After reading the review by Steven Alvey, I though I'd post this "review" here rather than just as a comment to his review. He said that the product has mounting screws with strange heads that need a special driver. This intrigued me, so I went to the company's website (www.peerlessmounts.com) and discovered that the ST670 is the "security" version. Model ST670P is the "standard" version. That is why the one on this page has the screws with the unusual heads -- i.e., if it is used in a public space it makes it more difficult to steal the TV. If you want this product but don't want/need the security screws, get the ST670P. http://www.amazon.com/Peerless-ST670P-Universal-Mount-Displays/dp/B000ET97CY

BTW, my 5-star rating is simply based on Steven Alvey's review; I am still shopping for a mounting bracket.

I have a VIZIO 55" LED and the 66 lbs did not even phase this mount. This is a very Heavy Duty mount. I was putting my 55 over my fireplace and did not care about the price, my three goals were: GET 3 STUDS, GET SOMETHING HEAVY DUTY and WITH TILT. Oh my, let me tell you From the hardware to the finish it was the best mount out of all that I researched and physically saw. Great versatility and hardware strength. I can very happily tell you with a peace of mind that your money will be well spent for the quality of PEERLESS.

This is probably the one to get unless your going for thin mount. Places TV 3" off wall plus tilt amount. Better than the ST660 because you can get a better chance of mounting to a stud. If the studs in your wall are to far apart the lower ST660 model will not reach.

I also had to loosen two small screws on each bracket as part of the tilt. Hard to describe except they are the smallest set of screws in a pair. If you don't find and slightly loosen these it will be too firm to operate the tilt... only four stars for no directions or a better adjustment.

Although the instructions on exactly how the tilt mechanism works was not very well described, I was able to figure it out only after taking it apart (and then having to put it back the correct way). After finding the studs, I was able to put it up in about 30 minutes total. Works great, although the long wrench provided for tightening the screws and tilt mechanism is very unique. I have lots of tools but never have seen this. If you lose it down the line, I have not idea how you would get the TV off the wall!! The wrench is similar to an allen wrench but is hollow to accomodate the screws which have a pin in the middle of the allen head so you cannot use a regular allen wrench

Bought this for my Samsun 5271 LCD. Easy to install - all hardware worked as spec'd.
