Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Peerless SA740P Articulating LCD Wall Mount for 22-40" LCD Screens (Black)
Customer Review: Awesome but could be more secure
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to go with a beautiful Samsung 23" LCD HDTV which I also purchased from Amazon - they come as a pair, don't fool yourself by waiting a week to order the mount.
This is attached to the column between two windows in my room and survived tremors here in SF from an Oakland 4.2 earthquake last night. I am a bit concerned that the plate which screws into the TV just sits on the arm with a couple of clips, and doesn't attach very securely. I'm not sure I can shake it loose without touching the TV itself, though shaking the entire wall might do it, and if I bump the TV from the bottom, say when trying to move furniture or even a bundle of laundry, it could easily bite the dust.
I think zipties will do for a temporary solution, but suspect that it will take a lot of time investment for me to come up with something that can be easily removed - it does still sit on its' factory stand with the plate attached.
Also, the plate which attaches covers a lot of my inputs. I don't know whose fault this is or if it's just something that people live with, but it seems silly to have all those great plugs and have a mounting plate over them. My TV could probably stand to have more holes, so take this criticism with a grain of salt.
All in all, I really do love it, and as long as my TV doesn't fall off during an earthquake or a bout of sunday afternoon cleaning, it will retain a four stars rating!
Definitely don't get a cheaper one, if you ask me.

Product Pro: This mount is heavy and sturdy. Best of all, not only are the pieces solid, but the joints attaching each of the pieces feel smooth and secure. It's designed so that once you articulate the arm, it stays where you want it to stay. The TV wasn't directly at the foot of the bed, so the fact that this articulated in all direction and at a low price, sold me.
Product Con: Nothing really, except for the fact that this entire thing is held up by 2 screws. That makes installation simple, but it took me a while to not worry about it.
Installation Pro: Easy two screws. The attachment to the TV was a series of 4 screws and the bracket fits perfectly. On the wall, just make sure you make the pilot holes deep. Mounting the TV was so easy that I was doubtful the two brackets were actually aligned and hooked up, so I refused to let go.
Installation Con: The screws that mounts to the wall had a hard time digging into the stud. Seems like other screws I've used had sharper edges which made it easier to just drill into the wall. I ended up having to take the screws back out and drill bigger and deeper holes just because I didn't want to end up stripping the screw head or even breaking it off.
Overall, price, quality, and the ability to articulate the LCD in all direction got me to give this a 5 star. Peerless just won me over, that I am getting there glass shelves (PM610G), which I'll mount beneath the TV. All matching color.
Customer Review: Peerless Articulating Arm Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my peerless articulating arm for about a month now. Upon delivery, it became apparent that this arm was heavy duty and good quality. The 3 hinges each give smooth movement...effortlessly. I, personally am glad i didn't opt for a static mount...this Peerless offers an amazing amount of versatility as far as viewing angles are concerned. Being able to view your tv from different angles/areas of any given room is like having more than one tv. No more bad necks! Mounting to a stud was very easy. I would recommend using an 'edge to edge stud-finder'. This will ensure you have a solid anchor to it. I would like to point out that the part of the peerless that you mount to the wall lays a fair few inches off center from the back of the TV, so you might want to compensate for that if you have marked the area of the wall you want the tv to be central to. Another tip you might find helpful is to stick some of those little black pads to the back corners of the tv. This helped me, because I noticed that it is possible to knock the bottom left and right of the tv against the wall. My Peerless is for 32"-40" LCD TVs and with the included VESA universal mount plate, my Samsung 40" LCD TV fit perfectly. At first you will be worried that your tv will hold...but a friend of mine who has done alot of mounting for customers assured me that it's not going anywhere!!! Efficient delivery time. Very happy with purchase. Recommended.Customer Review: Won't be disappointed with this Peerless Mount
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished installing this mount for my 32" Sony LCD, and I am very happy with my selection. After looking at dozens of mounts online, this one stood out right away for its aesthetics and clean lines. I saw many articulating arms in the $200+ range that appeared to be over engineered and frankly were not as clean as this peerless mount.
It was very easy to install the single stud mounting system, once I was able to find the stud. The screws it comes with are definitely heavy duty, and my only hang up was being able to screw them in all the way. Had to MacGyver it with a drill screw bit and a wrench for leverage, but eventually I got it in. Definitely no worries there in the mount being able to support my 32" Sony.
The mount appears to be made very well. Heavy duty and not flimsy. I was also impressed with the fact that there was enough clearance for my 32" tv to rotate 90 degrees either way. A little effort is required to swivel out the TV, but the viewing angle tilt works perfect. As well as the surprising left/right tilt (just in case you mount it slightly crooked - another great surprise).
Of course I've never tried a $400 mounting system. But its hard to imagine one that can do more. Except maybe some kind of featherlight swiveling system.
Great product. Came with all the necessary hardware to mount my Sony VESA compliant TV. Would highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Why Consider Anything Else?
Summary: 5 Stars
As an engineer, I appreciate the challenge of creating a good design. Good design is simple, robust, easy to install and good looking. Hanging my expensive LCD TV on a mount attached to the wall with 2 screws was a little unnerving. But this is a sturdy and well designed mechanical device. The best feature, aside from the simple installation, is the ability to simply position your TV in any location and have it stay precisely where you left it. No thumbscrews or bolts to adjust each blasted angle, looking at the result, readjusting again and again until you are ready to reach for the valium! Just set it and forget it! Can't get better and easier than that! No use even considering another product. Add it to your cart now!
Hint: Buy this mount before you buy your TV, mount it to the wall, run your wiring, so when your spiffy new TV arrives later, it takes you about 5 minutes before you are tuning out the world and marvelling at the wise purchase you made!
Additional Hint: Use the correct size Phillips screwdriver to turn the 2.5 inch screws that attach this to the wall. If you use a screwdriver that has too small a head, you will strip these long screws (they get hard to turn once they are in about 2 inches).
