After looking tirelessly on the internet for swivel mounts, I landed on this mount which was only reviewed by one user. Usually that's not enough for me to hang my hat on, but I took a chance. As has been the case with Amazon these last couple of years, the price and free shipping was too good to pass up. Best Buy locally stocks this mount for $350 plus tax, so you can see how good of a deal this is here. Now for the mount, it's well built at about 30 pounds. The main swing arm is aluminum, with the rest of the components heavier steel. This universal system installed flawlessly in about 15 minutes after I anchored the main wall plate. I took my sweet time on the wall plate assuring myself of an excellent hold and position. The rest was quick. Lifting my 50 inch plasma at 90 pounds with the 30 pound mount was a slight chore, but you easily hang the swing arm (with TV) over the wall plate. It's so easy to turn the TV now and I have a slight tilt downward to square the viewing angle. This thing is great. I would highly recommend it. Be sure to visit the manufacture's web site to confirm your TV model works with the mount.

I initially purchased a vertical tilt only mount at Best Buy, at the same time as I bought my 42'' flat panel TV, but returned it when I realized I could order this on Amazon, same price and full motion, better looking.
The instructions were remarkably easy to follow, and we mounted the TV in about one hour (it takes two people), without any glitches except at the end :make sure you remove the stand that might come attached on the TV BEFORE you screw the mount in. We made that mistake and had to take it apart after the TV was attached to the wall WITH the stand, and we realized the mount's frame was covering the access to the stand's screws. But even that was relatively easy to fix.

I highly recommend this mount, and it's a good deal for the price!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Bracket, January 9, 2007

I love the flexibility of Sanus brackets. They work great on most any TV and they have the best mounting bracket that mounts to the wall. Other manufacturers only work if your TV centers on a perfect stud space or they do not give adequate room to bring wiring/electrical through. This bracket is very flexible for wiring and the screw holes go all the way across; not just at both ends. Just be sure you can get two studs lined up with this bracket or at least a stud on one side and a set of heavy-duty toggle bolts on the other.
My only complaint (as with every other bracket out there) is that there is no easy way for proper wire management. It comes with plastic eyeholes that fit in either top or bottom of the arm so you tie-strap your wires to the bracket which is a nice idea; but unless your just using only composite video and the power cord, forget about trying to get the bracket managable to easily pull out and push back in the TV. I just trimmed my wires to the lenth the bracket would be fully extended and left enough to loop down to the inputs. Then I tie-strapped the wires to the bottom bar just above the inputs. It will not hang below the TV and it is workable enough to push back against the wall without the wires pushing it back away from the wall.
