I bought a 50" Plasma and decided it would be best on my wall. I went looking through stores and found higher prices than this one and bulkier designs.

I love the articulating arms!! I can pull it away from the wall to access the wires, etc. and adjust the left to right tilt for best viewing. It seems very sturdy and has worked great for me the last six months.

It was easy enough to mount to the wall but if you are not good with tools seek experienced assistance. You will need someone to hold it up for you unless you are good at this sort of thing. The hardest part was hanging the TV and that was only due to the weight of it.


Note: Make sure you have wall studs with 16" centers if mounting to drywall!! I bought it not realizing I had 24" centers on that one wall. This caused me to mount it to a steel plate so it could get anchored to the studs (The 50" TV weighed 125lbs!!)

WOW. I bought a cheetah mount that only tilts for my 52" SAMSUNG LCD TV. But the configuration of my living room/kitchen area had me thinking I'd rather go with an articulating wall mount, so I can turn it if I'm cooking or if I have people over on the sectional sofa I can turn it that (the opposite) way. So I bought this puppy (I kept the other tilting-only mount for my bedroom LCD TV which I haven't purchased yet). After taxes and S&H, it came out to $106. A similar product at BestBuy and hhgregg costs well over $300 (bestbuy has some that articulate and tilt that are up to $750!!!)

I'm a civil engineer, I work on designing things as a career. When I opened the box and saw the structural bulk of this thing, I was very impressed. I knew my brand new TV would be secure hanging from this thing. It came with a BUNCH of extra hardware in case you needed to use it (I ended up... Read more

Bought this mount for a Samsung LN46A750 46-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color also purchased at Amazon.

I was impressed with the sheer weight of this mount as it weighs nearly as much as the TV I mounted to it. It left me with the impression it could hold what it claims (165 lbs.). I weigh around 260 lbs. and leaned heavily on the empty mount after I put it on the wall (before attaching TV) and it didn't budge.

Its appearance is somewhat stylish for what it is. I have it tilted out fairly well so there is quite a bit showing to any who enter the room, yet it blends w/ the back of the TV and looks professional.

The instructions were a bit flaky, but it got the point across as I was able to mount it and this was the first time I have installed a wall mount. Although, I do consider... Read more

Very nice item, solid design, feels like you can hang a very heavy monitor on it without any issues.

Couple of odd things, there is some play in hinges, though the bolts have been tightened pretty tight, it feels like the holes are bigger than they need to be. So, you are either making it so tight it won't move, or give it a reasonable tension, and end up with some play.

The monitor tends to hang down maybe 5 degrees, slight thing but it cannot be corrected easy by moving the monitor without unbolting it and adjusting the one bolt on the plate.

The bag package seemed to show rust, but once removed no rust was found. Seems strange, maybe the pain reacts with a plastic in some odd way.

I did not use hardware provided, but spent $10 on custom high grade hardware, and it works very well.

After some use, I see some pain/plastic shavings falling from the hinge at the wall plate. Hope it is just breaking in, and won't start... Read more

Priced these all over town, and most ran about half the price of our dang flat-screen! Ordered this one based on the reviews, deciding to just take a chance. What a pay-off! Excellent product. Yes, you most likely will have to invest in a couple of better screws for sturdier mounting (and peace of mind), but that adjustment won't cost you more than a few cents. Complete installation, start to finish, including plugging in TV, was less than 30 minutes! Another excellent product, Amazon! You continue to impress me and keep me coming back. Thanks again.

Ordered item without having seen the actual mount based on reviews and specification. I was impressed with the over all quality of the mount. It was easy to install, the visual (non written) instructions were easy to follow. Tthe mount was a snap to fasten to the wall. Same for attaching the mounting bracket to the rear of the 42" LG lcd television.

Getting the television on the wall mounted bracket was simple.

Overall very impressed; especialy for the reasonable price.

I hung a 42" LG TV and it was fine. I took great care to get all the bolts into the stud.
Since the bracket is about the same width as a stud. Be very careful to get this done properly.
The arm extends fully and this puts the TV far from the wall.

It is a quality mount with lots of screws and brackets that allows it to adapt to a number of different size TVs

I would use it again, but take the time and care to install properly.
