Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I tried this mount out with my 55" Samsung LED LCD TV. I really wanted to use this slim mount as it was 2 to 3 time cheaper than the Samsung. The aluminum blocks that screw on the wall are of very good quality and simple design that mimics the Samsung version. The supplied wall plaster screw system, two large plastic inserts that fit into the plaster, for my taste are not strong enough to trust hanging your TV on. From my experience these types of plaster inserts do not grip the back of the plaster wall sufficiently to be considered sturdy. The Samsung kit supplies four Hilti plaster board bolt systems which are much more strong. Still I would at least place one of the two aluminum blocks with large wall screws (supplied) directly into an available 2x4" beam behind the plaster board.
The 1.5" bolts that fit into the wire part of the mount (two plastic disks joined by a 12" wire) were used with two 1/2" plastic spacers. This meant that 0.5" of bolt would screw into the TV. I noted that the bolt would not be able to fully screw into the TV as there was 0.3" of space for the bolt. You could use the shorter bolts but I wanted to use the 0.5" plastic spacers so the TV would have a slight downward tilt to it. I really did not want to tighten these bolts into a 0.9" thick Samsung TV and find out what could happen if they deformed anything as they tightened. I guess I could have added some larger washers to get the spacing right (none were supplied).
Finally the two plastic parts that fit onto the top of the TV had me worried. The wire part consists of two plastic disks strung together by a plastic coated wire. The black plastic appears to be regular ABS type plastic, hard and perhaps brittle. The wire is held in side the disks by a wire end crimps about 1/4" wide. This would direct all the weight of the TV on to these two crimps, one on either side of the wire and thus onto the inner side of the plastic disk. This is alot of force to apply continuously to a little area of plastic. For a 40" LED TV, I feel it would be okay with that degree of stress. For the 55" TV I hung on the wall, this potential for a crack had me worried. In the end do you really trust a little piece of Chinese plastic to hold your new TV? My examination of the identical mount from Samsung had me really appreciate the construction of the Samsung and worry about the quality of this knock off wall mount. In the end my 55" is hanging off a Samsung wall mount drilled into one 4x4" wood stud and one Hilti plaster board mount.
