5.0 out of 5 stars Wall Mount, August 6, 2006

This wall mount is excellent. Don't be confused by the description however. The "horizontal" adjustment is linear, in other words it moves lateraly from side to side rather than rotates. But, this is a good feature if you have to locate studs to get a proper mount. You can adjust the mount to hit the studs by the many mounting holes and then move the screen to adjust to the center. Also, the package of bolts for connecting the flat screen should be tested in the flat screen mounting holes to make sure that you have the right bolts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confidence-inspiring kit for a novice installer, May 24, 2007

By

This review is from: Peerless ST650P Tilt Wall Mount for 32" to 56" Displays (Black) (Accessory)

This kit gave me a lot of confidence when I installed the mount. Instructions are very clear and include a lot of details, and the diagrams are excellent. Comes with a list of about 800 different TV models and which hardware to use for each. The hardware itself is a marvel of organization: 14 different labeled pouches so you can find exactly what you need instantly. I did need to purchase a couple of screws, but if you can wait they'll send them to you if you call. The instructions were written by someone whose first language is English. The level of detail of the instructions were down to things like making sure you center the brackets vertically on the TV, and how many threads to engage, and what torque you shouldn't exceed on the screws. Many folks won't need that much info, but if you have very limited experience at doing this type of thing like me, you'll appreciate it.

My point of comparison is a Simplicity kit which I returned when I discovered it was a store return and some of the washers had been bent out of shape. That kit had much less information and detail, and of course not all of the necessary hardware (none of which was labeled). One instruction was to test the screws until you found the right size for your TV but to be careful not to damage the threads on your TV by forcing the wrong size screw!

I installed this bracket for my 40" Sony Bravia KDL-40S2000. Only needed to purchase 2 M5 x 16 machine screws from Home Depot, otherwise I am very pleased with this purchase.

UPDATE:

This update is unusual since it replaces my entire review. I should be reviewing the product you would get if you bought this, but I have no idea what product that might be. When I first bought this product, I went to the Peerless website and found detailed technical drawings that gave every detail about measurement and construction. So I'm 100% sure that the mount I got was exactly what Peerless intended. When I noticed that the picture now looks nothing like the mount I own, I went back to the Peerless website to assure that what Amazon has is consistent with what Peerless claims.

Some manufacturers claim that specs are subject to change without notice, but what's the difference between one mount and another aside from design? The one that now has the SAME model number as mine has a backing plate that's barely more than a top and bottom strip. It lacked enough metal for heavier TVs when I bought it, and now they are expecting you to rely on REVIEWS OF A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PRODUCT to decide whether to buy the current inferior looking one.

I'd recommend an AmazonBasics mount instead. They weigh twice as much because they don't leave out the metal. They give you better mounting brackets, a wall plate with a built in level, a stud finder, pivoting bottom latches instead of awkward to reach set screws, and the ability to tilt the TV without awkward lock knobs on each side. I expected the AmazonBasics mount to be ... basic. But I was more than pleasantly surprised by it, and when I checked back on this model to compare specs, I was shocked by what the company did.

Don't get me wrong. This worked adequately for a 46 inch TV when I first got it, but they are no longer giving you the same product. I don't have confidence that I would find the current ones adequate because I did not find their mounting plates adequate across their entire product line back then.

If I expected that you would end up with the mount I got, I'd say that it deserved four stars when I bought it. But there's more competition now, so even the old mount is not the deal it once was.
