Amazon Basics Tilting Low Profile TV Wall Mount for 12 to 39" TVs and Flat Panels up to 40 Lbs, Black

Extremely easy to swivel, but it's also very sturdy and reassures you how safe it is with the built-in leveler. I think a lot of people don't realize how badly they need a swivel mount until they get one. It's practically impossible to ever change your HDMI, audio, or Roku/Streaming devices. After ten years of having one of the older ones that isn't this, we're painstakingly pulling it off the wall and throwing it in the trash after assembling 2 of these already. A third one (the 32-to-80-inch) is on the way. We had the "top seller" one to save a few bucks but that doesn't have motion. It's awful. You need a specific screwdriver to swap out a new television (or repair it), it's burdensome, and you can't reach any of the HDMI or ports. You're also terrified if your wall is going to fall off. You're going to be swearing up and down with your phone's flashlight trying to figure out where the hell any of the parts are in a half inch of space. Seriously, at least 100 times of trying to get back there and using every colorful word I could imagine with those non-swivel things. This one has extremely fluid motion, but stays still. The TV only moves when you want it to move, and stays perfectly still when you leave it alone for 15 months. Assembly is always scary at first for every wall mount (you're drilling holes into your building's structure for a 100lb television to not crack anything), but this is easily the cleanest install. After owning the other one for 2 years, I had forgotten how to do it again. But it was hanging up within the hour. If you're a first-time wall mount installer, read every direction extremely carefully. I think a lot of the 1-stars here got a little too gungho and just started drilling without actually mapping where it was going to go and how much space they needed.

I’ve bought a variety of Amazon Basics products but nothing quite like this. Although I’ve had good experiences with Amazon Basics I was still a bit skeptical about a wall mount. Fortunately this has lived up to the quality I expect from Amazon products. I haven’t mounted many TVs or monitors before but by comparison this was as easy or easier to setup. You’ll need all the same tools like a stud finder, a drill, a level, and a screw driver but it all went up very quick. What I really like about this is how easy it was to literally attach my monitor to the mount arm. Some other mounts have somewhat harder connection points to line up but this was as easy as just hanging the monitor with attached mounting plate to the arm. There is just a simple hook to hang on the arm and then a screw you can attach to the bottom to secure your monitor or tv. As long as your properly connected to the studs the mount feels solid and I don’t notice the arm flexing at all under the weight of the monitor. The arm extends to where you want it and stays where you need it. Overall it’s been great and for the price this is another Amazon Basics product I can happily recommend.

Okay so this review isn't going to be super in depth. It's mainly to help people understand why they should get it and a little bit of instruction. I bought it mainly because, at the time, it was cheaper than every other one and it's design appealed to me. And everything was as advertised! Installation was easy (disclaimer--I like to build things). The instructions are easier to understand than other instructions I've read (though I still found myself re-reading the same instructions a couple of times to make sure). If you have never installed one of these before, the fear of your nice TV dropping will be there unfortunately. But, if you do the part where the anchor is installed correctly, IT WILL WORK. I stress that to give others confidence. That said...did I poke more holes than I needed to? Yes. Did I keep on checking to see if the TV moved a little after a day, week, and month and a few months had passed? Yes. In short, I really think this type of TV mount, needs to be used more often--mine is a 55 inch and I know that most people get this size when they get a big TV. The other stud-based anchoring types are the ones I see everyone use and it's a much harder install if you don't have a stud finder. If you've got drywall and you're afraid of the studs not being at the proper place to center your TV, buy this. Tools needed: Flat/Phillips Screwdrivers Level (The ruler with the bubble in the middle) Stud finder (you can also knock on the wall--go to Youtube to learn) A cheap drill Pencil for markings. Time needed: 20-45 minutes. Things to note: Sometimes your drywall won't be completely flat. This may affect the wall mount being able to "lay flat" on the wall. Don't worry, the wall mount will still work even if it's not flush against the wall. Just make sure you install everything according to the instructions. It's been a year and my 55 inch tv has not moved an inch!

This should have been an easy install but it didn't become easy until I threw away the instructions and used my own good common sense. I installed this on a small narrow plaster wall that had no studs and here are a few of my notes: The instructions- if that is what you can call them- are only going to confuse you horribly. I used to write technical manuals that included schematics by mechanical engineers and all I could think is that if our universities are graduating engineers that produce this level of instruction, we are all in serious trouble. With the TV turned over on it's front, I placed the bar over the screw holes on the back of the TV and attached it with the included ( tiny) screws and washers that are really too small in diameter until you push the bar all the way to the top of the hole. Be sure to do that otherwise the TV will fall off the bar. The screw heads and washers should have been larger in diameter. If you have screws with larger heads and larger washers, I would recommend using them. I then oriented the wall fixture to the back of the tv and connected it to the bar to determine how far into the groove the bar would go and yes, it fits all the way down into the groove. So, I measured the distance from the bottom of the groove ( on the bar attached to the TV) to the top of the tv which was 7.5 inches. I then got my T-square and was able to draw a straight horizontal line across the wall that was 7.5" below the light wall fixture switch on that wall. I needed the top of the TV to be at the same level as the bottom of the light switch. The wall fixture does have a bubble level on it but the fixture is very heavy and not totally flush with the wall, so it tends to constantly slip. It's best to draw a pencil line on the wall and stay oriented to that line. I then placed the wall fixture on the wall with the bottom of the fixture on the line I drew on the wall. While holding it steady with my left hand, I placed two of the included nails into the nail holes near or at the middle of the fixture and began hammering them in. You MUST have a strong hand to hold the fixture extremely still because otherwise, the fixture will move down as you hammer ( the nails are at an angle) I then hammered in the rest of the nails except for two which I hammered straight into the wall using the holes below the top holes. One thing I noticed is that the wall fixture was slightly bowed and wouldn't lie flush to the wall so a couple of my nails were a bit loose but I'm not worried about that. That's all I did. I didn't add a screw but maybe I might have to later on as the house vibrates and such. No biggie- at least the heavy monster is already in place. I then added two of the bumper/spacers to the back of the TV in the two screws below the bar mount. It turned out that I needed to add a little more height to the spacer in order to straighten/remove a slight lean to the TV and so I just took two of the black rubber gasket things and pushed them into the bumpers and voila...perfect fit. I am very satisfied with my installation and confident that it will hold given how many nails are holding it up. In summary, I ONLY used the included nails and the bumper wall spacers and that's it. The rest of the hardware is stored in a plastic bag for future use if I need them.

Fantastic mount! I didn't expect this to work as well as it does. Truth be told, it couldn't be much better. Now, I wasn't sure from the product description, but you do need to install it using the two half-inch toggle bolts. The bolts it came with are very long; I had to file them down with a Dremel to get them to fit in the wall. The nails up top provide some added support and help secure it close to the wall, but the stability is due in large part to those toggle bolts. I wouldn't trust this mount without those, so I don't recommend it if you have qualms about drilling out a half-inch hole in the wall. It also has options for mounting into concrete; just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. It even comes with a half-inch drill bit that you can turn by hand if you are doing a drywall mount. We mounted the TV directly into drywall with no studs (the studs we have are metal and oddly located, so we could not use them). I mounted a 55-inch Samsung 4K LED TV (2016 model), and it sits as close to flush against the wall as possible. This mount made our small living room look more open, since the TV could sit directly on the wall rather than sticking out a few inches. It looks great and holds great. I was nervous at first (since this was the first time I had mounted a TV in my house, and I'd heard horror stories), but I've learned to trust that it's not going to fail. We're about eight months in, and it holds great. One thing that I will also note is that because of how close the TV sits to the wall with this mount, it's pretty difficult if not impossible to access the rear of the TV while it is mounted. If you need to insert/remove a cable or access any controls on the back, I would recommend carefully removing it from the mount first, otherwise you will risk dropping the TV. Also keep in mind there is no way to adjust angles with this type of mount. You just attach the mount to the wall, the bracket to the TV, and then carefully set the TV on the mount. The cord in the middle hangs free and allows you to pull down a metal lever that extends the width of the mount and secures the bracket in the mount. Again, just follow instructions and you're fine.

The mount is heavy and very sturdy. I've only had it installed for about a week, but it appears it will last a very long time. There is a lot of hardware included for varying configurations to meet your installation needs. Installation was very easy. Excellent product. I only have a few complaints that do not warrant a deduction in the overall rating, but which I will share for the benefit of others: 1. The hardware includes hallow wall anchors for mounting. However, the instructions state to only mount to a stud - which I would recommend also. The weight of the mount and of an attached TV at full extension would be more than I would want to put on such anchors. If there is no alternative, I would purchase more robust wall anchors to use. 2. I needed to install this on a stud that was right next to a wall plate for the cable outlet. The width of the bracket that attaches to the wall is too wide to sit right next to the wall plate, so I had to use a small piece of scrap wood so the mount would sit above the wall plate. I will eventually move the cable outlet and repair the drywall so the unit can fit flush against the wall as intended. 3. I had a very specific placement that required me to install the unit upside down. While it could work as is, the mating between the VESA mount and articulating arm would not be ideal. However, I found that the mount at the end of the articulating arm could easily be reversed by removing one screw. I think it would be beneficial to include such instructions in the manual.

A long time ao I refused to buy monster cables because they were over-priced and did nothing more than the cheaper cables, yet so many people were drawn into the belief that the gold plating and super-conductive magic compound made the cables better. It's been much the same for me with TV mounts and how in so many retailers these mounts can cost a hundred dollars. I understand we're putting the expensive investment of our big TVs into the hands of these mounts, but with how light new TVs are there is no need to spend more than $20 bucks for a good quality mount. My TV in the living room weights over 60lbs and has a thick bezel showing its age. That TV is using a strong mount that is stuck to the wall that I got on clearance. The TV I am using this Amazon mount with is much lighter and a bit smaller. The mount is really strong and sturdy. The packaging included a level to make things perfect. The only thing I noticed for the quality was the little badge that says AMAZON BASICS on it was put on crooked and not quite in the place it was meant to. So my point is that this mount is cheap, works well is strong, and there is nothing to complain about. More expensive mounts are not better, they are just more expensive. That's it. JUst like an Android is better than an IPhone but cheaper.

I'm very impressed with this $20 wall mount. I replaced my computer and monitor and thought I would install the old monitor on the wall (desktop below) for use in our kitchenette. It's an 8 year old, 22 inch monitor with VESA holes and did not require the included adapter. All of the potential hardware you could need are included with the item. I think 3 sizes of screws and even rubber washers. If you own a drill and can find a stud, this is super easy to install and worth the $20. The included lag bolts were a bit of a bear, but with a cordless drill and socket were no trouble. The lag bolts can be installed with a Phillips head, but due to amount of force required, a socket is a safer bet. I'm fairly certain I would have stripped them with a screwdriver bit. There is an included template and level (a LEVEL!). I'm a little handy, not much, and this was a pretty easy project. The mount can be rotated nearly flush to the wall (part of the arm will be exposed) when not in use, and extended out. It also allows the monitor to be tilted up and down. The plastic cover hides the hardware and looks pretty good. All and all, I don't think you can go wrong with this item. One thing I just remembered, I was very excited about the built in cord keeper, but it's kind of useless. It's too small to fit an HDMI, DVI or monitor power cord through the holes on either end, and the opening in the "C" portion is barely big enough to fit a cellphone cord through it. Still think it's a great buy, just count on finding a different cord solution.

We have 3 different types of wall mount tv brackets at home and this is by far the best we bought in terms of quality, functionalities and value! It's very sturdy, very well made, with clear instructions. You can pull out and push back towards the wall smoothly and it does tilt as well. It's perfect to plug in firestick whenever you want.

I had to think a bit about the angles/extensions that this bracket was capable of in the 'interesting' corner of a large open-plan flat. Having done that, I'm very happy that it was the best way of making a large screen blend into the airy style of our new flat. Over the widest arc of the articulated arm's travel, there is very little variation - millimetres - in the resting vertical/inclination angles of a large screen at different viewing points. This depends on the quality of engineering and strength/accuracy of the swivel joints and structural metal components. Pretty impressive - I think - at this price point! The only negative for me now is that one ultimate purpose - Ipswich Town match viewings with Warsaw friends - may have to be reviewed due to the current quality of that offering not matching the rest of the setup!

Design & Build quality are excellent. Supplied screws and nuts and other tools are nice. The installation instructions booklet contains detailed explanation. They are giving so much importance just for a tiny wall mount. Amazing Amazonbasics.

Easy to install

Le migliori staffe in circolazione, robuste. Facili da montare e resistenti. Ne ho acquistate 3 per il mio B&B supportano tranquillamente TV da 50 pollici. Ottimo affare
