Premier Mounts AM2-B Articulating Wall Mount for 10" to 40" LCD Displays (Black) Review

Premier Mounts AM2-B Articulating Wall Mount for 10' to 40' LCD Displays

I own two of these mounts. The first one I bought over two years ago to hold a 37" LCD. The mount has performed flawlessly over that time and is still rock solid. We use the full range of motion and change the position frequently (daily). It is still as solid as the day we installed it. Remember, this is an older 37" LCD. I imagine it's likely heavier than a "new" 37" screen.

I just bought another one of these to hold a 19" LCD. The mount tucks up nicely (almost completely) behind a panel even that small. It gets moved constantly (3+ times per day) and I'm sure it's up to the task. I prefer this one's matte-black finish to the silver finish of my first mount, but both are neat and attractive.

Overall, this is an extremely sturdy mount at 37" and under. Joint tension is able to be adjusted with the supplied socket tool. Once you hit the sweet spot on the joints, monitor movement is fluid-but-firm. If you need an articulating mount that gets "worked" on a daily basis, this is the one. The only reason that I give it four stars instead of five is that the construction is so heavy you would expect it should hold units larger than 37". I still wouldn't suggest trying to exceed design limits, whatever my personal impression of the product might be.

Installation notes: It is a huge advantage that it can be mounted to a single stud. In both instances I was able to install extra supporting lumber, but if you hit a single stud solidly, you'll be fine. I'd also strongly recommend getting four lag screws to replace the Phillips-head wood screws supplied. You'll find yourself ripping the heads right off the wood screws. The lag screws go in like butter by comparison.

Universal Flat Panel Mount for Displays Up To 40" Review

It's difficult to get a sense of the stability of this mount from just looking at the photo. I had some reservations about it, especially given that it only mounts to a single stud.
But, I saw it in a local store and instantly knew that it would definitely be sturdy enough. The entire mount is solidly constructed and well made.

The wall-mount portion uses three heavy lag screws, and are offset slightly from each other, so that the screws do not all hit the same wood grain on your stud.

My other concern was that it is listed as for a maximum of 40" display. I wanted to put my 42" Toshiba on it. The Sanus website lets you pick your manufacturer/model of display and they recommend a mount for you. Even at 42", this mount was recommended by the manufacturer. (Note: the mount specifies a max of 80 pounds. The Toshiba 42hl196 is listed as 63 lb after you remove the desk stand.)

Once mounted, my TV can rotate almost a full 180d to allow viewing from either extreme angle in my living room. And to have it extend 20" out from the wall is amazing.

The only minor downside, is that because the wall-mount portion only mounts to a single stud, you cannot precisely place the bracket ANYwhere on the wall that you would like. Thus the TV cannot be placed as precisely as you might like. However, given the full range of positions available via the swing-arm, it is not an issue at all.Oh... and I liked the black one, but a silver one is available too.

DigiTV Digital Plasma and LCD TV Articulating Arm Tilting Wall Mount. Universal Design for 34" to 56" Displays (Black) Review

First of all this is a good wall mount for the price. However, I did have some issues that I did not have with my more expensive downstairs wall mount. I hung a 52" Aquos and the arm immedately bent downward. So much that I had to remove the whole mount and turn it upside down. I did this so I could tilt the screen up instead of down. I've now achieved a flat viewing angle. Also, my television NOTICEABLY tilted to the left. I put some of the spare metal washers underneath the mounting hooks, leveled it and now it's straight. Again, for the price I don't mind doing a little extra work. But if I'd paid more money, I'd be quite upset.
