Digital camera reviews of Peerless SF640 Universal Fixed Low-Profile Wall Mount for 23" to 46" Displays (Black)
Digital camera Review: (More than) Does the job!
Summary: 4 Stars
Very sturdy. Made in U.S.A. Easily holds up our 32" LG and I suspect it could support a much larger and/or heavier screen.
The only con I can think of is I wish they supplied the hex key without a right angle (i.e., just a long hex bar that could be rotated through the fingers), because it's impossible to simply keep turning it. In other words, there's not enough clearance next to the wall. And because it's such a long screw and it's so dark up there, it can take some time to keep finding the screw head each turn.
Also, recently I upgraded my DVD player to an HDMI-compatible one, and it was necessary to take the TV off the mount to plug in the cable. There was no way to access this while it was still mounted. Perhaps this would be an issue with other mounts as well.
Otherwise (and indeed, in spite of this), I would have no hesitation buying this again for another set.
Digital camera Review: **Beware of LCD Size** - Deceptive Product Description
Summary: 1 Stars
Serves me right for not reading the reviews and warnings from the other Amazon customers out there, but as others have stated, the item clearly listed as "Peerless Universal Wall Mount for 23"-46" Flat Panels" DOES NOT FIT most 42" and above LCD panels.
The Peerless and Amazon description giving the 23" to 46" range and calling the item "universal" is totally deceptive. They are doing a terrible disservice to their customers, many of whom will not realize that contrary to the item description, the wall mount is not compatable with their LCDs.
There is no disclaimer on the Amazon web page at the time of ordering (save for the other customer reviews). In fact, the Amazon web description touts it as supporting "virtually any 23" to 46" flat panel screen"... but when the product arrives and the small disclaimer on the instructions sheet reads "most 42" and larger screens may not work with this mount", you've been duped and have wasted your time and shipping money.
Digital camera Review: All you need.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 37" sharp aquos. The mount is very sturdy, I would be comfortable putting a larger tv on this mount. If you don't need your tv to tilt this is the perfect mount, and the price is right. Easy to install, low profile, but it is hard to access your cable in the back of the tv, but thats ok, how often do you really need to do that. When Installing i would recommend securing the mount to studs if you can find one.Digital camera Review: Almost great TV mount
Summary: 4 Stars
First, let me start by saying I am blown away by how quickly Amazon filled this order. I placed the order on a Sunday, taking advantage of the standard (free) shipping, and was quite surprised when I received the order the following Wednesday.
The TV mount worked exactly as described, and came with an assortment of screws and other mounting hardware to do the trick. No extra trips to the hardware store - almost. Much to my chagrin, I discovered that when trying to hang my LG flat panel on the wall, this mount didn't extend out enough to allow the AC power cord to plug into the outlet I had located behind the TV. The TV plug projected from the wall about an 1 1/2", requiring me to go to the Depot to purchase a recessed wall outlet, like the ones used for hanging clocks.
My only other comment is that the set screws used to secure the TV to the mount are accessed using a very long allen wrench, and in order to turn them, you must crouch down below the hanging TV and carefully turn the wrench. This isn't terrible, but when the mount is flush against the wall, like this one is designed to fit, you are only able to get 3/4 of a turn of the wrench before you must take it out, and carefully reposition it in the allen screw. The whole process of securing the TV took about 5 minutes.
Have to say, all in all - this mount cost about half what a comparable mount at Best Buy would have cost - and does the trick nicely.
Digital camera Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
This wall mount amazed me with the hardware included. Every screw that could be used with a TV out there was included. It was simple to install and does the job, why pay a lot more for a similar unit. It doesn't let you tilt the TV, but if you just look for a mount that allows you to hang your TV flat on the wall, this is the unit to buy. I used it for a 32" LCD flat panel.
