I highly recommend this mount (especially for the price - I saw this exact mount @ Wal-mart for $114) I screwed the mount into 2 studs & it is not going anywhere. The packaging was in order & all screws are in individual packages (so you only have to open the package you neeed). I suggest you go to the hardware store & get 4 high quality lag screws & washers (well worth it). And with the tilt feature, it was even simple to connect the wires / cables to the back (although I suggest doing so before you hang the tv - it's just one less thing to do once it's on the wall). The tv slides from left to right so it's easy to center before you lock the tv in place. The instructions were not great (nothing written, just pics), but it is simple enough. Unfortunately, as others have posted, I broke 2 lag screws, and they were just halfway in the wall.
It took less than one hour to hang the mount. And the one touch tilt feature is really one touch. I purchased this mount for my 42" Panasonic Plasma. All you have to do is match the right screws for your particular tv. Once the mount was up, it was very easy to hang the tv.
The tilt mechanisms are a bit hard to reach, but I'm planning on keeping this at a fixed tilt, so no issues here.Believe the reviews on this one. I highly recommend this high quality mount over the seemingly generic ones found at the local chain department stores. The brackets went on quickly, and we simply lifted the TV to hang on the mount. The supplied 2.5 inch lag bolts firmly bonded the mount to the wall, which gave me the satisfied feeling that my 50 inch Samsung wasn't going to budge an inch.The kit comes with a variety of screws to fit the brackets to most HDTVs, and of course the screws for my Samsung fit perfectly. I expected this to be a complicated installation, so I was glad to see what looked like a well packaged item.3 major parts and associated nuts and bolts. I read all the great reviews this product received, so there were no surprises when I opened and installed this mount. The installation manual was entirely illustrative, but done well enough that there were no questions about how to install.After a lot of measurements and verifying stud locations (for my own satisfaction), the wall mount went up quickly. Two more screws fitted to the bottom of the brackets ensure the TV can't be lifted off without removing them.
So far I am very pleased with product. Easy to mount and clear instructions.
Also, we needed a drill, screwdriver, and socket wrench. I recommend taking your time, have 2 people to do this job, and DONT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS. I was freaking out because the screw was stuck in the wall and there was no way to get it out. The build quailty on this product is phenomenal. The only thing that went wrong is I was screwing in 1 of the bolts into the wall and tightened too much causing the bolt head to break off. That justs proves to me the quality of this Sanus mount.Overall, nice mount, has the tilting feature.
Mounting positions are flexible so you don't have to be dead on every measurement. Very sturdy, nice black paint finish. We used a stud finder to pinpoint exactly where to drill and a level to ensure straight orientation. But, we hung up the tv anyways and there is no problem. 4 bolts holds the tv in place and 4 bolts to the wall to hold the mount/tv assembly.It was an easy job for 2 people who have beginner to intermediate experience in home projects. I got a 46" Sony HDTV on this mount.
It took us about 1.5 hours to complete, and that was really taking our time to make sure we installed correctly. My hdtv is on the mount currently with 3 out of the 4 bolts in the wall.
There is no reason to pay $100+ for a wall mount, this is perfect. I have this holding a 47" Vizio (about 60 lbs, +/-), and it's not going anywhere. The hardware is horrible, but the mount itself is very solid. My only recommendation is that you invest $2 in better lag bolts and washers prior to installation. The tilting function is very smooth and easy to move, yet it doesn't slip on it's own.
