Summary: THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ALL WRONG... WARNING....
Review: I am not writing to tell you that the build quality of this item is bad... it's not. I like the mount and I believe the overall construction of it is solid...

It is the instructions I am warning you about. There are two sets... One on the Instruction Sheet. The other is on a Mounting Template that you stick on the wall... THE MOUNTING TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS ARE WRONG... PERIOD... They tell you to drill the holes with a 3/8" drill bit for a 3/8" screw... Anyone can tell you that you drill a smaller pilot hole for a screw (it ruined my build in cabinetry and I had to rebuild the entire frame to make this thing work.

The 3/8" pilot hole is inconsistent with the Written instructions that tell you to drill a 1/4" pilot... Hard to ratchet in place but does work.

Next... To find the right screws for your plasma (11 sets are provided) you will need to go to the omnimount web site for specs... But the details about what "screw" to use on the web site (and the corresponding letter "code) on the written instructions that came with the unit are completely contradictory (Even their tech support admitted the problem with the inconsistent coding of the parts).

IF YOU BUY THIS PRODUCT - USE COMMON SENSE WHEN INSTALLING.. FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS... AND BEST OF LUCK...
