Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Peerless 32 - 63 Inches Flat Wall MountCustomer Review: A Simple & Effective Low-Profile Mount Summary: 4 Stars
This mount is simple and does its job.
I can't compare to other mounts since this is my first 40"+ two-stud mount I've owned. However, in general, I think the engineering that goes into TV mounts is slim-to-none, and this just so happens to be the best of them.
The good:
The metal wall mount and TV brackets feel solid and sturdy. Peerless includes a whole array of bolts, spacers, and washers. They also include two styles of TV brackets, one for an "ultra" low 1.75" inch and another that is something like 2.5" inches. This is the standoff from the wall, so it is nice that they give you the option. Keep in mind you might need some fancy hdmi cable with a 90 degree bend in the connector if you go with a 1.75" inch standoff. Once the mount is attached to the wall, you simply hang the TV on it; it is straight forward.
The semi-bad:
I have a Samsung LN46A650. Peerless included 16mm, 25mm, and 40mm M8 bolts. I chose to use the spacers on the TV brackets to keep them from scratching the back of my TV. With the spacers, the 25mm bolts were too short to safely secure the brackets to the TV. The 40mm M8 bolts were too long to keep the TV brackets from shifting up and down (they couldn't be tightened completely). That being said, I had to cut the bolts down to 33-35mm and only then did they tighten the brackets to the TV completely. Moreover, the instructions mention that you need two studs 16" apart, but they don't list a maximum distance (or I missed it in the instructions). The reason I cared is that the wall mount is actually long enough that you can attach it to two studs 32" apart. I called technical support and they clarified that it should be a maximum of 24". Lastly, Peerless includes a very long Allen wrench to secure the bottom half of the TV brackets to the wall mount. The problem is that the Allen wrench has a nice long 6" bend for leverage purposes. However, because this is a low-profile mount, you really end up just turning the wrench until that 6" bend hits the wall, and then you have to take the wrench out and meticulously turn the screw. The engineering department should have realized this in testing and supplied an Allen wrench that had a 1 or 2" bend at most. You don't need a lot of leverage; the point isn't to tighten it down, but just to screw it in far enough that you can't pull the bottom of the TV towards you on accident.
Summary:
Affordable and simple. Some engineering oversights add a little frustration, but I can live with it.
