5 Stars Perfect wall mount for my 32 inch flatsreen
This wall mount is great. It is constructed very well and was easy to install. It looks clean and discreet on the wall and provides virtually 180 degree swivel for my 32 inch TV. It came with all needed hardware to mount to the wall including heavy duty wall anchors for the wall screws that did not hit a wall stud. The only complication was that I had to get the correct bolts for mounting the TV to the mount itself (the product did come with two different size bolts for this purpose but neither was the right size to mount the TV to the bracket). I found the correct bolts very easily at my local hardware store.

After hanging the TV (32 inch BestBuy Insignia – Approx 30 lb. with mounting holes 200 X 200) I am very confident my TV is secure and safe. In addition, the product is very well priced. Local stores wanted $100-$150 for similar mounts. WOW!

5 Stars Great quality and price
Very sturdy design, great price. Easily mounted into brick wall. Received it 4 days after ordering. Used with a 26 inch TV.

4 Stars Good product but needs better screws!
Very compact product. When it arrived I thought it was a DVD player that I had ordered. The packaging was small. We bought it for our 32 inch lcd tv. It fits the television perfect and is a strong product. Very Sturdy(not flimsy at all). The only complaint that I have is with the screws. The screws were very short and did not have enough length to connect the mount to the TV. Thank God my husband is a carpenter because he was able to use some other longer screws. He also complained that the walls had to be double studded or you would have to use a wood plate to mount the bracket to the wall. He was able to mount one side to a stud but he had to use the cheap anchors for the other side. However, the mount had excellent stability and the TV is doing just great mounted on the wall!Reasonable Product, as long as you can make minor modifications, this is a good deal!

5 Stars Great Solution For Our Large TV
We are very pleased with this product. Using the wall mount allowed us to put our tv on a wall that we otherwise would have needed to get a piece of furniture that went in a corner and would have been taller than a partial wall that would have shown the back of the furniture. It sits nicely against the wall and the articulating arm works smoothly. Great price, too!

2 Stars to big
This product was very heavy and bulky we only wanted it for a smaller tv it would proberbly work ok for large tvs but did not work for us and we returned it

Do not pick the mount by the screen size of your TV. Will This mount Fit my Plasma TV? First check the weight of your TV. It must be less than 135 lbs. Second, look at the back panel of your TV. TheTV has mounting holes on the back of the screen, measure the vertical and horizontal distance between the 2 holes for the wall mount. If the vertical distance is within 2.95 – 18.9 inch, horizontal distance within 30.5 inch, then this bracket will fit. If you currently have a stand attached to your LCD TV this is usually removed prior to fitting the wall mount. Third, the width of your TV should be 32″ or above. Otherwise the mount is too wide to hide behind your TV. We have a smaller tilt mount for 23″ – 37″ TV in our Amazon store. Only the mount is being sold here, the TV and the quater are for display only. They are not included.

3 Stars Not the Best
First of all, the directions for using this mount are useless. It seems as if they had a standard (non-articulating) mount that they realized no one was buying and added the arm to it. The result is instruction that don’t show the arm but just a flat panel mount.

In addition, unlike other similar mounts, the articulating arm piece that attaches to the wall uses 6 screws (2 rows of 3) which makes it impossible for all of the screws to attach to a single stud.

Moreover, when attaching the arm piece to the standard wall piece the giant flat piece of metal is highly visable and unattractive for what I would like to see in a flat panel mount.

To make matters worse, the TV can easily slide from side-to-side on this giant piece of metal, which is not only cumbersome but scary….

1 Star Crawfish
If you plan to use as a fixed screen, then it’s great,

but if you plan on using the articulate, I don’t like it one bit.

I practically gave this unit away. The horizontal piece that is screwed onto the wall (parallel to the floor) and the vertical piece that goes on next is not what I call “secure”. It is the vertical piece that takes actual “pressure” exerted by the weight of the TV and the frame, “NOT” the parallel part. The vertical piece holes are only about err 6 inches apart (left and right) so how the hell do you expect me to screw both sides onto a stud (so only one side will be screwed onto the stud) when most studs are around 16″ apart? You might think that the pressure is partially distributed to the horizontal piece, but it doesn’t (unless you meld the two pieces together, or allow the vertical piece to fit first into the wall, then apply the horizontal piece). This unit is good if you have studs that fit perfectly on the vertical bar, or mount it outside like on concrete or something where you don’t have to worry about studs.

3 Stars Flawed But Functional

This is obviously a lot cheaper than most rotating wall mounts for large flat screen TVs. To some extent, you get what you pay for, but it works reasonably well. Installation is a bit challenging due to poorly translated instructions (lots of references to “wind” nuts, which you might think means wing nuts, but there are no wing nuts). Overall, not really high quality materials or engineering either. (One of the the lag bolts broke off in my wall, but I think I’m OK with the other 7.) In particular, be aware that this unit does tend to bend a little forward, maybe 5-10 degrees, due to the weight of the TV – I managed to offset this with some washers. I was only mounting a 37″ LCD, this tilt will probably be worse with a bigger/heavier TV.

But, all things considered, at a cost of 1/3 – 1/4 of other similar mounts, not a bad deal. It doesn’t have the rotational arc of some units, but it’s plenty for most applications. Despite the design deficiencies, it seems very well secured. Once you get it installed correctly it works well and actually looks pretty good too.

4 Stars All and All good Product
Good product for the price,Delivery time slower than expected,Snapped 2 bolts driving into stud.The only other issue is that We have a 32″Toshiba and the bracket shows from behind because it is meant to fit Larger Screens as well.All and All Good product. Ken, Maine.

4 Stars Just what I wanted
I wanted to mount my LCD TV to the wall, but discovered that the TV I purchased had an unusual mount pattern. I purchased and returned two other wall mounts. This product was perfect.
