I bought this mount for a 46" Sony LCD TV and am pleased overall. Knowing I only paid $104 (with shipping) for this mount, I knew that I would be sacrificing some quality for value. After reading some of the other favorable reviews, I decided to go with this product. To my surprise, this mount is built solid and installation was straight forward (eventhough the instructions were hard to understand). I installed it towards the corner of our room hoping to swing it out in front of the corner so it would face the center of the room at a 45 degree angle. I was able to do it that way and it looks great. When I mounted the back plate to the wall it was dead-level but it droops noticeably to the side after you swing the TV out and the tv's weight is more off-center. To fix the problem I re-mounted the back plate slightly off-level in the opposite direction so when it swings out it is level. For me, that was not a big deal considering this mount was so affordable. I would recommend this mount if you dont mind fine tuning the installation (depending on your setup). My TV weighs about 45 lbs and I have the mount swung out all the way to the left. If you have a lighter TV or dont need to swing it so far out you may not have the issues I experienced.

I spent more time researching the mount for my grandparents TV than I did the TV itself (Sony BRAVIA Z Series KDL-46Z5100 46-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV). They had a 39 inch wide TV nook next to their fireplace, and we wanted the Sony to fit snug in front. I built a brace that goes across the nook about 9 inches from the front of it, using 2x6s attached to studs on the sides, and 2 2x4s spanning across and notched into the 2x6s. I attached this wall mount to the 2x4s, just as if there were a real wall back there.

This is a very solidly built mount. The Sony is 45 pounds, and it does not sag a bit with the arms extended all the way forward. The dual arm lets you adjust position laterally, forward and back, and some rotation side to side. Adjusting the tilt is easiest if you take the TV off the mount. A reasonably strong guy should be able to handle a 50 or 60 pound TV without assistance. The Sony, for example, is easy to grab. By contrast, my older XBR3 was awkward to grab.

I am giving this mount 5 stars despite one of the bottom screws being installed cross-threaded. A trip to the hardware store and 60 cents solved that. Installing a mount is pretty straight-forward. Find studs to bolt it into. Make sure it's level. Blah blah. The instructions have good hieroglyphics, but the English is laughable. The screws and stuff are separated nicely into little plastic pockets labeled with letters, making it simple to follow the pictures and put it together.

Tip (1): When I got my brace built, mount attached, and TV up on the mount -- a couple hours work -- the 46" set was slightly but noticeable off-level. Well, actually, it was pretty level, but the fireplace mantel wasn't quite level and had some lines near the TV that made it look slightly off. I used a piece of felt under the left-top hanger to even things out. So don't sweat it if you come out a little off, you can adjust that easily and cheaply.

Tip (2): I'd bet with a heavier TV, it would be easy to adjust the mount by pulling it in and out all the time, because you'd have some weight helping you. With a 50 pound TV, the mount doesn't move at the touch of a finger. This kind of mount works best to put the TV into a position you'd like it to be in (mostly) permanently. If you're just getting started with your research, solid is way more desirable than super-flexible, and this mount does solid very well.

Fantastic quality, This mount is much nicer and stronger then the one I've seen at Circuit City for nearly $400.00. Very satisfied.

This is a solid, well-made product.It comes with everything you to mount on the wall. It is simple, strong and reasonable price.

I was a little skeptical of this product. I received this wall mount in 3 days. The product worked exacted as stated in desc.

Overall I am very happy and thank AMAZON to help me save money.

I have 3 year old 50" Plasma and decided it to put on the wall when I remodel the room.

I like the dual arms since my TV is old and heavy and dual arms hold my TV more stable. I can pull it away from the wall to access the wires and adjust the left to right when I sit in dinner room. It seems very sturdy and has worked great for my TV. I am very happy with it and said the quality was top notch.
