VideoSecu, an innovator of video mounts is the choice of professional installers and the brand most recommended by flat panel manufacturers. VideoSecu’s new Articulating mounts are a breakthrough in flat panel mount design, combining strength, easy installation, and striking product design that is unparalleled in the industry. They take maneuverability, stability and security to the extreme with a unique look that is sure to match your flat panel. The Articulating LCD Wall Arm supports most 22″ to 37″ LCD screens and up to 43 inch TV. It folds flat against the wall or extends out up to 15″. The two-link arm design provides easy one-touch tilt and up to 180 degrees of swivel for virtually limitless viewing positions. Fits most flat panel LCD TVs up to 42″. Will It Fit my LCD? Please check the weight of your TV or LCD, it must be less than 66 lbs. If your LCD Monitor or TV has 4 or 6 holes on the back of the screen, and they are either 50 x 50 mm (2″ x 2″), 75 x 75 mm (3 X 3″) or 100×100 mm (4″ x 4″), 200×100mm (8″ x 4 “), or 200×200 (8″ x 8″) apart from each other horizontally or vertically, 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 and 4 holes should be revealed. If your TV has VESA 400×200 or 600×400, this mount does not fit. You need a mount with larger TV plate. Please make sure what mount your TV needs before you place order. If you are not sure, please send us a message. We will check for you.

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

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 Completely satisfied
This is an excellent mount. We wanted to mount our 46″ TV inside of a cabinet where we had about 8″ of depth to work with. This was the shallowest mount that I could find. When you fold it up, it’s about 2″ deep, not including the adapter plate which adds another inch or so. It’s very solidly built but in spite of it’s heavy-duty construction, it is effortless to pull out and swivel (it can sometimes be a little tougher to pop back into the fully-closed position). The installation instructions were thorough and it comes with tons of hardware to work with a variety of sets. You can’t go wrong with this mount.

4 Stars Sturdy, but BIG!!!
Pros

1) Easy to Install

2) Sturdy

3) Articulates nicely (swivel and vertical tilt down) and no fear that TV will fall

4) Piano black finish looks nice

5) Cable Management

Cons

1) Sits farther out from the wall than described. Your TV model may sit even farther out

2) mounting “guts” still visible despite the design

3) cable management designed for in-wall cabling.

Summary – For those looking for a heavy duty articulating mount, this is for you. Price is great from Amazon.

Details

This is a very sturdy mount and installation was pretty easy – I would recommend a helper to hold it, because it’s pretty heavy. Unfortunately, the depth of the product means that your TV will sit more than 4+ inches off the wall, despite the fact that the description says only 2.5. If you have to use the larger mounting brackets, there’s a 6 inch gap between the TV and the wall.

I was looking for a mount that would be somewhat close to the wall and still swivel out for viewing in a different part of the room. I thought this would be good, since the description said it’d only be approx 2 inches off the wall and because of the box that encloses all of the mounting hardware. However, keep in mind that with a 4-6″ gap behind your TV, the vertical brackets and everything is still viewable.

I ended up returning it and simply buying a Peerless flush mount without the articulating arm.

3 Stars Sturdy but has its problems.
Must agree this is a very sturdy little mount, but that pivot arm is just too stiff. Feels like I would yank the TV off the attachment bracket soon. Kind of lame they only include 4 screws for attaching the TV(6 mount points) and those plastic spacers are way too cheesy. If you have a LG DU-42PX12X TV I would suggest a trip to the hardware store.

Now since this mount is for large screens you could expect the wall bracket to spawn more then one stud section. I can see some folks want a tiny mount, but in my case I could care less(recessed into a cabinet). I wanted to have my TV mounted center on one stud, so I ended up first mounting a 1″ solid wood plank across 3 studs and then attaching the mount to that.

5 Stars Perfect Mount for my 42 Plasma
The Peerless SP850 UNLP-GB does everything you want….up, down, left side, right side and various degrees of tilt. The installation instructions were very easy to follow and performed, all the necessary bolts, nuts and screws were in the package….idiot proof installation. In addition, the glossy black finish perfectly matched the finish of my new TH-42PZ85U Panasonic 42″ Plasma TV. So needless to say, this is the perfect mount for any large Plasma or LCD

4 Stars Great Quality–Sturdy–Pay for what you get
I bought this based off my dad’s recommendation…he installs Peerless brand mounts in many government buildings. I am please with how solid and sturdy the product is–I don’t feel that my TV is going anywhere or falling off anywhere. I have a 52″ television and I don’t feel comfortable grabbing the sides and just pulling in and out on the tv to make it come from the wall. The pivot arms seem a little stiff so I sometimes grab behind the television and pull the arms in when putting the TV away—it seems to be easier. Not sure if any type of grease or anything would make it slide easier or if its because of the size of my TV. Definitely happy with the stand and will be another.
