5 Stars fit like a glove
have a 52″ bravia – perfect fit, easy adjustments. you do need 2 people though
4 Stars Installation manual could have been better
Solid construction and worked great with my Bravia 52w3000. The price was a bit steep for what it was (maybe that’s for all flat panel mounts) but it fit perfectly. The instruction manual didn’t have the right info for my TV as it was newer, but it was readily available on the Sony website. My beef was that the instruction manual could have been much clearer. it stated that the screws should be 8mm or larger but don’t believe 8mm screws fit the holes in the brackets. Also, the measurement guidelines could have been better although my installation ended up fine.
5 Stars Piece of mind
Heavy duty. Easy to bolt to wall. Made me feel better hanging a 40″ screen with it
5 Stars Sony SUWL500 Wall Mount Bracket
At first I thought this product was too pricey, however, it was well worth the money. I did not have any problem installing the bracket and the t.v. I purchased other brackets before this and when I got it home I ran into problems immediately such as not having the right screws or the bracket was too confusing to install. The installation instructions for this bracket was very easy to understand and I was able to put up my t.v. within a reasonable amount of time without being overwhelmed and I did it by myself.
4 Stars Sony SUWL500 Wall Mount Bracket
We have a Sony 46″ KDL-46Z4100 and decided to use the Sony mount instead of a generic brand sold in most stores. The Sony mount was very easy to install, is black which matches the TV (most generic mounts are a silver color). For those folks needing to, or desiring to tilt their TV, this mount tilts up to 15 degrees if desired.
Once installed the total distance from the wall to the front of the TV is approximately 5 3/8″. If the studs in your wall are sixteen inches on center you should have no problem installing this wall mount. Ours were not and I was emphatic about having the TV centered in the space we selected to install the TV. Our solution was to use fasteners purchased from Home Depot called “WingIts”. The WingIts are rated to 300 lbs each in all directions and may be used in all wall substrates. They are NOT for use in ceilings, walls only. They are expensive but in my opinion worth the price. FYI: The Sony model discussed here is approximately 50 lbs.
Home Depot also sells a special WingIts drill bit which is the precise diameter needed for use with WingIts fasteners. This bit is also expensive at approximately 12.00 to be used as in my case only once or twice. But as the fasteners in my opinion the bit is worth it’s price, after all you installing a $2000.00 TV, what’s another twelve dollars to make the job safe, correct and easy.
The TV was installed two weeks ago and still hanging today so I am very comfortable with our insulation and the use of the WingIts fasteners, they do the job as advertised.
The only negative we found with the Sony wall mount were the instructions. This mount fits many Sony TV’s, from 32 inches to 46″ and there is some variance for mounting the different size TV’s which this mount accommodates. Making it more difficult the KDL-40Z4100 instructions are not in the wall mounts instillation manual which may make deciphering the instructions confusing. The good news is; Sony packages with the KDL-40Z4100 TV, the instructions for mounting the TV and installing the SUWL 500 Wall Mount Bracket.
If the instructions were clear I would have rated this mount five stars.

5 Stars Sanus solves under-cabinet mounting problem
The Sanus MF215-B1 full motion wall mount bracket allows installation under a wall cabinet. Because mounting brackets require that the tv be lifted above the bracket to connect the wall and tv segments of the bracket it is not possible to mount a tv close to the underside of a wall cabinet unless the swingarm extends beyond the face of the cabinet. With a 14-1/2″ swingarm, the MF215-B1 fills the bill. I mounted my 32″ Vizio within 1/8″ of the cabinet bottom allowing for full swingarm motion (tilt not required at that level) and enabling placement of a dvd player on the countertop under the tv. This saves countertop space and makes for an attractive installation.
5 Stars Works GREAT with Dell 24″ Flat Panel LCD
The MF215-B1 works great with the Dell 24″ Wide-LCD Monitors (Model 2409W). Installation instructions are very straight forward and includes additional parts to accommodate the various VESA mounts. Very solid construction, no unintentional sway, drag or other movement. Initially I was a little concerned about how well it would support the weight of the monitor when fully extending the arm but now I’m convinced that it will do the job just fine.
5 Stars great product
The tv full motion wall mount was perfect and arrived ahead of schedule. Thank you

4 Stars Works fine, would buy it again.
I have this attached to a 32″ Samsung LCD. Sturdy enough, simple install, no problems. You can scoot the tv forward, making your screen seem larger, avoid glare issues from windows…it’s definitely worth it to go “full motion”.
Best buy sells this item for $129 plus tax. So this is half the price!

5 Stars Solid construction, spans 3 wall studs
Just wanted to note that this wall mount does just what it says and that it has the huge advantage of being wide enough to be mounted to 3 wall studs. That provides much better support for heavy flat panels AND allows for more precise mounting when the existing stud pattern is not optimal for 2-stud placement. Lastly, the mount’s adjustability is straightforward except that the rotating part that mounts on the panel was so tight, that I needed to use a long screwdriver to pry it and get it to move. Not a big deal once I realized that it was just stubborn and not ill-designed. Very sturdy.
5 Stars Great Universal Tilt Wall-Mount
Purchased this wall mount for my Pioneer 60″ plasma monitor. Holds this monitor with no problem. Tilt also works as described. Great product and customer support. Would recommend.
5 Stars Sturdy, easy to adjust
Fairly easy to install, included everything but drill bit. I spent a lot of time looking for a updated mounting for my TV, but it was old. I used a toothpick to measure depth and used a spacer. Don’t waste time with the chart.
Tilt allows adjustment to prevent glare from light overhead. I didn’t think I needed this, but is really needed.
With my TV Samsung 58″, I had 4″ of up/down adjustment.
Requires 2 people to safely tilt. For the safety of the giant sheet of glass, use both hands of 2 people and gently tilt, not twist.
Lot of room to slide sideways after releasing safety screws.
Safety screws are small compared to the rest of the mount, but still more than enough.
5 Stars Very Well Made Wall Mount, Somewhat Easy to Install
I purchased two of these mounts for a 50″ and a 60″ Pioneer monitor. The Peerless website was helpful to make sure I choose the correct wall mount model # for these particular monitors. I liked the feature to adjust the screen tilt anywhere between -5 degrees to +15 degrees.
The wall mounts were sturdy and very well made. All parts were neatly packaged and well labeled. The installation instructions were straightforward and relatively easy to follow. It took about 1 hour to install each mount, with most of that time spent on picking a good wall location, deciding on a good mounting height and finding the wall studs using an electronic stud finder. For the best results, make sure that you take the time to fasten the mount to the center of the wall studs and that the mount is perfectly level.
One issue came up that was not addressed in the installation manual. There are two parallel sliding tracks on each bracket that attaches to the TV/monitor. These sliding tracks are used to adjust the screen tilt. The instructions discuss a manual tension adjustment on one of these tracks using a built-in ratchet handle. The tension on the second track was too tight and needed to be adjusted but the instructions did not discuss this. I neded to use a 3mm hex head driver and a small wrench to make this adjustment.
One other minor issue is a reference in the instructions to a screen compatibility chart on the Peerless website that is out of date (June, 2006 was the last update).
Overall, I would recommend this product.
5 Stars Great Mount
Buy 1/4 x 4′ U bolts to mount this thing. I used 7 U bolts and I could hang King Kong off this thing in my drywall. I have a 58′ television and I have absolutely no worries of this television dropping. One flaw in this mount is gaining access to the back of the television once it’s hung. It’s minor though and not enough to draw back from a 5 star rating.
