To adjust the tilt is there a thumb screw to loosen and then tighten, or is the tilt by an internal ratchet (which seems more likely to wear out)?

No screw to loosen or tighten; tilt adjusted by an internal ratchet which as you mentioned would appear to wear out in time. Since I have had my fan running nonstop for almost 3 days and I've been using it very often in the last month, I have not needed to adjust the tilt often, just once or twice. I would imagine if I were tilting it up then down and up again, sooner or later the ratcheting device or whatever it is would loosen and I'll be left with a downward tilting fan.

There's no thumb screw to lock the position. The tilt is, as you say, via a ratchet type click mechanism. There is a large phillips head screw and nut that can adjust tension on the tilt, but it won't lock it in position. I found it best at a moderately firm tightness, that allows the head to easily tilt without sagging.

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

Edit: Sorry, I bought this unit for an employee - it's not the one I have. I don't know if it tilts.

the mounting plate is attached to the arm by means of a knob that is connected to the mounting plate which has ribs in it. to tilt just loosen the knob and tilt TV to the desired position and then retighten the knob. hope this helhelps.

It tilts. Pretty sure the review saying it doesn't forgot about the tilt lock. Just pull the height adjustment lever out and it unlocks and tilts.

once you have it set, pivot is tightened with a bolt (wrench provided), you make it as tight as you want. Sloppy to no movement. I have mine set to very hard to move so I can still adjust it some without loosening bolt. To raise or lower some (minor adjustment) there is a screw at top, and the left right slider bar is with a knob but still no movement if wanted

It will only tilt slightly. The tilt is limited by the "ball joint" connection.

Yes it has two locking adjusting bolts with handles that let you adjust the tilt. Only thing that could be improved is the two small themb screws that attach the monitor when slid into the bracket. they are very easy to drop. Should be wing tipped screws that are attached so they couldn't get lost.

The tilt can be adjusted after mounting. There are set screws on either side of the top brackets. You'll need a long screwdriver, tiny hands and a flashlight though

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please) It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

Been a while since I installed this mount, but as I recall there is no up/down adjustment once it is installed.

Whatever you adjust the angle to. There is an adjustable hinge on the mounting stem that tightens/locks when you tighten the Phillips head bolt.
