Peerless SmartMount Universal Tilt Wall Mount

I bought this after receiving a 42" Panasonic Viera (plasma) for Christmas. I ordered this from Overstock, and it was delivered a lot quicker than I had expected. Installation is a piece of cake -- just get yourself a socket wrench to drive in the lag bolts in the wall. There are plenty of bolts included for mounting the vertical hangers on the TV -- very impressive. For the money, this mounting kit is definitely a value! I had the TV installed within 30 minutes or so. The main problem I ran into was that my wall studs were 20" apart (thanks DR Horton), so after finding one stud, I measured over 16" and drilled a pilot hole. No wood there, so I slid over another 1/2" or so. This kept up until I had a trail of holes in the wall looking for a stud. Yes, I have a stud finder, but I never trust those things... Anyway, after getting the TV in place, I went back a week later and installed an electical outlet and coax adapter behind the TV -- the bracket has nice cutouts to accommodate these. Just be sure if you cut out your drywall that you don't just carve out the dimensions of the mounting cutouts -- they are bigger than the size of an outlet box. Since I have AT&T's U-Verse service, I require a converter box, so I installed a shelf next to the TV to hold it and the Nintendo Wii. If you don't have these, you can get a really clean looking install -- a TV just floating on the wall. The bracket contains some nice safety features, such as a raised lip on the top mounting rail -- that way your TV doesn't slide off if pulled. You actually have to lift the TV up and tilt the bottom out in order to pull it off the rails. There is also a set of safety bolts on the bottom that your can turn up to prevent the TV from tilting out. Another nice safety feature. They incude a very long allen wrench to turn the bolts. Supposedly this is needed for tilting the TV as well. I can turn them, but I can never get this thing to actually tilt the TV. I tried to call the manufacturer for assistance, but no luck in getting through. This is my only complaint about the product. As it turns out, we just use it flat, anyway, and the image looks good even though I had to mount it so that the bottom of the TV is 52" above the floot. We have a couple of toddlers who love to try to pull things down...
