Mounting Dream TV Wall Mount MD2380 review full motion bracket for 32-65 inch TVs

Description

Impressive Versatility and Compatibility

I’ve had the opportunity to test the Mounting Dream MD2380 TV wall mount, and I have to say, it’s one of those products that makes you wonder why you didn’t get it sooner. With its universal fit, this mount accommodates TVs from 32 to 65 inches, handling weights up to 99 pounds with ease. It’s compatible with VESA patterns up to 400×400 mm, which makes it a solid option for a wide variety of televisions. I tested it on a 55-inch TV, and the fit was seamless. I appreciated that it covered 16-inch stud spacing, although if you have wider spacing, you’ll need to consider other models.

The flexibility this product offers makes it stand out. It’s a full-motion mount, meaning it can tilt, swivel, and articulate to fit your viewing needs. Whether you’re shifting seats or dealing with glare from sunlight, the ability to tilt 5° upwards and 15° downwards, combined with the swivel feature, ensures you always get the best view.

Sturdy Build and Safety

One thing I always worry about when mounting something as heavy as a TV is the safety and durability of the mount. This model is designed with six articulating arms, and the robot-welded construction adds to its sturdiness. It didn’t wobble or give me any anxiety while adjusting the TV. I even tested the mount by pulling it out to its maximum extension of 17.5 inches and retracting it back to 3.4 inches, and it held steady throughout.

The heavy-duty design really shines, especially if you’re like me and you’ve had bad experiences with flimsy mounts in the past. It feels like Mounting Dream took every precaution to make sure this product is safe and reliable, which is incredibly reassuring.

User-Friendly Installation

Installing this mount was a breeze, and that’s saying something because I’m not exactly the handiest person around. It comes with clear instructions and pre-labeled hardware, which saves a ton of time. The paper template included in the kit was a lifesaver, as it made aligning the mount much simpler. I also found the +/-3° post-installation adjustment a thoughtful touch; it allowed me to level the TV after installation without having to redo everything.

That said, I would caution against using this for drywall-only installations. The instructions were very clear that it’s not designed for that, so if you’re planning to mount on drywall, you’ll need additional support or anchors.

Positive Features

• Exceptional flexibility with full-motion capabilities: tilt, swivel, and extend.
• Strong and durable construction with six articulating arms and robot welding.
• User-friendly installation with labeled hardware and a paper template.
• Wide compatibility, fitting TVs from 32 to 65 inches and up to 99 pounds.

Areas for Improvement

• Not suitable for drywall-only installations, which limits its versatility.
• The maximum stud spacing support is 16 inches, so not ideal for all wall setups.

Competing Products

In comparison to other mounts, like the ECHOGEAR Full Motion TV Wall Mount, I found the Mounting Dream MD2380 to be more affordable while still offering similar features. The ECHOGEAR model does provide compatibility with 24-inch studs, which could be a dealbreaker for some. However, the Mounting Dream mount feels more robust, especially with its six articulating arms.

Another competitor, the PERLESMITH TV Wall Mount, is slightly less expensive but lacks the smooth articulation and tilt range of the Mounting Dream model. If you’re looking for something reliable and easy to install, the Mounting Dream MD2380 feels like the better choice.

Value for Money

For the features and sturdiness it provides, this TV mount is worth the investment. You’re getting a high-quality, heavy-duty product that offers flexibility and safety, and it doesn’t break the bank. Compared to pricier options, it delivers an excellent price-to-quality ratio. If you’re on a budget but don’t want to compromise on quality, this mount is a smart spending choice.

Overall, it’s clear that Mounting Dream has put a lot of thought into this product. From its robust build to its ease of use, it caters to anyone looking to upgrade their home entertainment setup without the hassle.
