Customer Review: Pleased to have made this purchase !!`
Summary: 4 Stars
Im very pleased to have made this purchase . I almost bought the "made in china " model at Wal mart , but decided my 52 samsung deserved better . Installation was lengthy , because I did the project solo until the lift in place , I highly reccommend this product to any future buyers !! Made in the USA !!Customer Review: PDR TV Mount
Summary: 4 Stars
Very simple and sturdy mount. Measure a few times and make sure you hit a stud and this works great. Only issue with this mount is adjusting the tilt. You will need to remove the TV to get to the Tilt adjustment.Customer Review: Is Heavy Duty
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to install and very heavy duty. Kind of wish it would tilt up 5 degrees so the rear input/output panel would be more accessable. Worth the money I paid for it.Customer Review: Heavy duty but with a downside
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the tilting version for a Sony XBR4 52 inch to install above my gas fireplace.
KNOBS: It was self installed with a friend which with simple instructions was easy enough. It was only when hanging the TV that I really wished I had a good view of how well the TV was seated on the base attached to the wall. So loosening the tilt knobs was necessary to get a good view and tilt it forward. Now unless you have child-like arms or special tools your not going to be able to get your arm in that 2-3 inch gap to retighten the knobs with the TV now obstructing you, thus requiring taking the TV down, tightening and hanging again. For added fun, the knobs rear bolt is not seated in the metal so it requires, one hand to hold the back of the knob bolt and one to turn the front. If I was hanging from the ceiling like Mission Impossible I could have got a better angle for the tightening. WOULD love for locking angles instead of adjustable knob twisting. I am a first-time TV installer so now I have a preference. For the average guy trying the install it's something to think about.
HOOKS: The mounting arms connected to the TV would be better in my opinion by not having "highly" rounded edges on the hooks. I know when tilted the weight of the TV and the theft bar on the bottom should keep it taught enough from falling off the wall mount base, but with the questionable knob tightening, its a hairy combination that leaves me less than confident the TV won't fall with a mild tremor.
Get a good stud finder. The Black & Decker Wal-mart edition for 10 bucks was almost useless and would beep constantly even over obviously unstudded areas. Maybe something to do with the fireplace perhaps.
Overall I'm just happy enough, lazy enough or cheap enough not to have another mount shipped and give it another try.
Customer Review: Fasteners too short Samsung LN46A650
Summary: 3 Stars
New Bad points:
1. Needed 50 mm bolts for Samsung. 40 mm were provided. 40 mm is too short. (See item 4)
2. At 0 degrees tilt, the LCD is off a full bubble from vertical. I had to shim mount so the screen was not pointing down.
3. The picture shown is incorrect. The center hole in the bracket is much larger. I assume they are making $ on the scrap.
4. The short screws are too short and the long screws are either too long without the stand-off, or too short. There should be 1.5 to 2 times the screw diameter of thread engagement. At best I have .25 screw diameter. I have to find longer screws or shorter standoffs. The standoffs are one inch long. They should be about 5/8" long. I would rather had 5/8 and 3/8 included.
The good points:
The mount appears to be very sturdy and solid, but I won't know until I purchase the new fasteners.
