Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: 1. Save $100 over what the name brand version is going for.
2. Can be a safe and secure mount if you put some effort (and a few extra dollars) into it.
Cons: 1. Provided plastic wall anchors are not acceptable.
2. Poor instructions.
3. No fancy-pants decorative cover for the part that goes behind your TV.
I highly recommend watching the youtube instructional video for the Samsung version of this wall mount. The instructions included with this kit are not helpful and could even be misleading. The video will show you the proper way to install the mount and show you the primary differences between the Samsung version and the knock off. Here are the obvious differences in order of importance: 1. The drywall anchor in the Samsung version is very sturdy and you will want to buy one to use with the knockoff (or two, depending on whether you can hit a stud or not- you can only hit one stud on a standard wall because the mounting discs go 8 inches apart on the wall). DO NOT use the plastic ones provided with the knockoff. The one you will want to buy is a 3/16" Toggler Snaptoggle rated for over 250 lbs. This mounts the aluminum disc very securely. I got 2 for $4. Also if you are hitting a stud, do not use the wood screw provided as it strips very easily. 2. Samsung version has a rubber grommet that goes around the aluminum disc where it attaches to the wall. It appears to protect the wall paint from the wire. I figure who cares, you are already drilling holes in your wall. 3. Samsung version has decorative "samsung" caps that go over the aluminum discs. You cannot see these once you hang your TV.
Other than those things, my only concern was the plastic that holds the wires in place as a few reviews have mentioned these breaking. Do not over tighten them as there is a gap under the plastic. This gap allows you to knot an extra wire (110lb rated in home depot picture hanging section for $2)around either the main bolt that also holds the plastic pieces into the TV or the smaller screw above it. I used the smaller screw and also needed a 4mm steel washer. Doing this gives you a secure emergency wire that also goes over the aluminum discs in case the plastic pieces fail to securely hold the included wire. I feel confident that with all this, I have saved myself a hundred bucks and have a very securely mounted set (UN40C6400). I hope this helps.

This wall mount bracket is for LED TVs that need to be mounted as close to the wall as possible and hang like a picture frame, comparable to the name brand solution WMN1000B. With less than 15mm (14.5mm to be exact, yes MILLIMETERS which equates to just 0.57 inches) this is one of the slimmest wall mounting solutions on the market today! Featuring high quality mounting hardware and a "kick-stand" style lever to hold the TV away from the wall while connecting and disconnecting cables, this mount has a unique design that's both visually appealing as well as functional. Compare with Samsung $249 WMN1000B, you can go with this factory direct generic solution with just as good build quality.
