5 Stars Great for the price
Mount is great. Easy to install. Looks nice on the wall. They give you a bunch of hardware, so there is a screw to fit any size TV.

I’d recommend this product. I’m buying another soon for another TV.

5 Stars Solid construction, low profile
While I was researching mounts for my Panasonic 42″ plasma, I saw many comments about how such and such a mount did not contain the right hardware for their TV. I thought, how many types of screws and bolts can there be? Well apparently there are several. The Peerless mount came with several bags of different kinds of hardware, all of varying sizes and lengths. A quick lookup on their website told me which bag to open for my TV. Now, while I didn’t need any of the other types of bolts, that attention to detail gave me confidence in the product I had purchased.

The metal construction of this mount is solid. After using a stud finder to locate the studs behind my drywall, I attached the mount with the huge screws it came with. Now my TV is solidly connected to the wall and not even a California earthquake could move this guy.

That being said, once mounted the TV is easy to take off the wall should you need to plug in something new. The vertical brackets you see in the product photo are separate pieces from the horizontal rectangular frame. You attach the vertical brackets to the back of your TV, and the rectangular frame is what gets attached to the wall. Tilting the bottom of the TV away from the wall allows you to lift it off of the frame it hangs on. Just make sure you have a friend to help. My wife and I can easily lift our Panasonic 42″ plasma off and on with this method. Presumably for added theft protection, the mount comes with some bolts that actually fasten the bottom of the TV to the mount so it requires a special tool to remove.

I should also mention that the mount came with two choices of brackets to use. One set puts the TV closer to the wall, while the other adds about an extra inch of space. This is helpful in case you need to create more room for the cables that plug into the back of your TV.

5 Stars Great mount
I was able to mount my 42 inch LCD alone in 20 minutes including time to open up the box and remove stand from TV. And yes, I never mounted the TV before.

Installation is very straightforward and consists of 3 steps:

1. Decide where you gonna hang it and find 2 studs around the center. (It can be off-center mounted to some extend).

2. Pre-drill holes and screw the frame with supplied screws.

3. Pick of 2 (thin or little bit thicker) vertical bars, screw them to the back of your TV (they included very nice set of screws, so you can easily find matching there) and hang the TV to the frame.

4. Optionally you can tighten security bolts on the bars.

There is only one trick – hook cables to TV before going to step #3. The rest is straightforward.

The final result looks sturdy enough and it can hold me in addition to TV

One hint about sizing: Don’t get to either end when choosing mount for your TV. E.g. it’s not the best idea to hang 32 or 60 inch TVs on this one:

* If TV is too small you’ll see frame sticking from under the TV.

* If TV is too big there is a good chance that it will not fit.

So, this is great mount for TVs between 37 and 55 inches inclusive (for 58 and up try to get next model which spans 3 studs – seeing how easy it was I’m thinking to mount my main 60 inch plasma too)

5 Stars Easy to install and mount…
I installed this and mounted a 50″ Plasma TV in under 30 minutes… it holds very well…

5 Stars Just what I was looking for ….
We just bought the Samsung LED TV that has the ultra-slim design but the Ultra Slim wall mount from Samsung is $250 so I decided to get this Peerless for $60 and my TV looks great. You can not see the rack, it is super slim too.

5 Stars Good Mount
This is a good, inexpensive mount. It is wide enough room to move it horizontally to accommodate the stud position. Installation was straight forward. The mount places the TV far enough away from the wall as to not interfere with cords. One should plug in all connections before mounting the TV to the bracket because it is very difficult after it is on the wall. Again, good mount for the money.

5 Stars excellent mount, issue with tilting
This mount is great, easy to install and very sturdy. Had a problem getting it to tilt. Had to break off 2 bars that were going through the tilt arms. Once those were gone, it worked fine. Good price also for a high quality mount.

4 Stars LOOSEN HEX SCREWS TO USE ANGLE FEATURE!!!!
Good product when it was finally up…you must loosen the small hex screws (with bolt) in order to use the angle feature. This is not shown in the procedure to install. It took me forever to figure this out and I only did because I read another review on Amazon…

4 Stars Good value in a strong flush mount
This is a great value on a mid-size, heavy duty wall mount. I paid $70 inc. shipping. I mounted a 32″ Sharp using this mount…a little overkill but I wanted to be able to go up in tv size in the future. Installation was pretty easy. I did it alone. I rate myself as fairly handy at this type of thing. Still, drill some holes, screw in a few screws and your done. A helper would make it go a little quicker. The mount is very solid and secure when intalled into wall studs. The instructions could have been a little clearer, but what do you expect. I used the pictures as reference. That was a much better approach than the written instructions. TV mounts very close to the wall (about 1.5″ clearance). Loosen two set screws and you can adjust tilt or remove TV from the wall.

Unless you have side hookups, make your cable connections before you hang the tv. Adjusting the tilt takes a little doing…there are set screws, so you can’t just adjust at will. Make sure you put the super long “security allen” wrench they give you in a safe place and remember where it is because you will need it to make adjustments. It has a hole in the end and a regular allen wrench won’t do. It came with a bunch of different size bolts to accomodate various televisions. Check the manufacturers website to find which mount is best for your tv. It will give you multiple choices. www.peerlessmounts.com Use the Mount Finder on the left.

I would definitely recommend this mount for anyone wanting a flush mounted screen.

5 Stars Does it get easier?
First off, Amazon is amazing. Ordered this on a Monday night and had it at my door Thursday afternoon. Great job!

As for the mount, what’s not to like? It’s solid. It’s easy to install. They include instructions in the box but I don’t have a clue what they where all about because I didn’t read them. If fact, if you need instructions to install this wall mount then you probably shouldn’t breed and contaminate the gene pool. Your offspring will just grow up to be equally inept at accomplishing simple tasks as you lack the life skills to pass on to them. There are far too many people in this world who can’t change a car tire and we don’t need a whole lot more who can’t screw a tv mount to a wall.

Another great thing about this wall mount is the price. I was looking at wall mounts in a large chain electronic store and the salesman was trying to sell me a mount that did the exact same thing as this Peerless one, only it cost three times as much. THREE TIMES!!! Same thing; different brand. I calmly explained to the salesman that for that kind of money, I usually would expect some sort of sexual gratification in addition to the wall mount. Unfortunately for him, I don’t swing like that and told him that perhaps he would like to find a female employee to handle the “other part” of our business transaction. The next thing I know, some guy calling himself the “store manager” is asking me to leave! Well how do you like that! They want to charge nearly two bills for their tilting wall mount but won’t stand behind their high prices. Or let me stand behind their female employees, as it were.

So in conclusion, if you’re looking for a reasonably priced universal tilting wall mount for flat screen televisions, this is an excellent choice. And if you can’t hang this mount yourself without instructions, please don’t have children. And if you already have children, don’t let them work in electronic stores unless they believe in what they sell. I mean really believe in it.

4 Stars Good value but several design flaws
I am very mechanically inclined so you can’t fault the installation. Starting out with the good. The frame is heavy duty, comes with detailed installation instructions written by a native english speaker and they have nice and tidy plastic bags labeled with all the key parts. Negatives were the tv part of the unit doesn’t really sit solidly into the wall plate until you tighten down the fastening screws. Even when it was tightened down the ridges aren’t totally aligned almost as if the CAD program had messed up the precision match of the plate to the TV bracket. The other big issue is the unit can not be easily tilted. For me this was a minor point as I have no interest in tilting it around once I set up the perfect tilt. However for some people this is a key feature and I would not buy it if that was key for you. All in a good product but I really had to manipulate the plates to get them to align properly.

4 Stars Great Wall Mount
Wall mount works just as advertised. Easy to put up, great fit. It isn’t that easy to tilt once you have the tv mounted, so try and get the tilt that you want before you put the tv up.

1 Star They did not include the right size bolts
Upon going through the instructions and making sure that the frame would fit to the back of the TV it became apparent rather quickly that the included bolts did not have the width to fit the holes on the back of my new Samsung Regza 42′ TV. I will have to go to the hardware store and attempt to find the right size. This is going to be a pain as it will all be guess work. So between the TV and the Hanging frame I am a bit annoyed.

5 Stars Best LCD Mount Ever
This is the 3rd LCD Mount that I have purchased. And while they have all been peerless mounts this one is fantastic. It is used to mount my 52″ Samsung LCD and its perfect. The quality of the mount is excellent and the glossy powder coat is pristine.

If you have doubts about buying this mount let me put them all to rest. I would absolutely buy this mount again.

4 Stars Long screwdriver
They should note that you need an exceptionall long shanked screwdriver to tighten the locking screws.
