Looks like I have to hit the wall studs, but what if the studs are not where I want the TV centered? can I adjust left to right?

You can adjust the mount to anywhere you want. All you need to do is go buy drywall anchors and hang it up.

No. This is a one shot deal. It's imperative to make sure all measurements are done properly because once its on the wall it cannot be adjusted.

You have to set your angle lock the screws in before you hang the tv. The installer had me to pick the degree i wanted it set at and then he installed the tv.

u can change the distance between them. my studs weren't perfectly spaced where i mounted it.

Well it depends on the size of your tv- because the arm extends from the wall, then you can turn it 90 degrees in either direction. If your tv is big, it will hit the wall.

At my old place, I just simply set it up without regards to studs and it didn't budge! I purchased a stud finder but I had absolutely no idea how to read the signals to know when I was between and/or near the studs. If I had to guess I would say I set it up under one beam in the ceiling based on my "guesstimation" in which was me believing the indentations in the ceiling were planks of some kind. (I hope this makes sense *_* But I recently moved and I seriously just picked a spot where I wanted it to go and reassembled it. And it again doesn't budge.

No. I would not worry about it. I would look for some additional clamps for the wire though. Tip...make sure to keep the wire short and it will help the TV stay closer to the wall.

The size of the tv does not matter but what matters most is whether the hole of the two plates & the tv match. these holes are part of tv standards so you need to look up the samsung manual and also the installer parts manual. go to their site. you will get a pdf document. the last part is the weight of the tv. check to see if the weight is ok with the wall ( the studs mainly). if that is ok than you are fine. and you will have to install bang in the middle of the wall. not in the corner.regardsParag

My tv is only 2inches or so from the wall. I have to use a long extesion in order to get behind it and tighten the security screw but my tv is larger than most so thats why I can't reach all the way up to the center of it.

I thought about it, then I moved my TV over so I could line it up with the stud. There is just too much weight on this, even empty, for it to be trusted hanging from just anchor bolts in dry wall. I would avoid it if you can.

I had a problem with two of the mounts Timothy mentioned. Both, once installed tilted to the left. As if the left side of the tv is too heavy. I returned the first one and then had a new one, it did the same thing. Instead of returning it too, I made due with it.

Yes, it does adjust. Where my studs were located, the mounting plate wasn't exactly centered on the wall, but the mounting plate is wide enough (30") and has many open slots to allow for adjustments, then your TV bracket hangs on the mounting plate and you are able to move/slide and center your TV, then tighten your set screws located on the bracket to lock it place.

There are 4 brass screw holes on the back of the TV that aligned perfectly with the mount that I purchased at the same time. IF you don't have any brass inserts in the screw holes then I think that you need to contact the seller and let them know. From the answers I see below that was not a problem that any of those that answered your question seemed to have, including myself.

You need to find the wall studs before mounting.They should be 16" or24 on center.

hello yes my LCD tv is slightly leaning to the left few inches lower than the other end. It looks like a very bad design. I put some padding underneat the left pedestal to balance the height. I did not call Amazon or placed service call as I don't believe these things can be fixed without taking back to warehouse

Yes, That was my exact situation. However I had to install wood on each wall to catch 2 studs on each wall. I then put up two 2x4 on the diagonal on a 45 degree. I then mounted the bracket on the 2x4's See my first write up. The mount alone will not work for a 70" TV in a 45 degree corner. I tried it. The mount tilts so you only want the bottom of the TV touching the walls. The TV to mount interface allows you to side the TV side ways to exactly position it. The 2 arms allow you to position the TV in towards the corner or out. Follow manufacturer's instructions using lag screws. I also tested my mount by hanging on it before installing TV. Be safe. Finally, I recommend this mount and would use it again. My TV weight is 75 lbs and if I remember the mount is rated ~ 150 lbs.

Greg i don't recall specifically how wide the mount is but our studs are 16 inch centers as well, so while the bracket itself isn't really centered on the wall the TV is. there is a lot of give when you actually hang the TV you can move it left and right on the wall mount to center the TV not necessarily the actual mount. just took a little measuring to make sure i had more room on the side i needed to slide the TV to for it to be centered. seems to be solid as a rock mounted in the studs.

There is a lot of leeway in regards to where you want to insert the screws into the studs. I would not have any fear or hesitation. I am very pleased with this wall mount.
