Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Peerless Articulating Wall Mount For Up To 22" Display - Vesa 75/100MM (Silver)
Customer Review: Good value for the money.
Summary: 4 Stars
I am using this with a Dell 1901FP (19" LCD). I found the mount easy-to-use, and sturdy enough for this size. I would hesitate in using it for anything over 20", but that's just me.
Swivel and movements were smooth. Instructions were easy enough, although it didn't make clear that spacers needed to be used on the top part of the VESA mount, but it was easy enough to figure out. All hardware was included to insure a trouble-free installation.
Includes "guides" along the arm for securing cables. To add a nicer and more organized touch, visit your local Radio Shack and purchase 3/4" cable tubing. Route the tubing along the arm, allowing enough room for extending the arm, and then use black tie wraps for securing the tubing to the arm. It will make your installation a lot neater and professional looking. Since I had four cable to hide (DVI, VGA, USB, Power), the tubing came in handy. I use the monitor with two computers, hence the VGA and DVI options. I have uploaded a photo to help understand how I did this.
I would purchase this item again, the price and features make it just about perfect for small LCDs. Lastly though, the photo pictured here is different than the mount I received. I'm not sure if they have recently changed this model. See my photo for the mount I received from Amazon.
Customer Review: A great adjustable wall mount
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this wall mount after buying two lesser expensive mounts at WM. I was hoping to save some money as I wanted to hang my 19" Polaroid TV in my daughter's room. Because of the power and cable cords attached to the TV, I needed a wall mount that could move away from the wall at least 5"-6". Also, any LCD TV suffer from viewing angles, so I also needed a wall mount that allowed the TV to be tilted forward.
This wall mount did all that, and for the price of crappy wall mount from WM. The unit attaches with only two screws directly into a stud (I recommend using your own screws since the ones packaged with the wall mount are never great quality). This mount does come with everything you need to hang it on the wall. The one problem is attaching the TV mount back onto the adjustable arm since it requires you to hold the TV in place as you thread a screw attaching both parts. Since this mount is made for TVs less than 25 lbs, it shouldn't be too difficult but a second person would make it a lot easier. The TV is easily adjustable up or down, side to side, and close or far away from the wall. Two hands is always recommended, but the TV can easily be adjusted with one hand.
I will buy another mount when I buy another small LCD TV.
Customer Review: Great mount, get your own screws...
Summary: 3 Stars
This mount is nice. It's sturdy and not too stiff. No monitor sag on my 19 inch computer monitor. It was easy to attach to the wall... but attaching the monitor is another story. WARNING Do not use the provided screws to attach the monitor to the mount. For one they are two long, while tightening one down it was still 1/8 of an inch from being tight and just by hand tightening the screw it sheered in half. I could not get the other half out of the back of my monitor. Stupid me i thought that it was just that one screw and the monitor would be ok with only 3. While i tightened the next one... the same thing happened. I didn't apply much pressure at all. I had two screws filling the holes on the back of my monitor. I had to run to home depot, get a 5-64ths drill bit and a reverse threaded bit. Drill i hole into the back of the tiny screw, worrying about pushing to hard(you need a lot of force to drill threw the screws) and ruining my screen. Then once i had the hole use the bit to remove the screw. I got both out and used the screws that were holding the origional base to my monitor, those worked perfectly. It took about an hour an a half to get the screws out and then mounted. Overall i would recomend this mount but GET BETTER SCREWS!Customer Review: Excellent Product, One Small Issue
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit is solid and very well made. THe mounting flange mates perfectly with my NEC 20" LCD monitor and the included screws fit as they should. In a few minutes I got my desk back! What's strange about this unit however is that even after I used a carpenter's level to mark the placement of the mounting holes on the wall, I found that the LCD is still not level when the entire setup is assembled. This means remounting the whole assembly at once rather than the mount and then the monitor (which is what the instructions show). This seems needlessly inefficient and a little precarious since the monitor and mounting hardware are all hanging by one screw while it's being done. Some users may not even worry about the screen not being level, but mine is mounted in front of picture frames and the out-of-level condition is conspicuous by comparison. (Dry wall anchors are included with the unit, but I strongly suggest not using them; find a wall stud and mount it right. Correction: these are concrete anchors, not for drywall. My concern is that someone might use them in drywall instead of screwing directly into a stud, which would be unfortunate to say the least when the screen hits the floor.)Customer Review: Peerless Articulating Wall Mount
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a beautifully made product with one exception, the mounting bracket that attaches to the TV will not / does not support the weight of the television. I am extremely particular about things like this being level, etc. After installing the Peerless Articulating Wall Mount, I attached a 19" flat screen TV and watched the TV slowly (and ever so painfully) move its perfectly level screen down towards the floor. NO amount of tighten would prevent the TV from looking at my carpeting.
I called Peerless about the problem and one of their engineers told me that a large shipment of wall mounts had gotten into the country and had bypassed their (Peerless's) quality control. In all fairness, Peerless said they would replace the Mount but I had already developed a workaround for the problem and didn't want to tear-up my installation.
Please be aware that this or any other mount of this type exerts enormous sheer pressure at the wall where the mount arm is connected. I opened up the wall behind the Articulating Wall Mount and installed 2 x 4's then used lag screws to secure the mount to the wall to support the assembly.
