VideoSecu Articulating LCD Wall Mount 20 inch Extension 55 lb loading capacity for LCD TV Monitor Flat Screen VESA 200mm/100 mm/75mm/50mm M64 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mount is of extremely poor craftsmanship. Picture is deceiving, product has a flimsy metal frame, that is "stiffened" by a plastic cover on both arms. The plastic arms snap together, but do not stay together. Had to use tape to hold together. This is one of the cheapest mounts out there. Would not recommend even at the low price.

Inland Pro LCD Monitor Arm 200 (VESA, Desk, & Wall Mount) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall, for 30 bucks, this isn't a bad mount, but it wasn't what I was expecting from the images. For the good, it seems pretty sturdy, and will do what it's meant to do, but that's about it. First, this mount does not freely articulate. What appears to be a joint at the bottom of the mount arm is just a decorative cover. Under the cover is a grouping of screw holes that allow you to fix the arm in a variety of positions. There are 4 allen head screws that hold the arm in place. In order to elevate or lower the arm, you would have to remove the cover and those screws, and even then, there's only about 4 or 5 settings, so it's not limitless. The head of the mount where the monitor mounts however, does freely articulate up/down, side to side, and allows for screen rotation. Also the arm while it doesn't adjust up and down freely, does swivel as you might expect.
The next bit that's a little misleading is the wall mount option. Yes, it can be mounted to a wall, but there's no hardware included for that. The wall mount is accomplished by leaving off the clamps used for desk mounting, and using the holes provided for that part to attach the arm to the wall. The problem is the holes are about 3/8" in diameter, so you will need pretty large lag bolts if you want to use them for that. I simply drilled 2 smaller holes in bracket and used 3" drywall screws, which worked perfectly. But if you aren't prepared to do a bit of modification to the mount to facilitate wall mounting, you'll need some pretty big screws or lag bolts.
I rated it a 3 mainly because I think there's some intentional misleading in the design at the bottom to make you think it raises and lowers freely, and that wall mounting isn't quite as easy as they may like you to think. Aside from that it will certainly do its job, and will do what I needed it for. But if you need something with full articulation and ready adjustment, this one probably isn't for you.

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.
