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

Do not pick the mount by the screen size of your TV. Will This mount Fit my Plasma TV? First check the weight of your TV. It must be less than 135 lbs. Second, look at the back panel of your TV. TheTV has mounting holes on the back of the screen, measure the vertical and horizontal distance between the 2 holes for the wall mount. If the vertical distance is within 2.95 – 18.9 inch, horizontal distance within 30.5 inch, then 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. Third, the width of your TV should be 32″ or above.

3 Stars Not the Best
First of all, the directions for using this mount are useless. It seems as if they had a standard (non-articulating) mount that they realized no one was buying and added the arm to it. The result is instruction that don’t show the arm but just a flat panel mount.

In addition, unlike other similar mounts, the articulating arm piece that attaches to the wall uses 6 screws (2 rows of 3) which makes it impossible for all of the screws to attach to a single stud.

Moreover, when attaching the arm piece to the standard wall piece the giant flat piece of metal is highly visable and unattractive for what I would like to see in a flat panel mount.

To make matters worse, the TV can easily slide from side-to-side on this giant piece of metal, which is not only cumbersome but scary….

1 Star Crawfish
If you plan to use as a fixed screen, then it’s great,

but if you plan on using the articulate, I don’t like it one bit.

I practically gave this unit away. The horizontal piece that is screwed onto the wall (parallel to the floor) and the vertical piece that goes on next is not what I call “secure”. It is the vertical piece that takes actual “pressure” exerted by the weight of the TV and the frame, “NOT” the parallel part. The vertical piece holes are only about err 6 inches apart (left and right) so how the hell do you expect me to screw both sides onto a stud (so only one side will be screwed onto the stud) when most studs are around 16″ apart? You might think that the pressure is partially distributed to the horizontal piece, but it doesn’t (unless you meld the two pieces together, or allow the vertical piece to fit first into the wall, then apply the horizontal piece). This unit is good if you have studs that fit perfectly on the vertical bar, or mount it outside like on concrete or something where you don’t have to worry about studs.

3 Stars Flawed But Functional

This is obviously a lot cheaper than most rotating wall mounts for large flat screen TVs. To some extent, you get what you pay for, but it works reasonably well. Installation is a bit challenging due to poorly translated instructions (lots of references to “wind” nuts, which you might think means wing nuts, but there are no wing nuts). Overall, not really high quality materials or engineering either. (One of the the lag bolts broke off in my wall, but I think I’m OK with the other 7.) In particular, be aware that this unit does tend to bend a little forward, maybe 5-10 degrees, due to the weight of the TV – I managed to offset this with some washers. I was only mounting a 37″ LCD, this tilt will probably be worse with a bigger/heavier TV.

But, all things considered, at a cost of 1/3 – 1/4 of other similar mounts, not a bad deal. It doesn’t have the rotational arc of some units, but it’s plenty for most applications. Despite the design deficiencies, it seems very well secured. Once you get it installed correctly it works well and actually looks pretty good too.

4 Stars All and All good Product
Good product for the price,Delivery time slower than expected,Snapped 2 bolts driving into stud.The only other issue is that We have a 32″Toshiba and the bracket shows from behind because it is meant to fit Larger Screens as well.All and All Good product. Ken, Maine.

4 Stars Just what I wanted
I wanted to mount my LCD TV to the wall, but discovered that the TV I purchased had an unusual mount pattern. I purchased and returned two other wall mounts. This product was perfect.

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.

5 Stars VideoSecu Adj. TV Wall Mount (37″-60″) Saves Lots
The Manufacture’s TV wall mount for their TV was major over priced and so after reading other reviews and the VideoSecu’s specs on their TV wall mount, I decided to go with them. Good choice since I was able to pay more than two hundred dollars less including shipping. This VideoSecu Adjustable TV mount is strong, easy to install and adjust…I’m well satisfied with this purchase…to all this I say…thank you…Ron K from TN.

5 Stars LCD WALL MOUNT
After looking in Best Buy for a wall mount at $129 I thought I would check out Amazon I found this mount and ordered it I could not be happier, it was so easy to mount my 10 year old could have done it.It came with all hardware all different size screws and bolts, mount even had a built in level to ensure straight and level and a 6ft HDMI cacble was include which best buy wanted $80

All for $39 with shipping has to be best deal out there shipping was fast got it in 2 days.I will never buy from a retail store again.

5 Stars Can’t beat for the price, be sure to use hand tools…
In the sea of flat panel wall mounts, I feel we have a gem here. It’s just as nice as the more expensive units, but a fraction of the cost. The bonus of the included HDMI cable is just icing on this lovely cake. I read the reviews of this product before purchasing and found the general opinion to be that the mounting bolts would break if anyone attempted to put up the unit with them. This leads me to believe that they disobeyed the manufactures instructions stating not to use power tools. I installed mine with a wrench (instructions call for 7/16 but 13mm is what fit) and had no issues of any kind. The only point that I would criticize is that when securing the bottom bolts, unless the installer has a very long screwdriver, it will be difficult to properly secure it. But if that’s the most significant worry, it’s not a bad deal. Bottom line: Take your time with installation and you will love your purchase. Thank you for your time.

5 Stars Outstanding
This is an outstanding product at a reasonable price. It’s pretty straight forward installation. Shipped right away and arrived ahead of schedule!

5 Stars Don’t! buy a Bracket or Hdmi Cable at rip-off prices – BUY THIS
Great product, exactly as advertised and reviewed by others here. Easy to mount, clear instructions, nice tilt feature, built-in level eased installation, lots of useful hardware (lag bolts are cheesey, one broke off in the wall, I redrilled in a different spot and used another supplied lag bolt, my 42″ set weighs only 65 lbs, use caution and/or buy better bolts – don’t over tighten or over stress the lag bolts)

Bottom line, you could spend $200 in the store that sells you the TV or buy this for a fraction of the price. Highly Recommended.
