5 Stars Heavy duty, worth the money
This arm is used to support a 23″ LCD tv. It was easy to install and it moves the TV with ease. It also has a slight tilt up and down which gives the Tv a better viewing angle. Certainly worth the price!

5 Stars Sturdy and easily mounted
As usual, Amazon handled and delivered my order promptly. The description was accurate and complete. This is a great wall mount. It is sturdy and easily installed. The trick is getting the television on the mount after it is on the wall. You need a helper.

5 Stars Solid Product – Works great with my 32″ LCD TV
Before you go buy a cheaper fixed mount for your new TV consider this product as an excellent alternative just in case the layout of your room changes or you need to pivot the tv to avoid window glare or other light source. It mounts easily with two huge screws and will collapse almost completely to the wall. When extended, it will allow the TV to be completely perpendicular to the wall. It is solidly built and doesn’t wobble at all. I have a 32″ LCD mounted to it. One bit of advice; mount it just above or below your wall outlets so that the arm can completely collapse against the wall. I had to remount mine a little higher because I didn’t do that to start with.

5 Stars Peerless Flat Panel Mount
Durable construction with multiple hardware mounting sets to fit all the various flat screen and wall-type configurations.

5 Stars Highly recommend.
Looked at many wall mounts and am completely satisfied with the Peerless SA740PS. Stepladder made it easy to install, since the mount is on the heavy side. Using it with a 32″ Samsung LCD

4 Stars Works well needed adaptor
Our TV needed to be mounted on a 200X200 plate. This mount comes 200X100. Ordered a adapter plate, and works great.

4 Stars good buy
this is a well built wall mount inst. a bit vague but its pretty straight forward works well holds up to the weigh of my 37″ flat screen

4 Stars Great mount, needs adapter for VESA 200×200
Very solid mount, works exactly as one would expect. The only disappointment is Amazon lists it as VESA 75, 100, and 200 compatible. That’s not completely accurate. It does include an adapter plate for VESA 200×100 mounting. It does NOT include VESA 200×200 mounting, however. That requires a separate adapter plate, e.g., UFP-280. I could have saved myself time and frustration had that been clearly shown.

Recommended, just be sure you have the mount you need for your television.

5 Stars A Good Investment
So, I was in tough spot. I had a 23″ widescreen monitor taking up most of my desk. On one hand, I wanted something functional, but on the other I didn’t have a lot to spend.

After much research, this little gem popped up. I wasn’t familiar with the brand, but the price was right. The way it’s screwed into a wall means that you *have to* get through a support stud(Not always the most convenient based on your furniture arrangement), but that’s a very small complaint.

I can move the arm freely left and right, it stays exactly where I put it every time. Additionally, the connector point to the monitor allows me to rotate the monitor freely up to 360 degrees. Call me a geek, but it’s cool to be able to turn my monitor 90 degrees to read comics, etc.

I’ll be acquiring a secondary monitor soon, and I definitely plan to purchase another one of these for it.

5 Stars Just what the doctor ordered !!
Bought mount of a 20″ flat screen TV. Very imprested with the quality and appearance.Easy to install and ajustments are endless A+++

5 Stars Very Well Made Wall Mount, Somewhat Easy to Install
I purchased two of these mounts for a 50″ and a 60″ Pioneer monitor. The Peerless website was helpful to make sure I choose the correct wall mount model # for these particular monitors. I liked the feature to adjust the screen tilt anywhere between -5 degrees to +15 degrees.

The wall mounts were sturdy and very well made. All parts were neatly packaged and well labeled. The installation instructions were straightforward and relatively easy to follow. It took about 1 hour to install each mount, with most of that time spent on picking a good wall location, deciding on a good mounting height and finding the wall studs using an electronic stud finder. For the best results, make sure that you take the time to fasten the mount to the center of the wall studs and that the mount is perfectly level.

One issue came up that was not addressed in the installation manual. There are two parallel sliding tracks on each bracket that attaches to the TV/monitor. These sliding tracks are used to adjust the screen tilt. The instructions discuss a manual tension adjustment on one of these tracks using a built-in ratchet handle. The tension on the second track was too tight and needed to be adjusted but the instructions did not discuss this. I neded to use a 3mm hex head driver and a small wrench to make this adjustment.

One other minor issue is a reference in the instructions to a screen compatibility chart on the Peerless website that is out of date (June, 2006 was the last update).

Overall, I would recommend this product.

5 Stars Great Mount
Buy 1/4 x 4′ U bolts to mount this thing. I used 7 U bolts and I could hang King Kong off this thing in my drywall. I have a 58′ television and I have absolutely no worries of this television dropping. One flaw in this mount is gaining access to the back of the television once it’s hung. It’s minor though and not enough to draw back from a 5 star rating.

5 Stars Sturdy, easy to adjust
Fairly easy to install, included everything but drill bit. I spent a lot of time looking for a updated mounting for my TV, but it was old. I used a toothpick to measure depth and used a spacer. Don’t waste time with the chart.

Tilt allows adjustment to prevent glare from light overhead. I didn’t think I needed this, but is really needed.

With my TV Samsung 58″, I had 4″ of up/down adjustment.

Requires 2 people to safely tilt. For the safety of the giant sheet of glass, use both hands of 2 people and gently tilt, not twist.

Lot of room to slide sideways after releasing safety screws.

Safety screws are small compared to the rest of the mount, but still more than enough.

5 Stars Great Universal Tilt Wall-Mount
Purchased this wall mount for my Pioneer 60″ plasma monitor. Holds this monitor with no problem. Tilt also works as described. Great product and customer support. Would recommend.

5 Stars Solid construction, spans 3 wall studs
Just wanted to note that this wall mount does just what it says and that it has the huge advantage of being wide enough to be mounted to 3 wall studs. That provides much better support for heavy flat panels AND allows for more precise mounting when the existing stud pattern is not optimal for 2-stud placement. Lastly, the mount’s adjustability is straightforward except that the rotating part that mounts on the panel was so tight, that I needed to use a long screwdriver to pry it and get it to move. Not a big deal once I realized that it was just stubborn and not ill-designed. Very sturdy.

5 Stars Works great so far
Bought this instead of the $30-$200 options at local radio shack as connection between Sony Blu-Ray player and Bravia 52″ LCD. It works as advertised. See other poster’s excellent review on fact this one may not be certified to full bandwidth and others in the $2-$3 range are – I would go with one of those if buying it again but so far, no problems.

5 Stars uh huh
What can I say about a $3 HDMI cord, except thank you. I Love my PS3 and I love it even more in $3 HDMI. Looks like it cost $30.

4 Stars Pretty Good…
I’ve been using this cable for about a year now with my 52″ Samsung LCD & have not had any issues with it. It transfers a clear & sharp signal. The max resolution that I’ve used it with is 1080i (from my HD cable box). I have not used it yet with a Bluray player so I cannot comment on it’s 1080p capability. Overall, great cable for a very CHEAP price…great alternative to the very pricey cables found in stores.

1 Star In this case, I didn’t get what I paid for.
Sure, they were only a penny a piece when I bought them but still, I should have gotten what was advertised- HDMI cables that worked.

Only one out of 4 cables worked on any of my equipment. The fourth cable works only on my satellite tv box, but nothing else.

I continue to believe that no @!%*$ cable is worth anywhere near $60 and up. Wire is wire; I’m sure there are reasonably priced HDMI cables (like for under $10) that work and meet HDMI 1.3 high speed specs just as well as the $100+ Monsters. This ain’t one of them.

1 Star Garbage
Sure it’s cheap, but who cares if it doesn’t work. Bought two of these, neither of which work and had to go out and pay regular price for some that actually worked
