OVERIVEW This is an OK value, and if you want a fairly shallow mounting system on the cheap, this is the way to go. In ideal conditions you can get your TV 1 1/2" from drywall. The locking system is totally lame though. And if conditions arent ideal, you will have to make sacrifices to use this mount due to it's design. THE GOOD - Inexpensive - It comes with two different depth brackets: shallow and very shallow. ;-) Seriously though, one is 1/2" deeper than the other resulting a 2" mounting depth vs. 1 . Most displays cant be mounted any closer than that anyway. Especially plasmas which typically have far more vents due to running quite a bit hotter. THE BAD - Metal is a great deal thinner than competition - Non-standard washers means I can't re-use the hardware I didn't need elsewhere - lag bolts are a bit teensy given the application, I used my own larger ones. These are the smallest lags Ive seen used in a mount for 40 to 60 displays. - no cross-bracing which means the mount MUST be installed flush against wall, you can't use nylon spacers like some (well, most!) competitors mounts. The mount will flex excessively if you try. The manual is clear about avoiding this1 - the locking set screws are the most BRAINDEAD setup I've ever seen! HOW SHALLOW? As long as your TV has fairly recessed HDMI jack, you will probably be able to use the shallow brackets and your TV will only sit1 1 1/2" off the wall. The same goes for if you have a coax connection; if you use short crimp-on connectors you can probably use the thin brackets. If you have long compression fittings, you probably won't have enough room unless the I/O connections are deeply recessed into the displayespecially with inflexible RG-6U cable. NO CROSS SUPPORTS There is no cross bracing or plate. This does make vertical placement easier if you have a small wall box (or just cables poking out of drywall), but it also makes the whole mount *FAR* less rigid. As such, the only valid installation is directly mounted to the wall flush, and you can't use spacers behind the mount. Why would you want to do this you may ask? Well, many recessed boxes like the Leviton unit come with a nice 1/4" thick trim plate. These boxes are quite large, and there is a good chance, especially when mounting a very large TV, that the top or bottom of your mount may need to span the box opening in order to set the TV at optimum height. Well, if you do this, then you can't use the trim plate, as it will interfere with the flush mounting. NEARLY EVERY SINGLE MOUNT I've used (a dozen or so) comes with 1/4" and/or 3/8" nylon spacers to deal with *exactly* this issue. This mount does NOT. So, I was going to use some spacers I had left over from a previous installation. Genius, right? WRONG! The entire mount displaces significantly under the weight of my 52" LCD even though it is only approx 1/2 of the max allowed weight. I was NOT comfortable, and reattached the mount directly flush to the wall, as specified by instructions. The reason spacers aren't provided is the metal is too thin, and the lack of cross bracing, does not allow the mount to "float" on the wall above spacers. It simply can't do it. It was engineered with the mindset that the drywall would actually provide the rigidity to the solution and prevent it from bending. Spacers are NOT provided, and as you can read in the instructions, NOT supported. The instructions are VERY CLEAR on stating that the mount MUST be fastened FLUSH to the wall directly. As such, I was not able to use the trim plate on my Leviton box. Now, granted nobody can really see its not there. But I know! LOCKING SYSTEM Since most users would want to mount flush to the wall anyway, the above issue isn't huge. However, what is a larger problem is the locking Allen screws used to prevent the panel to be lifted off the mount. These locking Allen screws, one on each end both about in from the edges, are recessed very deep from the bottom of your display (of course, how deep depends on how large your display is). So, you need to use a long (approx 18) Allen key that is provided so that once your display is mounted flat, you can reach behind it, and turn the Allen screw until it engages into the locking hole and won't allow the unit to be tipped up, and thus can't be lifted off of the brackets. Of course, this is VERY GOOD if you have young ones around! A locking system like this is a must IMO though. However, there are two problems with this implementation, both are potentially huge issues. 1) As I mentioned, there are two screws. The first one isn't bad, because you can pry up the TV a bit and get the Allen key into it. But, once it is in, the TV will NO LONGER LIFT UP, its locked flat (unless you pry hard ad bend it temporarilythis shows how flexible the mount is). So how do you get it into the second screw? Well, good luck. If you have a small panel, sure, it's not too bad. Or, if you use the deeper mount, its not bad.. But with a 58"+ panel you are trying to thread an 18" long Allen key into a tiny hole that you can't really see, and you only have 1 1/2" to work withits NOT easy. But, it can be doneunless 2) even worse, is the fact that this is a *security* Allen screw and key, meaning the screw has a bump in it and the Allen key a hole in it for the bump to fit into. You can NOT use a normal Allen key. Which I guess is a good thing....but what is the huge Allen key they provided is TOO long?!? What if you are mounting a smaller (say 40 display) directly over a fireplace, and the key hits the mantle and you can't get it to fit into the screw because there is simply not enough clearance? You can't just cut it down, since it will cut off the security hole, and you will be left with a normal Allen key that won't fit. We ran into this problem because I have 34" high wainscoting with a nearly 2" deep top plate running around perimeter of living room. The bottom of the TV only sits about 4 above this plate at ideal location. However, with this ideal TV mounting height, the Allen key was a full 3" too long and due the wainscoting we couldn't possibly get the key into the screws with either the shallow *or* deep brackets. Its just not possible due to the angle necessary. The core problem (other than this being a brain-dead locking mechanism for sure) was that the key was a fixed length, and couldn't be cut down to fit as needed. They simply should NOT have used security Allen screws. There is no good reason. The panel already has a separate Kensington lock loop. It isn't like people are walking around with 18" long Allen keys!?! It's already a highly specialized tool. By making it a security Allen screw it meant that the super-long key now couldnt be cut down to fit any tight works space. So in my case, in order to lock the panel to the wall, I had to get out my torch and re-bend the Allen key so that it was now a bit shorter. Normally I would have just hacksawed it, but as mentioned, it would have ruined it for this purpose due to the security hex screws. Now, dont get me started as to what Ill do 3 years from now when I go to take this down and cant find that customized 15 long Allen key. Good design folks! NOT!!! CONCLUSION I'm a pretty handy guy, and have the tools and time to do what was needed to overcome these problems. Most people won't. So while I do think this is a good value, it really is only good when: 1) you won't have ANY obstructions within a solid 6" to 12" (depending on how tall your display is) below the bottom of your display so you won't hit anything with very long Allen key 2) you either know that your existing box/cables are perfectly where they should be for the center of the display (height wise), OR

Bought this mount to install a 42" Hitachi plasma in the bedroom. It was very easy to install and came with hardware for just about any TV. It was very sturdy and came with extra brackets in case you had a TV with a deeper back on it. The mounts at our area CC was $150 to $200, so this was a steal. I am very pleased.

This mount worked great for my Phillips 47" LCD TV. Comes with 2 different depth mounting brackets, I used the low profile as my wife is an interior designer and was worried about seeing the mount from the side. She was pleased with the way it looks. Make sure an do you connections before you hang the TV as the other reviews state. No complaints and would highly recommend this product and seller

I purchased two of these mounts after reading the reviews. The reviews were correct and made mounting two different lcd tvs quick and easy. Every option is covered with labeled screws for any possible tv. Also included are two different piceces depending how close you want to keep the tv to the wall. If you have help the thinner mount it is easy to install and looks fantastic for a close to the wall look. Even with concealing the wires the 1st tv took less than 2 hrs and the second tv took only 45 minutes because it was an inside wall. Would recommend it highly.

Very easy to mount to the wall. I have a Hewlett Packard PL5072N and am glad I saved the money by not purchasing a tilting mount. As my tv is mounted on the wall, the bottom of the screen is eye level when sitting, which is pefect for the distance we are viewing from. Also, this tv is flush against the wall, I had no issues with it tilting back. I would definately recommend this item and seller.

I mounted a Sharp 46" lcd. Lots of flexibility with all the mounting holes. An excellent, but wasteful collection of hardware. I ended up throwing out the thinner tv mounts an 90% of the bolts & spacers. The hanging brackets make it a snap for even one person to hang even a heavy panel. It does mount very close to the wall (tis is what I was looking for) so make all your connections first.

This wall mount is simple, easy to use, and works great. I used it for a Sharp 52" LCD TV. I ordered the mount on Thursday and it was delivered on Monday! Great turn around and a great product. Mounts very close to the wall for a minimum profile.

It was very easy to install. All you need is someone to help you hang the TV. Excellent sturdy quality for under $60 was like giving it away.

I ordered this and mounted a 50 inch Vizio Plaza TV. It came in about 3 days. It had two kinds of brackets. One set kept the TV off of the wall about an inch more that the other. I used the bigger set to allow easy access to hook up more cables in the future. This is a very simple mount. Comes with a lot of hardware and well worth the money.

Received the unit about 3 days after i ordered and it went together flawlessly. I was looking for the simplest (i.e. cheapest) wall mount i could find and just wanted to keep it as close to the wall as possible. It comes with a wide assortment of hardware that should work with almost any TV and it also has 2 styles of brackets. One is about 1/2" deeper than the other. I installed the narrower unit as i wanted it to be as close to the wall as possible. One mistake i made was that not having a swivel or pivot, it was a PIA to route all the cables through a blank wall plate with a hole drilled out that i mounted behind the TV so i could conceal all the cables from the player units below. Fortunately, you can swing the bottom of the set out a few inches before you clamp it down to get access to all the hookups.

Nice wall mount great price. Came with a nice chart of tons of tvs and a whole bunch of mounting screws for all types of sets. I mounted a 42" maxent plasma and ended up using the mounting screws that were on the back of the set already. Mounting was very straight forwared. Warning thought... no tilting provided with this model.

This wall mount worked great with our Samsung LNT5271F 52 inch LCD Television. It came with an extensive array of hardware for various configurations. It was shipped rapidly (had the product within 3 days regular shipping). Customer support at Peerless was excellent as well.

I have installed 3 Peerless Flat Screen LCD Mounts in my house and I am very satisified. Simply connect 2 brackets to the back of the TV, attach the mounting bracket to the wall, lift the TV into place and the brackets connect to each other quickly. If you know how to operate a drill and screwdriver, anyone can mount a TV on the wall with this mount. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
