We bought this and mounted our 52" Samsung and we are having a hard time with articulation, it seems really stiff. Will this loosen with use?

You can loosen the nuts just a bit where the arms mount on the back of the tv and the wall, this will make the arms move much better. Hope this helps!

Be careful, you don't want it falling and hurting someone. On 4 of 4 Tv's i mounted i hand to go to the local home store and buy longer screws. Make sure how long you need and get the screws. I also got some washers so it will be sturdier and i can fine tune the depth. Also make sure it's not easy to long. Hope it helps.

That thing isn't going anywhere unless someone plows into it directly, pushing on the top of the TV, in an attempt to topple it over. Even then, might be difficult. It's really stable. Note that my assumptions are 1) my configuration sits on carpet and 2) I'm using a 42 inch flat screen. The top-heavy weight increase of a 50 inch flat screen may cause a non-negligible difference. I don't know. But the construction seems really good, and right now I'm confident about its stability.

The only thing I took apart were the (2) long bolts that attach the arms to the wall bracket.I then bolted the wall brackets to the wall, then re attach the arms to the wall bracket. Ours seemed a little stiff until we mounted the TV to it.You will need 2 people to re attch the arms to the wall bracket.

My husband mounted his 42 inch TV using this mount. It was the same model sold at best buy, so I would say yes. We haven't had a problem yet and its been 9 months. We are happy with our purchase.

Not sure of your particular TV but the bracket does not hold our 52" screen without having to place a wedge in the bracket. When attached, the screen tilted forward to the ground. The bracket itself was sturdy and secure to the wall, but when the TV was mounted you could not tighten the bolts enough for the TV not to fall forward.

The 47" Philips I bought this mount for weighs around 100 pounds - that's no problem. The mount is rated for 165. As long as you hit both studs on center and snug all four lags up I don't see how you could have an issue with sagging.

It takes a the wrench that is supplied, although you can tighten the fastener enough that makes it "stiff" we're you can adjust the TV where you want it and it will stay. Hope that helps.

I have a 50 inch led tv so I didn't want to take a chance of having it crash down. So I wall mounted mine but I've put a lot of weight on it and it didn't even budge. I would suggest to wall mount your tv just to be safe though

The bracket that screws to the tv can slide up or down a small amount which will allow the tv to tilt downward. Unfortunately the tilt is not great. I did not have to loosen anything.

I Would NOT recommend it. I have a 55" slim and I'm not feeling too confident in the hardware. The bracket turns and swivels with tightness. Your TV is heavy and wider. I'd pay a little more for the better quality.

We have a 42 inch on ours and it seems pretty sturdy. I don't think I would recommend going above the recommendations especially since it's a wall mount.

I have the 50" model. It doesn't tilt up and down, but it slightly twists from left and right. Not much though. Maybe mine's just not screwed in all the way. :)

I know exactly what your talking about. Mine kinda did the same thing. Try rotating the knuckle the full 180 degress a few times and it should loosen a little bit. I think it will always feel a little stiff.

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

Not sure about your specific TV. Our experience was that we could not tighten the bracket enough for the weight of our TV and it tilted forward. Since it did mount to the wall securely we ended up putting a shim to keep the TV from tilting. Your experience may be different. Good luck.

this mount is not strong enough to hold my TV which is 75 inches. If you have a smaller TV, I would yes recommend it.I ordered 2 set but I was unable to use them, let me know if you want to buy one from me... I would give you a good deal. Let me know
