I purchased the mount for a 32" Samsung LCD on wood studs (16" on center). The item was well packed to prevent scratches and there was a slew of mounting screws for different makes and models (Peerless actually provides a link to a PDF file hosted on their site: http://www.peerlessmounts.com/1 which gives the screw size for several makes and models of TVs). The instructions say to use the smallest screw first and get at least three full turns - if you use a screw that is too long it can hit the screen....ACK! I just re-read the PDF and it does provide the width, length, and if you need to use a washer. I didn't catch that the first time so I ended up using my own washers on the M6 screws as the provided ones did not fit (I see now because they are not required).
The wall mount lag screws seemed of good quality and fine for my fairly light TV - had this been for a larger TV I may have wanted to get some beefier ones but my buddy mounted his 52" Samsung LCD with the same lag screws and it has not fallen yet ;).
The only ding I would give the product was I felt it was a little expensive for what it is (again, at the price I paid) and as others had mentioned the "security screws" to lock in the bottom of the TV were pretty difficult to get to. Not locking them in makes the TV feel not very secure in the mount. What I ended up doing was using a flexible extension on my drill along with a security Torx bit to tighten them up. I could have done it with the provided tool but you can only turn it 180 degrees before it hits the wall (i.e.: half a turn) and I would still be doing it :).
Pros:
- Holds TV very close to the wall.
- Mount is very sturdy metal.
- Open back provides access for recessed wiring box.
- You can slide the TV all the way to the edge of the mount left or right.
- TV is holding strong.
Cons:
- Directions could be a little clearer.
- Security screws on bottom are necessary for a solid fit, but very difficult to get to.
All in all I would highly recommend this mount, especially at the price it is now ($[...]). I would have given this a 4.5 but since I cannot I am listing it as a 4 (pssst...HEY AMAZON...how about a 1 - 10 star rating???)

| | The wall mount worked great and as expected for a Samsung 23" LCD TV but did not fit a Samsung 46" LCD TV. I suspect the product's title should be changed to "...23"-26"..." instead of ...23"-46" based on my engineering experience.

| Don't trust that your TV will fit | |
| | I bought this mount thinking that it sounded like a great deal for my 42" LCD TV, and while the description of the product said that it should fit most 42" LCD TVs, it didn't fit mine by a long shot. I wound up having to go out and buy a mount at a retail store for about four times the price on top of the hassle of returning this wall mount. (Amazon was very good about the return, however.) So, please save yourself time, effort, and money and double check to make sure that this mount will actually fit your TV.

| Half the Price, worth more than every penny | |
| | I bought this for our 32 in Vizio and it worked great and was about half the price of every one we had found. We love it.
