ECHOGEARMaxMotion TV Wall Mount for Large TVs 42" to 90" - Full Motion Has Smooth Swivel, Tilt, & Extension - Universal Design Works with Samsung, Vizio & More - Includes Hardware & Drill Template

I've used a lot of TV mounts. This was by far my best experience. The template worked great.This thing swivels in and out and side-to-side almost effortlessly with a heavy 65" TV hanging on it. Tipping it up and down was also almost effortless, even when I didn't want it to. That is, grabbing the bottom of the TV and pushing it backward tipped the TV down, rather than moving it toward the wall. Turns out you need to REALLY tighten the tipping bolt.You can adjust the side-to-side rotation as well. This was a major relief when we finished the install and saw that the TV was crooked. We just loosened three screws with the allen wrench, rotated the TV, and tightened them back up. Repeated a few times.I needed a stud finder to find the studs in the wall.I needed a drill to drill holes in the studs for the bolts.I needed a socket wrench with a 1/2 inch socket to screw the bolts into the studs.

My second one of these. Excellent in every respect but two things that might be helpful:When your electrician (or your uncle Fred) moves the electrical outlet higher on the wall to be hidden by the TV, be sure to tell them the bracket needs to be mounted where the outlet ends up OUTSIDE the perimeter of the bracket. Otherwise the mounting bracket won’t fully retract if an electrical plug is plugged in (as I learned with the first install). Oh well. :)Second, the mounting screws shipped with some TV’s are way too short to work with this bracket. (Not Echogear’s fault). Our Sony 50” shipped with M5 0.8 screws that were about a quarter inch long. They needed to be about 1.5” long. I found some 35mm long at Home Depot that seem to be good enough.Again, neither of these things reflect on the design or excellent quality of this product. I find it excellent in all respects.

I can't say enough good things about this mount. First, with the mounting template it was easy to line up for the studs, and I could be confident in the hole positions. Next, the brackets for the TV were easy to mount. Next, placing the TV in place was a breeze and securing it was a better than any I have used. Last, this can be adjusted so many ways and it feels sturdy even when a foot off the wall.Great product, I feel like I could hang off this mount with no trouble.

Well made and versatile tv mount. Instructions were clear and the included template made installation easy. this has been on my wall now for 3 plus months and I'm confident it's there to stay.I found this a doable one person job but it's definitely easier with a second set of hands.

A great very sturdy tv wall mount. Easy to install and holds the tv very nicely. Everything was included and the instructions were easy to follow. Might need a second person to help hold the tv mount while installing it.

This is a very good TV mount. I used it for a 65in LG OLED C1 TV which weights around 75lbs.I had already owned a different full motion mount for my prior TV but given the required placement of the mount on that TV (much lower), I was going to have to move the old one anyway. The specs on that one suggested that it maxed out on a 60inch TV. I'm sure it would've worked but that other mount was somewhat tough to move when the TV was actually on it so I decided to get a new one. In comes the ECHOGEAR mount...Everything needed for mounting was included. Especially important are the lag bolts for the portion that mounts to the wall. I don't believe I received those with the prior mount so that's an extra cost (and trip) to factor in for other mounts. Also appreciated the template provided. Instructions were clear, well written and entertaining. I really don't know why that is so hard for many companies but they could take a cue from ECHOGEAR on how to write instructions.Overall, installing the mount was not difficult. The hardest part is just making sure you find studs in the wall and are relatively centered on them. And I guess holding the mount while installing the first couple of lag bolts. My installation has the TV located in a cutout over my fireplace -- i.e. a recessed nook. My TV is 57in wide, the cutout is about 59in wide so there isn't a lot of clearance on the sides. After mounting the brackets to the TV, I measured from the bracket hooks on the TV to the top and bottom of the TV to ensure I was placing it at the right height in the cutout. Marked the height in the nook, grabbed the template and marked where my lag bolts would go in. I pre-drilled the holes and then held up the mount while screwing in the lag bolts, making sure it was level along the way. After that, it's just a matter of extending the mount, setting the TV brackets on the front top of the mount and securing the bottom. As another reviewer stated, it's a good idea to tighten down the tilt mechanism prior to putting on the TV, it can always be adjusted later.Overall, this could probably be done in about 20 minutes but I probably took an hour just to measure multiple times and think thru what I was doing. As I said, I only had about an inch clearance on either side so I was worried that my slightly off-center studs were going to make it very difficult. Based on where the holes in the backplate are and where my studs were located, the mount was an inch closer on one side then the other, so I was still worried about being centered. Turns out, that was all for naught -- while it's good to be as centered as possible, there is sufficient lateral movement in the mount to get the TV centered even if the mount isn't.You might be asking, why only 4 stars? Well, I have a couple of small gripes. Some may be fair, some less so:1. This mount moves easily, even with a 75lb mounted. Much, much better then my last one. I wanted this feature but now that it's mounted, I'm not as convinced I do. I only need the movement when first mounting it to pull the TV out, connect everything and then push the TV back into the cutout. After that, I'd prefer it didn't move again until I replace it. WIth this mount, if you touch the TV, it will move -- no real force needed. Given my minimal clearance on the sides and the fact that my TV is a thin piece of glass, I have minor concerns that I'm going to bounce it into the walls when cleaning. Hard to blame the mount for being too fluid but it's a thing.2. The paper template is nice for marking your holes. My minor gripe there is that it's hard to hold a piece of paper against a wall, put a level on it and mark the spots for you lag bolts at the same time. Very minor complaint and there may be some trick to this that I'm missing but it would be lovely if some clever person came up with a solution to that -- like a thicker edge on the template.3. Another minor complaint that may be more on LG then ECHOGEAR -- which screw should I use to mount the brackets to the TV? ECHOGEAR provides several different sizes with different lengths and widths. Ideally, you want to use the longest one that will fit in your TV. The problem is, that if you use one that is too long, you break your TV. If you use one too short, your TV may dismount prematurely. This is probably on the TV manufacturer to provide since I'm sure it varies. But a note in the instructions would be nice on how best to determine this. I struggled with this longer then I should have. For me, I took a medium length M10 bolt, attempted to thread it slowly and gently into the TV to see if it would fit all the way. It did, so I went with that. Could I have used a longer one? Perhaps, but we'll never know.4. The last gripe is cost. My previous mount was about $50. This one was closer to $120. They are both equally heavy duty and built very similarly. This one has much more fluid motion so it's worth extra $$. But is it worth over double? Probably not. But given how much I spent on the TV, I'm not going to lose sleep over the cost of the mount but I feel like it would be a better value around $80 and that would have warranted a 5th star from me.In summary, I listed gripes but the reality is that there are many more features of this mount that are good and it's definitely something I would purchase again or recommend to a friend. However, I would also have them watch to see if they could get it a little cheaper than list price.

Large, heavy, sturdy, solid mount. Just do NOT EVER BUY used pre-owned from Amazon and hire someone to help install the mount because undoubtedly, like me, there will be a part MISSING! Amazon accepted the replacement of course, but I am still very disappointed. Only buy this NEW.

If you are looking for a solid TV mount, you can't go wrong with this one. I purchased one a few years ago and then we moved and left it for buyers. We needed one again and I did not hesitate to purchase another. It is a very solid build and although I can work with less than stellar directions, I love the straight forward and even humorous directions for this product. This mount gives me confidence when hanging our TV.
