I just installed this item and am wondering if anybody else's was extremely stiff. It is almost completely impossible to adjust the TV.

There should be some bolts with locking nuts on them at the swivel joints. I have had to loosen those just a very small amount. Also I have just moved it by hand to limber it up.

I swear that I had a discussion about this (some thread somewhere else) ... either way, my problems have been fixed by switching to another TV (Hannspree 42") i'll try to find the thread and post it here

No, I have not gotten that on mine. Not sure what that would be. Maybe check your cable connection to make sure they are not loose.

i have the same tv and it annoys the crap outta me! im sending this one back ive had it for about 2 weeks, picture is awesome but the motion blur is too distracting and make them look like cut outs.

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

Yeah, I waited for months and finally pulled the trigger when it was that low. It's back up to 2350.00 now. On the last post I meant to say it jumped from 2144.99 to 2299.99 not 2999.99. I didn't mount it but I have it on my dvd/boxset cabinet and thanks to its wide base and it being fairly light (especially for the size) it works well. There are tons of wall mounts out there but most just say fits any LCD 32"-50" or something like that. I have never mounted a tv so I wouldn't be able to help you but just google it and you should find recommendations.

I have the TV facing at over 90 degrees from the wall it is mounted on. [Odd situation, but just sayin'] There are also adjustments to compensate for not mounting it perfectly "square" on the wall.

The sound does not go extremely loud. You didn't do anything wrong installing it. I think that is the loudest that this model TV can go. I tried raising the sound with the cable system but that didn't do anything either. I think that it is at a comfortable setting but if you have a loud appliance you might have trouble hearing it over the noise. Quite happy with the tv.

I'm really interested in hearing what you found. We just got a new Samsung TV and it has the same problem.

Mine is a little stiff. I think it's suppose to be so it doesn't move by accident.

There's definitely a way to do it; I had the same problem initially. If memory serves, there's a little lever or something that you need to push/pull before you can adjust it. Pretty sure it was detailed in the instructions that came with mine.

We attempted to install it and the mount wouldn't fit our tv. I was going to return it and they wanted to charge me 20 dollars to ship it back. It is currently collecting dust in my office.

Possibly defective. Had the same problem. I contacted the seller and got a replacement which seems to work fine. It could also be a problem with your TV interfacing with the adapter. My experience is that my old 46" Samsung TV will have issues during playback vs. a newer 32" Sony TV where it works well.

Thank you for the replies! So, I shouldn't worry about having to return the tv?? Do you think it could be an issue with the cable box possibly? Or, is it the TV? The line that I see doesn't go away, and is in all modes.

For me it was pretty stiff, i moved it around a couple times and it didn't move a bit. And i mean once you settle it in place, why would it matter? (PS. I used 16-gauge wires and it makes it pretty tight and that could be why it's stiff for me.)

Mine was very stiff at first and I was ready to send it back but I kept trying and it finally twisted and extend. I really like mine and used it a lot last winter.

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff
