Digital camera Review: A Cheap, But Strong Solution To Mounting a Flat Panel HDTV
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this mount for a Samsung LNT3253H, 32" HDTV and it worked just fine. We wanted to mount the TV near a corner and only a single brace mount would accommodate our installation plans. This mount affords the maximum in flexibility for moving and angling your HDTV into the position you want it. It even includes some ability to tilt the TV up or down.
Installation was fairly straightforward. As many have noted, be sure your mounting screws are in the center of the stud! Check and recheck before drilling the guide holes and use the guide holes to test that you aren't on the edge of the stud. This mount has only one bracket with two screws to hold up your HDTV. It will easily hold up a 40" wide screen LCD HDTV if properly installed. But, if the screw connections aren't solid in the stud, the weight of the HDTV when extended on the arm could bring the whole thing down. The screws are tough to get fully seated and you should definitely have a helper when putting in the screws and when mounting the HDTV onto the articulating arm.
Alternatives to this mount cost twice the price or more and few provide the single mount arrangement. No regrets here!
Digital camera Review: A deal
Summary: 4 Stars
I installed a 40" Samsung on this mount. The adapter plate fitted perfectly. I needed a little more extension, so I bought longer screws (slightly hard to find) and put a 2 x 4 between the mount and the wall.
Given that this mount was far cheaper even than other mounts in the Circuit City going-out-of-business sale, I don't see why anyone with a TV 40" or under would by anything else. Make sure you check the specs online, because a few brands of TV need an adapter that is not sold with the unit.
It extends, retracts, tilts, and you can tighten various allen wrench screws to make it stiffer or looser.
This product works.

Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a 32" flat panel LCD HDTV for our bedroom and wanted to wall mount it to get it off the floor and take advantage of it's thin profile. The problem was finding decent mounting systems at our local "Big Box" electronic stores. Not to mention the high price. After a lengthy Internet search, I settled on this brand and model. We wanted to be able to move our TV to different positions (while still being fixed mounted on the wall) so we could watch it from various points in our bedroom (from the bed, from a sitting area, from the bathroom, etc). Most of the mounts I found on the Internet cost a fortune and did little more than tilt your TV up and down. This Peerless arm does so much more. It swings, swivels, and tilts to virtually any viewing angle you can imagine or need. Plus the mounting plate will fit virtually any LCD or plasma model. I suggest visiting the Peerless web site for specific information regarding compatibility with your TV brand and model.
Prices for this item were all over the board during my Internet research. I would discourage you from shopping at the lowest price sources listed at Amazon.com. I went through the long ordering process with Beach Audio.com only to find out (at the last ordering screen) that their shipping and handling costs were about twice the cost of the arm! What a deceiving rip-off. Instead, I purchased the arm through [...]. This web site has a bounty of useful information about TV and monitor mounting options. I highly recommend a look here for information, even if you don't buy from them.
I received the mount via UPS in about five days (the $9.99 shipping and handling was much more reasonable than other places). I am a "do it yourselfer" and found the installation to be easy. I think if you are even a bit mechanically inclined and have basic tools you won't have much trouble installing the unit. Find a wall stud, mark the location of the arm on the wall, drill two pilot holes into the stud, screw the arm into the wall stud with two large wood screws and screw the TV into the arm's support plate. Even if you mount the arm a bit crooked, you can still level the TV with one of the arm's adjustment screws. I highly recommend having two or more people available to help hold the TV in place while attaching it to the support arm plate.
I am very, very pleased with this articulating arm. It looks great, only sticks out about 3 inches from the wall, it has a neat system for hiding the power cord and cable wires from view, and it can be adjusted effortlessly to an infinite number of viewing angles. I was a bit leery of placing a $1000+ TV investment on a wall mount, but this unit is surprisingly strong. Even though the TV weighs a lot, the arm moves it around with very little effort.
If you are looking for a wall mounted articulating arm with lots of flexibility for TV viewing angles, this is a great, ingenious product.
