4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for keeping TV level and close to the wall, June 15, 2010
This review is from: Philips SQM6375/27 Simply Straight HDTV Fixed Wall Mount for 42- to 60-Inch Screens (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
First, let me say that this wall mount is exactly the type of mount I like to use. It is very easy to install and keeps the TV close to the wall. Personally, I don't like gadgety wall mounts that pull in and out or angle the TV different ways since they are harder to mount so they look level. Those more complicated mounts also don't keep the TV as flush with the wall as simpler mounts like this one. I know that some people really have a need for the more complicated mounts; but I don't think most home users do. Anyway, the method used by this mount to keep the TV level works great; but, I found that it introduces a new problem, which is why I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5. The problem is this mount makes it much easier to level the TV at the expense of making it harder to center from left to right. I guess it just depends on your personallity for which type of mount you would prefer. If you are the type of person that will spend an extra 20 minutes making sure the mount itself is perfectly level, then you probably don't need this anyway - and a traditional mount will give you the added benefit of allowing the TV to slide left and right a bit to keep it perfectly centered. If you aren't great at leveling things on the wall or prefer to just do some minimal measuring before throwing the mount up, then this mount was made for you!

Much Easier Way to Wall-Mount a TV, and a Great Way to Keep it Balanced, October 28, 2010
This review is from: Philips SQM6375/27 Simply Straight HDTV Fixed Wall Mount for 42- to 60-Inch Screens (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Just to be clear, this mount does not rotate or level from left to right. If you need these things, this is not the mount for you. What it does do, however, is easily keep a TV leveled vertically after mounting, with a clever design. Setup is also a bit easier with this mount. You do have to find studs and put several screws into them along two strips, but nothing extremely complicated. The package even includes a screwdriver, which is one less tool to find. Instructions were a bit fuzzy and could have been better, but were enough to get the job done, and you can find better ones on Philips' website. When mounted, the TV is very close to the wall, but does lift up so you can plug in cables. An organization system for cables would have been nice, but zip ties work just as well. Overall this is a well made product that gets the job done quickly and easily, while solving the common problem of balancing the TV. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Small, light and effective, September 15, 2010
This review is from: Philips SQM6375/27 Simply Straight HDTV Fixed Wall Mount for 42- to 60-Inch Screens (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is a great mount if you do not need to pivot or swivel your TV. The simplicity of the design to place the mount with varying stud positions in the wall and the internal ball level make hitting the right position on the wall a snap. The weight is remarkably light. The swivel and pivot mount I have is many times heavier than this one and also holds the TV out from the wall much further. It is so easy to install, you can do it by following the pictures in the installation guide. You will need a stud finder if you are installing on drywall like me. And currently, the price for this mount hardly covers the price of the aluminum used to make it (at least I think it is aluminum. One side note. The warranty is only one year. I don't understand why - there is so little to fail here.
