I looked on the Rocketfish site. It looks like it uses 2 lag bolts. While they are strong, they are only as good as the wood into which they are screwed. With the six screws on the old style mount, there is some additional redundancy.

Yup... I'm keeping an eye on the mount to kame sure that it is securely on the wall everytime we stop...

It's a rocketfish.

Could not find the exact model number written on it, but It's identical to the RF-TVMFM01 (https://www.rocketfishproducts.com/pdp/RF-TVMFM01/1065552)

Any information on the mount (brand, at least)? It looks like a big improvement over the one in our 179.

Angle seems to be about 15 degres. Not that much, but a BIG improvement over 0 degres.

Comparing both, one is almost unwatchable the other is near perfect on the couch.

If I am not mistaken the Insignia brand is a Chinese off brand sold at Best Buy. They are junk.

I don't know which is worst... Insigna or Jensen... I guess that we'll have to find our the hard way... In any case, the wall mount is at least what people have been asking for for quite a long time. I'll do a complete review of the new mount and Television. when I have it at home.

Insignia is a cheap brand of TV. The one I had in the garage lasted a year, just past warranty. I've never had a TV wear out that quick. It's apparently a cost cutting move.
