5 Stars This one did the trick, Aquos has an odd mount patern
Bought a mount and a new Aquos. the vesa standard mount patterns are 100, 200, 400 mm, ect. this Aquos TV I bought is 440. So, I had to get a universal mount. I works great and is very well constructed, great hardware kit included and ok instructions. I had it up in a matter of minutes. How cool to have the tv on the wall.

5 Stars Best/stongest mount there is!
As a structural engineer I have had to specify TV mounts for health care facilities I have designed in the state of California. Peerless is one of the few manufacturers to have tested mounts for seismic forces and provide pre-approved details (disclaimer: I do not believe they have this certification for this particular mount but generally lighter pieces of equipment do not require it). This gave me confidence in buying from their product line. I know from installing this and the larger version for 52″ flat panel that these mounts support quite a bit of weight, provided you get the lag screws into the center of your wood wall studs. I recommend that after you find the stud (using a stud finder, rare earth magnet, whatever you prefer) you take a small finish nail and poke it through the drywall at several locations to get the exact width extents of the stud. Your mount will cover the small holes and doing so will get you more capacity than ever necessary for an LCD (I hung off my larger one prior to putting the TV on it, 200lbs!!).

This particular mount has a zero-force tilt mechanism, meaning the TV is balanced and will not tilt down by itself when the adjustment levers are loosened. It is easy to tilt the TV up (for somewhat better access to cabling) or down as required. I prefer the mounts with the secure Allen wrench screws, which this model has (the other PT models have regular screws). The kit comes with the necessary tool for these and it is the proper length to reach behind the TV depending on the mount. It is just another level of security as the TV is not coming off the wall without the special tool.

All in all a great mount, very sturdy, and straight forward installation. Well worth the cost when bought at online prices.

5 Stars Good solid product
This is a good solid wall mount. It was easy to install and my TV (32″ Flat LCD) mounted perfectly.

4 Stars Excellent product
Excellent product, easily handles the weight it’s rated for. Comes with plenty of different size bolts to use with almost any application but the package did not have a washer large enough for the screws I used.

1 Star This mount does not fit my 42″ Phillips LCD even though it says that it fits 23″ to 46″ models
I bought this wall mount for my 42″ Phillips LCD TV and 15 minutes later, I decided to find out what hardware came with the mount so I could purchase anything that I might need to buy before the item was delivered. I went to the manufacturer’s website and discovered that this model will not work with my TV: I ned a different model. I immediately contacted Amazon and got the usual customer assistance located in India. they may be able to speak the correct words in English but they sure as hell don’t understand what you’re saying most of the time. They informed me that the item was already being prepared for shipment and that I would have to refuse the package when it arrived from UPS since I could not cancel the order. This makes no sense to me since I called within 20 minutes of placing the order and they had not shipped the item yet. So, I sent an email to Amazon and received a response from someone in India saying the same thing that the man in India had told me. Five days later, the item shipped and it will arrive tomorrow. So now, I have to return the item (at no expense to me) to Amazon and get my credit card credited back because Amazon has this idiotic way of doing things where you can’t cancel the order after you place the order. Yes, I’m not out any money but it’s aggravating, none the less. Moral of the story: Make sure that the wall mount will fit your tv by going to the manufacturer’s site before you buy. DO NOT rely on the description from Amazon because in my case, it was incorrect.

5 Stars Good Mount
This is a good, inexpensive mount. It is wide enough room to move it horizontally to accommodate the stud position. Installation was straight forward. The mount places the TV far enough away from the wall as to not interfere with cords. One should plug in all connections before mounting the TV to the bracket because it is very difficult after it is on the wall. Again, good mount for the money.

5 Stars excellent mount, issue with tilting
This mount is great, easy to install and very sturdy. Had a problem getting it to tilt. Had to break off 2 bars that were going through the tilt arms. Once those were gone, it worked fine. Good price also for a high quality mount.

4 Stars LOOSEN HEX SCREWS TO USE ANGLE FEATURE!!!!
Good product when it was finally up…you must loosen the small hex screws (with bolt) in order to use the angle feature. This is not shown in the procedure to install. It took me forever to figure this out and I only did because I read another review on Amazon…

4 Stars Good value in a strong flush mount
This is a great value on a mid-size, heavy duty wall mount. I paid $70 inc. shipping. I mounted a 32″ Sharp using this mount…a little overkill but I wanted to be able to go up in tv size in the future. Installation was pretty easy. I did it alone. I rate myself as fairly handy at this type of thing. Still, drill some holes, screw in a few screws and your done. A helper would make it go a little quicker. The mount is very solid and secure when intalled into wall studs. The instructions could have been a little clearer, but what do you expect. I used the pictures as reference. That was a much better approach than the written instructions. TV mounts very close to the wall (about 1.5″ clearance). Loosen two set screws and you can adjust tilt or remove TV from the wall.

Unless you have side hookups, make your cable connections before you hang the tv. Adjusting the tilt takes a little doing…there are set screws, so you can’t just adjust at will. Make sure you put the super long “security allen” wrench they give you in a safe place and remember where it is because you will need it to make adjustments. It has a hole in the end and a regular allen wrench won’t do. It came with a bunch of different size bolts to accomodate various televisions. Check the manufacturers website to find which mount is best for your tv. It will give you multiple choices. www.peerlessmounts.com Use the Mount Finder on the left.

I would definitely recommend this mount for anyone wanting a flush mounted screen.

5 Stars Does it get easier?
First off, Amazon is amazing. Ordered this on a Monday night and had it at my door Thursday afternoon. Great job!

As for the mount, what’s not to like? It’s solid. It’s easy to install. They include instructions in the box but I don’t have a clue what they where all about because I didn’t read them. If fact, if you need instructions to install this wall mount then you probably shouldn’t breed and contaminate the gene pool. Your offspring will just grow up to be equally inept at accomplishing simple tasks as you lack the life skills to pass on to them. There are far too many people in this world who can’t change a car tire and we don’t need a whole lot more who can’t screw a tv mount to a wall.

Another great thing about this wall mount is the price. I was looking at wall mounts in a large chain electronic store and the salesman was trying to sell me a mount that did the exact same thing as this Peerless one, only it cost three times as much. THREE TIMES!!! Same thing; different brand. I calmly explained to the salesman that for that kind of money, I usually would expect some sort of sexual gratification in addition to the wall mount. Unfortunately for him, I don’t swing like that and told him that perhaps he would like to find a female employee to handle the “other part” of our business transaction. The next thing I know, some guy calling himself the “store manager” is asking me to leave! Well how do you like that! They want to charge nearly two bills for their tilting wall mount but won’t stand behind their high prices. Or let me stand behind their female employees, as it were.

So in conclusion, if you’re looking for a reasonably priced universal tilting wall mount for flat screen televisions, this is an excellent choice. And if you can’t hang this mount yourself without instructions, please don’t have children. And if you already have children, don’t let them work in electronic stores unless they believe in what they sell. I mean really believe in it.

5 Stars Nice Mount
This mounts holds a 40″ Samsung. I have 3 Peerless mounts and all of them are top notch. It can tilt up and down. Mount it on two studs. When you hang the TV onto the mount, you can slide it left or right to center it on the wall. Go to Peerless website to see if this mount will work with your TV.

4 Stars Good mount, instructions need help
The Peerless mount worked well with the Samsung 32″ LCD it was mated with. The 15 degree tilt down angle was perfect for our viewing location, allowing a straight on view of the display. All necessary hardware was included, and then some. The only fault found was with the instructions omission of an important detail concerning the tilting feature. I found no mention of the steel pin in each adaptor bracket that must be removed to allow tilting. The pin in each bracket is located three inches below the rachet handle. Removing the end cap on the pins to allow their removal takes a bit of doing. After removing and setting aside the pins everything worked as advertised. I hope this helps make your install go a bit smoother.

4 Stars Peerless ST640P Universal Tilt Wall Mount for 23″ to 46″ Screens
This mount worked perfectly with my 32″ Sony LCD HDTV. Easy to install.

Peerless ST640P Universal Tilt Wall Mount For 23″ To 46″ Screens

5 Stars Universal is right!
I had serious reservations buying any of these TV mounts. My new TV was the overdue splurge of the year. I knew I wanted the rated capacity to be 2-3 times the weight of the unit but I didn’t want a ton of visible hardware. This one really worked out. It’s a solid unit with decent instructions (that I didn’t use) and respectable packaging (organized by size). I’m not sure what the deal with the plastic inserts that go into the studs (?!?!) are but I saw them as a weak link and moved right on to drilling pilot holes appropriate for the lags into the studs (about 3/16″). Yeay, I have a TV!

5 Stars tv mount
This tv mount works great. I wanted to have the wires in the wall with an outlet behind the mount and this worked out fine. We really love our new setup
