Keep in mind that this mount does not collapse straight back. As is collapses left or right, it shifts approximately 10 inches right or left.

adjustability to left or right on wall bracket

does the swing arm portion of this modet have to attach to the exact center of the brakets attached to the wall ? Or is there some flexibility as to sliding this portion to the "left or right" prior to tightending on the wall bracket portion? It make sense to me that the bracket portion which mounts to the wall spans two studs, and therefore some flexibility to the right or left or dead center on the wall brackets seems reasonable.

My bracket is mounted to the wall, the arm that is attached to the wall is not centered.....it's placed, 4 " from the left side of the bracket. When I return it to its normal position, flush to the wall....it's also centered on my wall. You can move it up/ down & from side to side. If the bolts are not tightened enough, the tv will move to easily around. So make sure it swivels with some firmness, not to much. You can move it far right or left, I wanted it to also be centered on the wall itself.

You can apply a little plumbers tape to the screw, or buy loctite for the screw from a hardware store. This should keep it from coming loose.

It should not be loosening that easy. The mount does have a 5 year warranty, so you can return it to the store for repair/replacement with your receipt. If you do and encounter any issues, then please call us at 800-620-2790 while you are at the store.

Supports a variety of VESA patterns
Including 200 x 100, 200 x 200, 300 x 200, 300 x 300, 400 x 300, 400 x 400 and 600 x 400. As long as the TV is with in the weight requirements and fits one of these bolt patterns (I think you tv is going to be 400 x 400 so it should work) you can use it. I would get the specs of the TV and check it with the capabilities of the mount.

Use wall anchors to get another solid attaching point.
2 attaching points will prevent the mount from pivoting on a single mounting point

I would not recommend installing this TV mount with only one stud. It's a lot of weight to hold, so I follow the directions in the manual to complete the installation.

Depending on the size of your TV, not very much. My 55" at full tilt is about 8" off the wall which doesn't sound like much but is a nice amount of tilt UNLESS you are corner mounting the tv. If you're corner mounting it buy the more expensive one that extends further.
