PURCHASE THIS MOUNT!
I originally purchased a mount from Best Buy for almost $200 and when I got it home I decided to check Amazon for a better deal.
This was the outcome of a very short search. I ordered this mount and it showed up at my house in two days. This item is very well made and nicely finished in flat black powdercoat. I hung a 52" lcd on it in about 1/2 hour time.
DO...

It Screwed Me
The wall mount itself is fine. It is very strong but the screws that come with the package were some of the weakest screw I have seen. I work in construction and when I saw the screws they gave me I was very hesitant to use them. All the screws snapped when they got close to the end, I had to go buy heavy duty screws to secure the mount.

DO NOT spend $200 on a wall mount!
By the way....the Best Buy mount went back the next day.

I was a little concerned about purchasing this mount because it was so much less expensive than many of the others. I don't have extensive experience with HD TV wall mounts but this one does the job well and I am NOT disappointed. My only complaint is that the screws that it comes with for attaching it to the wall are crap. Two of them broke when I was screwing them into wooden studs - not plaster or concert but simple 2x4 wall studs! As a result my confidence level in the screws diminished and I went to the hardware store to buy new more robust ones. I still gave it 5 stars because other than that it as excellent value and I do not see any reason to buy a more expensive flat panel wall mount.

I was needing a mount for a 50" plasma. This one looked ok for the price. Real Home Theaters had it listed for the best price. I had some questions, so I called them. They asked all the right questions, and since my TV was a 50, they gave me a free upgrade to a better mount for the same price as the one I called about. These guys rock, and they have installers ready to answer the phone that I found to be really helpful. I write this to tell you my friend liked mine so much that he ordered one, his came from WarehouseSeller. I can't tell you how much better we both like mine than his. Tilt up and down, locking levers instead of wing nuts, and an open plate in the back to let the wires through. They even have a lifetime warranty. I've attached some pictures under customer images so you can see the difference.

I looked around many sites and read many discriptions for a wall mount for my 42' Sharp. This one fit the bill perfectly for the price. It came with all the adapters needed for the Sharp (which recommends their own for about twice as much...). Very easy to install, just find the studs in the wall. It helps to have two people... first to make sure it is installed at the right spot, second, to lift the TV to hook on. It also helps to have someone hold the bottom of the TV while you make the tilt adjustments...Overall I'm very satisfied with this product...

This TV mount was great. I used it to put up a 32" LG LCD TV in my bedroom. A 32" TV is the minimum since the wall bracket is visable around the sides. The bars covered up some of the connections on the back of the TV, but that is a problem with the TV, not the mount. I did buy some stronger stud bolts from a local hardware store since I wanted to be sure the TV would not fall. However, all hardware does come with the mount, including some very needed extenders since the TV pre-drilled holds were not very deep. The 15 degree tilt function works great. Be sure to have a stud finder to line up to attach the bracket correctly. I plan to buy two more for bigger TVs.

This is the second mount I bought the first one wasn't the right type but I am glad it wasn't for this mount is perfect for my needs.
I placed the 37" TV on a flat surface on top of a blanket to prevent scratching. I screwed the side brackets on. (I placed mine on upside down but I figured it out before and real work was done.) Time to mount the wall plate. I went and sat down in a chair opposite from where the TV was going to be and "eyeballed it" a bit higher. I then marked it with a pencil. I am not going to tell you the exact measurement because everyone is different so just make it at the height that you want it and remember the higher it is the more you have to look up to watch it unless you stand to watch TV. Okay now your gonna need a level you can try to fake it but I wouldn't since you are screwing holes in you wall. Draw a line with the level and line up the wall plate and screw it in. Some people say you should use better bolts then the ones that came with the mount well I used the ones that came with it and they worked fine.
You have the TV on the floor with the side brackets attached and you have the wall plate level and screwed to the wall. I wanted a more clean look so I drilled 1/2 inch holes in the wall with a hole bit on my drill so I could pass the cables through it. I would suggest you go ahead and do this even if you are not ready to attach all the cables.
Time to place the TV on the wall plate. Attaching the cables to the back of the TV is probably a good idea but not a necessity but it makes life easier. Pick the TV up and place the little hooks on the brackets to the wall mount and let go! Don't worry it will hold. Tighten the little clamps and make sure the safety screw is there.
Your done with the mounting now you just have to adjust. The mount allows you to tilt the TV but you have to unscrew the little knobs on side and if the TV isn't exactly right where you want it you can slide it from side to side a few inches.
There is enough room to reach your hand behind the TV to plug in cables but its tight and you have to look at a diagram of the connections on the back but it can be done.
For good measure and I wouldn't recommend doing this I held onto the top of the TV and hung from it for a second just to see how well it held. The TV didn't fall so I guess it did well.
Buy this TV mount you will enjoy it.

Mounted my Samsung 50" plasma using this mount. My display is about 70 pounds.
Installation was fairly simple. The back plate is 30 inches wide, so you will only be able to get 2 studs max. Important points:
1. It is very important to make sure the lag bolts drill into the studs.
2. The included hardware is iffy, so go spend the $5 at your local hardware store and get some better bolts.
3. The level on the back plate is not 100% accurate, so make sure to use your own.
The important thing to to measure where you want your holes and then measure them again and then make sure everything is level.
The construction of the mount and rails felt very sturdy.
For those that have never mounted a tv before there are 2 parts. A back plate that bolts on to your wall and then 2 rails that bolt onto the back of your display. You then place your display on the backplate. The rails have hooks to secure it onto the plate and then screws at the bottom to make sure it doesn't come off.
Distance between the back of the display and the wall is about 2.25 inches. This is fairly tight and makes it difficult to hook up cables, so make sure your cables are hooked up before mounting the display.

Despite having nightmares for three days about waking up to a cracked in half 50" plasma KURO, this mount is still going strong. I'm giving it a 4 because I DID have to go and buy much stronger anchors for the brick that I mounted it into. They're not expensive... just inconvenient. But for the price of the mount, who cares?
