After a year and a half my 55” TV is still hanging. I like being able to position the TV in the room depending on the angle I am viewing it from. The mounting screws it came with seemed a little sketchy for mounting a 50 lb. TV. So I just went to my local hardware store and purchased 2 lag bolts that were still small enough to fit in the holes in the back. Screwed the lag bolts directly into the studs and that’s it.
