However, that means I can now review it. I just put it up yesterday, to mount an old 40" TV in the room we have my father in law in.
It's not as big as some articulated mounts. 18" wide, and the side to side swing is maybe 20" extreme to extreme. The tilt is pretty minimal, maybe horizontal to 5° down, and you need to get in to tighten it, which can be a tad cramped. Tightening the screws to fix the TV in the lower position on the arm (there's two sets of hooks and screws) looks nearly impossible; fortunately, I was using the higher position.
That said, it's solid, and comes with everything you could possibly need for your specific wall and television, including a level and a handy cardstock template for marking out the drill points.
The instructions have tiny pictures that can be a bit hard to make out, but other than where a couple of washers are supposed to go, it's all pretty intuitive.
There are better arms out there, but for a fraction of the price, this is a pretty great solution of you're looking for something inexpensive and good enough.

I bought one two weeks ago too, but haven't gotten around to mounting it yet! Seems like a decent enough deal for the price!
There are 75" TVs with 400x600. Not sure if that's the case for 65". 60" is, I think, always going to be 400x400.

Thanks for the review. Got mine 2 weeks ago too but haven't gotten around to installing it.
Did you replace the bolts and screws? Amazon reviews mentioned poor quality and stripping.
Sounds like this is recurring promo price.

I did not. I used the stud bolts, which are fairly solid - I pinged them along the shaft to confirm the alloy was even, and did a spot test for composition with rare earth magnets (because that's how I traced my studs, and I figured why not) but I didn't do anything more rigorous. I went a little narrower than specified with my pilot drill bits, and used a hammer wrench with the socket, rather than the phillips-head screw bit. There was no deformation. If I had been putting up a larger screen, I might have considered heavier bolts, but these appear to be fine. The Vesa screws are pretty much identical to the ones in a typical $10 universal TV mount screw kit.

Applying the discount code OJV8N5CA generates "The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase".
It appears that this "topstone" vendor may be kind of shady. Looking further, it seems Everstone may also be problematic; they get a D as their Fakespot Company Review Grade. The search continues.
I would not use these on older lcd tv. Anything newer is perfectly fine.
