best mount for a large screen tv, May 20, 2007

I recently purchased the brand new panasonic th-58pz700u, this is a large tv that weighs 140lbs, so after doing much research I found this sanus mount to be the best one for this large tv, the hardware that comes with the mount is excellent, you do not have to run to the hardware store for extra nuts/washers bolts etc… everything you could possibly need comes with the mount. the best part about this unit is that you can install onto 3 studs instead of the more conventional 2 stud installation, this makes it much more secure. I was very lucky in that my house was built back in 1955 and back then they used studs spaced at 12 inches apart instead of the current 16 inch apart requirement, this enabled me to actually use 4 studs for the install, needless to say this tv will never fall off the wall. basically when your going to install this mount read all the instructions thoroughly first and then use masking tape to “draw” on the wall exactly where you want the tv, then figure out where the mount will go in relation to the tv’s mounting holes, then just find the studs and install the mount, I am very happy with this mount and tv looks great, enjoy

Mount for 65″ Plasma Panasonic TC-P65S1- No Adpt Needed, December 12, 2009

Ok, after reading reviews on how this mount would not work with some panasonic sets (as well as some others), i was not sure if i needed to by the extended adapter. Just to avoid the installers leaving should this not work i bought the adapter.

results: you DONT need the adapter/extender for this TV. everything you need is in the box.

my TV details:

65″ Plasma Panasonic TC-P65S1

Sanus TV wall mount – impressive in this day and age …, January 20, 2007

In this day and age of mediocre design, shoddy quality control, unreadable instructions, I was quite impressed with this wall mount. It’s only a wall mount and, as such, is not the focus of attention. However, it is the slimmest, lowest profile wall mount I’ve seen. There were multiple options for stud wall mount and concrete block wall mount, and there were well thought out hardware options included. Frequently when I buy a product such as this, I have to run down to the hardware store to get additional nuts and bolts because I’m finicky about the installation. In this case, There was enough hardware and nuts and bolts left over for me to open a hardware store. After I talked to a structural engineer (I didn’t hire one of course, but I’m in a related profession) about mounting over a fireplace, I found the enclosed procedure and hardware from Sanus were even better than the engineer proposed.

I had a 50″ plasma to mount. This bracket had enough hole spacing options to mate to this and a thousand other TVs. It had optional brackets, which I didn’t use, that could have extended it to what seems like a 100″ TV, although don’t sue me if I exaggerated.

I also liked the fact that it was made in the USA. The only nit to pick was that the company took about 3 weeks over the Christmas holidays to get it to me.
