Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Premier Mounts AM3-B Articulating Wall Mount for 40" to 61" Displays (Black)Customer Review: Perfect, but need someone with basic skills to mount Summary: 4 Stars
It's heavy duty as many here have stated but I would expect nothing less to hang my SS 58" PN58B860 monster plasma. The instructions, or lack thereof, suck, so you had better have some common sense basic skills to mount it or hire someone who does. And, it is a 2-man job mounting to the wall and when you hang the TV maybe a 3-man job if you have a 58".
Throw away the template as it is more trouble than it's worth. You just need to be good with a tape measure and stud finder and you can get the job done better and faster than using the template. Also, leave your stand on your TV and remove it after all is done. This way you don't have to lay your TV flat on the screen on the floor as the instructions stupidly state while attaching the mounting hardware. It's never a good idea to lay flat screens on their screen and it is MUCH easier to leave your stock stand on the TV while working on it in the vertical position. After you hang your TV on the wall then your stock stand can simply be removed!
Also, there is very little info on whether to have the hinge side on the right or left. What should dictate this is your wiring. If your home theater system is to the left of your TV then have the hinge side on the left, if to the right have your hinge side on the right, if underneath, it doesn't matter as there is not much difference in the right and left pivoting motion. The reason being is that the mount has a very cool way to rout your cables through the extension arm. Thus, where your cable will come out of the arm is at the hinge side so you want that to be closest to your system.
Look folks, look all day long and you will not find a better mount for your expensive, large, flat screen TV. This is the only one I could find that has the flexibility to be mounted off center if your studs are not in the exact location and that will fit either 16" or 24" on center studs. It has plenty of adjustments so you can make everything look level and on center when it's all said and done. It comes with a mountain of hardware, to fit various models even those models not invented yet...LoL, thus, most of the hardware will not be needed. This thing fits as close to the wall as any I have seen and it just is a beauty to look at and operate.
Bottom line...you have splurged on an expensive TV and Home entertainment system, now DON'T SKIMP On the TV wall mount!!! This is simply the Best! If you don't want the best, buy something else.
I felt like I had to deduct one star for lack of clear instructions for the layman. However, in most cases the layman should have someone with knowledge helping so this may not matter. I did not need the instructions at all, but I have experience. Good luck with your install and I hop my review helped!
