WOW, 2010-03-07
I was a little worried trying to suspend a 46" hi-definition TV over my fireplace. I just KNEW that the wall mount would sag and make everything look terrible. Well, I was wrong. After I put the Hercules mount on the wall, I cautiously started pulling my body-weight up on the mount [I weigh 230 pounds]. I ended up doing a quick pull-up work-out on the Hercules without ANY sag. I mounted my TV [less than 70 pounds] and I swear I heard the mount say, "Is that all you got?"
Nice product - GREAT price.
GREAT PRODUCT, 2010-03-05
THIS PRODUCT WAS EVERYTHING THAT THEY SAID IT WAS AND THE COMPANY SENT IT IN RECORD TIME I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS AND I DON'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS
Solid, well worth the price, 2010-02-28
I did a bunch of research before buying this mount. While the instructions are spotty, the mount itself is very strong. I bought it for my Bravia '46, but plan on getting an LG '55 soon, so I wanted a mount that would handle both. When I see how strong it is, I have no doubt it will be able to handle the bigger set. One thing is that it is very stiff when trying to pull it out from the wall, but the side to side adjustment is easy.
Mount is a 5 star, Hardware is a 1 Star, 2010-02-21
THE GOOD - The mount itself I rate as a 5 and highly recommend. Like the other reviews, I agree it is a great value, solid (built like a tank), high quality, and relatively easy to install (with good hardware-see below). Mounted a 50" plasma that weighs ~80 lbs. I cannot detect a degree of sag when the TV is turned and extended from the wall.
THE BAD - I rate the hardware that comes with the mount at a 1. There is no excuse for hardware this cheap. Like a couple of other reviews, I drilled the proper 3/16" size hole in the stud to mount the lag screw. With a 1/4" rachet drive, and moderate pressure, I twisted the head of the lag screw right off 3/4 of the way in. This presents a major problem, because I measured very carefully, ensuring that the unit was centered on the wall, level, etc. With the broken shank of the lag bolt embedded in the wall, there is no way to get it out, and the hole becomes unusable. Therefore, I needed to drill 4 new holes just higher, get better lag bolts and start again. Annoying and time consuming!
THE UGLY- One of the allen screws that anchors the TV hanger clips was so bent that it would not screw in without striping the threads. Hardware is cheap, unrated junk. Too bad, I would gladly pay an extra $1 for better hardware.
SOLUTION - If planning to install this TV mount in wood studs, before the mount arrives, go to the hardware store and purchase (4) 5/16" X 3 1/2" zinc plated lag screws. Anything at the hardware store in the US will be better than what comes with the mount. I actually think it might be illegal to sell unrated bolts and screws(All bolts should have numbers and markings on the head, indicating strength/use. This hardware has none.).
Drill a 3/16 hole (going from memory - whatever diameter is in the installation instructions) at least 3" into the wall. With the thickness of the drywall/plaster (typically 1/2" - 3/4") you will end up with a ~2 1/2" deep hole in the stud. A trick my father taught me - get a dry bar of soap and drag the lag screws across the soap bar, getting "shreads" of soap on the threads. This will make it easier to turn the lag screw and reduce the chances of the lag bolt breaking. Don't forget to use the washers on the end of the lag screws, and the cheapies that come with the mount should be fine.
Hopefully you will not also have a bent allen screw, otherwise that will be a separate trip to the store. Good luck!
Excellent Value Large TV Mount, 2010-02-20
I purchased this wall mount for a LG 55" LCD TV which weighs about 80 lbs. I am happy with the price ($87 inc shipping) from TV Wall Brackets and the quick (within 7 days) delivery. I read the reviews from other users prior to purchasing so I had a good idea what I was buying. The reviews are much more helpful than the product details or instructions for installation. The mount is very sturdy and has an excellent range of motion to turn and tilt the TV to the best viewing. It does not turn with a fingertip and requires a good bit of effort, even after lubrication. I turn it about twice a day and don't mind it being a little stiff as long as it feels sturdy. Take the time to level the TV and wall brackets (don't use the little level that comes attached - use your own 2-3ft level) and buy good quality bolts and screws from your hardware store. I saw other mounts, that did not seem as strong, in stores for 3 times as much so I am very satisfied with the purchase.
