Home > Consumer Reviews > 15" To 32" Pivoting LCD/Plasma Mount (VM-230)

This is a great LCD wall mount. It is very well made and you cannot beat it for the price. I mounted a 24" Dell Ultrasharp LCD on the wall. The pattern on the Dell Monitor is VESA 100 (the bracket can hold a 75 or 100). Since the bracket can hold up to a 32" monitor, it has a large LCD mounting plate. I had to modify the mounting plate and hacksaw off all four sides so it would fit flush into the monitor. It came out fine. I didn't use the included mounting bolts (they are massive, definitely would be needed for a larger monitor). I just used some smaller heavy duty bolts and screwed them right into the stud. Overall, the bracket is great and serves its purpose. By the way, it comes with a pretty cool pocket sized level.

I am using this with a 19" toshiba lcd. It replaces a double arm articulating mount I had purchased (as a supplosed deal)off ebay and had used for about 6 months- and was a total hassle. Tilt kept "slipping" so that the tv was pointing down, essentially couldn't handle the load although it was rated for up to 30 lbs and the Toshiba is 21 lbs, and I was always worried about extending the arms out too far.
So this Vangaurd, especially in comparison, is awesome. It is a simpler design, perfect if you don't need tilt. Much beefier, just feels solid, even the mounting screws are beefy, 3/4"
Solid, simple design, includes all hardware, a template, and even a good quality bubble level!
Looks great, I won't need to replace this one.

This is a well made solid product at a great price compared to what you'd pay at Best Buy or Circuit City. Installation directions were clear too.

It's great, with all the parts separated and labeled as it were new. Looks new too.

Pros:

* Great Design
* Supports a signifigant amount of weight
* Great swivel radius

Cons:

* No tilt feature
* I had to trim the edges of mine a little to fit my KDS LCD
