PDR Mounts PDR1226S Articulating Wall Mount for 12" to 26" Displays (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I finally took the plunge to by a new HD TV. I decided on the Samsung LNT4065F 40" 1080p LCD HDTV (~35 pounds). I bought this mount because I have to locate the TV above my existing desk, so I needed the ability to either have it against the wall, or extended out in front of the desk. Installation was a breeze, I did it myself although you should really have two people (one to hold the mount, the other to screw the lag bolt in the stud). I was able to find the manual for this online before I bought it to verify all the dimensions.
PDR Mounts actually received my rebate form and actually called me to see if I was happy with the product. This is a refreshing difference from most rebate forms! Usually most companies may or may not send you a check back and I've never got a call back before. PDR went above and beyond most companies in this respect.
Minor (very minor) annoyance: When I went to level it, I found that the front mounting bracket frame was maybe 2-5 degrees tilted vs. the wall mount piece. So I ended up leveling in in reference to the front mounting bracket instead of the wall mount piece so the TV is perfectly level now.
--- Update! ---
I just received the rebate check. This is amazing, since I received in just about 2 weeks. Never received a rebate so fast.

Sanus Systems Ffmf2A-Sb1 Platinum Furniture Series Medium Flat Panel Tv Stand (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a robust and carefully designed stand over all. The heavy black base is some sort of dense plastic so far as I can tell, with a sturdy aluminum frame hidden beneath to which the aluminum mast attaches with bolts. (By the way, the Amazon illustration makes it look as if that mast is black or dark gray; it is instead a silver, matte aluminum, at least in my stand--a very solid extrusion.)
There were a couple of issues. 1) The ball mounting between mast and the bracket that attached to the back of the tv didn't provide enough friction to keep my 32" LCD TV level, even with its thumb screw tightened down. This may have been because my TV includes a built-in DVD player and thus is heavier on one side. However, the TV also tended to tilt forward. The fix for the unwanted tilting cost me $0.72 for hardware plus the time for a little figuring and drilling. 2) While the two shelves and the TV mount adjust up or down by about 6" via slots in the mast, I wanted the TV mount and one shelf to be lower. Cost was a little time to drill a couple of holes in the mast and relocate the items. The shelves are tempered, smoked glass. They and the bolts & brackets that anchor them are quite sturdy, with the shelves cushioned in flexible, clear plastic to avoid cracking.
The assembly diagrams are simple but clear. All the possible brackets, bolts, nuts, etc. for various permutations of mountings are included, packed in clear plastic sleeves with numbers corresponding to the numbers in the assembly instuctions. One bolt was misnumbered, but there was no real confusion since the assembly diagrams include full-scale drawings of each nut, bolt and washer. When standard assembly is completed the TV will tilt and pan by maybe 30 degrees (my modification reduced this). The TV is positively attached to a stand that would be quite difficult to overturn, even if one tried.
The wire guides are heavy cardboard that one bows and then fits into slots in the back of the mast extrusion. I would say that the jury is out on their durability. Customer photos that I have seen of Sanus's larger stand show dangling cords, which suggests to me that the guides are not of the best. I may replace them with plastic sheet cut to size--or just use duct tape, which would fit within the wire slot and match the mast. Update: I have tried the wire guides out some more, including a lot of pulling on them, and they actually seem secure. It may be that users are not willing to flex the guides as much as required to install them. It seems like they should crease permanently, but they do not and so work well.
This is Sanus's medium size stand, according to the box, and I would recommend paying attention to weight limits and upsizing to the large stand if you have a really big tv or even one near the upper limit. Any reasonably handy person should have no trouble assembling the stand, especially if they don't have the off-balance TV problem that I mentioned. Even standard assembly will take a while, but that is because of the care taken to make the stand sturdy. A non-handy person probably should avoid or find a handy friend.
To sum up, I am quite happy with the stand.

VideoSecu Articulating Wall Mount for LCD Plasma TV VESA 200/300/400 Mp29B 1KR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Arrived timely in multiple boxes. Took around an hour to put together and mount on wall. It would have been nice to have more detailed instructions included in the box to account for the adjustable frame for the back of the TV. Good price for this wall mount compared to other brands at Best Buy.

Sanus VMSA-S VisionMount Articulating Wall Mount for 30" to 50" Displays (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this wall mount to go with my cheap 30" Phillips plasma screen. I wanted a wall mount that would permit the screen to be pivoted left/right, up/down, and with some ability to move the screen away from the wall.
The mount has heavy-duty construction, and seems well built. The box includes the necessary bolts, washers, nuts, and cable ties to install the unit. The instructions are fairly clear, although it did take some study to figure out how to put everything together properly.
What I like best about this mount is that it requires very little effort to swivel or pivot the television (even my 2-1/2 year old can do so), but that once its position has changed, it holds the new position. There is no sagging or rotation due to gravity -- once I change the position (using just a finger to push the device), it smoothly translates to the new position, then stays there.
I would definitely buy this mount again, and would recommend Sanus as a quality product.

VideoSecu Swivel Arm Wall Mount for LG 19LH20 22LU55 22LH20 22LH200C LCD Monitor Flat Screen TV 1AI Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This stand was great. I had heard about some mounts not keeping the TV level as it is extended. This works great. One note.. do not buy this if you plan on swinging the TV in and out every time. You need to loosen the TV to go from fully collapsed to fully extended.

10" - 24" LCD Monitor/TV Height Adjustable Double-Arm Desk Mount w/Tilt (Silver) - Quad Brackets Support up to 4 LCDs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got one of these do I could mount my two 19" widescreen monitors and raise them off the my desk.
While is does a ok job with two monitors it is not tall enough to work with four (unless the monitors have tiny 9 or 10 inch screens ).
If the post was 8 inches longer I would give it another star or two but as it I give it three starts.

VideoSecu Ultra Slim TV LCD Wall Mount for most 10" to 24" TV LCD Monitor and Display 1WY Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You can pay a ton of money for these wall mounts, but there's not reason to. This mount was very strong and I used it to mount a flatscreen computer monitor on my wall. I actually bought two of them. The plate attaches to the monitor easily and I can quickly slide it on or off the wall bracket.
