I finally took the plunge to by a new HD TV. I decided on the Samsung LNT4065F 40" 1080p LCD HDTV (~35 pounds). I bought this mount because I have to locate the TV above my existing desk, so I needed the ability to either have it against the wall, or extended out in front of the desk. Installation was a breeze, I did it myself although you should really have two people (one to hold the mount, the other to screw the lag bolt in the stud). I was able to find the manual for this online before I bought it to verify all the dimensions.

PDR Mounts actually received my rebate form and actually called me to see if I was happy with the product. This is a refreshing difference from most rebate forms! Usually most companies may or may not send you a check back and I've never got a call back before. PDR went above and beyond most companies in this respect.

Minor (very minor) annoyance: When I went to level it, I found that the front mounting bracket frame was maybe 2-5 degrees tilted vs. the wall mount piece. So I ended up leveling in in reference to the front mounting bracket instead of the wall mount piece so the TV is perfectly level now.

--- Update! ---
I just received the rebate check. This is amazing, since I received in just about 2 weeks. Never received a rebate so fast.

I just finished a call to PDR for technical support regarding the installation of my 3760T mount (their website address is on the product). Not only was I impressed with the quick response to my initial call, but also with the fact that the rep was familiar with the 42" Hitachi plasma television that I also purchased from Amazon. More about the plasma mounting receiver on the television than the 3760T mount (the mounting instruction pamphlet is pretty straightforward if you are thinking about installing it yourself), his answer and suggestions gave me the confidence to continue with my own installation. At the end of our conversation he even reminded me to avail myself of the rebate - which I had forgotten about completely! It's really nice to know that there are still companies who believe in their products enough that they will go the extra yard to make you a believer too. Thanks!!!

This articulating mount was worth the investment! We purchased a Pioneer PDP-4270HD 42" Plasma and needed a mount. Considering we have a smaller living room (200 sqft) but many family members, we decided to go for an articulating mount instead of just a tilt model.

This mount was very simple to install. All hardware was included and it secured our 42" plasma safely. Surprisingly, it attached much more flush to the wall than we had thought (about 4" off the wall). There are also height adjustments that allow the TV to be mounted higher or lower (3 notches to choose from). Although we were nervous placing our very heavy plasma on something attached to the wall - it is very obvious with it's 3"+ thick steel and three large steel mounting bolts that it won't be going anywhere.

If we use our fingertips to give a gentle nudge or pull on the bottom of the TV, we can adjust it to where we want it (to the left or right). I've even moved it so that it faces another room (90 degree turn) and it's been very secure. Tilting it up and down can be done but it's a bit harder because you will need to tighten 2 knobs on either side once you've adjusted it to where you want it to be. To us this was not an issue (we like the angle of the screen set at one position anyway).

The company for this product has been very reliable with customer service. We called before our purchase and were immediately connected to not only a *live* but also a product-informed US-based tech who gave us good advice and suggestions. We've even recieved a follow-up call to see how it's worked.

Overall, an excellent experience and we're so pleased that we went with this American company and this particular mounting option.

I used this mount to install a 52" Toshiba LCD.
As advertised, the steel stampings are of very robust, heavy gauge steel.
I'll try and describe how this mount works, as I had many doubts when I ordered this and relied on luck that it would work OK.

The wall mounting rail is held to the wall by 4 lag screws (3-1/2" long I think).
I was a bit lucky in that the horizontal center of the TV was very close to halfway between 2 studs. This allowed easy centering of the mounting rail.
However, even if it was worst case, with a stud coming at the center of the TV, the flexible design would still allow for no-problem mounting.
The mounting holes are long slots, allowing for any range of horizontal positioning.
Install the 1st 2 top lags, level of course. Then, you can easily install the bottom 2 lags. Mounting holes must be pre-drilled.
I wondered about the 5 degree tilt option. The brackets that attach to the TV via 2 bolts each have two slots at the top of each. Depending on which set of slots that you use, you get either straight vertical, or 5 degree tilt. 5 degrees is just about perfect for the TV centerline at 5 ft above the floor, and my recliner at 10 ft from the TV. In reality, other distances and angles are just fine also.
To move to vertical, 2 people can lift the TV up and set it back on the other set of slots. So, easy to change if wanted.
As mentioned, with this TV, the vertical brackets attach to the TV with 2 bolts each (my TV). PDR includes all kinds of mounting hardware, for many TV designs.
The brackets have several Ľ" holes, spaced ˝" apart at their bottom part, and slotted holes at the top. This allows for fine adjustment of vertical positioning when attached to the TV, even after the mounting rail is attached to the wall.
Attach all of your connections before hanging the TV on the wall. You cannot get to them after.
After the TV is hung on the rail, it can be slid side-to-side for the full length of the rail, so that the TV can be exactly centered horizontally.
It takes 2 people to hang the TV on the mounting rail (my TV weighs ~100 lbs). Don't try it by yourself at this point. You might be very disappointed.
The locking rail prevents the TV from being lifted off of the wall, and can be padlocked.
This also prevents any inadvertent lifting of the TV off of the mount.

Overall, I found this mount very easy to install, and highly recommend it.

I purchased this from Amazon to use with my new Sony 40" LCD TV. It was extremely strong and well designed for wall mounting my set. It is American made in Corona CA by Davis PDR Mounts Co.
It was necessary to contact them because the Sony KDL-40V2500 does not have a flat back, but has bolt heads sticking out on the back. Luckily The mount came with spacers for mounting the bracket above and below the interfering Bolt heads, and by using them I was able to mount the set easily, just like a picture frame. The bracket also came with a locking bar which prevent removal or theft.
The standard bracket from Sony was about $350 dollars, so this was a better way to go at $80.
Highly recommended.

This mount is very well built, it uses thick metal and likely will never break. It was also very easy to install having multiple attachement points for the TV and all the necessary hardware included in the box. I would definitely buy another PDR mount when it is time to upgrade m other TVs.

This wall mount kit weighed more than the flat screen TV. It is well built with several bolts and spacers for a variety of TV's. The directions are clear but time should be taken to review everything before you bolt it to the wall. Since most wall mounts will need to be tilted for proper viewing, the angle and brackets seem well suited for our living room viewing. Overall, a very good product.

Just received this bracket and I have to say its well worth the money because I was a little hesitant at first because of the price. It is very heavy duty and can easily handle any TV if mounted correctly. I recommend it 100%

Great product. Easy to set up and mount to wall. Great rebate processing in 1 week from mailed form.

This is a great mount for any wall application, but especially if your space is tight. We have two relatively small seminar rooms with large tables, and we cram (too) many students into them for most of our classes, extremely limiting "navigation" space for walking. When we decided to equip the rooms with 42" LCD TVs, we couldn't afford to lose much room by having a TV projecting out from the wall any farther than absolutely necessary. That's when PDR came to the rescue with the 3760SLM Ultra-Slim Mount.

Projecting only 15/16 inch, the mount adds virtually no depth to the TV, and it is amazingly strong if attached properly (one of the installers, who weighs at least 200 pounds, hung on the mount after it was installed to show me). In one of the rooms, we had an existing ceiling mount for a CRT TV and were afraid we would have to go to the expense of removing it, but one of the installers looked at the configuration of the 3760SLM and said, "Just order two of these--I can easily adapt it to that downrod," which he did at a considerable saving in time and expense for us. And not incidentally, he also said regular installation was very straightforward and simple (in fact, the total cost ended up being half of what the original estimate was!).

Beyond the usefulness and quality of the product (and its great value for the money: Given its quality, the price is more than fair, especially with the rebate currently in effect), I can't conclude this review without lauding PDR's customer service: I e-mailed several times to ask various questions, and each time I received a very helpful and complete response within minutes! If only more companies cared about their customers the way PDR obviously does!

In sum, I can find nothing wrong with this product. It does exactly what it says it will; it is a great value; and it is backed by excellent people. Buy it if it fits your application (or, as in our case, even if it isn't exactly what you thought you needed)!
