I thought this was a little pricy but after hanging a 60" Plasma in my Daytona room I am very impressed. Super easy to install and it works great. Went and looked at less expensive mounts and found out you get what you pay for

Very satisfied

Reviewed by Peanutbutter (Enthusiast) from Aurora, IL on Apr 20, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

This tv mount came recommended from my sales rep at Abt. Having not seen it before I bought it, I was a little skeptical on how it was constructed. After I received it and took a thorough look at it, any concerns were put to rest. This thing is very well constructed! It says it can hold 280 lbs and based off of how thick and overbuilt it is, I don't doubt it. It's also very versitile in that accomadates a huge range of sizes of flat panels and the adjustment of the viewing angle--just in the up/down angle--is great. Instructions were also very thorough and detailed.

Pros:	Easy To Install, Can Support Weight, Easy To Adjust, Sturdy, Well written instructions, Interfaces Well With TV, Versitile
Best Uses:	Home, Office, Bedroom, Family/Living Room
Cons:	none

I PURCHASED A DIFFERENT BRAND THAT STATED IT WORKED FOR TV'S UP TO 63". IT DID NOT WORK WITH MY 60" PIONEER ELITE. THIS MOUNT ADJUSTED AND FIT PERFECTLY AND IS VERY HEAVY DUTY. THE METAL WAS THICKER THAN THE COMPETITORS. EXCELLENT PRODUCT.

Excellent wall mount for BIG plasmas

Reviewed by Magnabruin (Tech Savvy) from Torrance, CA. on Jul 31, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

The screws that came with this mount were too small to fit the TV's rear screw holes (I think this is more a problem with the TV than the mount). A quick trip to Lowe's solved this problem. Installation itself was a snap. This mount comes with 2 different mount choices, a tilt one and a static one. You can use either one. It is very sturdy and comes with a lot of screws, spacers and wall mounting options. Very good product.

Heavy Duty Performer for Big Job

Reviewed by mojofix (Gearhead) from Rockville Centre, New York on Dec 24, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I used this product with an available wider back bracket to mount my 181 pound Panasonic Plasma. It is heavy on its own, and requires two sets of hands during the leveling/wall mounting part of installation. Once it was well secured, it handled the extreme weight without a problem. Aside from needing three people to lift the TV, the only tough part was tightening the locking screws at the end, because of the limited amount of space you have once the TV is up. While Sanus includes every possible piece of hardware, you may want to use some additional lag bolts.

Cons:	Hard to Reach Lock screws
Best Uses:	Home
Pros:	Multiple Viewing Angles, Easy To Adjust, Interfaces Well With TV, Sturdy, Easy To Install

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I'm Not the Handiest man in the world, but I had no problem installing this product. When I was done I was fully confident it would hold my 108 lb TV. It came with more than enough bolts to accommodate most any TV, and the instructions were easy to follow.
