More than just basic,

This review is from: AmazonBasics Universal Tilt TV Wall Mount for 34- to 65-Inch Displays (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The AmazonBasics TV Wall Mount is a well made product. Compared to some older and more expensive mounts, the metal is thicker and more sturdy. (I'm not giving a link because specifications that changed "without notice" made some products different from what I bought it in the past, and I don't mean in a good way.) Although it's true that even thinner wall plates should be more than capable of holding TVs of the rated size and weight, any flex to the metal can defy attempts to level things.
The Amazon mount's wall plate is made of steel with a mostly solid backing, and openings for mounting holes. One of the missing "features" of this product are cutouts in the plate for wall outlet plates, or other openings for in-wall cable connections. What this means is that Amazon did not remove steel and promote it as a feature, and you will still have plenty of room behind a TV to install an outlet above or below the backing plate.
The distance between the leftmost and...Read more

I bought this for my parent's new 40" LCD. Since they're my parents, I was also nice enough to install it for them. This is the third TV that I have wall-mounted and was by far the easiest. The instructions were straightforward and everything you needed was included (except for the drill and drill bit of course). The backplate even had a built in level and there was a stud finder in the box! After mounted, the TV feels really sturdy and adjustment is pretty easy. I would definitely buy this mount again.

I was excited to see that Amazon had their own mounts and got one. But unfortunately, after trying it out, we concluded that it was really not the best option. To be fair, it is a substantial mount. The shipping label on the box had the weight at 22lbs. So you get a lot of metal for your money. But that is actually one of its problems.
On the wall, this mount is 35" wide and sticks out from the wall over 3". So it is very big. So big that it is actually slightly wider than our 37" TV. And it just didn't look right to have a TV that is only 1.2" thin and then have the mount stick out over 3". Amazon states that the mount is for 34-65" TVs. It was clearly too wide for our 37" TV and even on a 40" or 42" TV, if you stood to the side at all you will still easily see the mount behind the TV. Seeing the mount is not that big of a deal, but when you add in how far out it came, it was enough that it got a quick veto from my wife. We had two TVs and the mount would have...Read more
