The Pros and Cons cover my review for this product. For ~$40 shipped, it is a decent buy, but not worth much more than that. There are other mounts at slightly higher price points that provide much easier installation and leveling than this product.



Installation is definitely a 2-person job with this mount. The extra weight and heft is comforting but it is also questionable whether the mount needs to be this heavy as it makes installation a lot more difficult.

PROS: - Cheap

- Heavy duty, robust and sturdy

- Tilt adjustment works well

- Dual support arms are sturdy and do not flex

- Spirit level included in back plate - but of minimal use (see cons)

CONS: - Instruction manual is absolutely unusable and atrocious. There is absolutely no text in terms of sentences or steps/bullet points. Just a bunch of cryptic illustrations. No mention at all about the fact that the front plate (on which the TV hangs) needs to have the bolts/nuts tightened as it ships very loose.



- Front plate needs to be leveled independently of the backplate, making the backplate leveling a pointless exercise as it has no impact on the final leveling of the TV once it is hung on the front plate. It helps with final leveling adjustment, but the lack of any documentation makes it hard to plan for



- Back plate that mounts on wall is not wide enough. It is barely wide enough to hit 16" spaced studs center to center. But this provides no flexibility in centering the mount if the location where you want to mount the TV is not perfectly centered between 2 studs.



- Given the weight of the mount, it would be nice if the backplate could be detatched from the dual arms for installation and bolting onto the wall/studs. That would make aligning/leveling the wall mount backplate a lot easier. I was able to disassemble the arm to achieve this, but the mount is clearly not designed for this and it was tedious to reassemble the dual arms once the backplate was bolted onto the wall.

The picture of the mount is not the same as the actual one received. The actual mount received has less of an opening on the wall plate. The wall plate is just about 18" wide, but the opening is only 11.5" with roughly 3 - 3.25" or so fully covered on each side. The picture shows the wall plate has an opening nearly the entire width and only a small edge. Also, the front plate does not have the smaller slot holes at the top and bottom. It only has the larger 2 openings on each side of the center. Please update the picture of the actual mount. As a result of this error, the mount will not work for me due to space constraints and I needed to place a return. The item looks more like the sketch with measurements, not the actual picture of the mount.

PROS: Price, quality

CONS: Stiff and picture of item is inaccurate

One of my job duties is to install these mounts and this is the first time I ever had a mount cause everything to get out of "level". The half that went on the wall was level, the half connected to the television was level, but possibly with the weight of the television, it would shift and cause the whole thing to not to be level anymore. Very frustrating - had to take down the TV, check the mount parts, re-tighten everything and then put the TV back up. Had to do all that 4 times and still was not perfectly level in the end.

It was level pushed up against the wall but then would become out of level when the mount was extended - Arrrgh - Hopefully it was just a lemon, I buy enough of these that I would want to purchase this again from Monoprice to save on my expenses.

PROS: Best price I found for mounting a television over 65 inches.



CONS: Heavy - but it's for a larger television so not too surprising

Something about it is not stable - kept getting out of level

Did not tilt as much as you would expect a FULL MOTION mount to tilt

Yeah, it really is a nice wall mount.

My first time installing a wall mount. Mounted my 40" Sony Google TV with ease.

Tips: Read AND understand the diagrams first, get a good studfinder (I used a Zircon e50), take your time, double check your marks, use your own bubble level (not the one on the unit), you'll need a socket wrench to tighen the lag bolts down.

This thing is solid. TV is safe and sound.

PROS: Solid, quality build.
Easy to install.
Incredbily great price. Monoprice puts the big box stores to shame.
Ordered on the 26th, arrived on the 28th (California to California address)
Plenty of hardware etc. for any TV/situation.




CONS: none

Shipping cost are way to high.

PROS: Great product

CONS: Shipping cost are way to high.

If you want a full-motion mount that keeps your TV level when extended, buy a different one. The dual arms that support the TV are not strong enough, and my 55", 75 lb TV (well within stated limits) sagged noticeably at corners when swiveled left or right. No adjustments available on mount to compensate. It was installed (by a pro) dead level into 2 studs, so it's not operator error.

PROS: Cheap price.

CONS: Cheap construction.

Will buy another with no questions asked

PROS: Great product looks nice and love the way I can adjust my TV.

CONS: Only issue I had was the Plastic Anchors. The would not Open when I was screwing in the bolts. I had to get some good wall mout anchor from Home Depot.

great for the price, would be perfect if it had better articulation.

PROS: Very good price, easy to install. can tilt and rotate.

CONS: takes a good deal of effort to rotate, not very smooth

I have ordered other wall mounts from Monoprice and I was extremely happy with the detailed instructions and well-organized parts "bags".

That was NOT true with item 6200. The instructions were nothing more than poorly drawn pictures, no text, and all the parts were in a single bag.

When I contacted Monoprice technical support, they offered absolutely no assistance other than to be willing to email me a copy of the poorly drawn instructions.

If I had not installed a wall mount previously, I would have been lost.

In fairness, the wall mount is solid and works well. So, if you have installed full-function wall mounts, go for it. Otherwise, choose a different product (I don't know how to tell which come with complete instructions), or go with a brand name and pay the price for their expertise and experience.

After shopping around and comparing prices, I was worried that for the unbeatable price, the quality would be sacrificed. It was there the next day, great quality, completely solid design, and my husband and I were able to mount our 55" plasma ourselves. Thanks!

PROS: Super fast shipping, incredible value, great quality, easy to install.
