Digital camera reviews of Peerless SA740P Articulating LCD Wall Mount for 22-40" LCD Screens (Black)
Digital camera Review: Blocked input and output
Summary: 4 Stars
The hanging plate blocked all the input and output connections on the back of my Sony KDL-V32XBR2 32". The only connections that were not blocked by the hanging plate were the power, RF input, and 1 composite video on the side. I am currently not using the connections on the back so it's okay for now. Eventually, I will need to get a different plate so I have access to the input and output connections on the back of my TV. The screws also don't fit my TV. I had to get some screws from the hardware store. The arm itself was very sturdy.
Digital camera Review: Built like a tank, easy to install....
Summary: 5 Stars
Add me to the list of pleased buyers of this unit. Before getting it, I was concerned about being able to adjust it horizontally, to center it between two windows. You see, the stud I mounted it to, was 5" off-center. As it turns out, the mount will NOT allow you to adjust the horizontal position, so buyers beware. The website gives good diagrams of the unit, and you find that the center of the mount plate is about 3.75" from the mount holes. So, even tho' the unit is about 1.25" off-center, it is not noticeable in our installation in the bedroom.
Now, installing this unit is a breeze. I couldn't believe how easy it was, even for one person. Just make sure you find the center of the stud prior to drilling the holes. I used a drill bit just slightly larger than recommended, and the screws were easier to tighten. I also added some rubber pads to the arm so it wouldn't mar the wall when folded back completely. This is a well-engineered product, and certainly worth the cost.
Digital camera Review: Can get almost the same thing for half the price on Amazon!
Summary: 3 Stars
The SA740 (also made by Peerless) is just slightly more than half of the price of this model! The only difference is that this model extends about 3.5" more away from the wall than the other model. Other than that, they are exactly the same! It's hardly worth the additional money unless you have a specific need to extend your TV away from the wall a maximum distance.
I bought this and I am sort of sorry I spent the extra money on it (at the time I was unaware that the SA740 was also being sold on Amazon for so much less), but I am too lazy to send it back and wait for the replacement to arrive. It's still quite a bit cheaper than buying a mount from Circuit City or Best Buy.
I also found out that I needed an additional $80 adapter plate for my Sharp 32" LCD TV. Without the adapter, this arm is useless! Another reviewer mentioned this as well on Amazon. Unfortunately, I didn't read his review prior to buying so now I am waiting an extra week for the adapter plate to arrive.
Digital camera Review: Capacity over rated
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this mount for a Toshiba 40RF35OU. It works, but sags quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend it for anything larger than a 26". It may be strong enough for its rated capacity, but the stiffness is inadequate.Digital camera Review: Doesn't fit Sony Bravia
Summary: 4 Stars
I had to do major reconstuctive surgery to make this work with my Sony Bravia because the connections are right in the area where the panel mounts. So unless you are handy, you may want to look elsewhere for a support arm.
