Hi, does the back plate of this mount opens up like the one in the picture shown? The reason I ask is because the wall that I want to hang this on has an outlet on the same stud and around the same height where the mount should be installed. I'm...

It does, but its circular..and I don't think the opening is bigger than an outlet.

Hi, this looks like the one I bought, there was a small amount of adjustment. Overall quality of the mount was below average.

This consists of two pieces. One piece is the mount which attaches to the wall and is a metal bar with a shallow "U" in along the middle of it's entire length. The other piece that you see in most of the photos, is a formed metal "cap" with magnets inside. This outer cap firmly grips to the wall mount via the magnets.If you were to cut these two pieces to size, I expect they would still work, but you would have to deal with the exposed, possibly messy cut end.

No problem... Works great. You will have to get a washer from Home Depot and place it between the mount so it won't fall. Cheap fix, you will see exactly where when you get it. My wife loves it.

The mount has a screw which openes/closes 2 plastic flaps. The flaps are shown straight in the product image and not opened up. It essentially uses the pressure exerted from the opened flaps to keep it in place. It doesn't "sound" secure, but stays in very well.

Worked for me. I had the same issue. I was able to slide the mount to the side to catch both the center and one off to the side a bit, the arms allowed me to move the TV back to the center of the wall when pushed all the way in and still cover the mount in the back...in other words, I had a stud in the middle, but was able to screw the left side of the mount into that, then slide it over an mount the right side to another stud, but sill position the TV in the center of my space.

No. The mount is exactly as shown in the photo. I attached it to a block and pointed it up.

Well David...I will try. Having thought about the many ways this device can be mounted, it's no wonder they weren't included. 2by4, 4by4, wall mounted. I read that one guy mounted it on a short 2by4 then clamped it in a vice when he needed it. I can tell you that when I went to the hardwarre store to get bolts, I thought the holes were 3/8". I was off by 20 thousanths (to large). Im going to drill it to accommodate the larger bolts. Best advice (what I should have done) is to take the device to the store and try sizing it there. Now...how ar you going to mount it is the question. What kind of bolt & how long. If it is a wall you might want to use a "lag screw". But make sure to drill into a stud to get max strength. Good luck.

That's how mine was done. No problems at all with this arrangement. This was a replacement and the original was mounted that way.

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.

The spacing of the screw holes are just a bit two wide for a typical house stud, I was able to sink one screw securely and angle the other screws in such a way that I was able to make it work, but unfortunately after doing this, I had to force the screw cover on. Now that is up it really is outstanding. Notably. If you had a wider stud it would go up no problem. Without a wide stud, the template is useless and it takes a bit of finess. Hope this helps.

Claudia, This mount is a heavy-duty one that will easily support your TV. It has some per-drilled for most major TV's or a vera plate is available. This is a great deal for such a mount. I was surprised that it moved in so many different ways, was so heavy duty and was so cheap. The mount is already to mount on the wall and has all the needed hardware. Can't believe I got this mount at such a cheap price. I looked at the $200 mounts and they looked about the same ....Hummm Good Luck! happy New Year

Mine is already installed so I can't measure. The panel is mounted using screws with a paddle at the end that needs to be aligned flush with the panel to go into the wall opening. Once you begin to tighten the paddle there is a catch to prevent it from getting back to the flush position. It is the same design as a remodeling electrical outlet box you would find at your local Home Depot or Lowe's. I happen to have one of them on hand here at home and it would accommodate a wall thickness of 7/8". You could probably squeeze a full 1" if you backed that paddle off a bit more. Hope this helps.

I found the same problem. Apparently this some sort of mount that is common overseas, not in the US. I tried to find the wall plates online to no avail. Contacted Philips for help and they just told me they don't sell wall plates. Not the most helpful support in my opinion.

You have a couple of choices. There is a side mount or you can make a simple hole with a drill (just enough to allow a screw to pass). And that's it! Simple. It works great and it looks good. Had it for 6 months and still love it.

yes, it mounts the same way your electrical panel mounts........usually with a piece of plywood or something similar behind it (we are talking about inside the house i assume).

The screw holes are just about 17" on the widest one. The over all length of the mount is over 18" though and there is room enough to drill a hole in the mount to make it 18" if you wanted to go through the trouble and have a drill to go through a plate like this. Great that builders are always messing things up by trying to save a buck on a build! I would have no issue drilling a hole and putting this up at 18". It is doable. Or you could just hit one stud up real solid and use anchors for your other screws if you didn't want to put a hole next to the line of holes.
