5 Stars Sanus Articulating TV Wall Mount
Sanus makes the superior product in this class of goods. All is very well constructed, the holes all fit the TV perfectly, it seems very secure when mounted on the wall, and the extensioin and tilt is exactly as advertised for the 40″ Sony TV I installed in my office. I recommend this product without equivacation.

3 Stars VM-400B mine is not straight – no really
Note: Mounted this Wall Mount in the corner of a room.

Swinging TV to one side results in TV tilt to left side. Swinging TV to opposite side results in TV tilt to right side. TV is balanced if TV mount is in between the two side walls (aka – in the middle). I got the TV Wall Mount perfectly mounted and aligned vertically, but got a TV mount swing-arm that has an error that can be seen (TV is crooked!) after shifting the TV from one side-wall to the other side-wall. The tilt is slight, but enuf to really notice. What a bummer, because I had plans to use the TV in both positions (left wall verses right wall) during different times. Also used a 400 x 200 Sanus adapter plate (MA1A-B1), but using this adapter has nothing to do with the error described here.

5 Stars Well made, easy to install
I used this braket to hang a 32inch flat screen. It was very easy and the construction of the mount was excellent. One point to bare in mind is that the center of the tv ends up being 3.5 inches offset from the center of the wall mount due to the folding pattern of the arm. So the stud needs to be 3.5 inches to the left of TV Center line.

4 Stars Good mount but check if adaptors are required
The mount is sturdy and robust and pretty easy to install although I have some issues with the TV Compatability as shown on the Sanus website. Before purchasing I used the Sanus site to confirm that this mount worked with my TV and it indicated that it did but an adapter was required. I purchased the additional adaptor but when the mount arrived the adaptor was included. According to the manufacturer the adapter is only included in newer production but I was still faced with returning an unneeded adaptor and incurring the shipping charges. In addition, although Sanus provided three different sizes of screws with the mount none of them was the right size for my TV so I needed to make a trip to the harware store to complete the installation.

5 Stars Works Perfectly!
This TV Mount works perfectly. We have a 32″ LCD Samsung and it looks great on this mount. It feels sturdy and it hasn’t fallen, or even moved, with the amount of times I have bumped my head on the TV. LOL!

Definitely recommend this product! Will buy another when ready for the next TV.

5 Stars TILT SWING ARM WALL MOUNT FOR LCD/PLASMA TV & COMP.MONITOR
EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO MOUNT A 20″ COMP. FLAT PANEL MONITOR IN MY RV.

DOUBLE SWING ARM AND TILT LETS YOU MOVE IT WHERE YOU NEED WHETHER IT’S TO WORK WITH OR TO SWING IT OUT OF THE WAY FOR STORAGE.

AND THE PRICE CAN’T BE BEAT ANYWHERE.

4 Stars Works well, but doesn’t fit all TVs
The swing arm is sturdy. It fits many standard screw patterns. It has worked flawlessly since I installed it. The plastic cover that goes over the metal was a pain and required some modifications to get it to work in my situation, but worked and looks nice.

Installing the swing arm into the wall turned out to be an adventure. There were no studs behind the wall where I wanted to mount it, and the screw mounts sent with the unit just pulled out once a little weight was applied. You can solve this two ways – use a bit of plywood that can be attached to wall studs, or use some large drywall screws that are used to hang plants and such. I used the drywall screws as I didn’t want to try and hide a hunk of plywood. I had to drill 3 good sized holes, but they are hidden behind the swingarm wall mount. It turned out sturdy and secure.

The one other issue I ran into was I ended up replacing the orginal TV I bought with the swingarm. The new TV advertised they were mounting VESA compliant and yes, the screws did match up – But the TV mount bracket covered up the cable TV connection. Out came the drill and a metal bit, and a few minutes later They cable ran right through the mounting bracket just fine. The lesson here is just because the screws line up (VESA Compliant) does NOT mean the TV will be easy to mount.

When you buy a flat screen to be mounted, look to be sure the cable connection and other important connectors are point down, to the side, or up – but NOT straight back.

The addition of a swingarm TV to the front office was a nice touch – much appreciated by my wife. This hardware gets a recommend – with caution on the mating of the right TV.

4 Stars GOOD QUALITY!
I have no room on my kitchen counter for a tv, so I looked into wall mounting, and this one gave me alot of options. I love it!

5 Stars review
Works well… very sturdy. Short swing arm (6-8inches), but perfect for what I was looking for. Great price too.

5 Stars Satisfied Customer
I purchased this wall mount after much research on the internet. I was impressed with the ease of installation. It works very well with our 26 inch HDTV. My only suggestion for improvement would be to provide hex headed, (lag) screws for mounting to the wall studs instead of phillips headed screws.

5 Stars VERY good product
i did my “homework” so let me save you some time.

this is a VERY solid wall mount,easily adjustable and after finding the stud in the wall you’ll have your TV mounted in under 1/2 an hour.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

i used mine on a 32″ LG and the included bracket would easily accomadate

a much larger TV
