Before buying this I read the reviews, good and bad. The bad ones pointed out things that are not problems with the mount itself, but with whether people bought a suitable mount. The parts that attach to the wall are about 18" wide for my configuration, so it's designed to be centered with respect to 16" studs. It tilts and swivels just fine, but I can't vouch for TVs not explicitly listed. If it's not going back flat against the wall, it's because it was tilted up or down, which is normal. This extends away from the wall, but the primary advantages for me are easy access to the back of the TV and that it puts the set less than an inch away from the wall. If you have it against the wall, tilting is a moot point but if you pull it away from the wall, it tilts fine. The maximum extension is about 6.5 inches with the set parallel to the wall and not tilted. If it's swiveled, the maximum to one side would depend on the size of your TV. For the correct size, be careful. Make sure that the one you are buying is spaced for specific VESA spacing for your set. These are not general purpose. Samsung's 2026 83" sets use a 400x400 configuration. Their 82-85 mount does not. The 56-75 mount does. The specs for that one say that it's good for up to 88.2 lbs. My TV is 89.3 lbs. Samsung did not rate it in 2022 for 2026 sets, so if you want to take a chance holding a set that's 1.1 lbs and eight inches more diagonally, Samsung does not officially support it. But it's what comes up on their website as "frequently bought together." Ratings are based on passing certification with actual TVs, not theoretical maximums. If you are mounting on concrete, directly between studs or on plywood attached to studs, this is suitable. Otherwise, find something that matches your specs.
