I bought this wall mount because it was the cheapest and most solid looking mount I could find. I used it to mount my 42inch Samsung Plasma. It takes two people and some tools to get this thing setup but once the work is done you will be satisfied. It looks great, feels solid, and it allows you to move your tv up, down, left, right, forwards, and backwards. I wish it could tilt up and down a few extra degrees but otherwise its a great mount. Bottom line, best mount you can find for the price for flat tv's 40inch and up.

This wall mount is perfect. I mounted my 42" LG TV that weighs 75 Lbs. The mount went up in 30 minutes using only the hardware included. The mount is secure and I feel more than safe with my $1200 TV on it. I saved a lot of money by going with this mount and you should do the same!!!

As others have said, this thing is most definitely heavy. It's possible to take the mount apart so that you can only deal with the wall plate but since I had my roommate help me, I didn't bother with that.
Mounting this was a nightmare but only because my stud finder is crap. I borrowed two other stud finders and they all gave me different readings- it really got frustrating. Also, my apartment doesn't have the standard 16 inch or 24 inch gap between studs. The two studs I eventually found were 14 inches to . Luckily the wall mount has multiple slots for the bolts. Once I had the holes drilled, the rest was a breeze.
Others have complained about the instructions but I didn't see a big issue there- the diagrams show pretty much everything you need to do.
I used 2 levels and found that TV-side plate was off by a good 10-15 degrees. Luckily, the designers put 5 hex screws that allow you to adjust the tilt.
Unfortunately due the stud issues I was not able to mount this in the of my wall. But I was able to move the arms to right and hang the TV right of on the mount- those combined ed it. Now, I'm hanging a 46 inch LCD HDTV on it and have noticed no sagging.
The mount is very stiff, hard to move. But I see this as a plus since it makes it seem more sturdy.

I am very pleased with this product. I ordered two to hang matching Phillips 47' LCD's next to each other in our living room. They arrived in 5-7 days and were in perfect condition, nothing damaged or missing. They each weight about 30-35 lbs and have been holding up my 45 lbs TV's with no problems for a couple weeks now.
I got the articulated mounts so we would have the options they give. Only one of them is pulled a couple inches out and angled. I haven't noticed any sagging or other problems. We haven't been pulling it far from the wall, so I haven't tested them in that fashion.
They were pretty simple to put up. All you need is a drill, drill bits and a ratchting wrench set or an old style wrench set it you like working harder and screw drivers. If you have the right size attachment for you drill, you could fly through it. I put the mounts up myself, but had my wife help me put the TV's on the mount just to be safe. Also, it has a level on the item, but I still used my own. I don't trust those tiny levels.
The mounts were a lot cheaper than those I saw at Sam's Club ($160) and Best Buy, which were even more and went up to 400-500 each.
I was a hard choice for me between the Cheetah mount that is similar to this one, but I think I made the right one.

When it arrived, i right away noticed the thing is huge and heavy, which doesn't make it too easy to hang it up by yourself. I got it up ok and i love it except for some quirks.
- When completely collapsed, the attachment to the TV is not in the middle of the mount.
- Hanging your tv on the mount is piece of cake but if its not EXACTLY in the middle of the mount, it tilts sideways and cannot be solved by tightening bolts.
- to secure your TV from sliding on the mount, it uses two screws. They are a PAIN to screw in.
- The whole thing is pretty heavy and you have to extend the arm to screw the thing into the wall. Requires at least 2 people, 3 preferred.
