This this is slicker than ... well, you know what. Drill 2 holes into a stud, and screw the bracket to the back of the tv, and you're done. The holes aligned perfectly with a little 17" lcd we got from Tigerdirect (for just over $200, I had a very nice bedroom setup).Digital camera Review: Great mount, get your own screws...

This mount is nice. It's sturdy and not too stiff. No monitor sag on my 19 inch computer monitor. It was easy to attach to the wall... but attaching the monitor is another story. WARNING Do not use the provided screws to attach the monitor to the mount. For one they are two long, while tightening one down it was still 1/8 of an inch from being tight and just by hand tightening the screw it sheered in half. I could not get the other half out of the back of my monitor. Stupid me i thought that it was just that one screw and the monitor would be ok with only 3. While i tightened the next one... the same thing happened. I didn't apply much pressure at all. I had two screws filling the holes on the back of my monitor. I had to run to home depot, get a 5-64ths drill bit and a reverse threaded bit. Drill i hole into the back of the tiny screw, worrying about pushing to hard(you need a lot of force to drill threw the screws) and ruining my screen. Then once i had the hole use the bit to remove the screw. I got both out and used the screws that were holding the origional base to my monitor, those worked perfectly. It took about an hour an a half to get the screws out and then mounted. Overall i would recomend this mount but GET BETTER SCREWS!Digital camera Review: Great price

I looked forever for a good low priced LCD arm. I needed one that swiveled all directions as I was mounting our new 17" AOC LCD TV at an odd angle, I couldnt find a better price than this anywhere!
The arm is solidly built and comes with all the hardware you will need to mount it.
Only 2 minor gripes. One the metal on this thing is coated somewhat cheaply, anywhere the arm touched the wall left long grey streaks before I got it solidly mounted. And two, the wall anchors that came packaged with it were far too small for the screws provided, I drilled a small hole into the wall got the anchors securely fasted and then tried to use the screws provided only to have the screws twist the anchor through the wall. I ended up find a stud and mounting it there and tossing the anchors but not after having to patch and paint a few holes in my wall.
For the money you cant beat this arm.
Digital camera Review: Great price and product. Wish it had the ability to rotate the display.
Summary: 4 Stars
First, let me start by saying that this item is not the one you see pictured above. The arm has two parts, one upper and one lower, not the upper, middle, and lower that you see above. Actually, I think the product that I received is nicer looking than the picture above. The product works great and is very solid. I'm not sure what others were talking about with the screws. I used a #3 phillips head on my drill and they went into the wall no problem after pre-drilling the holes. If you use the right head they will not strip.
This is my first VESA mount and I learned a valuable lesson. I think that all VESA mounts should have the feature that allows the display to be rotated. The reason I say this in not just because my display is capable of displaying at 90 degrees. I am saying it because even though I leveled the arm very carefully if you are off by just a millimeter that millimeter will translate out to about a half-inch of tilt when you extend the monitor completely away from the wall. When I first extended it out I thought I had made a mistake but when I rechecked at the wall the arm was level. I was able to fix the issue by extending it from the left instead of the right but I cannot extend it all the way out without noticing the tilt. The ability to rotate would eliminate this issue. One way you could probably avoid this is to attach your monitor to the arm, extend it all the way out and then have someone level and mark it at the wall while you hold it in place. That way you would be leveling it at the fully extended position instead of simply at the wall.
Here is a tip for attaching your monitor to the arm. Unbolt the front portion of the arm from the back portion. Attach it to your monitor while it is safely laying on a towel on your desk. Reattach the two portions of the arm. This is much easier than trying to mount the monitor to the arm while it is attached to the wall and is able to be done with one person because you just have one bolt to attach.
