Solid made in America constructionBlake Mason
I finally took the plunge to by a new HD TV. I decided on the Samsung LNT4065F 40" 1080p LCD HDTV (~35 pounds). I bought this mount because I have to locate the TV above my existing desk, so I needed the ability to either have it against the wall, or extended out in front of the desk. Installation was a breeze, I did it myself although you should really have two people (one to hold the mount, the other to screw the lag bolt in the stud). I was able to find the manual for this online before I bought it to verify all the dimensions.PDR Mounts actually received my rebate form and actually called me to see if I was happy with the product. This is a refreshing difference from most rebate forms! Usually most companies may or may not send you a check back and I've never got a call back before. PDR went above and beyond most companies in this respect.Minor (very minor) annoyance: When I went to level it, I found that the front mounting bracket frame was maybe 2-5 degrees tilted vs. the wall mount piece. So I ended up leveling in in reference to the front mounting bracket instead of the wall mount piece so the TV is perfectly level now.--- Update! ---I just received the rebate check. This is amazing, since I received in just about 2 weeks. Never received a rebate so fast.
GREAT Customer Support!Alfred J. Ortiz
I just finished a call to PDR for technical support regarding the installation of my 3760T mount (their website address is on the product). Not only was I impressed with the quick response to my initial call, but also with the fact that the rep was familiar with the 42" Hitachi plasma television that I also purchased from Amazon. More about the plasma mounting receiver on the television than the 3760T mount (the mounting instruction pamphlet is pretty straightforward if you are thinking about installing it yourself), his answer and suggestions gave me the confidence to continue with my own installation. At the end of our conversation he even reminded me to avail myself of the rebate - which I had forgotten about completely! It's really nice to know that there are still companies who believe in their products enough that they will go the extra yard to make you a believer too. Thanks!!!
Simple, Adjustable, Effective - Solid Steel!Bryan M. Hamilton
This articulating mount was worth the investment! We purchased a Pioneer PDP-4270HD 42" Plasma and needed a mount. Considering we have a smaller living room (200 sqft) but many family members, we decided to go for an articulating mount instead of just a tilt model.This mount was very simple to install. All hardware was included and it secured our 42" plasma safely. Surprisingly, it attached much more flush to the wall than we had thought (about 4" off the wall). There are also height adjustments that allow the TV to be mounted higher or lower (3 notches to choose from). Although we were nervous placing our very heavy plasma on something attached to the wall - it is very obvious with it's 3"+ thick steel and three large steel mounting bolts that it won't be going anywhere.If we use our fingertips to give a gentle nudge or pull on the bottom of the TV, we can adjust it to where we want it (to the left or right). I've even moved it so that it faces another room (90 degree turn) and it's been very secure. Tilting it up and down can be done but it's a bit harder because you will need to tighten 2 knobs on either side once you've adjusted it to where you want it to be. To us this was not an issue (we like the angle of the screen set at one position anyway).The company for this product has been very reliable with customer service. We called before our purchase and were immediately connected to not only a *live* but also a product-informed US-based tech who gave us good advice and suggestions. We've even recieved a follow-up call to see how it's worked.Overall, an excellent experience and we're so pleased that we went with this American company and this particular mounting option.
Ruggedly made, and simple to installGroc
I used this mount to install a 52" Toshiba LCD.As advertised, the steel stampings are of very robust, heavy gauge steel.I'll try and describe how this mount works, as I had many doubts when I ordered this and relied on luck that it would work OK.The wall mounting rail is held to the wall by 4 lag screws (3-1/2" long I think).I was a bit lucky in that the horizontal center of the TV was very close to halfway between 2 studs. This allowed easy centering of the mounting rail.However, even if it was worst case, with a stud coming at the center of the TV, the flexible design would still allow for no-problem mounting.The mounting holes are long slots, allowing for any range of horizontal positioning.Install the 1st 2 top lags, level of course. Then, you can easily install the bottom 2 lags. Mounting holes must be pre-drilled.I wondered about the 5 degree tilt option. The brackets that attach to the TV via 2 bolts each have two slots at the top of each. Depending on which set of slots that you use, you get either straight vertical, or 5 degree tilt. 5 degrees is just about perfect for the TV centerline at 5 ft above the floor, and my recliner at 10 ft from the TV. In reality, other distances and angles are just fine also.To move to vertical, 2 people can lift the TV up and set it back on the other set of slots. So, easy to change if wanted.As mentioned, with this TV, the vertical brackets attach to the TV with 2 bolts each (my TV). PDR includes all kinds of mounting hardware, for many TV designs.The brackets have several ¼" holes, spaced ½" apart at their bottom part, and slotted holes at the top. This allows for fine adjustment of vertical positioning when attached to the TV, even after the mounting rail is attached to the wall.Read more ›
