Customer Review: misleading advertisement
Summary: 1 Stars
this add for this wall mount is very misleading claiming it could mount up to 46" flatmount tv's.i think it may do a 36" tops.we bought three and were very disatisfied with the misleading add.i think who ever is making these adds just evaluate what they are selling as they are very misleading.the product itself looked great and was very quick shipping,but the product came no where close to fitting a 42" flatscreen!!Customer Review: NOT FOR LARGE FLAT SCREENS!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This product had the description that said it would fit flat screen TV's up to 46", when in reality, it should only be for small TV's. The holes on the back of my TV were set too far apart for this mount because it is a 42" and needs a more supportive wall mount. We ended up sending it back because it just wouldn't fit. The description shouldn't say it will fit most TV's up to 46" when there's no way it can. The mount felt too lightweight to hold up my 42". Would only be good for small TV's!!! The only redeeming aspect of this mount is that it came with all of the hardware separated out into individual packages, very clearly labeled! That would make installation much faster and more accurate. Don't waste your time or your money if you have a large flat screen! Customer Review: Excellent product

Very easy to install. My husband had it installed and our 37" Tv up and running in about 15 minutes.Customer Review: Universal??? Hardly

Would NOT fit a 37" LG LCD Flat Panel or a Samsung 46" 630 Flat Panel. YMMV. Had to repack and return and end up at a B&M. The vertical pieces are too short.Customer Review: Very good, sturdy mount

I purchased the mount for a 32" Samsung LCD on wood studs (16" on center). The item was well packed to prevent scratches and there was a slew of mounting screws for different makes and models (Peerless actually provides a link to a PDF file hosted on their site: http://www.peerlessmounts.com/1 which gives the screw size for several makes and models of TVs). The instructions say to use the smallest screw first and get at least three full turns - if you use a screw that is too long it can hit the screen....ACK! I just re-read the PDF and it does provide the width, length, and if you need to use a washer. I didn't catch that the first time so I ended up using my own washers on the M6 screws as the provided ones did not fit (I see now because they are not required).
The wall mount lag screws seemed of good quality and fine for my fairly light TV - had this been for a larger TV I may have wanted to get some beefier ones but my buddy mounted his 52" Samsung LCD with the same lag screws and it has not fallen yet ;).
The only ding I would give the product was I felt it was a little expensive for what it is (again, at the price I paid) and as others had mentioned the "security screws" to lock in the bottom of the TV were pretty difficult to get to. Not locking them in makes the TV feel not very secure in the mount. What I ended up doing was using a flexible extension on my drill along with a security Torx bit to tighten them up. I could have done it with the provided tool but you can only turn it 180 degrees before it hits the wall (i.e.: half a turn) and I would still be doing it :).
Pros:
- Holds TV very close to the wall.
- Mount is very sturdy metal.
- Open back provides access for recessed wiring box.
- You can slide the TV all the way to the edge of the mount left or right.
- TV is holding strong.
Cons:
- Directions could be a little clearer.
- Security screws on bottom are necessary for a solid fit, but very difficult to get to.
All in all I would highly recommend this mount, especially at the price it is now ($[...]). I would have given this a 4.5 but since I cannot I am listing it as a 4 (pssst...HEY AMAZON...how about a 1 - 10 star rating???)
