Let me start by saying, this mount is a game-changer for anyone with a large TV. I installed it for my 75-inch beast, and the sturdiness blew me away - no wobbles even when fully extended!
The full motion features are where this really shines. Being able to pull my TV out 16 inches means I can finally see the screen perfectly from my kitchen while cooking. The +/-45° swivel is smooth as butter - no jerky movements that make you nervous about your expensive TV.
Installation was surprisingly straightforward. The included template made marking drill holes foolproof, though I'll echo other reviewers - you absolutely need a stud finder (not included) and a second pair of hands for larger TVs. Took me about 45 minutes from unboxing to mounted TV.
The tilt adjustment has been a lifesaver for reducing glare from our bay windows. Being able to tweak the angle without tools means I'm constantly making micro-adjustments as the sun moves - my wife thinks I'm obsessed!
One thing to watch: at full extension with a heavy TV, there's slight downward tilt unless you really crank the tension bolts. Not dangerous, but something to be aware of during setup.
Cable management is decent but could be better - I ended up adding some velcro straps to keep everything tidy when swiveling.
For the price, this delivers premium performance that rivals mounts costing twice as much. After six months of daily use (including enthusiastic gaming sessions), it's holding up perfectly with zero signs of wear.
