REVIEW – For years I have mounted several of my computer monitors on wall mounts, but my TVs have remained on stands. Now I am moving into a new home and my plan is to have just about every TV mounted on a wall. I also want to be able to tilt and swivel the TVs for the best viewing angles. This Atumtek TV Mount could be exactly what I need.

Performance
This mount looks and feels well built. Installation is quite easy for the average DIYer. The following are some photos of my installation and from various angles to show the possible movement of the mount. (The photos show the piece of wood that I had to first mount to my wall. My house is older and some of the walls are plaster. I mounted the piece of wood to the studs which I found out are not equally spaced so the wood is not centered):
This mount works really well and allows viewing from just about every angle in my room. It is sturdy and as shown above, the TV mounting brackets are very secure once locked in place by the 2 screws.
Here is my TV mounted. Ignore the wires since I am still working on adding my streaming boxes, etc.
What I like
- The build quality
- The sleek look
- The great range of motion
- The built-in Bubble level
- The complete assortment of hardware that is included
What I’d change
- I cannot think of anything at the moment. It does what it is supposed to do
