Customer Review: You Could Hang A Small Car Off This Thing...
Summary: 5 Stars
The local stores only had wall arms in silver, and I wanted black. So, off to the internet.
(Once again Amazon comes through. "You want black? Here, we got all these brands in black." Go Amazon!)
This thing is far heavier than it looks, and structurally can support a HUGE amount of weight, which is what you want if you're talking about swinging out an $800 flat screen from the wall. The manufacturer gives you mounting screws for literally every last conceivable type of flat screen, as well as a set of really deep wall mounting wood screws in a matching black finish. Find your wall stud, pick your height, fire up the power driver, level it vertically, and it's in!
Pluses: Channels top and bottom on the arm guide and hide whatever cables and wires that lead from the monitor, a thoughtful detail you don't see on a lot of other units. There's monitor tilt of course. And yes, it will fold flat, and I do mean FLAT, against the wall, meaning that you have unlimited degrees of freedom with regards to monitor placement and viewing.
An excellent, handsome, rugged, well thought-out, and well manufactured unit.
Buy it!!
Customer Review: Strong and easy to install...great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this for our new 32" Philips LCD flat panel HDTV. Unfortunately, we didn't have the proper type of wall to mount it on, yet we managed to do so, and it's absolutely incredible. The arm is mounted on a basement wall, which has 2" of styrofoam over cement block, then the knotty pine on top of that. There are 2" wood strips glued and nailed to the block wall. The screws that came with the unit do not enter the block wall; they only reach through the knotty pine, and then into the 2" stud. I suppose we could have purchased longer screws, but we decided to chance it, since there is at least 2.5" of wood to bore into. If we see that it's getting loose as we pull the TV in and out, then we'll go to plan B. Well, it's been a month or so, and this TV gets pulled out, tilted, turned the opposite way, and there is no jiggle in the fittings on the wall bracket. The arm is strong and firm, and it works just great! It took maybe 1/2 hour to put the TV plate on, plus drill the holes for the bracket. Very simple, and very well made. The only thing I would mention is that the mounting bracket is slightly off center from the actual middle of the TV. Therefore, allow for this when installing.Customer Review: Pleasantly surprised

After having a heart attack at the prices for mounts--especially articulating wall mounts--I made the plunge and bought this dandy to hold my Toshiba 37" LCD tv. I didn't see anything on the website that indicates how much it would hold, but when I received it the instructions say it can support 80lbs.
After seeing the experience my neighbor went through with setting up the mount for his plasma tv, and a friend who set up his lcd tv with a wall mount, I was expecting the worst. My fears were unfounded. Took maybe a half-hour from start to finish and that was mostly trying to screw the wood screws into the stud (hint: use slightly larger drill bit, and you're still going to need a ratcheting screwdriver to finish it off when the drill won't screw it in anymore).
What was even more surprising was the ease with which the LCD tv fell into its bracket. We picked it up and it slid right in, each bracket resting comfortably and correctly within it. My friend and I looked at each other for a moment 'cause there was no way it was that easy. But apparently it was.
It's been almost a week and the tv hasn't fallen off the wall...so far so good.
Customer Review: A Cheap, But Strong Solution To Mounting a Flat Panel HDTV
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this mount for a Samsung LNT3253H, 32" HDTV and it worked just fine. We wanted to mount the TV near a corner and only a single brace mount would accommodate our installation plans. This mount affords the maximum in flexibility for moving and angling your HDTV into the position you want it. It even includes some ability to tilt the TV up or down.
Installation was fairly straightforward. As many have noted, be sure your mounting screws are in the center of the stud! Check and recheck before drilling the guide holes and use the guide holes to test that you aren't on the edge of the stud. This mount has only one bracket with two screws to hold up your HDTV. It will easily hold up a 40" wide screen LCD HDTV if properly installed. But, if the screw connections aren't solid in the stud, the weight of the HDTV when extended on the arm could bring the whole thing down. The screws are tough to get fully seated and you should definitely have a helper when putting in the screws and when mounting the HDTV onto the articulating arm.
Alternatives to this mount cost twice the price or more and few provide the single mount arrangement. No regrets here!
Customer Review: Excellent Wall Mount
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the peerless wall mount SA740P for over four months now. The mount is strong and well built. Very happy with the flexibility of the mount - 4 joint movement: 3 joints allow to you to move the LCD 180 degrees (or almost 180) horizontal along the wall, the fourth joint allows you move the LCD 20 degrees vertical along the wall.
I am using a Samsung LCD 32 in for my mount. The weight of my LCD is approx 25 lbs and the mount handles it extremely well. The mount is rated to handle upto 60 lbs but I have not tried that weight. I did, however, hang dumbbells weighing 30 lbs on it for a week before I attached my TV.
The mount was exactly what I was looking for. Very satisfied so far.
Cons: The mount is held on the wall with two screws that come in the box. The instructions ask you to drill a hole using 5/32 drill bit (I think). The drill bit size is set such that the screw is tight for the hole and holds well, however, I was unable to screw in the screw in the hole and stripped the screw as well. I had to go buy new screws and had to drill a bigger hole 3/16. The mount is stable though.
