Review - Dynamic down and out wall mount

Disclaimer: I am doing this review to get a rebate of a $100. But the review given here is an unbiased feedback since I get the money anyway- positive or negative feedback.

I have a pinched nerve in my neck and i need to be very careful with the way i position my neck/head. The only place we could wall mount our tv was on top of the fireplace and it did not help with my neck.





Dynamic down and out wall mount helps providing an ergonomic solution to our problem.

Pros:
1. You can move it down or swivel it.

2. The tension can be adjusted so it is very easy to bring the TV down and lift backup.


3. There is a white plated attachment that covers the wall mount. It can be painted to your wall color so the hardware does not destroy the home decor.
4. There are several holes in the wall mount to attach to the wall - you will find a stud to drill a hole.
5. There is a wall mount template on the website that you can print out, which makes it easy to drill holes.


Cons:
1. Installation. It needs a little extra hard work to get the wall mount up. You might need help from people.
2. Adjusting the counter balance is most essential. It is set to the maximum tension from the factory.
3. Our down and out mount won't go down completely because our fireplace mantel extends 14.5" from the wall. It only goes down 23" instead of the 32" as you see on the website, this is something I did not anticipate. It is not exactly eye level but better than before.

4. It is costly. You can get a LED 55 inch TV for the cost from costco.
5. The white plastic they provided was broken out of the box, but I didn't care. They need to do a better job at quality control.
