructions make it seem like you can't look for a part. Solid feel and heavy weight, aluminum would be cool but obviously more expensive. The screws (M8) don't come loose from the studs, the concrete mount looks just as solid. Cons: Heavy and I would always prefer two people to do the assembly. Tough at first but that was to be expected. Lots of holes for lots of TVs but mine was the furthest. My particular TV (75" Samsung is cheaper) doesn't feel very secure on the TV hooks, but that's not the product's fault. As a result, it seems to be strong over the last 48 hours and is easily regulated by one person Extra: I installed on the wall by finding a stud (bought stud finder) but they are usually 16" and you can start from the corner. Drill the hole with the smallest bit to make sure You're hitting wood and not just drywall (look at the drill bit to see what comes out) Measure around the top hook and the top of the TV, subtract an inch and that's ROUND where the top is hole will be. Drill a pilot hole (1/4"), and then attach the bracket to a top corner. Set the spirit level and rotate until you can drill the second top hole. After that just repeat, hold it level and tighten, there should be some sort of Holzbach audible behind the anchor bolt but don't push it too far Pounds I think the TV weighs a little more at 55 but felt sturdy , on the wall, the part where the hooks are attached was bent, but the load was concentrated on the strap

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging
