Review on Optimized Peerless SA740P Articulating LCD Wall Mount for 22-40 Inch LCD Screens in Sleek Black by Mark Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality but a little wobbly for a 40 " LCD

This was the recommended mount for my 40" Samsung LN-T4081 LCD with VESA 200 mount and the price was right. Comments:1 . The installation instructions were followed well, the finish and details were first class. Everything fits together as expected. The wood rod screws provided are flat head Phillips screws, but hex head screws or a very large Robertson screw will do for the torque required. was the better choice. Forget about screwing it into an old bolt by hand. 2. I wanted it to be centered on the wall but there was no bolt dead center so I had to move it 4 inches. However, it can appear centered when pulled out about 10 inches from the wall. I'm not sure if the WSP accessory mount can be modified to compensate in this case. Otherwise I would have to open the wall and add a frame or order a special mount from the machine shop.3. It would be nice if they included a CAD drawing with exact dimensions because I had to do quite a bit of math to figure out that if I wanted the TV to be exactly centered on the wall the rack would have to be 3-3. /16 inches from center. (In other words, don't plan to center the TV on the wall!) The 5.40-inch LCD is definitely at its breaking point. My TV weighs I think 50 pounds. When it's fully extended and angled horizontally, I don't want to stress or strain the far end of the TV. It shakes pretty badly. I wouldn't buy it if frequent adjustments are needed or if there are kids or crowds gathering I guess which is why the price for this was so cheap compared to the prices I've seen for a heavier wall mount. With.
