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other minor issue is a reference in the instructions to a screen compatibility chart on the Peerless website that is out of date (June, 2006 was the last update).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 Very satisfied – easy installation
The product was easy to install and works great per the other reviews. The hardest part was getting the TV onto the wall-mount but with the help of somebody else it only took a few minutes.

5 Stars Nice mount would buy again
This is a nice mount. It did work well, and is sturdy. The kit is complete and the instructions good. I used it to mount a 32″ tv and it worked well. You do have to check the mount pattern on your TV, but it will work with the sizes claimed. The tv is close to the wall, so cabling may be difficult. Tilt works fine. It is a bit difficult to hook the tv to the mount during assembly and for larger sets you may need someone to watch as you line things up, but once hooked it is secure.ONE THING I WOULD SUGGEST I used the adapter plate, which is needed for 200 X 100, and 200 x 200. If you need this plate buy an extra set of washers. The kit comes with 4 washers you need to use to attach the adapter to the hanger plate. I felt it was a good idea to use 4 additional washers when mounting the TV to the plate for additional surface area for the screw to grab. I would buy again.

4 Stars Good wall mount, great value
I’ve been using this wall mount for about 8 months now, and it’s been great. The tilt really helps reduce the color distortion that some LCD TVs have when viewed from an angle. I’m giving it a 4 out of 5 for two reasons. First, getting the TV pannel onto the wall mount is a little tricky if you’re doing this as a one-person job. It’s definitely doable, but takes some patience when you’re working with a larger TV/Monitor. Second, my TV has the inputs on the bottom/back, and when the TV is tilted the inputs cannot be reached. Of course, if your TV has side or top inputs, this probably won’t be an issue. But I would like to have seen a little more clearance between the wall and TV.

5 Stars Great wall mount
This mount comes with everything you need. It is easy to install. The only drawback is no swivel. I didn’t need swivel so this was the mount for me.

4 Stars Decent Product
I have a 22 inch TV mounted on it and it works great. The only reason why I don’t give it a 5 is because the TV is not completely level. However, I’m not positive that I am not the reason for the out of level installation. But since this is for a workout TV we use in the garagae and it’s not that out of level, I haven’t put too much effort into reinstalling it.
