Pros & Cons
Pros
The arlington tv508-1 low profile tv box for shallow walls is a great product. It fit just right in my wall (1/2” drywall on 1” furring strips over concrete block) it's literally what holds it against the front of the drywall. Easy to install though t... Read More
Works as advertised. Not super expensive. Would highly recommend.
Easy to install with very complete instructions. Had absolutely zero problems installing this. Easy to follow instructions.
Cons
Top looks great, bottom looks like a half-finished hack job. The only dimension that comes close to description is the recessed cable area next to the duplex outlet.
Highlights
Quality
A excellent product (everything you need less wiring is within) & approach to bring power & wiring to you tv system.
Install was easy and product is of high quality — no issues at all.
Because it is recessed, all cables and plugs are tucked in it below the wall surface allowing the tv to be as flat to the wall as possible.
I used a multi-tool with a 270* blade and both holes took <10mins.
Price
It is a cheap product in price or material.
It serves its purpose, for a reasonable price.
Try to save a few $ and you gain a few speed bumps on the install, but it works with no issues.
Shipping
Contacted arlington via email on a monday night, and got a phone call back the next day.
Update - the seller sent me a replacement the next day and it is perfect!
Packaging/appearance
Despite being a shallow box, the outlet side box had plenty of room, which made things easy.
No wall box required what makes it very clean and fast to install.
Unfortunately, my cable box came with a large wall wart power supply.
Didn't realize the wall i was mounting the tv on was shallow and the standard box didn't fit.
Competitiveness
This solution was the only alternative i found but that lack of competition sometimes comes with a lack of innovation.
I have another kit that has tiny holes by comparison.

I really like the design and how flush this ends up being

If you’re working on a tv above a dry walled fireplace area there’s a good chance it’s block that’s been furred out with 2x2 which makes regular boxes impossible or very difficult

The fit and finish is my main gripe other than that it suits the bill
