Cons: Expensive, Low Quality
"The wing nut will not tighten on the mount sufficiently enough to keep the TV from tilting forward. It is really not made for a 32 inch tv. TV weight about 35 lbs well under the 50lbs it states it would handle. I am very disappointed with the mount and will return. It may work well with a 22 inch but not a 32."

All I expected

Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Good Quality
Cons: Expensive
"This mount worked perfectly for my TV, 26" Sanyo for the bedroom. It was easy to easy to assemble and mount on the wall. Adjusted the wing nut tension for tilting before mounting on the wall and it holds the tilt position. My only complaint would be the $20 higher cost than the F11 model for 2 pieces of strap metal and some extra bolts and washers, otherwise the mounts are the same."

Just for Mounting on wood studs
Date:January 11, 2011
Cons: Expensive, not intended for being installed on metal studs
"Paying $50.00 for this product was too high (production costs should be less than $10.00) but I needed it immediately so I had to buy. To my surprise there was not information of installation on metal studs, and the video here just says ... "for mounting on a wood stud"
The package should disclose that! Now I have to disasemble everything and return this piece of iron to the store were I bought it and start looking for a piece (cheaper hopefully) that can be mounted on a metal stud."

Pros: Close to Wall
Cons: can't tighten wingnut with tv on the wall, couldn't secure bracket to wall studs
"We have a 32" Samsung that is about 35 pounds. I didn't have any problem with "sag", but I also wasn't able to tighten the wingnut. (That is my little problem). I also have to wonder if the TV with the bit of sag is truly level.
We cannot get the wingnut tightened because of space. This is close to the wall so our hands will not fit behind to tighten it. My guess is that they best way to tighten this is to install the TV, see where you want it tilted to and mark the spot by the wingnut, then take the TV off the wall to tighten the wingnut, then put the TV back on the wall. We didn't bother with it. We left the wingnut alone and let the bottom of the TV rest against the wall at full tilt. Our television is mounted with the top only a 3-4 inches from the ceiling so the angle was okay to view. Today I stuck an empty tube of toilet paper (with about an inch cut off) behind the bottom section of the TV to keep it at a lesser tilt. It's keeping it in place and we didn't have to bother with taking the TV down to tighten it.
One other problem we had, is that we didn't have studs where the bracket needed to be. The bracket is small and couldn't be adjusted to fit onto the 2x4's in the wall. We ended up mounting a horizontal piece of oak onto the wall into the studs then mounting the bracket onto the oak so it would have a solid attachment for the weight. Our 2x4's were really off center so we had to use a long piece of board. it sticks out about an inch from the edge of the television when walking past, but when siting in front of the TV to watch we cannot see it at all."

Pros: Close to Wall, Easy to Use
Cons: misleading size/weight specs
"I purchased this mount for my 30" lcd computer monitor for my office. It's about 31 lbs without the stand (obviously). Rated for 50 lbs and 32", i figured this should be plenty.
It's not.
The wingnut isn't strong enough to hold the tilt straight. The bottom left of the screen 'sags' due to the right-side wingnut and flex within the mount.
It's probably good for a 22", but if you're going for 30 or 32, i'd get a different model.
Easy to install, and its pretty study though."
