Peerless ST670P Tilt Wall Mount for 42" to 71" Displays (Black) Non-security Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this wall mount for a new Pioneer PDP-6010FD 60" plasma flat screen, and can highly recommend this mount. It is engineered and built with superior construction quality, easily holding my plasma TV weighing about 150 pounds (rated up to 250lbs). Mounting the universal bracket to the back of the plasma was extremely easy, just four bolts and washers (provided) that locked down, make for an extremely rigid mounting of the TV onto the bracket.
Since this mount covers televisions up to 71", it should work for most sets, as long as the maximum horizontal distance between the mounting holes is about 35" or less (check the product manual to get the exact maximum distance). The bracket's width and weight handling capacity requires that you mount it onto 3 wall studs, as it is approximately 40" wide. However, this actually helps you with mounting the bracket in a very level manner.
Here is a short narrative of how you go about mounting your TV using this wall mount. First, locate the center stud that will be used as the center mounting point, and use one of the provided lag bolts to mount the bracket on the wall at the desired location, using the topmost center hole on the wall bracket. Now mount your level on top of the bracket and using the installed center bolt as a pivot, rotate one side of the bracket or the other until your level indicates that the mount is perfectly level. Now using a marker pen, mark the two points to be drilled on the left and right outer studs, perfectly centered in the desired mounting holes. Drill the appropriate holes, then screw in the lag bolts, fixing the bracket into a perfectly level position. Now mark, drill for, and mount the remaining 3 bolts (there are six total, two at each end and two in the center mounting positions.)
The final step is to mount your TV onto the wall bracket and secure it. With help from a friend, securely grasp the TV and "hook" it onto the wall bracket. From underneath, reach behind with a standard or phillips head screw driver and secure the lock screw on the bottom of each bracket hook. This final step secures the TV to the wall mount.
I'll tell you, I live in the heart of earthquake county in SoCal, and I fully believe that my house will suffer damage well before this TV comes off the wall in a seismic event.
Overall, this wall mount is well worth every penny. Like always, Amazon comes through with a great product at a good price.

Just installed one of these. No problems and works fine with my Samsung 46-inch LCD.
Instructions are clear and complete. They are generic instructions for a variety of televisions but include an 18-page list of TV models indicating exactly which of the bolts, spacers, washers, etc. are to be used with each model. Each variety and size of this miscellaneous hardware comes individually packaged and labeled to match the instructions.
The general idea is to attach the wall plate to the wall; attach the brackets to the TV; then hang the TV (via the brackets) on the wall plate.
A few installation hints:
1) It is a two-person job so plan on having some help. A second person is a big help when lining up the wall-plate to be sure you drill the holes so that the TV ends up level and in the position you want. And, chances are your TV is too heavy or bulky to be moved safely by one person anyway.
2) You will want to read and re-read the instructions before you start.
3) Once you have a feel for the instructions use a yellow highlighter to mark information specific to your situation and to mark the packaging for the bolts, etc. you need.
4) Use of a small mirror and flashlight can help you direct the long allen wrench to the bolts that lock the brackets to the wall plate. Holding the flashlight is another place where a second pair of hands can help.
5) Do not adjust nor lock-in the tilt until after you have connected the wires to the back of the TV. Better yet, attach them before hanging the TV onto the wall plate.
UPDATE:
I read in another review that you should have a level and a stud finder. I probably should have mentioned that in my hints above but didn't think to since I already had those things. So, I agree, you will want to use those to do the job correctly. For the stud finder, get a reasonably good one as the cheap ones are not much better than tapping on the wall and listening for the best sounding spots. I have a Zircon 60369 Studsensor I65 Onestep Center Finding Stud Finder (which I bought at Lowe's). It says "Center Finding" but what I like is the way it also identifies the edges of studs. If I can get repeatable locations on both edges and the center then I believe I have found the stud! Zircon sells more expensive models so if you have difficult walls (e.g. plywood, or plaster with lath) you may want to consider those, but this model worked fine for my typical 5/8" drywall over 2x4 studs, even with some plaster over the drywall.
Another good tip I saw was to attach the brackets to the TV first thing. This will allow you to measure more carefully exactly where you want the wall plate. Come to think of it, this is exactly what I did, but for a different reason. I wanted to be sure the brackets would fit my TV before committing myself to drilling holes in the wall!
UPDATE2 (18 Aug 2010):
Got a second flat panel so got another one of these. It has slightly changed since my last purchase but is essentially the same -- which is a good thing. The reason for this update is to point out that the "18-page list of TV models" mentioned above is no longer included in the package -- which is NOT a good thing.
The instructions send you to a web page, but all that does is tell you which mount to buy for a particular TV model and not which mounting hardware to use. But you already know which mount to buy or you wouldn't be reading the instructions! I resorted to calling the 800 number to find out which hardware to use. I suppose I could have done some trial-and-error but I asked since I'd rather not risk messing up mismatched threads. So I knocked off a star based on decreased ease of installation.
P.S. Their web page didn't even recognize my TV (Panasonic TC-P50G25) which is neither a particularly new nor obscure model.
