There are other good reviews on this product, so let me simply add a couple quick conclusions. The unit is very well built and sturdy. Inspires confidence that the TV will not go anywhere in an earthquake. Easy to install. Performs as advertised with our 42" Sony Bravia. Only complaint is that it is stiff to maneuver. Not a big problem for a large man like myself but my wife struggles with it some. I've never owned one of these before but it seems like a good value.

10 months ago I installed this swingout mount and a new 50" plasma display that weighs about 100 pounds. Because of the quality design, materials and construction, I have never worried that the mount could fail even though the display is massive. When I first installed the mount it was somewhat stiff - even without a display hanging on it - and after installation the display was a bit challenging to move. It required patience and 'pulses' of force to start it moving. However, now that the mount has been in use for 10 months it swings out and glides much more easliy, yet maintains the intended position for the display. Thus, it appears that the arm pivots have a 'break-in' period. I would expect that period to be variable, depending on the load and the amount or frequency of movement. I probably move mine a few times a week... When viewing, the added impact of aiming a nice flat panel screen right at the viewer is surprising! When not viewing, the ability to 'put it away', close to the wall, keeps the room looking much more tidy. This product has met all my expectations and I recommend it as an excellent value.

I bought this for a Sony 41" LCD. It arrived faster than expected (in Alaska!) and was relatively easy to install. It does take two people to hang the bracket on the wall, and a stud finder (hope yours works better than ours) but the instructions are easy to follow. It took two of us about 90 minutes to do, and the TV is easy to adjust (other reviews said differently) though the new Sony is pretty light (for a 41").
