I recommend watching a video or two online to get a basic idea of how to install this thing. The instructions are pretty basic - just pictures - and if you have never done this before, just pictures isn't enough (at least not for me). I took off one star for that. Fortunately the VESA mounting system works for all VESA compatible TVs/Monitors. There are a LOT of options of course, and figuring out which one works for your TV is the only real hard part.
The package includes a dizzying array of hardware to accommodate all the various VESA configurations. It also includes drywall expanders in case you can't find a stud - which I think is crazy! I STRONGLY recommend you DO NOT use these and mount this directly to a 2x4 in your wall! Once mounted on a 2x4, you can feel how solid and strong the hold is on this mount. I think drywall expanders would be dicey at best to hold the TV safely.
To adjust the horizontal direction or to pull the TV out further from the wall is simple and easy. The motion is smooth and easy to do. Adjusting the TILT is not so easy and requires you to loosen two nuts behind the TV. That is the ONLY thing that is even remotely annoying about the operation of this mount. Though I really don't know if any other TV mount would allow for an easier tilt adjustment. Fortunately, I'm happy to set a slight downward tilt and don't foresee adjusting that at all.
The mount has a good range of motion and can almost allow you to turn the TV at a 45 degree angle - almost - but not quite. I'd say it's more like a 30 degree rotation. But that's pretty good for today's wide screen TV's!
Overall I think this is an excellent value and works perfectly!
