4 Stars Very good product
Very sturdy and includes all the hardware that you may need.

The instruction of setting the tilt is lacking clarity! aside from that it was very easy to install.

5 Stars great product
I have purchased 2 of these mounts for a 32 and 40 inch flatscreen. Install was easy. and TV’s look great.

4 Stars Excellent, affordable mount
This wall mount is versatile, fairly easy to install, and very secure for your TV. The mounting instructions are unclear, and it’s easy to make a mistake. But ultimately, with time and patience, a good result is achieved.

4 Stars Nice and sturdy
This is a nice sturdy unit. It was pretty easy to install. It comes with lots of different screws, so finding the ones that fit your TV shouldn’t be a problem. It fit my Insignia 42″ LCD just fine.

4 Stars Solid, well built and sturdy but lacking one nice feature..
I have no complaints about this product. It is well built, easy to understand and install and could easily hold a tv the weight it claims. My only suggestion would be is measure 3 times and drill once because there is no way to adjust for a few degrees off from left to right. Meaning if you make one side slightly taller than the other your tv will be at an angle and the only correction is to pull it off and redrill all the holes at another height.

5 Stars Solid mount.
I purchased this mount for my Panasonic TC-P65V10. The instructions where simple to follow and so was the assembly. Attaching the mount to the tv was straight forward. Hanging the bracket/mount and tv on the wall took little time. I feel extremely secure that the plasma display will not be going anywhere until I take it down. I’m very satisfied with this Sanus wall mount and would recommend this to everyone who wants a well built sturdy mount.

4 Stars Works with 65″ TV with adapter
Needed an adapter to get this to work, but now that I have it together, it works very welll

5 Stars Solid wall mount
This Sanus mount solidly supports a 60 in plasma. Its flexible mounting options allow for many sizes of flat panels. I used the tilt mount & it works great.

4 Stars couldn’t ask for much more but then, I guess I could
Easy to follow instructions and incredibly sturdy. My only complaint would be that my TV must have been in the 2% range in that I was not able to hit three studs AND keep the TV centered on my wall. I’m about 2″ off to the right which 98% of the population won’t even notice but I have to nag about something. Oh yea, it’s really heavy too (see “incredibly sturdy” comment above) so I did need an extra set of hands when bolting it to the wall. I will say this, if you’ve never hung more than a collage of 4 x 6 prints of your kids on the wall, hire someone to hang your TV. There are plenty of home theater installers out there that you can hire to do this and most will have some nice tricks to hide all the wires that still need to be run to the TV. If you’ve bought a nice big plasma or LCD, spend the extra money and get it installed correctly. You’ll be much happier.

5 Stars Sanus TV wall mount
Great sturdy product. Easy to mount only CON is the price. $ 135.00 is a little steep for this wall mount. There are a lot of other brands that are just as good for a lot less.

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 Very Well Made Wall Mount, Somewhat Easy to Install
I purchased two of these mounts for a 50″ and a 60″ Pioneer monitor. The Peerless website was helpful to make sure I choose the correct wall mount model # for these particular monitors. I liked the feature to adjust the screen tilt anywhere between -5 degrees to +15 degrees.

The wall mounts were sturdy and very well made. All parts were neatly packaged and well labeled. The installation instructions were straightforward and relatively easy to follow. It took about 1 hour to install each mount, with most of that time spent on picking a good wall location, deciding on a good mounting height and finding the wall studs using an electronic stud finder. For the best results, make sure that you take the time to fasten the mount to the center of the wall studs and that the mount is perfectly level.

One issue came up that was not addressed in the installation manual. There are two parallel sliding tracks on each bracket that attaches to the TV/monitor. These sliding tracks are used to adjust the screen tilt. The instructions discuss a manual tension adjustment on one of these tracks using a built-in ratchet handle. The tension on the second track was too tight and needed to be adjusted but the instructions did not discuss this. I neded to use a 3mm hex head driver and a small wrench to make this adjustment.

One other minor issue is a reference in the instructions to a screen compatibility chart on the Peerless website that is out of date (June, 2006 was the last update).

Overall, I would recommend this product.

5 Stars Great Mount
Buy 1/4 x 4′ U bolts to mount this thing. I used 7 U bolts and I could hang King Kong off this thing in my drywall. I have a 58′ television and I have absolutely no worries of this television dropping. One flaw in this mount is gaining access to the back of the television once it’s hung. It’s minor though and not enough to draw back from a 5 star rating.

5 Stars Sturdy, easy to adjust
Fairly easy to install, included everything but drill bit. I spent a lot of time looking for a updated mounting for my TV, but it was old. I used a toothpick to measure depth and used a spacer. Don’t waste time with the chart.

Tilt allows adjustment to prevent glare from light overhead. I didn’t think I needed this, but is really needed.

With my TV Samsung 58″, I had 4″ of up/down adjustment.

Requires 2 people to safely tilt. For the safety of the giant sheet of glass, use both hands of 2 people and gently tilt, not twist.

Lot of room to slide sideways after releasing safety screws.

Safety screws are small compared to the rest of the mount, but still more than enough.

5 Stars Great Universal Tilt Wall-Mount
Purchased this wall mount for my Pioneer 60″ plasma monitor. Holds this monitor with no problem. Tilt also works as described. Great product and customer support. Would recommend.

5 Stars Solid construction, spans 3 wall studs
Just wanted to note that this wall mount does just what it says and that it has the huge advantage of being wide enough to be mounted to 3 wall studs. That provides much better support for heavy flat panels AND allows for more precise mounting when the existing stud pattern is not optimal for 2-stud placement. Lastly, the mount’s adjustability is straightforward except that the rotating part that mounts on the panel was so tight, that I needed to use a long screwdriver to pry it and get it to move. Not a big deal once I realized that it was just stubborn and not ill-designed. Very sturdy.
