Works great, but had to buy screws separately
Customer Rating
3.0
I bought this wall mount on sale along with a new 60" LG 60UJ7700, as this is the mount Best Buy specifically recommends for that TV. I looked around to compare prices, and Best Buy's sale price was literally the best buy, so I ordered it at the same time as the TV. The bracket is easy enough to mount yourself with the right tools (stud finder, power drill, socket wrench, etc). Great.
BUT, it turns out that the mounting screws shipped with the bracket are not what you need for the particular TV I ordered, so whatever TV you're buying, double check if it comes with its own mounting screws, and/or if the screws that come with this bracket will work for your TV! The LG 60UJ7700 TVs need 4 x M6-1 20mm long screws, but the M6-1 screws that ship with the bracket have lengths of either 10mm (maybe 12?), and 35mm, so neither of those will work! I had to run out to Home Depot and scour through their metric screw drawers to find some that were the right diameter, thread pitch, and length to get the job done right. Best Buy, why do you tell customers to get this wall mount if it doesn't come with the right screws for this TV?
Anyway, our new TV is up now and everything seems to work ok. The latch mechanism works well to hold it in place and let it slide horizontally to get it centered (the only degree of freedom for moving/rotating the TV once it's mounted, other than the slight forward/backward tilt range), but once everything is set up against the wall, there's really not much room to do anything else behind it. So, do yourself a favor and plug in the TV end of all your cords before putting it on the bracket, because you won't be able to reach the ports after its up. And good luck if/when you need to get it off the wall again -- my wife rigged up a bent hanger to reach the spring loaded release hooks when we realized we had to tighten the set screws *before* putting it on the wall.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am having Best Buy mount a new Samsung 50" TV using this bracket. Will I be able to disconnect and reconnect the cable to the TV after installation. Also, how difficult will it be to use the USB / HDMI receptacles.
I have a 60" TV mounted with this bracket, and it's not very easy to reach the ports when its mounted on the wall, so we plugged everything in first before mounting it. A 50" TV might not be as bad though.
