Digital camera reviews of Peerless SF640 Universal Fixed Low-Profile Wall Mount for 23" to 46" Displays (Black)
Digital camera Review: Can't argue with the price
Summary: 4 Stars
Great Amazon price ... similar mounts are way more expensive at B&M stores or elsewhere online.
Does the job, was pretty easy to install, and allows you to mount the bracket on the studs and then slide the TV over to center it.
Only thing that brought it down was the included hex key for tightening the TV to the mount. The "L" side was too long and meant I couldn't turn it 360 degrees because it was so close to the wall. The solution: 10 minutes with a hacksaw, cut off the "L" side, and throw it in the drill. 30 seconds and the TV was tight.
Digital camera Review: Careful - picture is deceiving and may not be right for your TV

We have a 42 inch LCD, and based on the picture (never mind the description) it looked like it would be an easy fit. There should be a ruler in the picture because the mount is small - too small for many TVs above 40" unless you have a model with mounting holes that are freakishly close together. Make sure to measure the distance between mounting holes on your TV so that you can pick the bigger mount if necessary (and not have to pay to ship it back like us).Digital camera Review: Carefully check compatability!

CAREFULLY check to see if your TV will fit this unit. It is listed as fitting TV's of 23-46" however the 42" and 46" that it actually fits are VERY limited. Check peerless's site to type in your TV model, and it will pop up EXACTLY what you need. Then come back on over to Amazon to buy it because they charge 2x-3x as much dirrectly from the peerless site.Digital camera Review: Check first if this product will fit your TV
Summary: 3 Stars
It's easy to be misled about the word "Universal" and the TV size it's supposed to fit with on most online wall mount descriptions. Problem is that I only found out after getting this product that it doesn't fit my 42" Philips LCD model.
One kudo to Peerless is the ease of using their web site to check by manufacturer and model. That alone made me give them 3 stars instead of 1. I've looked at other manufacturers and their web sites have the bare minimum info which is far from adequate. I was able to find the right model for my TV after entering that info onto the web site.
So to all those shopping for mounts, I cannot stress enough how important it is to double-check the width of the mount (see Tech Specs) to see if it's longer than the mounting position on the back of your TV. Check the manufacturer's web site too and hopefully it'll have good info, a few of them I looked at didn't have any useful info.
Digital camera Review: Compatibilty Information Missing
Summary: 1 Stars
Since the description says "Universal Wall Mount for 23"-46" Flat Panels" people tend to assume that what it means. What a waste of people's time and effort to leave out the important compatibility information that this cheap pile only fits some plasma TV's.
