Summary: Online is the way to go
Comment: Don't even think of spending twice as much to buy this product in a retail store like Best Buy. While this is definitely a two person job that will take some time, it's well worth the savings of a professional installation. The tilt works perfectly. Mounting a TV over the fireplace has opened up our living room perfectly.

Summary: Excellent and Easy to Install
Comment: I just finished installing my Peerless mount, and I must say it is an excellent product. The mount feels sturdy was able to successfully hold my 37" LG LCD HDTV without a hitch. The mount includes just about every type of screw, spacer, and washer needed for your TV. Installation was easy and the instructions were thorough. I highly recommend this product.

Summary: Very happy with this mount
Comment: I am very happy with this mount. I had considered going with some much more expensive mounts, but I am glad I didnt. Total installation took about an hour, and no hickups along the way.
I would strongly suggest getting a really good stud finder to be 100% certain you are in the middle of the studs. I used a standard stud finder and had some trouble determining the dead center. I was lucky to have a vent on the floor that had one of the studs visible underneath, some basic measuring found center easily.
This is a great product and my TV looks amazing on the wall now.

Summary: Measure your mounting pattern!!!
Comment: To make sure you're getting the right bracket for your TV, you MUST measure your mounting pattern- how far apart the holes on the back of your tv are, width and height. You can find the sizes that these brackets will accomodate, on the Peerless website, under 'specifications'. Peerless does have a 'mount finder', but when I checked the mounting pattern for the one they recommended, I found that it wouldn't fit my (Sanyo 42")TV. SO BEWARE! Also, make sure your TV is 8" wider than the bracket, so the bracket won't show if you have to mount the TV off-center.
To tilt, or not to tilt? That was a big issue for me, when choosing a bracket. If you are mounting the TV much above eye level (determined by where you plan to view the TV from) you will want to 'point it' at the viewer. The TV looks fine if pointing straight over your head, but the picture doesn't look as sharp. I mounted the TV over the fireplace, and we leave it tilted down 15*- to point at head level on the couch.
As for the bracket itself, I am very happy. It is sturdy, comes with clear and detailed directions, and pre-sorted and labeled hardware. Your TV manual will tell you what size bolt will fit into the back of your TV.
The only problem I had was, the 'wrench' they give you to tighten the locking hardware was really long- too long to fit between the TV and the mantle I was mounting above. I had to cut and bend it to use it. Otherwise, this would have gotten 5 stars!

Summary: Excellent price for a quality mount
Comment: I looked all over for a good mount at a low price and found it here. Once I got this mounted, I hung on it to be sure it was sturdy before hanging the plasma screen. Works great, although the tilt is a tad difficult to adjust with a large screen.
