Great wall mount January 7, 2009

Great wall mount. Not much of "tilting" though but holds the TV up, that's all that matters. :)

I purchased a Samsung LN46A650 with this wall mount. I mounted the wall mount and the tv by myself. The mount went up simply and effortlessly. Outside of a qick read through, there isnt much need for the instructions. A few tools and common sense had the mount up in about 30 minutes (not counting using touch up paint to hide a couple scatches on the wall from my wife).

It is great to have, however the distance between our door and window and the location of the studs would not allow us to use it. A little difficult to install. Check your measurements.

I researched the different brands then searched by price. This was the perfect solution at the right price. Installation was pretty simple given my location.

I used the Peerless ST650P to mount a Panasonic 42" Viera Plasma TV. The mount attached to the TV perfectly, and included all necessary hardware. However, the part of the mount that attached to the wall is several inches too short to be able to span across three 16-on-center studs. As a result, I had to attach the mount to only 2 studs. I used the extreme left hand mounting holes so that the mount extended as far to one side as possible. This means the edge of the mount is on one stud, and the second stud is thus located only slightly off set from the center of the mount resulting in no support for the mount at the other edge which then falls between studs. I then also hung the TV to that far side taking advantage of another 3-4 inches of adjustability which loads the mount precisely where it has the least support.
The result is that the TV is roughly located where it would have been had the peerless mount been able to be centered on one stud and attached to the neighboring 2 (spanning 3 studs).
However, because the extreme outboard arm of the mount is several inches away from the lag bolts on one side, the mount twisted and bent slightly under the weight of the TV and pulled away from the wall at the top about 1/16 of an inch. I believe it can support the weight and will not deform any further as long as the TV isn't jostled or disturbed, but the mount is really not designed to handle the torquing forces that result when mounted off center. I regret the purchase and might be forced to buy a different mount for fear that it might bend and deform even more, or even fail.
If the wall where you want your TV has a stud directly behind, or very close to the point where you want to center the TV, then this mount will not work very well for you.
If you don't care where the TV is centered on your wall, and can center the TV between two Studs regardsless of whether they are a few feet this way or that way - then this mount is adequate.
The tilt feature works good once your remove the Allen Key lock bolts.
