User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Completely satisfied
This is an excellent mount. We wanted to mount our 46″ TV inside of a cabinet where we had about 8″ of depth to work with. This was the shallowest mount that I could find. When you fold it up, it’s about 2″ deep, not including the adapter plate which adds another inch or so. It’s very solidly built but in spite of it’s heavy-duty construction, it is effortless to pull out and swivel (it can sometimes be a little tougher to pop back into the fully-closed position). The installation instructions were thorough and it comes with tons of hardware to work with a variety of sets. You can’t go wrong with this mount.

4 Stars Sturdy, but BIG!!!
Pros

1) Easy to Install

2) Sturdy

3) Articulates nicely (swivel and vertical tilt down) and no fear that TV will fall

4) Piano black finish looks nice

5) Cable Management

Cons

1) Sits farther out from the wall than described. Your TV model may sit even farther out

2) mounting “guts” still visible despite the design

3) cable management designed for in-wall cabling.

Summary – For those looking for a heavy duty articulating mount, this is for you. Price is great from Amazon.

Details

This is a very sturdy mount and installation was pretty easy – I would recommend a helper to hold it, because it’s pretty heavy. Unfortunately, the depth of the product means that your TV will sit more than 4+ inches off the wall, despite the fact that the description says only 2.5. If you have to use the larger mounting brackets, there’s a 6 inch gap between the TV and the wall.

I was looking for a mount that would be somewhat close to the wall and still swivel out for viewing in a different part of the room. I thought this would be good, since the description said it’d only be approx 2 inches off the wall and because of the box that encloses all of the mounting hardware. However, keep in mind that with a 4-6″ gap behind your TV, the vertical brackets and everything is still viewable.

I ended up returning it and simply buying a Peerless flush mount without the articulating arm.

3 Stars Sturdy but has its problems.
Must agree this is a very sturdy little mount, but that pivot arm is just too stiff. Feels like I would yank the TV off the attachment bracket soon. Kind of lame they only include 4 screws for attaching the TV(6 mount points) and those plastic spacers are way too cheesy. If you have a LG DU-42PX12X TV I would suggest a trip to the hardware store.

Now since this mount is for large screens you could expect the wall bracket to spawn more then one stud section. I can see some folks want a tiny mount, but in my case I could care less(recessed into a cabinet). I wanted to have my TV mounted center on one stud, so I ended up first mounting a 1″ solid wood plank across 3 studs and then attaching the mount to that.

5 Stars Perfect Mount for my 42 Plasma
The Peerless SP850 UNLP-GB does everything you want….up, down, left side, right side and various degrees of tilt. The installation instructions were very easy to follow and performed, all the necessary bolts, nuts and screws were in the package….idiot proof installation. In addition, the glossy black finish perfectly matched the finish of my new TH-42PZ85U Panasonic 42″ Plasma TV. So needless to say, this is the perfect mount for any large Plasma or LCD

4 Stars Great Quality–Sturdy–Pay for what you get
I bought this based off my dad’s recommendation…he installs Peerless brand mounts in many government buildings. I am please with how solid and sturdy the product is–I don’t feel that my TV is going anywhere or falling off anywhere. I have a 52″ television and I don’t feel comfortable grabbing the sides and just pulling in and out on the tv to make it come from the wall. The pivot arms seem a little stiff so I sometimes grab behind the television and pull the arms in when putting the TV away—it seems to be easier. Not sure if any type of grease or anything would make it slide easier or if its because of the size of my TV. Definitely happy with the stand and will be another.
