I reviewed many wall mounts. This one supports my 40" flat screen perfectly and the price was excellent.
It took less than one hour to hang the mount. I purchased this mount for my 42" Panasonic Plasma. The instructions were not great (nothing written, just pics), but it is simple enough. I screwed the mount into 2 studs & it is not going anywhere. And the one touch tilt feature is really one touch. All you have to do is match the right screws for your particular tv.
And with the tilt feature, it was even simple to connect the wires / cables to the back (although I suggest doing so before you hang the tv - it's just one less thing to do once it's on the wall). The packaging was in order & all screws are in individual packages (so you only have to open the package you neeed). Once the mount was up, it was very easy to hang the tv. Unfortunately, as others have posted, I broke 2 lag screws, and they were just halfway in the wall. I suggest you go to the hardware store & get 4 high quality lag screws & washers (well worth it). The tv slides from left to right so it's easy to center before you lock the tv in place.
I highly recommend this mount (especially for the price - I saw this exact mount @ Wal-mart for $114)
The brackets went on quickly, and we simply lifted the TV to hang on the mount. I expected this to be a complicated installation, so I was glad to see what looked like a well packaged item.3 major parts and associated nuts and bolts. I read all the great reviews this product received, so there were no surprises when I opened and installed this mount. Two more screws fitted to the bottom of the brackets ensure the TV can't be lifted off without removing them. The installation manual was entirely illustrative, but done well enough that there were no questions about how to install.After a lot of measurements and verifying stud locations (for my own satisfaction), the wall mount went up quickly. The supplied 2.5 inch lag bolts firmly bonded the mount to the wall, which gave me the satisfied feeling that my 50 inch Samsung wasn't going to budge an inch.The kit comes with a variety of screws to fit the brackets to most HDTVs, and of course the screws for my Samsung fit perfectly. The tilt mechanisms are a bit hard to reach, but I'm planning on keeping this at a fixed tilt, so no issues here.Believe the reviews on this one. I highly recommend this high quality mount over the seemingly generic ones found at the local chain department stores.
So far I am very pleased with product. Easy to mount and clear instructions.
Very sturdy, nice black paint finish. But, we hung up the tv anyways and there is no problem. I got a 46" Sony HDTV on this mount. We used a stud finder to pinpoint exactly where to drill and a level to ensure straight orientation. I recommend taking your time, have 2 people to do this job, and DONT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS. 4 bolts holds the tv in place and 4 bolts to the wall to hold the mount/tv assembly.It was an easy job for 2 people who have beginner to intermediate experience in home projects. I was freaking out because the screw was stuck in the wall and there was no way to get it out.
That justs proves to me the quality of this Sanus mount.Overall, nice mount, has the tilting feature. The build quailty on this product is phenomenal. My hdtv is on the mount currently with 3 out of the 4 bolts in the wall. It took us about 1.5 hours to complete, and that was really taking our time to make sure we installed correctly. The only thing that went wrong is I was screwing in 1 of the bolts into the wall and tightened too much causing the bolt head to break off. Mounting positions are flexible so you don't have to be dead on every measurement. Also, we needed a drill, screwdriver, and socket wrench.
