Customer Review: Great Mount for 32" or smaller LCD
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading all the review and comparing pricings from all the local stores, this mount was the best bang for the buck. For the price, it's very well made and the material is of good quality. Like some of the other reviewer, I had to buy a separate Vesa 200x200 adapter for my 32" LCD. This mount does come with Vesa 200 adapter, but it's Vesa 200x100. Most 32" or larger LCD will require 200x200. The adapter was $30 at Sears. I also took the advise of other reviewers and got some hex head screws to replace the ones that came with the mount. This is VERY helpfull and I highly recommend this for anyone that's considering this mount. The installation is very straight forward and took about half an hour.
Overall, I'm very happy with the mount, but there are a couple of minor items I had concerns with. I notice a little bite of flex in the mount, especially if you loosen the swing arm nut to allow for better movement. I have a 32" Toshiba that weights ~45 lbs, which may be causing the flex. I would not recommend anything over 32" if you intend to move the mount alot. Also, the wire management system is total useless, because the cap keep coming off everytime you move the mount and if you are using component cables, there are no way to fit all the cables in the tubing. I posted a couple of photo of my mounted TV for reference. I would recommend this mount anyone, but remind potential buyer to check their TV mounting spec. If you have a 32" or larger TV, you will mostly likely have to spend another $30 for a vesa 200x200 adapter.
Customer Review: Great Mount, Great Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
This mount is simple and easy to use. It works great for my 23 Inch Samsung LNR monitor at work. I can move the monitor wherever I need to.
I just bought a second one for my 32 inch Samsung LNR at home. This mount is good for TV's up to 40 inches.
When the TV is "flush" against the wall it is 3.69" off of the wall, pretty sweet.
I don't know the weight limit of this mount, but it is plenty heavy duty for my 23 inch LCD. There are places to hide the cables inside the mount and it is very clean looking. There are accesable adjustment screws so that over time, you can keep things tight.
I will post pictures if anyone wants them, just write in the message board below.
**Update** I recently bought a second of the same mount for my TV at home (32 inch Samsung LNR LCD) and it did NOT come with the right adapters to fit. I called thier customer service and they told me that i could buy the larger VESA plate at Sears... It was convenient, so I went and bought it. It was about $30. Now that I have it all installed, I would likely have bought a different mount for my TV at home, because I do not have a stud right in the middle of my wall--so I have to use the mount to swing the TV off of the wall and center it. I wish it could be flush against the wall. Bottom line is find your Studs before you buy...
Customer Review: Great quality (but one little heads up)
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit was easy and quick to install, don't get me wrong, it took me a couple of hours but that was due to the position of my refrigerator- pulling it out, cleaning behind it, finding my stud, gathering my tools, taking the stand off my TV!!!...aarrgh...etc. The actual installation of the arm was about 2 minutes. It is heavy (The way you would want it), it is well made, and I am very happy with it, I would buy it again in a second if I had another set to hang. Only one "heads up", the bolts, you DO need to pre drill, do not expect to drive these large screws into a stud without doing so. IF you expect your bolts to be quite snug as I do, you will be using a powerful drill rather than a low powered electric screw driver of some sort. The screws are made of a softer metal than any of the bolts I own which I used 2 of 4 to replace due to the tip wearing the bolt out VERY easily. If you drill a larger hole so your bolts go in easier...well...id rather just get stronger bolts and really drive them in tight (not splitting the stud of course). My opinion: get this arm! It was over $100 at the manufacturer's website! And I would have paid that and had been happy, if I didn't decide to check Amazon.com first!Customer Review: Great Design
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my new 20" LCD and I am very pleased. I was looking at the Omni Mount, which is about the same price. There were a couple of bad reviews for that one so I tried this one. I am glad I did. I am sure that is a good product, but this has a much better design. Unless the wall stud you are mounting the mount in is exactly in the middle of the spot you intend to mount the TV, you won't be happy with a cantilever type mount, pushed back flush against the wall, the cantilever mount will always rest the TV exactly where the stud is. This product allows much greater flexibility. The TV can be "offset" from the mounting base on either side so that you can center it on the wall when flush. It also does not have the "drooping" issue the reviews for the cantilever mount mentioned. The mount is very well made, I think it weighs more than the TV, and is attractive. If you want, you can even hide the wires in the tubes of the mount. My only complaint, mine didn't come with the mounting screws, but for less than $1.00 I bought them at Home Depot. I am very pleased and strongly recommend that you consider this mount for your TV.Customer Review: A really good wall mount
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really inpressed with this wall mount. It is super easy to install, comes with ALL the mounting goodies,, has the parts to attach to all the commmon LCD mounting patterns, and will easily hold a 37" LCD on the wall. Plus, the cables all snake through the arm which neatens things up. The unit has a wall plate that attaches to the wall (stud or concrete wall) and the end of the arm has a clamp that fits over the wall plate. The attachment is very secure and even more so when the set screw on the arm is tightened on to the wall plate. Each joint on the arm has its own tension adjustment so you can lock the arm in any position. Two sugestions: do not use the enclosed screws to mount to a wall stud. Go out and buy some lag screws. They have a much better bite on the wood and, with the hex head, are much easier to drive into the wall stud than the supplied Phillips head screws. Also, although the mount is easy to attach to the wall, have someone help you mount it. Catching the arm on the wall plate is tricky when you only have 2 hands.
