5 Stars works greqt
super sturdy, very high quality. there was one wierd insert page of the instructions that i believe were for a different model by Sanus, because in the box i got, that step appeared to have already been done. Holds our 52″ samsung perfectly, with enough range of motion to swivel it so we can watch it from the kitchen, which was exactly what we were looking for.

5 Stars Perfect for what I needed
I wanted to use this in conjunction with an enclosing tv cabinet so needed a mount for my 50″ plasma tv that was sturdy and would colapse close to the wall. As it was going onto a wall near a corner it needed to also have a lot of flexibility with angling. This mount works perfectly. It is only about four inches from the wall to the back of the tv and allows the mount and tv to colapse iside the 9 inch depth cabinet. It has great flexibility with angling and comes out of the cabinet far enough that the cabinet does not restrict the angling of the tv. It is very steady with no sag even fully extended. There have been a few that complained about the lag bolts and instructions but I thought instalation was simple and straight forward. I put a little soap on the lag bolts to reduce friction and they went in easily with no problems. I did a lot of online research before I bought this mount and I have no regrets and would definitely choose this one again in a heart beat. If there is a better mount out there for what I wanted, I could not find it.

5 Stars Fantastic mount
I bought this mount after a couple of hours of Internet research. It came down to a choice between this one (Sanus VMDD26) and one from monoprice.com, which costs significantly less. I just wasn’t convinced that that the monoprice mount would have the same quality and ease of movement as the Sanus, so I went with the Sanus mount. And wow! I’m blown away by its quality and durability. It’s heavy, well-built and has a great shiny black finish.

I hung a Panasonic 50PZ85U (50″ plasma) which weighs just over 100 lbs. Repositioning it is so easy because each of the joints on the mount allow the TV to smoothly glide as you push/pull it. I don’t see any sag in the unit at all and all the joints are tight (there isn’t any “play”).

The installation was simple (took less than 90 minutes), although you’ll probably need at least two people to finally hang the TV on the wall. The mount that is attached to the TV is probably 40-50 lbs and when you add in the weight of the TV, it’s too much/dangerous for just one person to deal with.

I wasn’t sure how it would look wall mounted, but I absolutely love the look now. Having the TV “floating” in the corner is such a cool and clean look, and it frees up the top of the stand for more components.

I don’t know how the monoprice.com mount performs, but I know I got a great mount from Sanus. I highly recommend it.

4 Stars Solid Performance
Very solid product. Instruction for self installation were a bit confusing so take your time. It is hold a 52 inch sony TV. The Articulating features are great.
