5 Stars Almost overkill
I purchased this bracket to mount a 23′ LCD computer monitor on the wall.

Fortunately, this bracket comes with an adapter that compensates for different angles of the backplates of different monitors.

My new Dell monitor has a slanted back, so I needed to use the adapter.

As for the bracket itself, it’s very heavy duty. To a point where it’s overkill for my monitor.

As other reviews have stated, when retracted, it still projects from the wall about 8 1/2″ (in my case), but it’s not a big deal.

This is a better bracket and MUCH less expensive as the one’s I looked at in Best Buy and Walmart.

Highly Recommended.

5 Stars Sturdy mount
I bought this mount to replace one that I had purchased at Lowe’s.

Pros: strong, sturdy metal construction; heavy-duty hardware and screws; snap-on plastic cover neatly hides the mounting screws. Installation was a breeze compared to my previous experience with the Lowe’s product. This mount has two sections, one is screwed to the wall and the other to the TV. Then you simply hang the TV section into a slot on the wall section, very elegant.

Cons: The only fault I could find was the arm doesn’t snug up as close to the wall as I’d like. The pictures here are accurate, use them to judge if the mount will suit your application.

This mount is priced well below similar ones listed on Amazon, but don’t mistake price for quality. I highly recommend this sturdy articulating wall mount, it is a true value for your money.

5 Stars This baby does the trick…and holds a ton!
I mounted a 22″ LCD PC monitor using this mount. The company bares no expense in providing installation hardware and an adapter plate. I didn’t need the adapter plate and the provided hardware was sufficient to get the mount up on the wall and attached to the stud; and, get the mounting bracket for the monitor attached to the four (4) VESA 100mm threaded inserts on the monitor back. From there it’s a simple matter to attach the monitor to the wall mount, adjust the tilt and tighten the hardware.

As another reviewer commented, it is overkill for my application but if I move up to a larger monitor I have no doubt that this mount will do the job.

5 Stars Tilt Wall Mount for 26″ to 42″ Displays (Silver)
Fast shipping, one forth the price of what I would have paid

at best buy….great quality. Am very happy with purchase.

5 Stars Great product
Wow, I’ve seen the same make sold elsewhere for more than double the price. This was so easy to set up and get on the wall even a cave man could do it! Would recommend this mounting bracket to anyone thinking about putting their flat screen on the wall. We are really pleased with the result and since it was so easy the down side is why didn’t we do this sooner!

5 Stars great mount
this mount was simple to install, highly recommend. tilts up and down, not left and right.

5 Stars Easy to install, good price
After finding the stud location, this mount took us only 10 minutes to install. Instruction is clear and simple. Mount is small and tilts well, a very good fit for LCD TV smaller than 40 inch.

4 Stars Great Product at a High Price
Used this mount for a Samsung 46 inch LED TV. A little over priced but I bought this TV to hang as close to the wall as possible. No point in paying a premium for a thin TV and the having it stick put from the wall 2 inches. Product quality is A+. Very well made in fit and finish. Mounts TV securely to the wall and with the cables hidden in the wall, makes the TV float. TV hangs flat to the wall, no tilt. Good instructions and comes with a varity of hardware to attach to most kinds of walls. 5 stars for a well made well designed mount. 1 star off for the price. I’d buy it again.

4 Stars Very Happy with Installation Kit and Use
I had purchased a Samsung 46″ LED TV at Best Buy but they wanted listed price (I think $149) for this wall mount. So I checked Amazon and they had it for about half that price. The installation instructions were good. It comes with hardware for both a solid wall (wood/brick) and a wallboard installation. I installed it into wallboard. I was nervous about the weight at first but the hanging kit is very good and the work went well. Hanging the TV on the mounts is just like hanging a picture frame since the TV has a thin wire cable that hangs over the wall mounts.

5 Stars great
This product was about half as expensive as anywhere else and it’s the exact same thing. It’s been hanging on my wall for a few weeks now and haven’t had any problems.

5 Stars Great wall mount!
I purchased this Samsung ultra slim wall mount for my new Samsung UN55B8000 55″ LED TV. I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about mounting a $3K TV using such minimal hardware, but the materials and construction of the mounting system is very high quality. The ultra slim wall mount takes full advantage of the TV’s thin (1.2″) design and only adds a half inch when installed. Therefore, the total depth from the wall is less than 2″. Awesome! If you’re going to wall mount the 6000, 7000, or 8000 series LED TVs, this is the way to go.

5 Stars Super product.
The wall mount for our new Samsung 55″ television is perfect. The directions/video on you tube were great and my husband and I mounted our television with no surprises or glitches. The total profile, including wall mount, is a hair over 1 1/2 inches. Amazing. Well worth the money on Amazon.

5 Stars Sanus solves under-cabinet mounting problem
The Sanus MF215-B1 full motion wall mount bracket allows installation under a wall cabinet. Because mounting brackets require that the tv be lifted above the bracket to connect the wall and tv segments of the bracket it is not possible to mount a tv close to the underside of a wall cabinet unless the swingarm extends beyond the face of the cabinet. With a 14-1/2″ swingarm, the MF215-B1 fills the bill. I mounted my 32″ Vizio within 1/8″ of the cabinet bottom allowing for full swingarm motion (tilt not required at that level) and enabling placement of a dvd player on the countertop under the tv. This saves countertop space and makes for an attractive installation.

4 Stars Works fine, would buy it again.
I have this attached to a 32″ Samsung LCD. Sturdy enough, simple install, no problems. You can scoot the tv forward, making your screen seem larger, avoid glare issues from windows…it’s definitely worth it to go “full motion”.

Best buy sells this item for $129 plus tax. So this is half the price!

5 Stars Works GREAT with Dell 24″ Flat Panel LCD
The MF215-B1 works great with the Dell 24″ Wide-LCD Monitors (Model 2409W). Installation instructions are very straight forward and includes additional parts to accommodate the various VESA mounts. Very solid construction, no unintentional sway, drag or other movement. Initially I was a little concerned about how well it would support the weight of the monitor when fully extending the arm but now I’m convinced that it will do the job just fine.

5 Stars OUTSTANDING PICTURE QUALITY!
The Samsung PN58B650 58-inch Plasma HDTV is such an improvement over my conventional CRT-TV I can’t even begin to tell you!

The picture quality is just outstanding for a screen this large (with connection to my new DISH TV VIP satellite TV DVR, which stores 350 hours of Standard Definition TV and 55 hours of HDTV recordings). The sound is OK, but this becomes irrelevant when connected to a home theater receiver and with quality speakers.

With 4 HDMI inputs, there is sufficient connection to auxilliary components including Blue Ray players which contain HDMI outputs if you wish to make direct connections to your TV. A better method is to connect all components to your upscaling home theater receiver with ONE HDMI output to your HDTV panel.

There are also many standard input/output connection solutions on this TV, and there is optical digital sound output which can be fed back into your home theater receiver or other devices.

I’m impressed with the ability to connect this TV to the internet for connection to widgets (weather, stocks, news, etc), but you have to be patient for things to happen since it’s not so INSTANT as PC response would be.

You can connect a flash drive to view your pictures and movies stored on them.

You can also connect this TV through USB connection to your own desktop computer or laptop computer to navigate to your picture and movie files there.

I’m very pleased with this TV overall and got a terrific deal from Amazon.com with a $300 discount. The TV was delivered by 2 guys in a van who brought the TV into my home, unboxed it and tested it for picture and sound with my cable connection. I found a beautiful 3-shelf black glass stand at Best Buy to place my new Samsung HDTV upon with all components on shelves below and it’s stunningly beautiful.

Thank you Amazon for the great deal and this beautiful TV!

4 Stars Samsung HD Plasma TV
Very happy with this HD Plasma TV. The picture quality and overall performance of this TV is excellent.

Initially had a problem applying an Amazon.com promotional discount of $325 on this item. After exchanging numerous emails with Amazon.com over several weeks, Amazon.com resolved my problem to my satisfation.

5 Stars Downgrade in size, upgrade in quality
I purchased this model Samsung plasma back in late June and have not regretted a single moment of it’s use since. I previously had a Mitsubishi 65″ wide screen rear projection and it was capable of 1080i. It was paired with a now 4yr old Onkyo 7.1 home theater in a box setup and my Sony Playstation 3. While 1080i looked really nice, I couldn’t take advantage of the PS3’s full 1080p/Blu-ray capability. So, after years of pining for 1080p, I finally laid out the cash for the Samsung PN58B650 and because it uses HDMI vs. the DVI connections my Onkyo receiver had, I paired the Samsung up with the Denon AVR790. O-M-G!! Blu-ray from my PS3 looks utterly amazing. The HD picture quality is absolutely crisp and clear. It literally looks like I could just reach in and grab the objects I see in HD. The Dolby HD and DTS HD-MA support from the Denon receiver just puts it over the top! Everything sounds awesome, especially the THX adverts on the DVD’s that support it. I reused the 7.1 surround speakers that came with the older Onkyo and the Denon simply breathed new life into them as they sound much better than before. I have the Samsung mounted on the wall and when I fire it up with either a 1080p supported PS3 game or a Blu-ray movie, I just begin to gush.

As for burn-in, every few weeks I run the built-in screen clean utility and I’m good to go. I have yet to hear any buzzing noise from any angle and dead center so I guess I lucked out.

5 Stars WOW Don’t walk, Run to buy this Plasma
I was a little worried ordering a TV of this size / cost online. Amazon came thru. Best price I found on line. $2175.00 deliverd. While I waited for the TV to arrive. I recived the latest consumer report. Read where this B650 was rated #1. My review is as follow’s. First I own at present time 7 LCD TV’s thru out my home. This was my first Plasma. When the TV arrived. I used a Break-in DVD for the first 250+ hours. Just placed the TV near a wall and left the break-in DVD run. When my new 65″ oak TV stand arrived I was ready. After my system was set up. I used a calibration DVD to set the colors etc. All I can say is, WoW. I am in HD heaven now. The black’s are the deapest I have ever seen on any TV period. The whites are pure white. This TV’s picture will take your breath away. The sound is not that bad using stand along. There is no sound from the power supply. What a well built, beautifull TV.

5 Stars Samsung B650 PLASMA TV
Delivered quicker than first stated through a specialized delivery company. Plugged in the TV to make sure everything was fine. The Samsung B650 Plasma is beautifully designed and the picture quality is outstanding. Has the Energy Star so saves on the juice.
