5 Stars Great Stand
We lost the stand for our 43″ Pioneer Pro HD Plasma, so we decided to give this a try. Not only did it arrive in just 1 day, it was perfect for our tv. The assembly was very easy and the instructions were very clear. All parts were clearly marked. The tv is over 80lbs and this stand supports it perfectly and is very stable. We also left the wall mount plate on the back of the tv and it attached to this stand perfectly, shortening the assembly steps. The only complaint is that it is 38lbs, which really adds to the overall weight of a plasma tv (but probably necessary to support it properly!). Would highly recommend this as a replacement stand, or for a large flat screen that did not come with one. Very satisfied with this product and the seller.

5 Stars Great Product
This tabletop stand is great. Nice, modern appearance and very sturdy with an adjustable height. My husband assembled it in no time. It fit our 32 inch Sony Bravia perfectly!

4 Stars Large TV Table Mount
TV table mount works for my 32″ flat screen but it is very large. It is not the type of stand that normally comes with a flat screen TV. It serves my purposes so if you have a flat screen that needs a stand, it works nicely.

5 Stars Very sturdy stand that does the job I needed for some customization
I needed a way to mount a Sony 40″ Z series LCD in my TV cabinet that used to house a 36″ CRT. The problem with using the provided TV stand was that it protruded several inches in front of the panel for balance, which meant the TV had to be pushed back into the cabinet restricting the viewing angle from the sides more than I would like.

So, I found this stand from Premier Mounts, and mounted the panel facing out the “back” of the stand, and then secured the base with some brackets to my TV cabinet – works great as I now have the TV flush with the front of the cabinet (inset just enough for the doors to close) and have full viewing ability.

While another reviewer commented on not having the needed screws, I was impressed with the large variety of mounting screws that were provded in the kit – found some that met my needs for the Sony 40Z4100 fine. There are a couple of horizontal brackets that I am not sure are needed I did have to cut off a portion of one side of the lower mounting arm as it interfered with the input panel on the back of the TV, but this does not reduce the structral strength in any way.

The stand is made of very good quality, heavivy duty materials and if for some reason you have misplaced your original table stand this would make an ideal replacement – or a great option for needs like mine above

5 Stars Flat Screen TV Tabletop Mount
This item arrived earlier than expected. It was easy to put together as the instructions were quite clear and easy to follow. The only negative comment I have is that if you have a 32″ television like I have (Samsung LN32B550) one of the horizontal arms can block the rear input/output terminals. Fortunately I have a hacksaw and was able to trim the offending arm. So if you are thinking of purchasing this be aware of this. Otherwise it is very sturdy and works well. And it looks good too.

4 Stars too many fasteners
This was exactly what I needed in the price range I was willing to pay. The quality and appearance(although you can’t see the mount) are excellent. My only real objections are the instructions and the amount of fasteners included. I don’t feel I really needed a wall mount for “dummies”, but the after trying to sort out all the spacers and fasteners, I began to feel like one.I probably used only 6 of 24 items. In defense of the manufacturer, they appear to appeal to a large range of TV makes & models resulting in to many details. The hardware is prepacked in plastic strip pockets and lettered, so the attempt to simplify is evident. Bottom line, the TV is up and all is working well. I would recommend to a friend.

5 Stars Great product, cheap price
I didn’t want to spend $100 on a mount for a $400 LCD, so this kit hit the mark. The low price is no reflection on quality, since this item locked right into my television with minimal effort and was easy to secure to the wall with all the provided hardware. Quality on the cheap…I love Amazon.com!

5 Stars Completely satisfied
This is an excellent mount. We wanted to mount our 46″ TV inside of a cabinet where we had about 8″ of depth to work with. This was the shallowest mount that I could find. When you fold it up, it’s about 2″ deep, not including the adapter plate which adds another inch or so. It’s very solidly built but in spite of it’s heavy-duty construction, it is effortless to pull out and swivel (it can sometimes be a little tougher to pop back into the fully-closed position). The installation instructions were thorough and it comes with tons of hardware to work with a variety of sets. You can’t go wrong with this mount.

4 Stars Sturdy, but BIG!!!
Pros

1) Easy to Install

2) Sturdy

3) Articulates nicely (swivel and vertical tilt down) and no fear that TV will fall

4) Piano black finish looks nice

5) Cable Management

Cons

1) Sits farther out from the wall than described. Your TV model may sit even farther out

2) mounting “guts” still visible despite the design

3) cable management designed for in-wall cabling.

Summary – For those looking for a heavy duty articulating mount, this is for you. Price is great from Amazon.

Details

This is a very sturdy mount and installation was pretty easy – I would recommend a helper to hold it, because it’s pretty heavy. Unfortunately, the depth of the product means that your TV will sit more than 4+ inches off the wall, despite the fact that the description says only 2.5. If you have to use the larger mounting brackets, there’s a 6 inch gap between the TV and the wall.

I was looking for a mount that would be somewhat close to the wall and still swivel out for viewing in a different part of the room. I thought this would be good, since the description said it’d only be approx 2 inches off the wall and because of the box that encloses all of the mounting hardware. However, keep in mind that with a 4-6″ gap behind your TV, the vertical brackets and everything is still viewable.

I ended up returning it and simply buying a Peerless flush mount without the articulating arm.

3 Stars Sturdy but has its problems.
Must agree this is a very sturdy little mount, but that pivot arm is just too stiff. Feels like I would yank the TV off the attachment bracket soon. Kind of lame they only include 4 screws for attaching the TV(6 mount points) and those plastic spacers are way too cheesy. If you have a LG DU-42PX12X TV I would suggest a trip to the hardware store.

Now since this mount is for large screens you could expect the wall bracket to spawn more then one stud section. I can see some folks want a tiny mount, but in my case I could care less(recessed into a cabinet). I wanted to have my TV mounted center on one stud, so I ended up first mounting a 1″ solid wood plank across 3 studs and then attaching the mount to that.

5 Stars Perfect Mount for my 42 Plasma
The Peerless SP850 UNLP-GB does everything you want….up, down, left side, right side and various degrees of tilt. The installation instructions were very easy to follow and performed, all the necessary bolts, nuts and screws were in the package….idiot proof installation. In addition, the glossy black finish perfectly matched the finish of my new TH-42PZ85U Panasonic 42″ Plasma TV. So needless to say, this is the perfect mount for any large Plasma or LCD

4 Stars Great Quality–Sturdy–Pay for what you get
I bought this based off my dad’s recommendation…he installs Peerless brand mounts in many government buildings. I am please with how solid and sturdy the product is–I don’t feel that my TV is going anywhere or falling off anywhere. I have a 52″ television and I don’t feel comfortable grabbing the sides and just pulling in and out on the tv to make it come from the wall. The pivot arms seem a little stiff so I sometimes grab behind the television and pull the arms in when putting the TV away—it seems to be easier. Not sure if any type of grease or anything would make it slide easier or if its because of the size of my TV. Definitely happy with the stand and will be another.

4 Stars Tilting Wall Mount, 40″ Sony LCD
The wall mount works well and is easy to install. It supports my 40″ TV easily with the mount fastened to two wood wall studs. It was less expensive than similar alternatives, which is good, but all of the available mounts seem to be overpriced so I didn’t quite “love” this product.

5 Stars Skeptic
I had been considering mounting a flat panel above my fireplace and was skeptical about doing so because of heat. I only had thirty five inches of available height above the fireplace mantle to work with, width not an issue. I thought a 42″ flat panel was my only option, therefore I purchased this mount. After receiving the mount, I was pleasantly surprised that the width of the mount would go to 400mm or 15.75″. The mount has a wieght rating of 100lbs, therefore I could mount a 47″ flat panel well under 100lbs. I purchased the mount before aquiring a flat panel. It came with all the hardware and in a timely fashion. The price was considerably less than other sites and stores. Very pleased with purchase.

4 Stars Quality and easy to install, but not perfect
The Sanus MT25-B1 is a tilting wall mount for smaller-size flat panel televisions. It mounts to a single stud, so there is a weight limit. You mount a bracket to the wall and 2 brackets to the back of the TV. It comes with excellent instructions and goes up very easily. The one difficult thing was leveling the TV. This is done by making small adjustments to the brackets on the back of the TV. You have to hang the TV, take it off and loosen the 2 screws on one bracket, move the bracket slightly up or down, tighten the screws, hang it again and re-check the level. I had to go through this cycle at least 6-8 times until I got it level. Unlike their mounts for large-size displays which have small screws you can adjust while the TV is already hung, this is a pain to adjust. Once done, it stays level and works just great.

5 Stars Sanus MT-25-B1 Tilting Flat Panel Mount…..Great
Bought the Sanus Tilting Flat Panel mount for my Sony 26″ LCD Tv…..worked great….easy to install….found one stud in wall and used

lags that were supplied to that stud, and used toggle bolts in other side of the bracket. Needed to drill two holes in bracket for lags; so I could extend bracket over farther. Easy modification, worked great. Fishing the coxial cable thru wall was a harder job than the bracket. All said n done, I,m quite well pleased; and TV works great too.

5 Stars sanus wall mount is perfect
It is easy to install and very capable of holding any medium size TV.The mounting plate allows you to span two wall studs.
