5 Stars Very Sturdy
Mounted our 32″ LCD ILO brand TV on this & it will hold a larger TV with no problem. It is very sturdy & operates smoothly.

During the day, the TV is to the side of our picture window, not blocking the view. We pull it out & over in the evening when we want to watch something. I also love having the TV off the floor!

Flat against the wall, the arm sticks out 7 inches + the depth of the TV (4 inches) for a total of 11 inches from the wall.

If you pull it all the way out, the arm brings the TV out 30 inches from the wall, so the screen of our 4 inch deep TV is 34 inches from the wall.

If you extend it to the right or left, it moves the TV 23 inches to the right or 23 inches to the left.

5 Stars Works as expected, looks great!!
I installed this 3 days ago and it looks wonderful. It took me about 3.5 hours to install by myself. I re-read each section about 4 times carefully to make sure I was doing it correctly. It was straight forward and simple. It sticks out slightly more than I was expecting but to me its worth the compromise to be able to turn it basically anywhere I want to. Wonderful product and looks fantastic!

4 Stars works great once its on the wall…
After the supreme challenge of mounting, the product works great. Best advice is to make yourself a stiff drink on an evening with plenty of time and then begin the hardware assembly and tv mounting. The instructions leave something to be desired, so if you’re not mechanically inclined, it’ll be tough. The other major downside is that the big screws stripped as we were mounting the brackets into the wall, so basically its permanently mounted. However, with the 42″ tv on the wall, it does exactly what it’s supposed to and I have no complaints.

5 Stars Excellent Wall Mount
This Peerless Articulating Wall Mount is a marvel. The Task of mounting the arm to the wall was a breeze for myself. Getting the 40″ TV on the mount is best for a two person lift and place, I did manage it myself though. The motion is fluid and easy to position in so many directions. I did a bit of reading before buying the Peerless brand. All other reviews always wrote about how Peerless includes every length and size of bolt or screw and they do. Also I ran across that many Sony TVs need some type of extra mounting bracket and again Peerless has this covered as well. I would add that for my Sony Bravia having all the patch cords you’ll need installed first before completing the mounting assembly to the TV. As once the bracket and TV is on the wall you’ll not be able to access the panel again.

5 Stars Great Product
I had a very specific requirement. I need around 27″ extendable from wall and this product is perfect fit for my requirement. I just got this wall mount for my 40″ TV. It took me hardly 2 hours to install my TV. If your TV has VESA hole pattern its really easy to install on this mount. I will highly recommend this product to others.

5 Stars HRM-100 Solid and Sturdy
I was a little apprehensive in buying this item on Amazon. I could only find one review on Amazon prior to my purchase. The main complaint of the review was regarding the distance between the wall studs and that fact that this distance was not being spelled out in the specs. However, the review did state that the HRM-100 was “….definitely sturdy.” I couldn’t agree more. The HRM-100 is sturdy as an ox. It is solid steel and built very well. I’m currently using it for a 32″ HDTV. I plan to swap out my TV for a 47″ and I have no concerns regarding the ability of the HRM-100 to support a larger TV. Most homes in the U.S. were built to spec with the studs that are 16 inches apart. So, this should be a non-issue for most buyers. After bolting the HRM-100 to the wall with four huge bolts, I was ready to watch TV. The install was great and directions were sufficient. I recommend this to anyone. I couldn’t believe the price on Amazon compared to other articulating mounts. The HRM-100 was approx 1/2 to 1/3 the price of other options. But a lower price definitely did not mean lower quality. I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase.

3 Stars Sturdy, but only works with 16″ studs
I bought this product for my 40″ Samsung Series 5 LCD. Because I was planning to upgrade it in the future to a 52″, I went with the larger size. (And the HRM-100 is definitely sturdy.) However, my apartment already has pre-installed TV mount screws at 24″ apart–a stud distance that is not that uncommon. BUT, the Hercules HRM-100 mount only supports a narrow range of 11.75″-18.00″. I would not be upset *had they put this info in the product description*. But they did not, and now I am paying $20 to send it back. My $0.02: go with a product that has better explanation in the product description… or know for sure that you have 16″ studs in your walls.
