Question: When the mount is in the "closed" position, does the center of the TV line up with the wall mounting bolts? Or is it offset horizontally?
Document: Mounting requires that the arm be secured into a stud (2 screws, my method) or into a masonry wall (6 plastic wall anchors and 3/16"x2 screws supplied). The only issue with mounting the arm into a stud is that studs don't always fall where you want them. With this arm in the fully retracted position, the VESA mtg plate is offset 1.75" from the center of the wall mounting plate.
This mount does not come with the center hinge pin as shown in the picture, also even after loosening both hinges it is still hard to position the TV out from the wall for viewing and then returning it back against the wall.
I was a little apprehensive about ordering this bracket as some of the negative reviews pointed out problems with the hardware. When the product arrived the hardware seemed pretty good. I was able to get the bracket installed in a little more than 30 minutes. Overall I would rate the quality of the bracket as good. You receive an assortment of bolts for mounting the TV to the bracket. I would recommend the bracket for anyone wanting to mount a smaller TV, btw I mounted a 19inch to the wall for my stepson.
This wall mount is great the only problem is that it doesn't allow for the screen to be adjusted clock wise or counter clock wise. The only screen adjustments are two pivot points for pitch, one horizontal and one vertical. The screen only stays straight when the arm is closed. The closer to the closed position the straighter it gets. When the arm is opened the screen immediately has a bad tilt to it and appears lop sided. There is no pivot point to compensate for this tilt.
Easy to install, although use your variable speed drill with bit to drive in the hex head screws into the studs rather than the wimpy little wrench. Make sure your mounting height accounts for where the TV center point is once it is mounted.
We wanted a long arm. This was it! The tv gets all the way off the wall and can turn 90 degrees either way with space to spare. It was a little stiff in movement at first, but after a few weeks it has limbered up. You can loosen the bolts, but it causes it to sag or not stay in place, so I recommend doing what we did. The bolts were fine for stud mounting (I recommend not doing drywall).
I'm using this mount for a 19" LCD monitor. It a heavy-duty mount so it's a little overkill for a smaller monitor but it does the job well and the 20" reach is exactly what I needed. The mount does not articulate vertically, however you can tilt the screen back and forth as needed, although the tilt function is not real smooth and the tilt probably needs to be locked down. The mount moves horizontally to any position you need.
Very heavy duty and works well. I have this installed with a 22" HDTV and it holds it's position and is fine.Maybe its obvious to some but this installs with 6 lag bolts and you need a ratchet and not just screws like I first thought.
This mount is doing what I needed it to do, simply and easily. the cable management ring and the mounting plate cover are nice touches. Comes with plenty of hardware for mounting options on the wall and at the display.
I have two of these that I use to mount 19" Sylvania LCD TV's. They are well constructed and have plenty of screws included to cover all types of mounting scenarios, as well as mounting the TV to the mount. They work really well - you can tilt your TV down as well as maneuver it around quite extensively due to the articulation. I highly recommend this mount!
Answer: Hi Matt, The mount arms are of unequal lengths. The pivot-pivot length of the wall arm is ~9.5 inches and the TV arm is ~7.5 inches. Hope this helps.
