Digital camera reviews of Peerless ST660 Tilt Wall Mount for 37" to 63" Displays (Black)
Digital camera Review: Easy to install and a solid mount
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a bit dubious about installing this myself, but when Circuit City quoted me $499 PLUS the cost of the mount to have their FireDog people do the job, I decided I would take on the project myself.
This item is boxed with a huge variety of hardware to attach it to almost any flat screen. This was a little overwhelming upon opening the box, but a quick review of the instructions calmed my nerves a bit when I realized I would only need one set of bolts/screws.
The printed instructions were clear and thorough. With a little care and attention to details (okay, so maybe a lot of torque, too, to get the bolts into the studs) I got the mount up on the wall, flat and level. The brackets attached to my 42 inch Panasonic plasma in a flash. With a little help from the other half, we hung the TV on the mount and marveled at how the mount didn't even budge under the weight of the TV.
The tilt function isn't one touch by any means, but it is simple and very secure. You need to loosed two 'screws' on the brackets using a very long allen key (included), loosen two more screws by hand and then tilt the TV to your desirec position. Then you repeat the process with the screws to tighten. Simple enough.
Overall, I am very pleased with the product and the results. If you are questioning your ability to undertake this job yourself, this mount should give you the confidence to get that TV up on the wall.
Digital camera Review: Easy to install works well
Summary: 5 Stars
Installed this with Sharp 52 inch TV; installing plate to wall and mounting TV on plate was no big deal. Adjusting tilt is a little bit of work - helps to have long and/or skinny arm to adjust tilt angle.Digital camera Review: Economical mount
Summary: 4 Stars
A good mount at a good price. Directions assume technical knowledge, but not a difficult mount to install, with what is provided and some of your own tools. Shipping wasn't flawless (reason for 4 stars), didn't arrive on scheduled date. One phone call to Amazon, they tracked down the problem and had one to me in 2 days. Great Customer Service.Digital camera Review: Excellent Quality, Simple to install, Highly recommend.

First off, I have a Sony Bravia 46" flat panel TV (KDL46V3000) to be secured by this wall mount. I ordered this Peerless ST660 tilting wall mount on Tuesday morning, received free shipping, and it was on my door steps on Wednesday evening. Amazing shipping!
A little background about myself, I am a degreed mechanical engineer, so I look at the design of things a little more in detail than most people. The design of this kit is very good, and very simple. The quality of the kit is top notch. All components are nicely painted black, no scratched up parts, and more attachment hardware than you would care to imagine. The assembly directions are great and easy to understand.
The horizontal wall mount was super easy to attach to the wall. Simply find your centerline of your TV and determine where you want it on the wall, find your studs, drill four holes, and install the lag bolts. Kit comes with four 2-1/2" long lag bolts. Great holding strength.
The two vertical mounts that attach to the back of the TV were easy to install. I had ONE ISSUE with this item. Not a problem though. The screws supplied for this TV were M6x20 and two of the threaded holes on the back of the TV were not deep enough for the 20mm long screws. I had to take two of the screws and grind off 4mm from the length to make them fit correctly. Easy enough for me to do.
After the TV and TV mounts were hung on the wall mount, I had to adjust the vertical location of these about four times to get the TV perfectly level, but this is a given thing with anything hung on the wall.
Regarding the one-touch tilting mechanism, it is not quite a one-touch system. But then again, how often does a person adjust the angle of their TV???? Once it is set, there it is. Still a good design.
Overall, this is a high quality kit that is well designed and can more than handle it's task. Total installation time for me was about 90 minutes, and I completed it all without any assistance whatsoever. It took me a little longer to install simply because I am a perfectionist with this kind of stuff. I would highly recommend this kit to someone looking to secure their TV to a wall.
Digital camera Review: Excellent mount
Summary: 4 Stars
This mount comes with every single possible set of bolts and spacers that you could possibly need to mount your TV. This mount is very sturdy and more than enough to hold my 52" LCD screen. As a structural engineer my opinion is that this is a very well designed product. The only thing I might do a little differently change the design of two small screws that lock in the tilt of the screen when you have settled on the proper angle. It would be nice if they would just loosen and not be totally removable because they are a little hard to get back in if completely removed. Really, to avoid this little issue all that needs to be done is simply loosen just enough to let it tilt.
I was tempted to buy the "Heavy Duty" mount which comes out to the same price after it's rebate, but why go through the rebate thing when this mount costs the same without waiting for a rebate? I recommend this item and would buy it again.
