Sony Wall mount was great. Followed instructions and went up in less than an hour. Was looking at cheaper wall mounts, but decided on this one. Glad I did, fits my Sony Flat screen exactly. Easy to hang also. Bob H.

This review is from: Sony SUWL500 Tilt Wall Mount for Sony KDL-32S3000, KDL-40S3000 and KDL-46S3000 32" to 46" LCD Displays (Black) (Electronics)

We have a Sony 46" KDL-46Z4100 and decided to use the Sony mount instead of a generic brand sold in most stores. The Sony mount was very easy to install, is black which matches the TV (most generic mounts are a silver color). For those folks needing to, or desiring to tilt their TV, this mount tilts up to 15 degrees if desired.

Once installed the total distance from the wall to the front of the TV is approximately 5 3/8". If the studs in your wall are sixteen inches on center you should have no problem installing this wall mount. Ours were not and I was emphatic about having the TV centered in the space we selected to install the TV. Our solution was to use fasteners purchased from Home Depot called "WingIts". The WingIts are rated to 300 lbs each in all directions and may be used in all wall substrates. They are NOT for use in ceilings, walls only. They are expensive but in my opinion worth the price. FYI: The Sony model discussed here is approximately 50 lbs.

Home Depot also sells a special WingIts drill bit which is the precise diameter needed for use with WingIts fasteners. This bit is also expensive at approximately 12.00 to be used as in my case only once or twice. But as the fasteners in my opinion the bit is worth it's price, after all you installing a $2000.00 TV, what's another twelve dollars to make the job safe, correct and easy.

The TV was installed two weeks ago and still hanging today so I am very comfortable with our insulation and the use of the WingIts fasteners, they do the job as advertised.

The only negative we found with the Sony wall mount were the instructions. This mount fits many Sony TV's, from 32 inches to 46" and there is some variance for mounting the different size TV's which this mount accommodates. Making it more difficult the KDL-40Z4100 instructions are not in the wall mounts instillation manual which may make deciphering the instructions confusing. The good news is; Sony packages with the KDL-40Z4100 TV, the instructions for mounting the TV and installing the SUWL 500 Wall Mount Bracket.

If the instructions were clear I would have rated this mount five stars.
