Great TV Support
The SANUS wall mount is a very well made solid product. It is much better than some of the other wall mounts that I have seen. It is secure and allows movement in several directions. I highly recommend this mount.

Product lives up to most expectations; should incorporate means of leveling (right-to-left). Also, lacking correct length screws for back-of-TV mount bracket ... either too long or too short; request from Sanus Cust. Serv. resultd in screws too long (bottomed out in threaded recept. in back of Sony TV).

Functional and strong.
I bought this wall mount unit for a Sony 46 inch XBR5 which weighs about 73 pounds with the pedestal removed. it comes with a package of universal screws, most of which you will not need. As for the screws that I was supposed to use, I didn't, I bought longer screws from my local hardware store. The screws to secure the brackets to the rear of the TV were too short, they are metric and I needed screws about 5mm longer than what was supplied. The lag bolts that came with it may have worked fine, but since I had 6 inch walls, I decided to get 4.5 inch lag bolts instead of the 3.5 inch that came with the wall mount for additional strength. In addition to the above "issues" I also needed to add one washer to the mount at the point where it rotates clockwise/counter-clockwise. There is a plastic washer here I suspect for ease of adjusting, however it was tightened too much and became more of an obstacle, so I disassembled this portion, added a metal washer to the plastic washer in order to keep the plastic washer flat and in place. This made the adjustments much easier, sliding against the plastic while the metal washer behind kept the plastic firmly in place.

Also, the sections of this bracket that mount to this particular TV are closer to the center piece that extends from the wall. This leaves the horizontal tubes extending most of the length of the rear of the TV. If you grab the TV from the side to pull it away from the wall, the TV pivots in place and these tubes will hit against the wall. This is simply one of those things you need to get used to, grab the TV in center front from top and bottom and pull the TV straight forward so as not to damage the wall from the cross tubes. I honestly don't see how this could have been deigned differently since the idea is to allow the TV full functional movement, just something to be aware of.

Outside of the above, which honestly are minor, I found this mount to be strong, easy to position the TV, and superior to some other mounts I have looked at. I was/am more concerned with protecting my TV from falling off the wall with a cheaply made mount and I believe this one fits what I was looking for, as well as the multi-position options.

excellent mount
This mount replaced my original flat Sanus mount. It was very easy to replace as the flat mount that attaches directly to the wall was interchangeable with my original set. The articulating feature of the new mount makes watching throughout the room much better. You still need 2 people to lift the flat screen TV onto the wall. I also needed to get longer bolts to screw on the TV attachments to the back of my plasma. What was provided was very short and would be risky to use in earthquake prone California or anywhere else.

Using this mount on a Samsung 52 inch LCD mounted above my fireplace. I works great and seems very sturdy. I mounted the electrical outlet and HDMI outlet behind the left and center holes in the mounting bracket and that works great. I did however have to mount the outlets so that the face plates were flush with the drywall which then allows the mounting bracket to sit flat against the wall. You would probably also have good luck mounting your outlets just above or below the bracket.
