We had a wooden stud to drive a single screw into (which was a job), and this provides all the anchor we need to hold the mount and TV. We needed to mount a 26" LG LCD TV. The LG TV does not have good contrast when viewed from below, so we also tilt the TV forward slightly as well as swivel it. We have a very small, corner location in the Kitchen and want to be able to pull the TV out from the wall and then swivel it when in use, pushing it back flat and out of the way when not in use. The Peerless mount is great. Good product. I recommend it if you have a small TV to mount.
Peerless PA740 Articulating Wall Mount for 22-Inch to 40-Inch Flat Panel Displays (Gloss Black) This product was easy to install. I have a 32" LCD that needed to be mounted on a sidewall and this product was what I needed.
I would not buy it if it would need frequent adjustment or if kids or a crowd were going to be handling it. The included screws for wooden stud mounting are flathead Phillips, but for the torque required, hex head lag bolts or a very large Robertson would have been a more appropriate choice. I think that's why the price on this was so reasonable vs. My set weighs, I think, 50 lbs.
The installation instructions were well done and the machining and parts were top notch. Comments:1. 2. It would have been nice of them to include a CAD drawing with exact dimensions, because I had to do a fair amount of figuring to determine that if I wanted the TV exactly centered on the wall, the stud would have had to be 3-3/16" inches off center.
It may also be necessary to adjust this due to flexing from the increased load on the bracket as a larger TV is pulled out from the wall and angled. You can forget about screwing this into an old-growth stud by hand. I wanted this centered on a wall, but there was no stud dead center, so I had to offset it about 4". It can appear centered, however, by pulling it out from the wall about 10 inches. This was the recommended mount for my Samsung LN-T4081 40" LCD with VESA 200 mounting, and the price was right.
(In other words don't plan on centering your TV on the wall).4. The orbital adjustment is nice in case the bracket is not mounted perfectly vertical. 5. A 40-inch LCD is definitely at the limit of what this can handle. Otherwise I would have to open the wall and add framing, or have a machine shop make up a custom bracket. Everything fit together as expected. If fully extended and angled horizontally, I would not want to add any loading or pressure on the far end of the TV.
I am not sure if the WSP accessory bracket could be modified to compensate in a case like this. 3. It gets pretty wobbly. the prices I saw for heavier-duty wall mounts.
I originally bought this wall mount for my Father for the 37" inch LCD Samsung we bought him. I have also seen it at Costco, if you are a member, you may want to check there. It is very well built and was easy to mount and to get the display on it. When my Father passed away at 92, we moved the display and the mount into what we call our "Wii room." It's great to be able to move the display to different positions and then put it back flat against the wall. The price has gone down and you should be able to get it [.]. You won't be disappointed with this mount.
This is a very sturdy wall mount. It was easy to install and comes with all you will need to mount on any surface. It articulates very nicely.
