(More customer reviews)I purchased this mount knowing it was considerably more money when compared to other mounts on the market. My reasoning is that when you are putting out $2000 for a HDTV, you don't want to go cheap on the wall mount you are going to hang it on. The Bell'o is built like a tank. It is solid and it is heavy. It is a very nice design. The arm comes completely assembled with the bottom rail. Intallation is pretty easy. You mark the wall for the top rail, drill holes and mount the rail with two lag bolts. The entire arm assembly goes up next to hang on the top rail. This was the hardest part of the installation because the arm can move and it is a bit awkward because of the weight. Two people may be required. After it is up, mark the holes for the lower mounting rail and take the arm back down. Drill the holes. Put the arm back up and drive the other two lag bolts. That's it. Four bolts and you are done with the arm. Not like some of cheapo ones that are like erector sets with all of the brackets and things to screw together. You drive four more screws to put the brackets on the TV and then lift the TV into place. Then put in two locking screws to secure the TV brackets to the arm. Done. 10 screws total.
Adjustments are a piece of cake. One included tool for adjusting tilt, level, arm tension, etc. The wall bracket has a spot to hold the tool so no worries about losing the wrench. After you are done adjusting, there are plastic snap on covers to give the installation a nice finished look.
I had my doubts when it was up on the wall but I soon became a believer when I pulled the arm out straight and I did a chin up on it and I weigh over 200 lbs and the arm never flinched. (We purchased this from my wifes account but Carole's husband is actually writing this review) Ok, my 76 lb VIZIO 55 inch TV is going to do just fine.
Can you buy a cheaper TV mount? Sure. Can you buy a better one for the application? I doubt it.
