Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Peerless ST660 Tilt Wall Mount for 37" to 63" Displays (Black)Customer Review: great mount and customer service! Summary: 5 Stars
i bought this mount earlier this month in anticipation of mounting my new sony KDL52W3000 LCD monitor on the wall in my apartment, which is framed with metal studs. i was full of questions and most skeptical as i didn't know the specs (i.e. gauge) of the studs, etc. i purchased an edge to edge stud finder ($20 at home depot) and as prescribed in the instructions, located the middle of the metal stud. if you are going to be installing these on metal studs, make sure to purchase the peerless ACC415 metal toggler kit. you won't be able to install it on the walls without it.
i was apprehensive when i received the mount as i reviewed the instructions; would this work on an interior wall? the television weighs nearly 70 lbs without the stand and the last thing i wanted was to come home and find it on the floor! i went to the peerless website and used their "live chat" feature (again, i was skeptical) and recieved definitive answers to my questions regarding whether or not this would work. yes, as long as i used the metal togglers and installed as the instructions specified, it would in fact support up to 150 lbs!
when i finally got around to marking out the spot where the set was going to be, i installed the brackets on the back of the set; evidentally, sony changed the depth of the mounting screws on the rear of the set and two of the screws appeared too long. again, i consulted the "live chat" customer support area and they explained that it was okay to use the shorter screws as long as they made three complete turns into the set.
so with that, i proceeded to mount the plate on the wall, following the instructions to the letter, the metal togglers worked perfectly.
with MUCH trepidation, we mounted the set up on the wall...which is where it sits to this moment. it is tight and snug with no play, no shaking, nothing!
all in all, a great experience...buy with confidence! the package comes with every possibly screw and washer you'll need for the job...and again, their customer service made the whole experience that much more pleasant. all you have to remember, is to make SURE you are in the center of the stud when you put the plate up (not into drywall or something similiarly idiotic) and follow the instructions exactly! i was prepared to pay upwards of $300 to get this professionally installed, but i'm just delighted i saved the money and did it myself! again, with some basic home improvement knowledge, this is a perfectly do-able project...don't be frightened by the endless suggestions by salesmen or manuals that "they strongly reccommend having this done by a professional..." follow the instructions and spend the money you saved on more gear :)
