I purchased several of these mounts to place in classrooms. That are very lightweight and easy to install. There is nothing complex or fancy about them and it makes hanging a screen a breeze. This is a perfect example of keeping it simple to be most effective.

The ability to adjust the distance of the screen from the wall is really nice especially when you need extra clearance for an interactive whiteboard or wall mounted map.

I used these products to hang a movie screen. The situation was this:

1) I had been projecting onto an open, white wall.
2) My wife told me that I had to fill that wall up with bookshelves.
3) I now had to hang a screen about one and a half feet in front of the wall (so that it would hang past the bookshelves).

This product did the job like a dream. The screwed on hooks allow one to level a screen perfectly and they have enough lateral give to allow one to fit both brackets onto a stud with ease. The bolt holes that one uses to bolt the product to the wall are big enough to accommodate some pretty sturdy hardware, and that is good for those of us who are hanging heavy items.

All in all, it is a great product. The only annoyance is that it is a little difficult to get some of the bolts in because of the triangular shape of the unit. However, there is no substitute for the triangle for sturdiness. Hence, the annoyance is well worth the integrity it ensures.

The image for these Da-Lite mounting brackets actually shows three different models (small, medium, and the largest, #23). This photo matches the image from the instructions, so I can see the source of confusion: the manufacturer includes all 3 images on their promotional material for each individual size, which can be confusing.

At least with respect to the largest such mount, the brackets are quite sturdy and well-constructed. Yes, they're simply plastic, but they're HUGE in cross-section, and clearly able to sustain heavy load. From the markings, EACH bracket is rated for 75 pounds, so together they can easily withstand a combined 150lbs of force.

I mounted mine to a cinder-block classroom wall using a few cheap Tapcon cement screws, and it locked solidly into place. Note that with the larger unit, the screen will hang a minimum 8" or so away from the wall (maximum perhaps 18" using the included steel extension rod), which will reduce your picture size somewhat if you can't move the projector back.

Before I broke down and bought these, I looked at brackets at the hardware store and Lowe's; nothing was exactly right, so I placed my order. I was pleasantly surprised -- they look good, *and* they are solid. The mounting directions were simple, and installation went flawlessly. While I wouldn't try to do chin-ups on them the way I do TV mounts, I think they'd rip out of the studs before they bent.

This thing works wonders. It's very customizable. You can use either side of the mount. It will work almost anywhere. Just screw it in and mount your screen, you wont be displeased.

I'm very pleased with these wall brackets.
