5 Stars Great Mount
I purchased this mount for use with my 42″ Samsung LCD tv about six months ago. Overall, I really like the versatility of this mount with the ability to swing a full 180 degrees as well as tilt. Moving the unit away/toward the wall takes a bit more effort than I would have expected, but can be accomplished with one person. The biggest difference I’ve noticed compared to the tilt-only mount I replaced is that the unit sticks out a bit more from the wall when pushed back fully flush. I guess this is to be expected given the two arms and all, but it didn’t occur to me when I bought the mount. Installation went smoothly, but is easier with two people. Also, unless you have a full set of drill bits, plan on buying a large bit to drill pilot holes for the wall anchor bolts, as they are quite large. Although this unit is pricey, in hindsight I wish I had purchased it when I purchased the television because this mount is much more versatile then the basic-tilt models that run between $100-$200.

4 Stars Cuts out a lot of hassle.
I bought this mount a year ago roughly. I had 2 prior to it that were much cheaper, but in the long run ended up being more expensive due to time investment and hassle.

I had one small issue with it where the television bracket wasn’t tight enough and caused rotation once it was hung, fixed it by tightening up and have had no issues since.

It holds my TV without sagging even at full extension, I appreciate a product that does what it says it can.

I took off one star because of the price and the issue with the rotation, if it had been much more loose it could have caused injury or damage and never mentions this being a source of adjustment.

5 Stars Built like a tank!
I bought this mount last year to hang a 47″ LCD in our bedroom. The wall I installed the mount on had 2 studs running down the middle, so the mount installation was fairly simple. There isn’t too much adjustment/wiggle room left to right with this mount, so wall placement could be somewhat of an issue depending on stud location, but other than that, the mount is a work of art, and solid as a rock. Been using it for over a year, and really like the quality. I can pull the TV out from the wall quite a ways when working on wiring, and the mount handles the TV weight with ease.

This is definitely not a do-it-yourself installation, however if you’ve been impatiently waiting to mount your beast of a television on copious amounts of steel and are really excited to start drilling, then this can be a one man job. I received the product, which arrives in an enormous box, with a set of instructions in more languages the the United Nations could even comprehend. However, the install was acutally fairly uneventful and reasonably facile. If you’re mounting to steel beams, then beware, because most likely you will need washers, as the bolts provided have threads which stop about 1.5 cm from the top.

When it comes time to mount the television, and you’re feeling like Lou Ferrigno circa 1978, then you’ll be able to lift that LCD (probably not a plasma) up onto the bolts and BAM!!! You’re done. Overall, easy install, great looking product and perfect for those situations when a table top tv is so last season.

This product is nearly perfect. I downloaded the instructions and reviewed them before I purchasd the item so I knew what I was getting into. I ordered the UCL-XP instead of the UCL-XB thinking that was the black one. I actually like the Platinum color better. The last digit in the model number denotes color. I put the unit up in less than a couple of hours including breaks. The template lays out the mounting positioning very well, deciding how high I needed to place this mount took about as long as putting it up. Leveling is very important, although you do have a little play either way. I placed the mount near a corner for total room viewing and it does not disappoint. At this time I have not used the built-in cable runs so I cannot comment on their usefulness, Im still trying different hookups on the back of the TV. This unit looks gorgeous and my 50″ plasma seems to float in the air. If I ever upgrade to a larger flat panel, this mount will handle it no problem.
