I like this mount. I mounted a 63" Samsumg PN63B550 plasma TV with this mount. The TV hangs on the wall and is very sturdy (with my modifications). It's thin and has a good concept. But you need to go to extra lengths to make it work.
The ClickStand feature is a good feature. The mount works by hooking the vertical bars (screwed into the TV) on the top of the crossbar and then having pieces with a spring in it inside the vertical bars that will hook and lock onto the bottom the crossbar. The piece with the spring has a string that hangs down so you can unlock the mount from the bottom of the crossbar. When the piece is unlocked, you can lean the TV bottom away from the wall and put up the hard plastic ClickStands on the bottom hold it there. My TV is heavy (112 lbs w/o stand) so the ClickStands come in handy. The string inside the ClickStand is adjustable (though it is easy to miss) so, by adjusting the string before mounting, it can hang down such that it is accessible even when my big 63" TV is locked in.
The leveling screws can be accessed from underneath when the ClickStands are used and the TV is already mounted. They are a handy feature so you can level the TV exactly right, even when its already mounted. A quarter-turn makes a big difference and can get everything exactly right.
The included wood screws are junk. You can try to use them but, even with pilot holes, they strip and even break easily. (I didn't try to non-wood hardware.) So, go to a hardware store and get something more serious.
The location of the mounting holes is annoying. Notice that there is a collection of holes on the left side and on the right side but not in the middle or at the far left or far right end. In my case, I needed to mount the center of the TV on a stud because, well, that's where the stud is! There was no way, no how that it could be mounted on 2 studs without the TV being totally off-center and hanging mostly on two screws. So, I took the mount to my friend's house and he used a drill press to put holes in the center and in the far left and far right. So, I converted this 2-stud mount into a 3-stud mount and it is now very, very sturdy.
The collection of bolts and spacers for connecting your TV to the vertical bars consists of four very short bolts and a bunch of fairly long bolts. Hello, what about some of medium length? Since I'd already messed with the thing so much, I settled for the long bolts such that my TV is about one full inch from the wall. I'm happy with this but, if you really want low profile, you might need to buy some medium-length from a hardware store.
The springs are a little wimpy but functional. It'd be nice if the springs were a little stronger.
You can adjust the height of the TV once it is mounted but you really only have 2 to 3 inches of adjustment with a big TV. The bottom two bolts connect to the TV near the bottom of the vertical bars and the top two bolts connect to the vertical bars up near the crossbar. Notice that there is only about 3 inches up there: with a big TV, you'll only have the choice of 2 - 4 holes on the bottom such that the top bolts will still be able to connect to the top of the vertical bar. So, make sure to mount the crossbar pretty close to put your TV where you want it because you don't have much flexibility after the fact.
Despite these warts, I'd buy the mount again (while being prepared to make modifications to it).
