On dry wall installation you’ll need the ‘kit’ with the back mounting plate, that is because the screw spacing too small relative to the cut out in the wall.Suddenly price wise is no so attractive anymore.
I rate this 2 stars because lack of tech description, and personally I think that the sheet metal back plate ‘the kit’ is just an fix on a design flaw. Rating: 2 / 5

This allowed me mount a TV on the wall without a “cord cover” running from the TV to the cabinet so it’s a very clean look. Be aware, you’ll probably need a wall that is open on the back side or be installing it as part of new construction for this device to be of much use to you. If you have finished construction, I’m not sure this would work for you because it would be difficult to anchor and nearly impossible to run the cables without an open wall to access the back of this device.

I mounted a TV on the wall of my kitchen and was looking for an inexpensive way to hide the wires. This is ideal.
It’s simple to install. You just need two of these and two low voltage brackets like this: Arlington LV1-1CS Single Gang Low Voltage Mounting Bracket Device You use a stud finder to make sure you’re not looking to put this in a stud, and then use a drywall saw to cut the hole. Repeat to put the one down below. (Use a level to ensure they’re straight.) Insert the low voltage mounting bracket in both the upper and lower and then put the plate on the upper one. Start fishing cables through the wall. (It’s easier to leave the plate off the lower one until you fish all the wires out of the wall first.)
Through a one-gang plate, I have an HDMI cable, a VGA cable, a set of composite cables with sound, a 1/8″ headphone jack cable, and a network cable. It’s tight, but everything fits.
Order these plates. You won’t be disappointed. Rating: 5 / 5

Works great. One could easily run a HDMI, speaker wire and TV power cord through this. Exactly what I was looking for for a clean wall mounted HDTV installation.

This product is of decent quality. It doesn’t take paint well unless you lightly sand it first. Also, for mounting, it requires the special drywall bracket. It should be sold as a kit IMO. Rating: 4 / 5
