Digital camera reviews of Peerless SA740P Articulating LCD Wall Mount for 22-40" LCD Screens (Black)
Digital camera Review: Good quality, but a bit shaky for a 40 inch LCD
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the recommended mount for my Samsung LN-T4081 40" LCD with VESA 200 mounting, and the price was right.
Comments:
1. The installation instructions were well done and the machining and parts were top notch. Everything fit together as expected. The included screws for wooden stud mounting are flathead Phillips, but for the torque required, hex head lag bolts or a very large Robertson would have been a more appropriate choice. You can forget about screwing this into an old-growth stud by hand.
2. I wanted this centered on a wall, but there was no stud dead center, so I had to offset it about 4". It can appear centered, however, by pulling it out from the wall about 10 inches. I am not sure if the WSP accessory bracket could be modified to compensate in a case like this. Otherwise I would have to open the wall and add framing, or have a machine shop make up a custom bracket.
3. It would have been nice of them to include a CAD drawing with exact dimensions, because I had to do a fair amount of figuring to determine that if I wanted the TV exactly centered on the wall, the stud would have had to be 3-3/16" inches off center. (In other words don't plan on centering your TV on the wall!)
4. The orbital adjustment is nice in case the bracket is not mounted perfectly vertical. It may also be necessary to adjust this due to flexing from the increased load on the bracket as a larger TV is pulled out from the wall and angled.
5. A 40-inch LCD is definitely at the limit of what this can handle. My set weighs, I think, 50 lbs. If fully extended and angled horizontally, I would not want to add any loading or pressure on the far end of the TV. It gets pretty wobbly. I would not buy it if it would need frequent adjustment or if kids or a crowd were going to be handling it. I think that's why the price on this was so reasonable vs. the prices I saw for heavier-duty wall mounts.
Digital camera Review: Good value
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the numerous reviews for this product and doing some research on my own, I purchased this wall mount for a 27' Olevia I had recently purchased. I share the same sentiments as other reviewers in that you get a great, sturdy wall mount for not a lot of money. This mount has some nice features which allow the TV to tilt for different viewing angles and the arm swings the TV out which is nice if you want some flexibility in terms of moving furniture around. I highly recommend this mount for use in the bedroom, bathroom or to use in a room where you would want a smaller TV. I certainly wouldn't bother spending $200+ on a wall mount at the box stores or furniture stores for a smaller flat screen TV. This will do just fine.Digital camera Review: Great Item
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this item to mount a 32" Lcd television. The articulating arm was easy to install. I was impressed by the sheer size and strength of the material the arm was made of. The channel on the lower side of the arm which is used to route cables makes an asthetically pleasing installation possible. It will mount any television with either the 100mm or 200mm vesa mount. My television is wiggle free and can articulate in almost any direction and tilt needed for viewing in any part of the room. This is an excellent item for a reasonalble price.Digital camera Review: Great Item, Frustrating Installation
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is very efficient, I use it with my 32" Toshiba Regza and it turns any which way and supports my TV very well.
The installation though, was a little frustrating. In the instruction manual, each different nut, screw, bolt, tool, etc. is labeled a letter A-M. There are also small bags with these tools, each bag marked with a big letter A-M. Very handy for installation, right? Wrong. The letters in the book and on the bags didn't match, leading to a lot of confusion.
All in all though, I'm not marking the arm any lower than 4 because of the integrity of the product.
Digital camera Review: Great LCD TV Wall Mount - Peerless Articulating LCD Wall Arm
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this product on Amazon, read the specs and decided to give it a try. The price was right and it was shipped quickly without requesting expedited shipping. Instructions included were clear and simple to follow. All you need to know how to do is handle a drill (makes installing the stud screws easier by drilling pilot holes), a tape measure (for picky installers who like things centered) and a level (again - picky installer me). Simple to mount the TV with many possible hole patterns for all the mount specs (50x50, 100x100, 100x200, 200x200, etc). Once secured to the bracket, the TV moves easily in/out, up/down, and left/right. Very well balanced. Love this product.
