It seems as if they had a standard (non-articulating) mount that they realized no one was buying and added the arm to it. The result is instruction that don't show the arm but just a flat panel mount. <br />In addition, unlike other similar mounts, the articulating arm piece that attaches to the wall uses 6 screws (2 rows of 3) which makes it impossible for all of the screws to attach to a single stud. <br />Moreover, when attaching the arm piece to the standard wall piece the giant flat piece of metal is highly visable and unattractive for what I would like to see in a flat panel mount. <br />To make matters worse, the TV can easily slide from side-to-side on this giant piece of metal, which is not only cumbersome but scary.... <br /> Rating: 3 / 5 First of all, the directions for using this mount are useless.

Moreover, when attaching the arm piece to the standard wall piece the giant flat piece of metal is highly visable and unattractive for what I would like to see in a flat panel mount.

To make matters worse, the TV can easily slide from side-to-side on this giant piece of metal, which is not only cumbersome but scary….

It was soooo easy to set up. Don't let the price scare you away, It is as well built as the ones you buy at the named brand stores. I would recomend this to anyone, and I already have to my freinds. WELL WORTH THE PRICE!! Rating: 5 / 5 I bought this mount and love it! It was soooo easy to set up.

The horizontal piece that is screwed onto the wall (parallel to the floor) and the vertical piece that goes on next is not what I call "secure". It is the vertical piece that takes actual "pressure" exerted by the weight of the TV and the frame, "NOT" the parallel part. The vertical piece holes are only about err 6 inches apart (left and right) so how the hell do you expect me to screw both sides onto a stud (so only one side will be screwed onto the stud) when most studs are around 16" apart? You might think that the pressure is partially distributed to the horizontal piece, but it doesn't (unless you meld the two pieces together, or allow the vertical piece to fit first into the wall, then apply the horizontal piece). This unit is good if you have studs that fit perfectly on the vertical bar, or mount it outside like on concrete or something where you don't have to worry about studs.
