solid piece of hardwareJan 10, 2008
By William W. Lin
I recently bought and installed this in my basement, attaching it to my Samsung 226BW 22" LCD. Short version:
- PROS: Preassembled for quick installation right out of the box, great build quality, sits close to the wall when collapsed or extends out more than a foot, ability to rotate display a minor amount to correct for imperfect leveling.
- CONS: Color is not the same as in product shot (not really a con per se, but...). Otherwise, none.
>> Build quality
The unit comes preassembled and is of very solid build quality. The mount, while not incredibly heavy, feels solid and not like cheap lightweight metal. You can adjust the tension on all the joints if you like, but I actually didn't find it necessary - everything was pretensioned so that the joints were somewhat stiff but moveable, which is exactly what I wanted.
>> Installation
> Attaching the mount to the wall
Installation was very easy, though it turned out I didn't have a stud anywhere nearby my desk (lousy lying studfinder!!). So instead, against recommendations, I put in a couple of drywall anchors and attached the mount to the wall with two wood screws that I had (the included screws are very large). I was a bit worried about whether the anchors could handle the load, but after giving the mount a few tugs, I could feel that it wasn't going anywhere, particularly since my LCD is only 10 pounds.
> Attaching the LCD to the mounting plate
After attaching the mount to the wall, I put a couple of screws in the top threads on the back of my monitor, and then hung the monitor onto the LCD plate via the teardrop-shaped holes. I then tightened the screws and put the screws in the bottom holes as well.
> Final adjustments
To finish up, I threaded the cables through the cable channels and replaced the plastic covers over the channels, which slide into place. Then I just adjusted the monitor by pulling it and turning it the way I wanted it. Note that one of the great features of this particular mount is that you can adjust the monitor not only to tilt forwards or backwards and side to side, but you can also rotate the monitor a minor amount clockwise or counterclockwise, in case you didn't install the mount perfectly level or, in my case, you installed the mount level but the floor/desk is not level. This is a feature that was surprisingly absent from a number of other mounts I looked at.
One thing to note is that I got the black version, and it doesn't look like the picture in the product shot above. Whereas above it looks like the mount is has a dark titanium metal finish, it's actually a solid black powder coat, which matches better with my black monitor than the titanium would have.
Bottom line: this is a great LCD mount. I'm very happy with it.
EDIT: It's now September 9, 2009, and it's been more than a year since I first bought this mount (two of them, actually). They have held up beautifully - the powder-coated metal is still in perfect condition, the joints are still nice and stiff, with no sign of loosening. I moved to a new office recently where I was able to screw the mounts into studs with #10 2" wood screws, and now the mounts feel like they could easily accommodate a 30" screen, let alone my 20" and 22" LCD's. You can tell that these things are going to last a lifetime. Highly recommended.

Buy this one!Feb 17, 2008
By C. Kimhan

I decided to buy this one, even though it was a little more expensive, but I think it's definitely worth it! It's totally easy to mount to the wall and tv and it's very, very sturdy! But more than that, I installed this a little bit crooked and it was so easy to straighten the tv. It tilts all ways, so I was able to mount it really high and tilt it downward, but now it's out of the way and I can turn it anyway I need to anywhere around the room!

Quality productMar 13, 2009
By Big Bro
I read a lot of reviews before picking this one...I saw many people unhappy with the wall mounts they purchased. I am glad I picked this one. I believe this is one of those times you get what you pay for. This product is very stable and well made. Easy to install and works great. I can see how taking your time to mount it level could be an issue. If you are only slightly off on the mounting it will be magnified when you extend the arm. Just take your time, plan and you will be very pleased you picked this one. I was being very careful in what I was doing and it only took me about 30 minutes from start to finish. Good Luck.
