(More customer reviews)First, I'm sorry that I forgot that there wasn't a picture of this mount, or else I would have taken one before I mounted the screen. The mount is a flat piece of steel, with grooves on the top and the bottom and multiple holes for mounting. There are two pieces which screw into the back of your flat panel (with included hardware, see below for details), and hook to the mounting plate and provide the ability to tilt.
Mounting was not the easiest in the world; if you aren't handy at all with tools, you should get help or think about another mount. You will need:
1) A stud finder
2) A level
3) Drill with 3/8" bit
4) Wrench to drive in the lag bolts, or better yet an adapter for the drill.
5) Screwdriver to take the TV off its current stand.
I have a 37" LCD screen (by Olevia) I was mounting, so I decided to use two studs. Maybe with a smaller screen you could get away with just one, but given that you are putting something worth a grand or more on the wall, having it come crashing down is a bad thing. Putting up the mount is slightly difficult; if you have ever put up anything heavy that needs to be level you will be OK.
Once I got the mount up (the hardest part was getting the TV onto the mount) I am very happy with it. It has a very solid feel, that flat panel isn't going anywhere. They advertise a "one touch" tilt: I disagree. If you want to constantly adjust the angle, get another product. This works best in the "set it and leave it alone" mode. I have this on the wall in the bedroom, up high enough so the sight line clears the end of the bed. This is perfect, because the mount tilts downward, so while in bed you have a 0 degree angle of view.
I did mention the mounting hardware. The brackets that attach to the TV mount differently to each model. There is a long list, sorted my manufacturer, which tells you which of the included hardware (different lengths of screws, washers, and spacers) you may need. Be sure to read that. It is critical. Get the wrong hardware and your set will come right off the mount.
Overall, I'm very pleased. This mount does what I needed it to do, and went up with only a minor fight.
