3.0 out of 5 stars
Great buy for the price, January 11, 2012
This review is from: OllO MOUNTS 23-37" Tilt / Tilting Universal TV Wall Mount * FREE HDMI CABLE + FREE 6" TORPEDO LEVEL + FREE SCREEN CLEANING KIT * LCD. Plasma, LED (ST) (Electronics)
As others have noted, the "instructions" included with this mount are terrible (less than 1 star). However, the included 4-ft HDMI cable makes the mount itself virtually free, and the mount is simple enough that a few minutes playing around with it before doing anything permanent will probably get you to the point where you can figure out what they want you to do.
I would give the mount itself 4 stars. It's a simple design, and does the job--as long as the studs are no more than 16" apart. You simply cannot mount this in a location where the studs are even a little more separated than 16".

Very cheap production..., December 15, 2011
This review is from: OllO MOUNTS 23-37" Tilt / Tilting Universal TV Wall Mount * FREE HDMI CABLE + FREE 6" TORPEDO LEVEL + FREE SCREEN CLEANING KIT * LCD. Plasma, LED (ST) (Electronics)
I got this product yesterday and installed it in one of our rooms.
Cons:
1- It looks like a cheap production.
2- The base that attaches to the wall doesn't come as a single unit to make it sturdy, but in 4 pieces you must screw together, this makes the unit weaker and skewed.
3- The wall base is screwed on and instead of using screws and bolts it is designed for the screws to screw in the very base, this is a weak design.
4- One of the screw holes of the base had the thread not properly done and it was very difficult to re-thread it using one of the extra screws that came with the item. I was about to send it back, but the issue was I would have to wait another week for a replacement.
5- As soon as you are able to assemble the unit and attach the braces to the back of the LCD, it is best to check if it is properly leveled. I spent like half hour trying to level it because it is designed in a way that it allows one brace to be higher than the next one. The screws to attach the braces to the back of the LCD are not a perfect fit to the holes of the braces. I had to hang up and take the LCD down 3 times... an unnecessary risk for accident.
6- It only tilts 12 degrees.
Pros:
1- Price.
2- It comes with a separated magnetic level that can be used to level the LCD once it is mounted on the wall. (very cheaply made, but very useful since the unit is poorly designed)
3- All in all it is not too bad for the price, it is made of steel and it is screwed into place in 4 places holding onto 2 wall studs... so it is very unlikely that your LCD will fall. But if you can spare $30 then buy a better one.

Beware if you are using this for a 23" TV, December 11, 2011
This review is from: OllO MOUNTS 23-37" Tilt / Tilting Universal TV Wall Mount * FREE HDMI CABLE + FREE 6" TORPEDO LEVEL + FREE SCREEN CLEANING KIT * LCD. Plasma, LED (ST) (Electronics)
The description clearly states this is for a 23" - 37" TV. I purchased this for a 23" TV, however when I went to install the brackets extend above and below the TV and will show when mounted. So this is better for a TV larger than a 23".
It's hard to rate the product since I couldn't install and use it. I can rate the description and just say it's a bit misleading - purchase with caution if you are installing a 23" TV.
