Installation Process

Pros:

  • "This product was easy to install. The range of motion is perfect."
  • "The installation process was going great until I realised that the bracket provided does not align with the holes in my TV."
  • "The Amazon Basics Full Motion Articulating TV Monitor Wall Mount has become a staple in all of our short-term rentals, particularly for Amazon TVs."
  • "This was a great TV mount for my new Fire TV 50 inch."

Cons:

  • "It’s possible to install alone, but was very difficult and not recommended."
  • "This TV mount was easy enough to install but not for every do it your selfer as you need to know something about installing heavy objects to a wall."
  • "It's a bit heavy and the instructions weren't all too clear."
  • "The directions have no words. Just pictures. There are several things that could be clarified with just a few words."

Build Quality and Sturdiness

Pros:

  • "Impressed with the mount's thickness as they are steel and do not flex."
  • "Impressively sturdy, we have two after being so impressed with the first."
  • "Sturdy wall mount. No worries about it not supporting the television."
  • "This mount offers unbeatable value for smaller TVs under 55 inches."

Cons:

  • "Honestly, I hate to leave bad reviews but this was the horrible purchase probably the worst purchase I’ve ever made on Amazon in the last 11 years."
  • "This problem exists with most mounts so I was hoping an Amazon mount would be compatible with a Fire TV, but it isn't."
  • "This mount is far too heavy for televisions weighing only 10 pounds or less."
  • "The worst. Stay away. If you don’t have a stud in the middle of where u want to mount went work."

Adjustability and Range of Motion

Pros:

  • "Very easy adjustment for front and side tilt."
  • "I think the arm movement is very adequate to bring the TV away from the wall when needed."
  • "To adjust the horizontal direction or to pull the TV out further from the wall is simple and easy."
  • "The mount has a good range of motion and can almost allow you to turn the TV at a 45-degree angle."

Cons:

  • "Nothing is right at all and doesn’t feel secure once the TV is connected."
  • "Adjusting the TILT is not so easy and requires you to loosen two nuts behind the TV."
  • "Other thoughts: the horizontal adjustment is very minor."
  • "It doesn't stay level. I had a professional come and install it for $70.00 and it would be level and when it was pushed back against the wall, it wouldn't stay level any more."
