Bell'O FP4858HG Universal Flat Mount Panel Audio Video System with Swivel TV Mounting Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I opened the box my first thought was "this has more parts than my first car had."
I unpacked the box and moved the pieces to the location I wanted to place it at. Moving the box whole is a two person job at least. Once assembled, the stand would take two people to move it. Be warned it is heavy (glass and metal tend to be that)and moving it once assembled would be tricky as the frame is hard to reach and the glass really isn't strong enough to take the full weight of the stand.
The stand went together in about an hour. All of the parts are clearly labeled and the screws provided fit the holes with only one exception. One of the holes that allows for adjusting the frame that holds the television was miscut and it shredded the threads of the bolt that should have fit in it. I'll hit the local hardware store for options to replace the bolt. The frame will work without this one bolt, but it was there for a reason.
The frame itself is well put together, the welds are very clean and neat, the glass shelves are well cut and each shelf clearly only fits in one location. This is a well engineered and manufactured piece.
Really four and a half stars. Minus a little for the miscut hole.
Update: I replaced the damaged bolt with an eye bolt from the hardware store. (the eye bolt allowed for better torque while screwing it in) The eye bolt also seems to have cleaned the miscuts because I can now screw and unscrew it fairly easily.

Telehook TH-400-LED Slim Wire Mount for LED TVs VESA 400x400mm (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For some time now we've tooled around with the idea of permanently mounting our 46" Sony. One of the biggest roadblocks in our way was the not so wall friendly, overpriced mounting kits. With the on time arrival of Telehook's VESA Wire Mount, that's not a big problem for us anymore.
After inventorying all the included hardware, I broke out the tv manual to ensure that this was a go. Good thing I did. As a back up plan we were going to mount the 48" LG in the family room instead of the Sony. The VESA cannot be configured to our older set. We opted with our original plan. Its also a good idea to know the weight of your television. This system can hold up to 110 pounds.
Knowing the size of the required bolts for the tv is paramount. This kit comes with 8mm x 200mm bolts only. Luckily we were okay in that department. The only tools that we needed were a drill, drill bits, level, and a screwdriver. The mounting process was relatively pain free. If one has ever hung paintings or photographs around the house then this installation should be old hand.
With the right tools installing the wall support anchors is easy. Affixing the television's wire mounting hardware is just as simple. Its a good idea to double check and ensure that the hanging wire is taunt. Just remember, that this particular product mounts the television flat against the wall. There is no way to angle the tv once its installed.
Something that we were concerned about was the cable access point. Thankfully its not a problem with this style of mounting. As far as the dangling cables go, we found a nice panel that reduces the visual clutter. Made by the same company, it hides up to 10 cables. Its called a Cable Manager and is totally compatible with this system.
It goes without saying that the overall quality of the VESA wall mount is top notch all the way. Whether its brick, wood or drywall, it covers the bases. This unit is also backed by the manufacturer's five year warranty against defects. Overall, we're very happy with this product.
