Dayton LCDART303 Articulating High Capacity TV Wall Mount Review

Dayton LCDART303 Articulating High Capacity TV Wall Mount

(More customer reviews)
I bought this wall mount for my wife's workout room. We installed our 32" LCD TV on it. I chose this product because of the swivel articulation. I mounted it directly in front of my wife's treadmill, but wanted to ability to turn the TV sideways and down, so that she could use her Wii with it, as well. This product works about right with this size TV, but any larger, and I'd have to go with a different mount.
When inspecting this mount, prior to installing, I noticed a few things.
1)The instructions are sufficient for installation, but absolutely lack details about actually using the mount. It isn't rocket science, but it'd be nice to have some general usage suggestions.
2)The mounting holes on the wall plate are just a little too wide, if you're drilling into a single 2x4 stud in the wall. I actually had to drill at a slight angle, just to make sure I was going to hit the stud. So, when I inserted the screws, the screw heads weren't flush with the wall plate.
3)The arm of the mount slides in from the top, which was relatively easy to accomplish. But, the only thing keeping it from sliding all the way through the wall plate is a small set-screw at the bottom. That's it. It's probably sufficient, but they could have included something a little beefier, just for peace of mind.
4)The thumbscrews included for securing the VESA mount to the arm didn't come with any lockwashers. So, you should either add some lockwashers or you have to really crank down on the thumbscrews to keep it tight. And, even cranking down on it won't keep the TV from sagging downwards.
For the price and basic functionality, I give this 3 stars. But, it definitely loses points on these other 4 points.

Originally I felt like the item was going to be very nice but after having it up on the wall for about 2 months the arm doesn't hold the TV straight anymore. The piece that attaches to the studs in the wall is level and in very sturdy but the extending arm is slowly leaning down and it's an LED tv...not heavy. When chatted with a customer service rep at Amazon (the seller) below is what happened.
[executive summary: nothing, no number to call, a cust serv rep that couldn't do anything, and a pending email I may never receive....oh I did lose $89 out of the deal and a 35 min chat session to boot]
=============
You are now connected to Neha from Amazon.com.
Me:the item is beginning to degrade, the arm is not supporting the tv at a level position any longer. I'd like to get a full refund vs a partial refund since the item is simply not performing over a realistic amount of time.11:06:34
Me:hello
Me:hello?
Neha:Hello, my name is Neha. I'll be happy to help you.
Neha:Hi.
Me:so when I looked at the return policy it says that only a partial refund would be given for "electronics"
Me:technically this is not an electronic and is getting worse as time passes
Me:Can I get a full refund for this item
Me:hello?
Me:are you still there?
Neha:Yes, i am reading the issue.
Neha:Before I look into your account, I need to verify that you're the account holder. Can you tell me the name on your account, your e-mail address, and your billing address, please?
Me:michael xxxxx

Me:do you have the phone number I can contact them at?
Neha:I request you to contact seller and if they are not willing to help you we will provide you a partial refund in your account.
Neha:0800 855 005
Neha:This is there number.
Neha:Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me:it says on the invoice that
Me:Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC
Me:so you are not the seller?
Me:???
Neha:Yes, you need to contact the manufacture not the seller.
Neha:The number is of the manufacture.
Me:is that international?
Neha:It is a toll free number that i have provided you.
Me:there are not enough digits for it to be a US number
Me:I assume it's 1 800 something right?
Neha:Let me check this, cause thats the number that they have provided us.
Neha:Yes. its 1800.
Neha:Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me:so the number is 1800 0800 855 005 ?
Neha:Yes.
Me:hold tight while I dial that.
Me:not a number
Neha:61 3 9581 0800
Neha:This also one of the numbers.
Me:the numbers you are supplying are not US toll free numbers
Neha:try this one.
Me:busy tone
Me:when I dial 1 800 613 9581
Me:this is why I want to deal with amazon to get a refund for a product that is NOT functioning as advertised and not a random phone number
Neha:Michael, i will request you to dial the number after some time and if you are not able to get through, we will issue a partial refund in your account.
Neha:Will that work for you?
Me:no, I'd like a full refund for starters and the number you are supplying is not the right number...so who am I going to contact?
Neha:A full refund can not be given as the item has expired the return date.
Me:so are you saying you don't stand behind this product to hold a tv on the wall for more than 2
months?
Neha:I am sorry, but i can not do anything even if i want.
Neha:However, i will forward the request for the refund in your account.
Me:why don't you put someone on that can do something if they want
Neha:I am sorry, a request has been sent and i have left a note in your account that it should be considered.
Neha:Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me:so is someone going to contact me?
Neha:A request has been sent,you will get a mail.
Neha:Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me:apparently not
Neha: Thanks for visiting Amazon.com. We hope to see you again soon!

In regular stores, it's evident from a glance at large-screen TV accessories that they're top-heavy with markup. I hate paying fifty bucks for cables when I can go online and fine the same cables for $20 or less. Likewise with the wall mounts: a hundred-dollar price tag for only about twenty bucks worth of hardware. That's why I bought this: I just wanted something that would keep my cool new TV from getting knocked over by the kids.
THE GOOD:
- The low price is a fair value for what you get.
- Some of the included hardware was not too bad.
THE BAD:
- No instructions. (They do include a drawing of what the finished thing is supposed to look like, and you can pretty much tell from that which parts are supposed to go where.)
- Description says bubble level included, but where is it? (There was a slot in the wall mount body, and some jagged pieces of clear plastic at the bottom of the box. I'm guessing that that was the remains of the level, originally built into the wall mount itself. Which could have been handy, but unnecessary if you have your own basic tools.)
- Included hardware did not fit my TV. (TV mounting screws were too long. If you're installing a wall mount, see your TV owner's manual to make sure the screws you're using are the right size. Too short, and they won't hold up the TV. Too long, and you'll destroy the screen by punching holes through it from the backside.)
- Included hardware did not fit my wall. (The big lag screws were adequate if you're mounting directly to studs. If not, the included plastic anchors for mounting on drywall looked flimsy and untrustworthy for anything over 5 pounds. If you're mounting on drywall, plan on a trip to Home Depot.)
- Construction of the mount is only adequate. (It's just a powder-coated stamping of low-gauge steel. Sony recommends a mount that holds 4x the weight of the TV; this thing is only rated at about 3x. I chose to live with the lower margin of safety because once it's installed, there's not going to be any further stress on the mount: it's not like it has to flex or be cycled through additional loads. But I found myself wishing that the steel had been a little heavier gauge.)
OVERALL: It's not pretty, it's not great, but it gets the job done, and it's cheap. Better instructions and hardware would have been nice. Grade: C-minus.

I bought this wall mounting system based on the other person's review. I'm glad that I did. UPS delivered this mount on the same day my new TV was getting delivered. With a little measuring, I had this installed in about an hour. It came with all of the hardware and fasteners that I needed. No missing pieces. No damage or scratches. It mounts to studs and it very strong. There are holes in the base plate to run wires through. They are in 2 different places so you can pick the location that fits your situation best. I was worried that this might be a 2-person job but I did everything by myself. I mounted a new 40" Samsung. It fits securely and will not fall off the wall by mistake. I have had to remove the TV 3 times due to adding components and running new wires through the wall. Loosening the security screws on the TV rails allow you to take the TV off of the wall, do your business and hang it back up again in no time. Tighten the security screws once again and you're done. You can tilt the top down if you like but I have mine flush with the wall. It looks classy and there are no visible wires. My wife thought it was magic. This is a great bargain and well made. This is the wall mounting system for you too.

VideoSecu Articulating TV Wall Mount for 22-37 VESA 200 100 LED LCD TV Monitor Full Motion Bracket Free 6 3-Axis Magnetic Bubble Level and Free HDMI Cable 3V7

I was planning to make my own TV mount because all the affordable ones were so cheaply made. That was until I stumbled on this one for $25.
Wow, was I surprised when it arrived! Very nicely double-boxed and packaged extremely well. Then the construction is quality all the way, right down to the chrome-plated nuts, screws and bushings. This mount was manufactured and boxed as if it were a high-dollar item.
It only took about 15 minutes to have my 37" LG firmly hanging on the wall. Oh, and I did it all by myself.
I can't comment on the mount-to-TV screws because my LG already provided them. And I did use my own 5/16" flat washers on 2 of the lag screws since none were included, but that's just my preference.
I highly recommend this mount, I would have been happy to pay double for such quality.
Now, as usual, many of the reviews here are misleading:
*Dismiss all reviews that talk about adjacent studs, or difficulties getting screws to grab at an angle. This thing BOLTS TO A SINGLE WALL STUD VERY EASILY! Just like what's shown on the instruction sheet, you simply screw 3 of the lag screws down the center of the mount. That's all that's needed, the other holes are just a bonus for more complicated setups. DO NOT PUT 6 OR 7 LAGS INTO A STUD! You will probably shred or weaken it. Crash goes your TV while ripping a chunk of 2x4 through your drywall.
*Dismiss the reviews that mention short lag screws. They are 2", that's a depth of almost 1 1/2" into the stud after going through 1/2" drywall and the mount. If you drilled roughly 3/16" to 1/4" diameter pilot holes and didn't over-tighten your lags, it should be fine. I've mounted mine twice now, using the same (provided) lags.
*I have no idea where this review came from that complains about an adjustment knob getting in the way. My mount doesn't have any kind of knob on it whatsoever, perhaps they are commenting on a different model. There's a tilt adjustment, but it uses a wrench and doesn't protrude anywhere. The ONLY BAD PART I'VE FOUND is that cheap stamped sheet-metal wrench to tighten the tilt mechanism. No problem, I just used my own 13mm wrench instead.
*Yes, the mount can be somewhat stiff. Like another reviewer stated, just lubricate it. I used a few drops of 3-In-1 Oil in the joints.
*And bad reviews from people who didn't research or check to see if their TV or monitor is VESA compliant. That also includes the ones who didn't check to see if the mounting plate will block off their inputs. The plate is about 8 1/2" square, it shouldn't be that hard to see if you'll have a conflict. Besides, in the description it says, "Please make sure what mount your TV needs before you place order. If you are not sure, please send us a message. We will check for you." So they are giving a nice product bad reviews because they simply didn't read the description.
*Then all the complaints of trying to hold the TV to the mount while installing the screws. If you look at the pictures on Amazon you'll see the center screw hole is a "keyhole".
1. Hold the mount to the wall and mark the 3 hole locations on the wall. On the center keyhole you want to only mark the narrow slot at the top.
2. Drill (3) 3/16" holes.
3. Install center screw into the stud, but leave a small gap between the head and the drywall, you can even use the mount to test whether the slot in the "keyhole" passes behind the head.
4. Lay your TV face-down on a safe place like a mattress or a table with a comforter over it. Place the mount over the back of the TV and install screws.
5. Position the mount so the wall mounting plate is reasonably close to the TV and as close to center as possible, and simply hang it on the wall to the center lag screw through the keyhole. That should help with the weight while you screw the top lag in, then the bottom. Don't tighten anything completely until all 3 screws are in, then make sure it's level or plumb. That's it. This is an inexpensive, very well built product that solves a simple problem. I'll be ordering more for my PC monitors and future customers ASAP.
