4.0 out of 5 stars 2+ Years Experience with this Mount, December 31, 2008

I own two of these mounts. The first one I bought over two years ago to hold a 37" LCD. The mount has performed flawlessly over that time and is still rock solid. We use the full range of motion and change the position frequently (daily). It is still as solid as the day we installed it. Remember, this is an older 37" LCD. I imagine it's likely heavier than a "new" 37" screen.

I just bought another one of these to hold a 19" LCD. The mount tucks up nicely (almost completely) behind a panel even that small. It gets moved constantly (3+ times per day) and I'm sure it's up to the task. I prefer this one's matte-black finish to the silver finish of my first mount, but both are neat and attractive.

Overall, this is an extremely sturdy mount at 37" and under. Joint tension is able to be adjusted with the supplied socket tool. Once you hit the sweet spot on the joints, monitor movement is fluid-but-firm. If you need an articulating mount that gets "worked" on a daily basis, this is the one. The only reason that I give it four stars instead of five is that the construction is so heavy you would expect it should hold units larger than 37". I still wouldn't suggest trying to exceed design limits, whatever my personal impression of the product might be.

Installation notes: It is a huge advantage that it can be mounted to a single stud. In both instances I was able to install extra supporting lumber, but if you hit a single stud solidly, you'll be fine. I'd also strongly recommend getting four lag screws to replace the Phillips-head wood screws supplied. You'll find yourself ripping the heads right off the wood screws. The lag screws go in like butter by comparison.

I got this arm to hold a 32" Samsung LCD TV in the bedroom and it works great and was fairly easy to install. Getting the mount onto the wall was pretty easy, but driving those massive screws into a stud took a lot of torque! The hard part came after letting my arm rest and attaching the adapter plate to the back of the TV when it was time to attach the TV to the arm. This part definitely takes two patient people, but standing on a chair made it easier so that I could hold the TV and look down and help line up the holes on the mounting bracket for the other person. The shocking part was that 4 tiny 5mm screws are all that is needed to hold my expensive TV to the arm, but whatever works... The arm is easy enough to articulate and is very sturdy. My only gripe with the product is that it did not come with a 200mm X 200mm mounting bracket so I had to order one separately so it would work with my Samsung. It only included a 100mm X 200mm bracket for some reason, so I deduct one star for that omission.

Absolutely everything that it was marketing to be. The cable run has plenty of room for the power cord, a coax cable and maybe one other. Componenent cables would make it too tight.

The arm is very sturdy, and even mounted in a RV the TV doesn't move while driving down the road, yet is easy enough to move manually.

I am quite pleased with the quality and durability of this product.
