Vanguard VM-435C Cantilever Type Television Wall Mount (Black) Review

I purchased this for my son after many weeks of searching and comparing ratings. He installed it which was very easy and it is very very solid with no sway whatsoever, even on a 32" flat screen. The price was, by far, much much lower than anyone else for the same item. This was a real winner both in pricing, quality and customer service. I highly recommend this item to everyone. PLUS the price can't be touched elsewhere!!!!

CE-MT0912-S1 Universal Tilting TV Mount - 32" to 60"/32-60 Black Review

Best Buys geek squad installed the wall mount for me because I bought my 58 inch tv from them. Sadly, the geek squad trusted the level that is attached to the Siig wall mount instead of using their own level. My tv was off by 1/4 of an inch which was noticeable but I didn't catch until the next day in the daylight. Then Best Buy wanted to charge me $100 to come back and correct their mistake. The mount is very sturdy and I like it a lot since it is an articulating mount. I would recommend it but just make sure you check a second level!

Kanto KMFMX2 Full Motion Articulating Mount 37"-65" Review

Kanto KMFMX2 Full Motion Articulating Mount 37-65
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
SUMMARY:
I got this mount for a Samsung PN50C7000 TV. I was researching mounts on monoprice.com, but this came out to about the same price delivered on sale as comparable mounts there and I had the flexibility of being able to take it back to Costco locally if I didn't like it. It easily holds up the 54lbs, 50" TV without any major, noticeable sag. Overall, I would give it 3.5 stars out of 5, taking off ½ a star off for the arms not being easy to move in and out and 1 star off for the terrible tilting function.
ABOUT MOUNT:
Out of the box, the front plate was very off center. It worried me for a second until I realized you can easily adjust that. It was actually very simple to adjust after getting the mount up on the wall and before putting the TV on it. Just loosen the 4 bolts that attach the front plate, level, and tighten back up. It is designed that way, but I would still think that out of the box, it should have been leveled already. No big deal though.
The bolts that attach to the arms also didn't seem evenly tightened out of the box. One side slides out easier than the other. Even though I adjusted them a bit, I didn't want to overdo it because I was afraid it may cause the TV to sag once mounted. Overall both sides are still stiff and require pulling or pushing the TV from both sides to slide in or out. So with a bigger TV it would require two people on both sides of the TV to move in/out if one person cannot reach both sides easily from the front. I plan to try and use some wd40 to see if that will help make the motion a bit smoother.
Lastly, the tilting function is terrible. You have to take the TV off the mount to adjust the tilt. First time I put it up, I had it tilting up way too far. I took it off to try to even it, but it ended up facing down a bit the second time. I decided to live with it down a bit even though I'd prefer it to be even since I didn't want to keep taking the TV on and off. I may try to fix that in the future if it bothers me enough.
INSTALLATION:
This was my first time trying to mount a TV on the wall, so I researched a bit to make sure I didn't majorly screw up the process. It is actually very simple over all and should take only 30 min or so (not accounting time to move everything out of the way and measure, double measure and then triple measure everything :) But I guess that's the case with a lot of projects, prep time is longer than actual execution.
I used the trick of locating a stud by taking off a power outlet and looking to the left/right of it to see where it was. From there other studs were 16" apart. This is a good way to visually verify the location of the studs instead of just relying on a stud finder. The directions require you to then predrill with a 3/16" bit, a length of 3 1/8" into the stud. This is pretty tough because most normal 3/16" bits are not that long. You have to keep the bit on the very edge in your drill which is scary because you may just break off the drill inside the stud near the end. I used the bolt placed against the bit to figure out the length of the hole I would need and then very slowly drilled the hole with the bit at the very tip of the drill. It was actually almost 3.5" deep. I also heard issues about bolts breaking off into wall studs so I used some WD40 on the bolt before screwing it into the stud. Worked great and was able to easily get the lag bolts into the stud (just make sure u don't get the wd40 on your hands or the ratchet will start slipping while you try to torque :)
The spot where I needed the TV just happened to be spaced with a stud in about the center with adjacent studs 16" to left and right of it. So I mounted the wall plate on the two studs to the right, but spaced it as far left as possible. Then when I hung up the TV I was able to get it a bit more to the left by sliding it off center towards the left on the front mounting plate until it was in the desired location. My TV is exactly 48" wide, so that means I was able to mount the TV about 12" or so off center without any sagging. It doesn't sag left or right while it's retracted against the wall, or extended fully 20" away from it. The TV is only 54lbs, so maybe that's why I can get away with it, but I plan to upgrade in the future and wouldn't hesitate to mount a heavier TV the same way on this mount.
The mount is pretty heavy and I thought it would be easier to remove the extension arms with the front plate off the wall plate while bolting that to the wall. Although this made putting up the wall plate a bit easier, it was a huge pain to get arms mounted back on with the wall plate attached to the wall. In retrospect, it would have probably been a better idea to just deal with the extra weight for a few minutes.

Average Reviews:

Originally I felt like the item was going to be very nice but after having it up on the wall for about 2 months the arm doesn't hold the TV straight anymore. The piece that attaches to the studs in the wall is level and in very sturdy but the extending arm is slowly leaning down and it's an LED tv...not heavy. When chatted with a customer service rep at Amazon (the seller) below is what happened.
[executive summary: nothing, no number to call, a cust serv rep that couldn't do anything, and a pending email I may never receive....oh I did lose $89 out of the deal and a 35 min chat session to boot]
=============
You are now connected to Neha from Amazon.com.
Me:the item is beginning to degrade, the arm is not supporting the tv at a level position any longer. I'd like to get a full refund vs a partial refund since the item is simply not performing over a realistic amount of time.11:06:34
Me:hello
Me:hello?
Neha:Hello, my name is Neha. I'll be happy to help you.

Neha:I understand this, but we do need to follow the sellers policy.
Me:do you have the phone number I can contact them at?
Neha:I request you to contact seller and if they are not willing to help you we will provide you a partial refund in your account.
Neha:0800 855 005
Neha:This is there number.
Neha:Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me:it says on the invoice that
Me:Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC
Me:so you are not the seller?
Me:???
Neha:Yes, you need to contact the manufacture not the seller.
Neha:The number is of the manufacture.
Me:is that international?
Neha:It is a toll free number that i have provided you.
Me:there are not enough digits for it to be a US number
Me:I assume it's 1 800 something right?
Neha:Let me check this, cause thats the number that they have provided us.
Neha:Yes. its 1800.
Neha:Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me:so the number is 1800 0800 855 005 ?

Me:the numbers you are supplying are not US toll free numbers
Neha:try this one.
Me:busy tone
Me:when I dial 1 800 613 9581
Me:this is why I want to deal with amazon to get a refund for a product that is NOT functioning as advertised and not a random phone number
Neha:Michael, i will request you to dial the number after some time and if you are not able to get through, we will issue a partial refund in your account.
Neha:Will that work for you?
Me:no, I'd like a full refund for starters and the number you are supplying is not the right number...so who am I going to contact?
Neha:A full refund can not be given as the item has expired the return date.
Me:so are you saying you don't stand behind this product to hold a tv on the wall for more than 2
months?

Me:why don't you put someone on that can do something if they want
Neha:I am sorry, a request has been sent and i have left a note in your account that it should be considered.
Neha:Is there anything else I can do for you today?

Peerless Universal Articulating Wall Arm for 37-Inch - 71-Inch Flat Panel Screens (Black) Review

Peerless Universal Articulating Wall Arm for 37-Inch - 71-Inch Flat Panel Screens (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This wall mount is a beast. It's cast aluminum and steel construction and it is definitely heavy duty. It accommodated a 75 pound LCD TV with ease. It does require some skill to install, especially if your wall framing isn't specifically set up for this mount. The cast aluminum mounting holes on the arms are 16" on center and have a sliding feature that allows you to slide the TV left or right a total of about 12". You might squeak out another few inches if you move the mounting plate on the back of the TV left or right, but plan on having the mount close to the center of your mounting point. My framing was set up so that I wound up milling some 1" ash lumber about 4" wide and using that to catch three studs. I could then attach this mount to the ash on the wall to put the TV dead center on the wall.
The actual mount is two pieces. The articulating arm mounts on the wall and the plate that goes on the back of your TV. It has a clever two bolt drop in system that allows you mount the wall arm and then slide the TV and TV mount onto the wall arm. There are 4 total bolts that hold the TV bracket to the wall mount. The wall mount uses 5/16 x 3 1/2" lags for wood studs. I can't comment on brick or steel framed walls - I had wood studs with drywall. One thing I did not like was that none of the included hardware for the TV mounting plate really had the proper washers for the TV bracket, they were simply too small. I bought some proper sized metric hex bolts and washers to mount the TV plate to the back of my TV.
The instructions could be better written and some of the bolts described in the directions don't match what is on the wall mount. Individual mounting variations aside, this mount easily adjusts in multiple directions and is extremely well built. I would recommend this mount as long as you have some carpentry skill and someone to help out. It's not a one person job because the mount itself is pretty heavy - 60+ pounds. As long as you have requisite installation skills, I would readily endorse the quality and construction of this wall mount.

We have installed (2) of these mounts. (1) on a 26" LCD and (1) on a 32" LCD. Both installations were easy, with the product meeting expectations. The second mount we installed was missing a couple of minor parts so I sent a quick e-mail to Cheetah mounts. An hour later, I had the 2nd day air tracking number for the remaining parts. While it was frustrating to be missing the parts, I was amazed by the quick response.

I mounted a 50" Pansonic Plasma on this mount. The fit and finish of the product is impeccable. No bad welds or cheap paints like other cheaper models. This is truly a premium product and you get what you pay for (in a good way!) I love the adjustability. They have done such a nice job for cable management w/ beautiful plastic covers where needed. I've had this about a year now and am very satisfied with it.

The mount arrived on time.
I bought this to hang my Toshiba 52" above the fire place.
The instructions are easy to follow and any and all hardware come with the mount.
My only complaint is the mounting bracket, It could be wider.
The stud's in the wall are wider than 18" (non load bearing wall)
If it came with some sort of "extender" bracket then this unit would be absolutly PERFECT!.
I ended up cutting the sheetrock and added more 2x4 in the wall and put the sheet rock back.(wasn't too bad)
Once it was mounted, I extended the arm and put my weight on it (210lbs) this thing did not budge!
Very sturdy unit, it suprised the heck out of me.
I will buy another one without hesitation as soon as I get another flat TV for my bedroom.
Hope this help's!!!!

AVF EL404B-A Multi Position Dual Arm TV Mount for 25-Inch to 40-Inch Screens (Black) Review

AVF EL404B-A Multi Position Dual Arm TV Mount for 25-Inch to 40-Inch Screens (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I looked around quite a bit for a mount that I wanted. I wanted tilt and I wanted the articulating arms. Since I have a 400 x 200 VESA TV my options were limited. I decided on this one because it had prime shipping and some decent reviews. I should have read the reviews more carefully. (Pros and Cons at the end)
I'm a guy, so when I open up a project I want to figure it out and complete it on my own, then read the instructions. But this time I decided to give the instructions a try first. As another reviewer pointed out, THE INSTRUCTIONS HAVE NO WORDS ON THEM. Step 1 has 3 options you should use depending on your TV's VESA setup. I picked mine and installed it as pictured. It was frustrating that I couldn't tell where the top of the TV is on the diagram though. I found out I had set it up upside down so I had to take it off and put it back on. A simple word like TOP or BOTTOM would have been useful in this diagram. (For those of you who get it, the yellow clips go towards the bottom.)
So I got it all attached to my TV and they tell me to bust out a leveler and make sure the bracket your screw into the wall is straight. I proceed to do that and I'm pretty close to dead center and drive those long screws in. Then I put up the articulating arms which were a simple installation. All that's left is to attach the TV to the mount. I step back knowing I did everything right according to the instructions, feeling good to knock out a project (30 minute installation), and I realize my TV is not straight. But I did everything right, what is going on? So I adjust the tilt screws (to tilt it you must use a 10mm socket or wrench to loosen it, tilt it, then tighten it into position) thinking it might have been something I did wrong. Then I realize there is some play in the bracket. At least a few degrees (in the 85-88 degree vs. the 90 they claim). The fixing project may wait for another weekend, I may add some cushion underneath the area with play (the top of the bracket attached to the TV), or I may just take it apart and set it straight. If they had some words in the instructions both of the pains I experienced would have been avoided.
PROS:
All the parts arrived.
Price.
Short installation.
Strong and durable materials.
Prime shipping!
CONS:
Instructions.
Tilting difficulty (use some type of ratcheting screw instead of the nuts/screws).
The play room which set it off center.
Overall it's a good and sturdy product. -1 star for the lack of clear instructions, and -1 star for the play room and the tilting. I'd still recommend and purchase this product but keep in mind what other reviewers and I have said. To the manufacturer if you fix these things you'll have a 5 star product.
