4 Stars Nice
I am pretty happy with this piece. I had a little difficulty putting together. I spent about 4 hours by myself (You really do need two people) then had a friend come over and we finished in an hour…but the biggest problem are two screws that they align directly opposite of each other that mess up the drawers. The two screws cannot be made flush since they hit into each other and that makes the drawers unable to slide – solution removed one of the screws and now both drawers slide.

For the money this is a good TV Stand. My 46 in Sony looks great on it.

4 Stars Great for the price
Its a nice looking piece.. The finish is great. Easy to assemble. Ample storage space. Fits my 50″ Plasma. Quality is not bad for the price. Assemble with care because of chances of chipping off. The legs are plastic, not metal..

4 Stars South Shore City Life Chocolate
product is perfect for big flat screen’s. Put a 55″ on it, with speakers fitting nicely on the two ends. Came damaged, they replaced the pieces with no hassle but it did take a bit of time to get the parts. the doors look much better in person then online, I can use my remote through them so it’s great to hide a dvd/xbox

5 Stars SouthShore TV Stand
My wife was very skeptical about this piece. She kept wanting to see it physically but we couldn’t find it anywhere. We kept looking for a new TV stand because we were moving from out old 27″ tube TV to a big screen HD. We looked and looked and I kept coming back to this piece of furniture. It had all of the doors and shelves that I was looking for – a place for DVDs (and even VHS tapes), exposed shelves for components that I always wanted to be well ventilated, and even room for surround sound speakers w/o being obtrusive. Amazon turned out to be even cheaper than Walmart for this piece. Its construction is excellent. It was relatively easy to put together – a piece of cake for anyone who has done any flat-pack furniture in the past. This one was one step better than any of the others I’ve built because *all* of the parts were numbered. Other manufacturers force you to identify the pieces from the parts list. I even came “armed” with a Sharpie to label the parts when I happily found that they were pre-labeled. Everything fit together perfectly. The only “hard” part was aligning and adjusting the hinges on the doors but even that wasn’t hard. It comes with a full back that gets nailed in place. but for my purposes, I left it completely off for easy of cabling. It would be kind of nice if the backing was in 3 separate sections so that the parts behind the doors could be installed w/o the center part where I have lots and lots of cables. But even with the back off, the piece looks great, is very sturdy, and is everything I hoped it would be.

5 Stars Nice, Solid design
I can accommodate tv size 27″ to up to 47″. It’s is easy to assemble, if you take your time to read the instruction that are provided.

5 Stars Great Mount.
I bought this mount for a Toshiba 32 inch before I had the TV. This mount came with the mounting plate for 200mm x 200mm which is a great feature, unfortunately the Toshiba uses a 200mm x 400mm VESA mounting scheme. After a trip to Home Depot and some measurements; a cut here and a hole drilled there I was able to make it work for me. One advantage of engineering your own mount is some additional space between the wall and the TV.

The mount itself is great. I particularly like the rotation feature, it can be rotated 180 degrees either direction from center. The only thing stopping this mount from going 360 degrees is the cords for the TV. Since the mount is screwed directly into the studs for mounting it’s quite strong and should have no problem with TV’s up to 37 inch. Had I not had the issue with the mounting to the TV I could have had this unit in place within half an hour. The directions that came with are a little confusing what with all the different languages and being a bit vague but with the pictures they are easy to follow and should be able to guide anyone through installation. All in all a worthwhile purchase.

5 Stars Great compact mount
Used this mount to hang a 19″ Toshiba LCD/DVD in my boat. Nice system – really shallow and still allows full range of motion adjustment. Good access to set screw and tension adjustment knob as well. Worth the extra dollars, and I would recommend over others I have used.

5 Stars Works Great!
This product works great with our new 26 inch TV. There isn’t much range of motion to the sides with this combination of tv size and the product, however.

5 Stars Easy to install, great price
I used this for a 32″ Sharp LCD TV with rear AV inputs, and it looks and works great. I was initially concerned about having enough clearance in the back for the wires, but this has not been a problem.

The instructions were clear. I successfully installed this in 15 minutes or so, and I’m a relative novice when it comes to these things.

3 Stars Didn’t Work For Me
I used this to mount an Olevia 37″ on a flat wall. It seems to be of good quality and holds solidly to the TV and the wall but it didn’t work out for me. Perhaps my set, at 53 lbs. is a little too big for it. First, it only allows 15 degrees of tilt and swivel, which is very little movement, hardly worth the bother. I suppose I should have known that. Secondly, there is an adjustment knob you tighten to lock the TV into position after you adjust it (slightly) to the position you want. The knob is, of course, in the 2″ space between the TV and the wall. I found it nearly impossible to get a hand in there to tighten the knob; I could only reach it with outstretched fingers, and it is not shaped for a wrench or pliers. Ultimately I could not tighten the knob enough to hold the TV in position so it creeps down until the bottom edge rests against the wall. Perhaps with a lighter TV it would work fine. At any rate, I am buying a different mount with more swivel adjustment.

Great Product, we got it to mount a tv in our Bathroom. works great, Highly Recommended !!

5 Stars HANGING ANOTHER TV
USED THIS MOUNT ON A 15 INCH TV AND WORKED PRETTY WELL

ADJUSTMENT/LEVELING IS TRICKY BECAUSE OF THE ARTICULATING ARM

IF YOU HAVE SOME TIME FOR MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH THE RESULT

5 Stars Fantastic Little TV Mount
This is the perfect mount for a small LCD TV. It’s small but is still completely adjustable. Allows more angle andjustments than some of the larger models. Easy to install and even comes with its own pop-in bubble level (nice touch). I am extremely impressed with this mount. Also saved $40 buying it here than from a major retail store.

5 Stars Great little mounting bracket!
I bought this for use with a 22″ LCD TV in my kitchen, to fit on the counter below the cabinets. Easy to wall mount, but I had to file down part of the bottom of the hanging wall cabinet since it was a very tight fit and the cabinet wasn’t perfectly square. Bracket works great to move the TV around to be able to see it from any part of the kitchen; the island, the sink, or from the dining area. TV can be pushed almost flush with the wall. BOTTOM LINE: Higly recommended.

5 Stars Beautiful TV for an Amazing Price!!!
Wow, is all I can say for the price and quality of this product. I’m very happy.

5 Stars I’m Impressed!
A 50 inch TV for less than $800 and free shipping. The picture and sound quality are great. The delivery was super smooth. The delivery co. arranged a time and when they came to the house they unboxed the TV, set up the stand, and made sure everything was working before they left. I’m glad I got the 50 inch instead of the 42 inch. I’ve only had the TV for three days and I am very pleased everything has gone so smoothly.

5 Stars Fantastic and Marvelous Plama TV
I purchased this televison yesterday and was major disappointed due to the fact that the screen was broken in 2 or 3 places. The reason was due to the fact that, no one told the consumer to never lay this tv flat. It must be kept in an upright position during and after transport. Although ours had never been laid on its side, but was picked up that way. We took it back and the salesman at Sams Club told us that whomever brought the television out to us in the store, should have had it upright. If the television is laid on its side or laid flat, it has some type of gas and the gas is very heavy and that is what will cause the screen to break.

I have found out from doing the reviews prior to purchase that quite a few people had experienced broken screens right out of the box. It states it on the box, but Panasonic needs to put this extremely important information directly on the front and top of the box in huge bold letters to avoid this problem. Other than that, this television is very easy to setup and operate. The picture quality is bold and up front and in your face beautiful to see. We purchased the 720p and we also saw the 1080p in the store side by side, and there is very minor difference in the two, except the 1080p has a little bit more of a sharper color. I was told that when you purchase or if you have an HD receiver and the cord with the gold end, you get the exact same picture as the 1080p. My sister has a 32 inch Panasonic Viera, and before she hooked it to her HD receiver, she still had a dynamite picture, but when she hooked it to her HD receiver, it was mad with color and clarity and features. She said she could see pock marks and freckles in peoples faces. That is how clear this tv shows clarity.

The one thing that I am glad this television didn’t have that my RCA HDTV had was, the Convergence feature. The RCA Convergence had us having to have it repaired every year after the 2nd year. The cost of repair was $200 plus, and that is the reason I kicked my RCA out of my bedroom and soon to be leaving the house.

I will be a Panasonic fan now, and RCA can forget about me and my husband as buyers of anymore of their products. This Panasonic is worth every penny, which wasn’t much. I purchased mine on Sams Club web site and used the Click and Pull feature and was given the online price of $797.00 and I went to the store and paid there. The in store price at Sams for this same tv is $1198.00.

The Panasonic Viera 50 inch with 720p which is the pixels, is alright with me and I will be buying more tv’s for other rooms in my home. I didn’t know how good watching tv was, and I didn’t know all this time, that I had been watching a dead tv until I got my Panasonic Plasma.

Buy this tv and you won’t be sorry, and the sound is amazing and the features are too numerous to tell you here.

5 Stars Fabulous Picture
This was my first flat screen TV purchase. I entered the research knowing nothing about LCDs or Plasmas and came out knowing, probably, more than I needed. Overall, this is the best quality TV I found for the money. My choices were Sony Bravia, Sharp Aquos and Samsung. I decided that I really did not care for 120hz, since I do not watch any live television (sports or concerts). I also came to the conclusion that I did not need the 1080p technology, since the difference was minimal. The picture on the Panasonic is simply fabulous. It’s very sharp, the colors are fantastic and the black is super deep.

The only complaint I have is that I wish the “Energy Star” logo was on the back instead of the bottom left corner.

5 Stars Nice tv at a great price
Had to replace our 50″ rear projection Toshiba which cost us about $1500 with this 50″ wide screen plasma. Years ago plasma was out of sight expensive. Now this 720p HD wide screen cost us just over half of the original big screen tv. I hooked up an hd over the air antenna and the picture is fantastic. I won’t pay for the extra for hd digital from Directv but the standard digital picture is, while not up the standards of hd, still very good. Better than the Toshiba I replaced and good enough for most stuff. The Toshiba was an HD tv, at 1080i and this 720p is better, which you’d expect. At about 10 feet away the picture is very, very good. The set with an upgrade dvd has a wonderful picture. I’m not sure why you’d pay more for a tv. Maybe you’re a videophile. Maybe so. For my money, this set by Panasonic is a great value with a no compromise picture. It is true that the set’s sound needs to be supplemented if you want great sound with your movies. I recommended Panasonic and this 720p 50″ hd tv.
