Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First: the included level sucks! I checked my first line with it against my real level, and it was WAY OFF. Go buy a decent level before attempting to mount this to a wall.
Second: No where in my research did I see that this mount was intended for concrete walls only. It's clearly spelled out as such on the instructions. That said, the lag bolts were exactly what I would have purchased to mount something like this to a wall stud, so I'm quite confident that they will hold the mount & TV up fine.
Third: The TV I mounted to it is a 42" LG 42LD450. It's outside the size rating of the mount, but at less than 30 pounds, and with a VESA 200 bolt pattern, it was well within its capabilities. That said, I would not attach a 65 pound TV to this mount unless no one would ever be underneath it. It would just scare me. That much weight at the end of such a long articulating arm would put a LOT of moment of inertia on the wall mount. I got 4 screws into a stud, and I'm not afraid it would fail...but 65# is a lot of weight to have 18" away from the wall.
Fourth: The TOS link cable shipped without any kind of protective sack - it was just tumbling around in the box. Being an optical cable, I can't imagine that was good for it, but I haven't tested it to see if it works or not.
Fifth, when you do mount your TV to the bracket, I found it easier to stand behind the TV and hold it up to the mount so you can see where the holes are lining up. That way, the person attaching the screws doesn't have to try to direct you where to move - you can see it. After failing 3 times to do it from the front, I tilted the bracket up to it's maximum then held the TV in place from behind. Worked like a champ.
