how do I attach the TV to the plate?

Sandra, the plate is sent as a "base" for the TV. It is designed so that YOU, as the end-user, attach a wooden platform to this base (that is why the holes are in this design) and you attach the TV to the wood, not the steel plate. By doing this, they are able to allow you to attach the size platform that will best accommodate your specific TV. In our case, I installed the TV into a closet in a guest room. This allows us to push the platform all the way in, and still shut the bi-fold door of the closet. It was imperative in this instance that the platform not interfere with the door closing. Because there are so many tv's out there, with so many different bases, I can't tell you how you would attach the TV to the wood base......but with ours, I drilled holes through the plastic, oval stand on the TV, and simply used a couple wood screws from the top of the plastic stand into the wood base. If you have more specific questions, I would be happy to answer. But as far as the unit itself, I am thoroughly impressed at how well it works. Rarely these days will you find a product that works as well as advertised..... This one does. It's strong, the glides are smooth, and it rotates with very little effort.

I too had a VESA 200 X200 swivel mount bracket already on my bedroom wall. Went from 37 inch to 47 inch TV. Measured several times between holes on adapter plates. Long story short, could never get ALL the holes to line up just right to accommodate screws for my LG tv. Even with my neighbor helping, wound up scratching new tv. In the end, I bought a quality tv stand with shelves. Was able to screw hanger hooks into each hole and simply hang it on rack. Adapter plates may work for you. Worth a try and you can always return it. Got a prompt refund on mine. Good luck.

your TV should have mounting bolts on the back of it unscrew them and just screw the new ones provided with the kit, also you might need to use the old bolts from your TV or buy new ones because the bolts might be to short

There are multiple positions for the mount brackets to be placed behind the TV. If the brackets are showing behind the TV from the bottom, you might want to align the brackets with the TV bolt holes at a higher position.

Look on the back of the TV you plan to purchase. In the center of the rear of the TV there should be 4 threaded holes. The mounting plate on the arm will except either a 100mm horizontally x 100mm vertically bolt pattern or a 75mm x75mm. I do not know if all small TV's have this type of mounting.

The kit is setup to attach the TV to the stand, and then the stand to the wall. I was more worried about the TV tipping, so I just attached to the wall directly into a stud. The stand that I have is compressed wood, so I did not feel like that would hold the screws very well.

Put the anchor in the wall. Remove the white plastic plate from the black plastic unit. Screw the black plastic plate into the anchor. Snap white plastic into black plastic plate

I used a 1/4-20 machine screw through the hole to mount the plate to a monitor. It works just fine.

In the vents on the upper left. The mounting device does not work with every tv. It also depends on the configurations of the tv.I hope this helps.

You need a smooth surface near the edge of the TV to adhere the mount to. The "tape" on the mount is about 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches.

Bracket is in two parts... one screws to the wall the other to the TV. Once done simply set/hang the TV on the wall mount.

The plate is supposed to be able to tilt the tv out, if that is what you are calling play. You can choose to tilt or just leave the tv level. But the tv shouldn't "fall" on its own.

Actually, what you'll want to do is get a 3 gang low voltage bracket or box from your local hardware store. The bracket will hold onto the drywall and give you something solid for this wall plate to screw into.

I had to add a board to the tray that the TV sits on so it would have a larger surface area. I used all 8 screws on the bottom rails and some of my own screws to attach the board. Did not use the bolts. The TV is not attached to the board but is still very stable. The sliding tray works great.

No, if you do that mount won't hang on TV stand. Go Home Depot or Lowe's and see if they have pre-drilled strip metal dont spend over $10. She may want to carry TV plate with her. Otherwise order new universal TV plate from Amazon($15-20 bucks).

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 should see screw holes on your TV where the frame will attach. Most likely, I would assume the manufacturer wouldn't have obstructed this.
