5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Articulating Arm!, September 18, 2005

This review is from: Peerless SA740P Articulating LCD Wall Mount for 22-40" LCD Screens (Black) (Electronics)

I purchased a 32" flat panel LCD HDTV for our bedroom and wanted to wall mount it to get it off the floor and take advantage of it's thin profile. The problem was finding decent mounting systems at our local "Big Box" electronic stores. Not to mention the high price. After a lengthy Internet search, I settled on this brand and model. We wanted to be able to move our TV to different positions (while still being fixed mounted on the wall) so we could watch it from various points in our bedroom (from the bed, from a sitting area, from the bathroom, etc). Most of the mounts I found on the Internet cost a fortune and did little more than tilt your TV up and down. This Peerless arm does so much more. It swings, swivels, and tilts to virtually any viewing angle you can imagine or need. Plus the mounting plate will fit virtually any LCD or plasma model. I suggest visiting the Peerless web site for specific information regarding compatibility with your TV brand and model.

Prices for this item were all over the board during my Internet research. I would discourage you from shopping at the lowest price sources listed at Amazon.com. I went through the long ordering process with Beach Audio.com only to find out (at the last ordering screen) that their shipping and handling costs were about twice the cost of the arm! What a deceiving rip-off. Instead, I purchased the arm through [...]. This web site has a bounty of useful information about TV and monitor mounting options. I highly recommend a look here for information, even if you don't buy from them.

I received the mount via UPS in about five days (the $9.99 shipping and handling was much more reasonable than other places). I am a "do it yourselfer" and found the installation to be easy. I think if you are even a bit mechanically inclined and have basic tools you won't have much trouble installing the unit. Find a wall stud, mark the location of the arm on the wall, drill two pilot holes into the stud, screw the arm into the wall stud with two large wood screws and screw the TV into the arm's support plate. Even if you mount the arm a bit crooked, you can still level the TV with one of the arm's adjustment screws. I highly recommend having two or more people available to help hold the TV in place while attaching it to the support arm plate.

I am very, very pleased with this articulating arm. It looks great, only sticks out about 3 inches from the wall, it has a neat system for hiding the power cord and cable wires from view, and it can be adjusted effortlessly to an infinite number of viewing angles. I was a bit leery of placing a $1000+ TV investment on a wall mount, but this unit is surprisingly strong. Even though the TV weighs a lot, the arm moves it around with very little effort.

If you are looking for a wall mounted articulating arm with lots of flexibility for TV viewing angles, this is a great, ingenious product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Won't be disappointed with this Peerless Mount, August 14, 2006

I just finished installing this mount for my 32" Sony LCD, and I am very happy with my selection. After looking at dozens of mounts online, this one stood out right away for its aesthetics and clean lines. I saw many articulating arms in the $200+ range that appeared to be over engineered and frankly were not as clean as this peerless mount.

It was very easy to install the single stud mounting system, once I was able to find the stud. The screws it comes with are definitely heavy duty, and my only hang up was being able to screw them in all the way. Had to MacGyver it with a drill screw bit and a wrench for leverage, but eventually I got it in. Definitely no worries there in the mount being able to support my 32" Sony.

The mount appears to be made very well. Heavy duty and not flimsy. I was also impressed with the fact that there was enough clearance for my 32" tv to rotate 90 degrees either way. A little effort is required to swivel out the TV, but the viewing angle tilt works perfect. As well as the surprising left/right tilt (just in case you mount it slightly crooked - another great surprise).

Of course I've never tried a $400 mounting system. But its hard to imagine one that can do more. Except maybe some kind of featherlight swiveling system.

Great product. Came with all the necessary hardware to mount my Sony VESA compliant TV. Would highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware, piece of the puzzle is missing, August 8, 2007

This review is from: Peerless SA740P Articulating LCD Wall Mount for 22-40" LCD Screens (Black) (Electronics)

I'm giving it three because it wasn't clear just what I needed and I'm hoping the thing doesn't fall off the wall.
I bought this because at the top of the screen it says "Peerless Articulating Mount for 22"- 40" Flatscreen TV's" and I had purchased a 40" tv. Well, two weeks later, when someone is helping me hook it up we realize it doesn't fit. WTF??? Scouring Sony's website is no use. It doesn't give mounting information. Another look at the product specs on this page reveals "Product Description: The Articulating LCD Wall Arm supports 22" to 37" LCD screens." Once again, WTF??? Did I buy the right one or not? The Peerless website said it is compatible with this (Bravia kdl 40v2500)TV, right???? Nope, oh wait a second!!! It seems that there's an ADAPTER PLATE that I also need, in addition to this mount. No big deal, another $70. However, had I known this I would have bought it by now. Thanks so much for making it clear.
