Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Peerless ST670P Tilt Wall Mount for 42" to 71" Displays (Black) Non-security
Customer Review: Very sturdy and well engineered
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this wall mount for a new Pioneer PDP-6010FD 60" plasma flat screen, and can highly recommend this mount. It is engineered and built with superior construction quality, easily holding my plasma TV weighing about 150 pounds (rated up to 250lbs). Mounting the universal bracket to the back of the plasma was extremely easy, just four bolts and washers (provided) that locked down, make for an extremely rigid mounting of the TV onto the bracket.
Since this mount covers televisions up to 71", it should work for most sets, as long as the maximum horizontal distance between the mounting holes is about 35" or less (check the product manual to get the exact maximum distance). The bracket's width and weight handling capacity requires that you mount it onto 3 wall studs, as it is approximately 40" wide. However, this actually helps you with mounting the bracket in a very level manner.
Here is a short narrative of how you go about mounting your TV using this wall mount. First, locate the center stud that will be used as the center mounting point, and use one of the provided lag bolts to mount the bracket on the wall at the desired location, using the topmost center hole on the wall bracket. Now mount your level on top of the bracket and using the installed center bolt as a pivot, rotate one side of the bracket or the other until your level indicates that the mount is perfectly level. Now using a marker pen, mark the two points to be drilled on the left and right outer studs, perfectly centered in the desired mounting holes. Drill the appropriate holes, then screw in the lag bolts, fixing the bracket into a perfectly level position. Now mark, drill for, and mount the remaining 3 bolts (there are six total, two at each end and two in the center mounting positions.)
The final step is to mount your TV onto the wall bracket and secure it. With help from a friend, securely grasp the TV and "hook" it onto the wall bracket. From underneath, reach behind with a standard or phillips head screw driver and secure the lock screw on the bottom of each bracket hook. This final step secures the TV to the wall mount.
I'll tell you, I live in the heart of earthquake county in SoCal, and I fully believe that my house will suffer damage well before this TV comes off the wall in a seismic event.
Overall, this wall mount is well worth every penny. Like always, Amazon comes through with a great product at a good price.
Customer Review: Just Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
The ST670P I received had a manufactured date of January 2010.
I want to thank everyone who commented on this. You all really helped me get this great wall mount!
It has a ratcheting adjustment tension handle so you can adjust it once it's against the wall. I set mine as loose as it would go then put it on the wall. The adjustment was very easy. I then tightend up the tension using the ratcheting handle.
My comments about other comments are as follows:
[D. Spain "Philoguy"]
Can't loosen adjusting knob when it's against the wall. [Mine] has a ratcheting handle to adjust tilt tension.
[Flyboy2610] and [UBHappy]
Loosen Allen head screw to adjust. [Mine] and [Talent Relations "TR"] was hard to adjust when not on the wall. [L. Block] and I used a screw driver as a prybar to get a feel for the adjustment (with tension set on very loose).
[Flyboy2610]
The security screws are difficult to reach. I had the same problem, but with a 2 foot phillips screw driver and a flash light it went smoothly.
[Talent Relations "TR"]
Make the knobs circular. [Mine] has a ratcheting knob. You pull out on it to release and push in to adjust.
[D. Wooten]
Directions are almost useless. [Mine] I had to read and re-read but in the end I was able to follow them.
[1gringoframLA]
Handles prevent adjustment. [Mine] has a ratcheting knob. You pull out on it to release and push in to adjust.
Removed bottom pin. (Removing this pin will decrease tilt range and modify weight it can support) [Mine] and [Talent Relations "TR"] was hard to adjust when not on the wall. [L. Block] and I used a screw driver as a prybar to get a feel for the adjustment (with tension set on very loose).
Customer Review: Very Well Made Wall Mount, Somewhat Easy to Install
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two of these mounts for a 50" and a 60" Pioneer monitor. The Peerless website was helpful to make sure I choose the correct wall mount model # for these particular monitors. I liked the feature to adjust the screen tilt anywhere between -5 degrees to +15 degrees.
The wall mounts were sturdy and very well made. All parts were neatly packaged and well labeled. The installation instructions were straightforward and relatively easy to follow. It took about 1 hour to install each mount, with most of that time spent on picking a good wall location, deciding on a good mounting height and finding the wall studs using an electronic stud finder. For the best results, make sure that you take the time to fasten the mount to the center of the wall studs and that the mount is perfectly level.
One issue came up that was not addressed in the installation manual. There are two parallel sliding tracks on each bracket that attaches to the TV/monitor. These sliding tracks are used to adjust the screen tilt. The instructions discuss a manual tension adjustment on one of these tracks using a built-in ratchet handle. The tension on the second track was too tight and needed to be adjusted but the instructions did not discuss this. I neded to use a 3mm hex head driver and a small wrench to make this adjustment.
One other minor issue is a reference in the instructions to a screen compatibility chart on the Peerless website that is out of date (June, 2006 was the last update).
Overall, I would recommend this product.
Customer Review: OK if you have to mount on three wall studs
Summary: 3 Stars
If you have a large, heavy plasma TV and you need to span three 18" centered wall studs, this is one of your very few choices in the $100-$200 range. It took ordering three different wall mounts before I found this one because the specs on Amazon (and other sites for that matter) are either confusing or flat-out wrong. Most of the time when they give you dimensions, it's the size of the carton that they give rather than the size of the mounting bracket itself. I even contacted a real person at Amazon for the info on my second try and she was just as wrong as I was the first time. Why it's so hard for a company to add a couple of inches to a wall bracket mystifies me, but there are hundreds of $100 mounts that go 30" and only one or two (like this one) that are longer. So, unless you want your $2000 TV dangling precariously 16" over from two studs in your wall, get one that spans more than 36" like this one. The major complaint I have on this particular unit is that the adjusting knob that is supposed to allow you to tilt the screen up or down a bit (handy for getting to cables and such after installation) is designed in such a way that the bracket's proximity to the wall prevents you from loosening it. So once you've got your behemoth screen in place, you're stuck with whatever angle you've set it at. Over all, though, it's a sturdy mount with one main problem, and if you're willing to live with that design flaw--go for it.Customer Review: Well designed, easy to install
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this mount to use behind a Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ80U 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV. It was easy to install on the wall, and the length enabled me to secure it to 3 wall studs. I also used 2 toggle bolts on both the top and bottom rails, but I'm sure it would have been fine without them. It is holding the TV up very well. I have no worries about it coming loose from the wall.
The only things holding it back from 5 stars in my opinion are that the instructions are not real clear as to how to set the tilt angle. I did what they said but the bracket still wouldn't tilt. I figured out that you have to loosen the two small Allen head screws below the tension adjuster. Once I figured that out, it was easy to adjust.
The other issue is that the security screws in the TV brackets are very hard to get to when the TV is on the wall. It took my son and I both to get it done. He used a socket with extension and a Phillips bit to turn the screws, while I had to cram my hand between the TV and the wall to keep the bit in the head of the screw. I had to take the TV down once, and trying to get those screws out was a NIGHTMARE! Once the screws are tightened down, you can not see the head of the screws! My advice: replace the screws with some that are at least twice as long.
Other than those two things, I am very happy with this mount. I am cofident it will hold the TV securely as long as it's needed.
