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

Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC P65S1 65 Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV Black

High definition is more than mere pixels. It’s all about visual quality. Plasma TV offers higher contrast and deeper color than LCD screens. With a screen at a class of 65″, you’ll observe a new concept of HDTV entertainment that rivals anything else. Why go to the movies when you’ve got this Viera TV! The Panasonic TC-P58S1 65″ Class Viera S1 Series Plasma 1080p HDTV brings a giant 64.7-inch class (diagonal) wide screen to bring sports, movies, and TV into your home with in-your-face realism. LCD is lighter in weight and a little more energy efficient but, when it comes to visual quality, most LCD screens seem pale in comparison. That’s why, when it comes to appreciating the qualities of HDTV and Blu-Ray, this Panasonic Viera plasma TV is a better buy. There are also some distinct features worth appreciating. 600Hz technology lets you view superb full-HD motion and still images with 1,080 lines of resolution (per APDC). For even greater clarity with motion images, Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data. And each frame is practically displayed for a shorter length of time than in previous systems, to reduce aftereffects. It’s easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos right after you take them. Simply insert an SD card into VIERA to display photos on the large screen. You can also choose from among 3 types of background music and 4 display effects. It’s much more fun when you can view them on a large-screen HDTV with family and friends in 1920 x 1080-pixel high definition and a wide 16:9 aspect ratio.

5 Stars I am never leaving the house!
I hooked up the satellite equipment, hooked up my stereo, plugged it in, and WHOA! I just sit there for hours staring at it. I can just imagine how it will look when I turn it on! JK! I couldn’t have asked for more. It is so beautiful. The picture is as clear as I could ask for. Sometimes it’s almost 3D. Honestly, I was dozing off and there was a show on about space exploration and for a second when I woke up I thought I was in the cockpit of the spaceship soaring through space. It took me a few seconds to get back to the reality that I was looking at the TV, lol. Blu-ray really shines on this TV! This is by far one of the most amazing things I’ve every owned.

5 Stars The Best Plasma TV Out there
I bought this TV on August 30 and got it delivered on Sept 10. It’s a big set that needs to be delivered on trucks, not UPS. The seller communicates via email to update the status of your order. A day before the delivery date, the truck guys will call and confirm the hours, typically a four-hour window for them to show up. Now, there is something that I think a prospective buyer wants to keep in mind. TV of this size is not easily transported. So it’s the policy of the vendor, and probably industry-wide (because I’ve checked several vendors and that they all said the same thing), that you CAN’T RETURN IT if you don’t fell like it. In other word, don’t just buy it because you just want to check it out. The vendor will take it back if and only if it is 1) defective or 2) broken. So it’s crucial that once it’s delivered and while the delivery guys are still there, please open it up. Plug it in and make sure it work. In other word, do a thorough inspection. Because once these guys leave, you pretty much own it for good.

Now, comes the TV. This is a great set par none for its price. A quick walk through your local Best Buy will tell you that. I’ve seen TV’s a lot smaller and much less sophisticated got sold for prices very close to this set’s. Some of those are not very well known brands. The TV is not that heavy at all. The listing weight, according to Amazon is 175 shipping and 145, is not correct. Although I don’t know its shipping weight, the set itself is 90 lbs (yeah..this isn’t a typo). I’m a fairly small guy (5′7) and my brother’s (5′8), and we both were able to pick it up and set it on the console without breaking a sweat. The hookup is straight forward. Just find the right connection and plug it in. Very much self-explanatory. The remote doesn’t look that intimidating either. I mean if you’ve played around w/ electronic equipments, you don’t need to read the manual. Play around w/ a few keys and you’ll get it. It’s realllyyyyyy simpleeeee. I had mine hooked up to Direct TV w/ the premium package (Football package). So I’m able to watch fairly large number of HD channels. And …yes….it is…………awesome..yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh…

As with plasma TV, I’m sure we all know that it should be in a dark room because plasma screens tend to reflect light. Mine is a bit close to the window. Although I try to shut down all the blinds when I watch football on Sundays, a tiny bit of reflection is still visible. The best show is at night. Dim the lights and you will be amazed at its clarity. As for the speakers, don’t bother. You’re not buying this TV for its speakers. So why even bother to turn it on? All TV speakers sucks. Period. If you were willing to spend this much dough on a TV, do yourself a favor. Go big w/ speakers. Speakers nowaday are relatively cheap. You can easily get a decent pair of speakers for a couple hundred dollars. I currently have mine set up w/ the Yamaha speaker bar. It’s not the best, but decent enough for both regular TV reviewing and some action movies. The real nirvana will come when I save enough $$$ for a pair of Martin Logan.

Go ahead & Buy it. I guarantee you won’t regret. Be sure to buy it from Amazon. Their service is great.

5 Stars Bigger Is Better
I have had this plasma display for a week now. Great picture (particularly with blu-ray movies), and an amazing price. Don’t be fooled that LCD is better because it appears “brighter”. Plasma has a more cinematic feel to it.

Think 65 inches is too big? Think again. If you sit at least 8 or 9 feet away when viewing, this display will knock your socks off. To me it makes more sense to go big and get the real benefit of high definition. Just a few years ago a TV like this would cost $15,000+ and not look as good as this unit. Pull the trigger, and get it while the price is right.

5 Stars Great overall value and HD set!
Simple review… Amazon’s price was great (with free blu-ray player to boot), shipping was free, and it was white glove, right to my living room. The shipping company called and scheduled a delivery, showed up within the window, and I dropped them a nice tip. Now the set is a monster. If you have the room, get this set! Pic quality is outstanding, and the plasma blacks are great. By far the best value going right now for a 65″ hdtv. The v10 model of this has some nice features, but not worth $1200 more to me.

5 Stars Best value on the market
I looked at this set and the TC-P65V10 in Best Buy before I purchased it here. Using the same input I could not tell more that a tiny marginal difference in the V10’s 96hz 24p feature and this set without. I also looked at the 60″ KURO and while it did look better calibrated, it was not worth the more than “double the price” premium. I could tell a difference in the price though and back in my in home all I can say is, “WOW what a picture”. This performance available at this Amazon price point is the value of the year in television IMHO.

I bought the new TC-P54G10 in early September and also have a 720P 50″ TH-50PX80U model. While the TC-P65S1 Panasonic does not have THX, I was not as impressed with the THX settings as I thought I would be and prefer to use the custom settings. In my opinion this is still by far the best picture of the three sets I own. It shares the same Neo-PDP glass as the 54G10 but at 65″ the 1080 ability really shows through. Even at the 54″ size I cannot tell the difference with the 720 sets but this 65S1 shines like a star. I watched the Thursday night college football game on ESPNHD and spent more time being amazed at the picture than at the game and it was a darn good game.

This set is in a big room, 19′ x 26′, 12″ ceiling with lots of glass windows behind it and sliding doors. The anti glare works well, really great.

They need to add the ability to use Netflix right from the set and add more picture control ability for fine tuning and calibration of the picture.

Panasonic really knows their stuff. I can’t wait until they come out with a 100″ or better Plasma that folks who are not a Rap-Star can afford.

Don’t hesitate to purchase through Amazon!

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

5 Stars Great mount for the price
I ordered one of these for my wife because she wanted to mount her 24″ monitor on the wall to free up some disk space. This is a very versatile mount but installation could be a little tricky because it is all one piece. When I mounted it to the desk, it was easy because I placed the monitor on a stack of books set at the desired height. We ordered a 2nd mount to mount a TV in the corner of our dining room. Because it was high off the ground, I had to attach the mount to the wall, then hold the TV up while my wife attached the screws to the back. All in all, great mount for the price, highly recommended!

5 Stars LCD mount
Great product at a great price. Fits the TV perfectly and mounts and adjusts easily.

4 Stars good product & easy to install
Very easy to install and use. The arm and tilt functions work great. Would recommend.

1 Star TV bracket
The thing has no friction to keep it in place, and no locking position to keep from moving. I had to fashion something witha C clamp It was rocking all over in the RV. Next to useless

1 Star DISSATISFIED
The $25 wall mount (can be called an articulating arm) claims to be able to support 33#, both in a horizontal and vertical direction. It could not support my iMac, 24″, weighing 23.5#. The monitor’s weight could not be supported vertically as the flat screen flopped downward to the maximum downward tilt with the the horizontal hinge torqued to its limits. This made the mount unuseable requiring return. The Bretford mount on the Apple site looks similar but cost $129. I returned the flexible tilt mount and purchased a fixed (no tilt) wall mount which worked fine. The inexpensive price proved costly as I paid almost an equal $25 price for the initial shipping $9, the return shipping $9 plus a 15% restocking fee, as per Amazon’s policies.

I can not be sure the weight distribution played a factor, as I doubt the specific product was a defective unit.

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 !!
