Very Satisfied
|
 Great product, great price. The washers did not fit the intended lag bolts but found some of my own. Spacers also did not fit. For the price it didnt matter. Im very satisfied. Had it up in 1 hour.

Great product at exceptional value
|
I have installed many plat panel televisions with store bought wall mounts. This mount is just as high in quality and comes with the same amount of bolts/washers as the expensive store bought brackets. This is a excellent product at an exceptional price!

Great fixed mount
|
Just mounted by Samsung LN52A750 with this 4114 mount this past weekend. Super easy to mount and it came with all necessary hardware. The lag bolts worked fine as well (I had no need to go out and get stronger ones from the store). I did not even need to use the provided spacers. This mount is solid as a rock. I went with the fixed mount, as I knew this would keep the panel closer to the wall (not as much of a gap). Overall, fantastic product!

this mount is the in weight, price and lenth. The same mount at
BESTBUY is at least 199. So far everything that I bought here is excellent and with the economy the way is, it cames smooth on the packet.

due not be fooled by the more expensive wall mounts, this thing is the real deal. had it mounted on my wall in less than 20 minutes. i put it through its paces b4 i put my 50 plasma on it, i yanked on it, pulled on it, and even hung from it.(literally) as long as you hit those studs this thing will not budge. another fantastic product from monoprice.

Amazing mount. Beefy mount at a fraction of the prices in big-box stores. I, like others, broke one of the anchor bolts (it was the last one, and I was steamed). But, a quick trip to the home center fixed that. The good build quality and unbeatable price makes Monoprice stand out above the rest. Thanks!

Excellent product
|
Installed this with my new 50 Samsung PN50A400 I picked up for $800. Very solid installno reason to go with anything more expensive whatsoever. I ended up putting lag bolts in two studs and adding additional toggle bolts for balance, as the plate just didnt cover the span of my studs. It would have held without the toggles, but I just felt better about it this way.
Lag bolts are a little cheap feeling, but they worked fine. I would be careful not to snap them if your studs are uncommonly hard or tight.
The kit could use a template instead of having to bring the plate to the wall to measure for mountingwould be a lot easier, but in the scheme of things, not really a big deal.
The design of the Samsung allows for some access to the back ports even when installed with this bracket, so some of the concerns of not being able to reach the back ports are not relevant with this TV. Even so, putting the TV on and off this is a piece of cake with a long neck Philips screwdriver and two people, so it is not that big of a deal if you need to move cables around every once in a while.

Great Bracket
|
Great bracket, extremely well made, would definitely buy again. I mounted a 6 series Samsung LCD.
Advice
I reiterate what past reviews have said, you will need a phillips screwdriver with a 12 shank to tighten the safety screws on the botton. I had a very hard time finding one. I wouldnt worry about tightening these if you have a table under the tv and dont have kids. The tv will hang solidly on the top hooks. I have to worry about my kids pushing up on the bottom of the tv and knocking it off, thats why I felt they should be secured.
If you use the recessed wall plate from monoprice, you can place the tv on the wall without any spacers or hardware. You will need to carefully plan it out and make sure you are spot on though. Both the HDMI (I used a port saver from monoprice) and the power plug need to be in just the right position. If you plan it out this way, the look is extremely clean and you can barely see any wires even from the side.

Dont be afraid because the price is so much less than the big box stores. This mount was a great purchase. I have it holding a 52 Samsung with no problems. I would recommend getting better lag bolts from your local hardware store.

Easy setup. Lags went in fine. I did buy 4 new M6 bolts ($1.25 total) at my local hardware store to attach the arms to my 40 Sammy. The M6x30mms that it comes with were a bit long for my TV. It does come with spacers and washer to shorten the bolts, I simply opted to buy shorter ones.

Well worth the money
|
Monoprice.com originally shipped me the wrong bracket but stepped up and overnightd me the correct one when I needed it for my install.
The bracket is strong and well made and like others have suggested, I bought some better lag bolts from Home Depot for under 2 dollars. I used this bracket to mount my 40 inch Samsung 7 series and have some tips for anyone mounting a Samsung 7 series. For the 40 inch you have to use the 6M bolts but they are only 30mm long, I suggest buying some 40mm bolts and using the small spacers (10mm) included to give some relief for the wires unless you plan on cutting out some sheet rock behind the cable panel. Without the spacers, high grade cables cant make the bends needed and will cause the tv to not sit level (TV will want to push out on the side the cables mount). Also if you are using a VGA cable for laptop or computer, I suggest either getting a 90 degree down adapter and a portsaver adapter so you can have the cable plug in vertically (parallel to the display). Most monitor cables have a very long post with screws so it doesnt have the space to bend.
Overall this is a great mount and would recommend it to anyone who needs a excellent low profile flush mount bracket. Thanks Monoprice.

Great Deal
|
Exactly what I needed. I was not going to spend what Best Buy and Circuit City wanted for some steel. This mount did the trick. Very low profile. I was scared about the wires at first but once I put in up everything was fine. Great deal if you dont want to get ripped off and spend upwards of 100 $ for a mount.

Excellent value. Almost cant believe the price as I found the mount to be of quite good quality. Had no problems with the lag bolts... seemed pretty beefy to me. Used the mount for a 42 Sharp Aquos. Nice & close to the wall, just as I preferred. Only thing I had to do was cut the M6 machine screws to fasten the brackets to the LCD, I wanted a clean install and didnt want to use the included spacers. Its absolutely insane what similar quality mounts sell for in box stores. Thank you Monoprice!

Great Mount!
|
This mount arrived at 6pm and I had the tv hung above the fireplace by 730. I used the lag screws provided with the kit, but predrilled the holes and liquid soaped the screws. No problems at all - I caught a stud on the left, a stud in the center and two 75lb toggle bolts on the right - solid as a rock wall. The HDMI input on the tv was directly behind one of the arms, so it was a tight fit and the cable is a bit stressed, but other than that, it looks awesome and it was at least $75 bones cheaper than any store in town, even with shipping. GREAT PRODUCT...GREAT Price.

Great Mount for 52 Samsung LCD !
|
This mount was great for the mounting of my new Samsung 52 LCD. The TV weighs in at about 70lbs.
This mount included everything I needed to install it. I, however, opted for more secure bolts. I bought heavy gauge SAE 1/4 and 5/8 toggle bolts. I installed my mounting plate with 9 of these bolts. ((Expensive TV.. It will not come off my wall))
I would like, however, for the mountto come with a cardboard or paper mounting template so you wouldnt need to actually haul the plate up to the wall and mark the openings. This will help alot!
I also installed the spacer between the TV bolts and TV. This afforded me an extra 5/8th - 7/8th more space for my wires. It worked great! My cables are not stressed whatsoever with this extra space.. and the TV is just under 3 off the wall.
Great mount... equally great price!

Dont buy those 200$ and more mount from your dealers!!!!

I cant believe my dealer was able to look me straight into the eyes and ask 285$ for a 19$ piece of metal... You will put a 19$ piece of metal to support a 5000$ plasma? YES!
I just installed that 19$ wall mount from Monoprice and its working PERFECTLY with my Pioneer Elite Kuro Pro-111FD (50). The mount is really sturdy and easy to intall and have all the necessary nuts to install that Pioneer Elite plasma.
DONT BUY THE 200$ MOUNT YOUR DEALER WANTS TO SELL YOU FOR YOUR PLASMA! ITS NOT WORTH IT! Dont fall for the usual FUD crap from your dealers...

Wall Mount works as promised. Used it for Panny 50 Plasma (TH-50PZ85U). Sturdy so long as you hit those two studs. One word of caution This mount is a flush mount so there is VERY little room for cables to stick out. Be sure to plan for that. The panasonic plasma connections connect horizontally instead of vertically. Luckily, I found a recessed wall gang for all the video connections which gave me the extra room behind the set for all the cabling. If your set connects vertically, you shouldnt have a problem.
Save your cash and go with with the mono.

Only negative is that you need a very long screw driver to tighten the safety screws.

minor complaints but worth it
|
My 46" TV looks awesome above my fireplace. A tilt mount would have stuck out almost past the mantle and wouldn't have looked as good. Minor complaints are that the width of the mount doesn't let it hit 3 studs, so mine hits a stud close to the middle and one on the end. It's still sturdy, but I would have felt better if it were long enough to hit all three studs. With the low clearance I needed a long phillips screw driver to toggle the clips when i hung it, and I needed angled cable adapters. Overall, still worth it for the price.

Take it from a pro. If you pay good money for one of the high dollar mounts in the box stores your tossing your hard earned dollars away.
I used to install only level mount brand but I think for the 75 buck price diff I can use a small level to make sure its straight. I dont need one glued to it. I feel like I am being more honest with my clients and performing the same top notch work they demand.

Good quality, EASY installation, TIGHT fit to wall
|
The low profile wall mount is very easy to install. Four lag bolts into two studs, check for level, drill those lag bolts in with a hex head. Thats all for the wall bracket. The kit comes with many different screws for the behind the TV brackets. The screws to fit my Samsung A550 were included. Lastly attach the brackets to the holes for wall mount on your TV, slide over the wall bracket, secure with bottom latches - done. It took me about 20 minutes from opening the package to turning it on to see the final product.
NOTE - you might want to plug in any cables/cords before lifting it up on the mount. The mount is VERY low profile, not much room between the wall and the back of TV. I couldn't even get my hand in there... so I am glad I made connections before. I noticed my HDMI cable behind the set is bent slightly (a 6 foot Monoprice 24AWG cat 2 CL2 HDMI). This could be corrected by using a 90 degree connector... but it works.
A couple years ago I purchased a mount from a walk-in retailer for about 3X the cost. This mount is equal in quality, perhaps even a little nicer as the bottom securing latches are easier to use.

Great mounts for little money
|
I bought 2 of these, one for a 50in Panny plasma, the other for a 42in LG plasma. Easy to put on the wall and comes with more than enough hardware for the job. As stated in other reviews, make sure to connect any cables (HDMI, Component, etc. ) before placing the TV on the wall mount. It is low profile so there is no room to maneuver once the TV is placed on the mount. I recommend Monoprice to everyone!

Only issue I had was with the enclosed Lag bolts being too weak. I snapped off the head of one. Use your own better Grade lag bolts and you can not go wrong.

This mount is the Best Bang for the Buck for a simple low profile mount. The mount is well made and very strong. The only downside to this mount is the small size of the cutouts for cabling and power. Highly Recommended!!

Works well

Works well for a 65" Panasonic TC-P65S1. It's a little narrow, as there is only about an inch of spare plate on either side of the vertical bars with such a large TV. But it's very sturdy and holds the weight well.

For about $30 shipped, this is an outstanding wall mount system. Heavy and sturdy pieces. I have no question about it's ability to hold up our 42" plasma.
One issue I had were the lag bolts, I snapped two of them going into the studs. I drilled pilot holes at specified diameter, albiet not able to reach the depth of the lag bots with my standard bits. Made a run to the local big box hardware store and got new lag bolts, same size, and they drove into 4 new pilot holes without a problem. But the new lag bolts only cost me $.50/ea so no big deal.
Also, this is not a quality issue, but something to note, I did need to get a 12" driver extension to reach the safety screws behind the TV. Found one at the local Harbor Freight Tools store for $5. Which, I'll need to utilize ever time I mess with the cables because the fit of the TV against the wall is snug... cables are OK, but can't fuss with them once the TV is locked with the safety screws.
Nitpicking stuff though, the important thing is it's a no-frills, get-the-job done piece of hardware for dirt cheap. Don't waste your money on an expensive mount you'll never see, this one is VERY solid. Highly recommend!

Shipped about 2 hours after I ordered it. Directions were simple and easy to follow. The mount holds the tv very close to the wall which is what I needed.
Only problems were that they switched to the heavy duty lag bolts but used the same washers so the washers didn't fit. But I had 4 extra washers so not a big deal. Also it would be nice if the secuity screws to lock the bottom of the mount into place were slot head instead of just phillips. It takes a 20" screwdriver to get to them and I have not found the phillip screwdrive that long yet.
Overall I highly recommend this mount.

Useful bracket
|
Bracket was just as advertised: slimline/low profile, sturdy, and well cut (no sharp edges).
I scored it a 9 because, after having worked with a number of brackets, the only thing I'd say negatively about this one is that its associated screws and lag bolts are *very* greasy. I noticed quickly, and didn't make a mess, but be careful if you're installing on new/very light carpeting.
Otherwise, great product at a very reasonable price compared to the "name" brands (which, in many cases, are these, repackaged!).

Good to go!
|
Not as heavy as some, certainly sufficient to do the job. No problem with the lag screws as long as you drill a proper pilot hole. I did use the spacers to get a little more room behind the set (Panasonic 50 inch plasma). Fine service from MonoPrice.

Cheap but with good quality. Does its job and easy to install.
(This mount is as good as the other one I spent $100 at Sears a year ago.)

amateur's review
|
Wow this took a lot of work for me and a buddy to get up but now that it is up it is great.
First off I went to home depot and replaced the lag bolts and the screws that mount the tv to the arms with newer ones. I figured it was better safe than sorry.
Now the excess work comes from the fact that the in wall cables I bought were very stiff and the hdmi ports were wayyyyyy to the side of the tv. Basically the hole I had cut out behind the circular hole in the wall piece of the mount would not work. There is no way I could get the cables to bend that way without ruining a hdmi port. So I removed everything, raised the mount, and then made it so the arms were as high as possible without showing over the top of the tv to allow for access to the hdmi ports. Cut a new hole and after a while I was up and running.
Materials are solid. After reading revies I opted to just be safe and get better bolts.
If you have a 40 inch tv or larger YOU MUST have a 20 inch screw driver. There is no way to get your hand behind this TV.
Like people said this is a very close to the wall mount, be prepared to use the enclosed spacers to provide room for the hdmi cables.
Honestly you can’t beat the price.

Good mount
|
Great mount, better price. Im a little worried about somebody pushing the TV up while messing with the connections on the bottom of the tv... there is not anything there to keep the TV from slipping off the mount if it gets pushed up a 1/4 of an inch. That is the only con though, this mount is really solid.
I did not have the problems that other had with the included hardware, plenty of extra hardware was provided.
Just a tip for those doing an in wall cable install... check for horizonal studs! We have wainscoting on our walls and I just assumed that it was attached to the vertical studs like the rest of the wall. I felt dumb whenever I tried to fish the cables only to find a stud 6 inches above my outlet box. This gave me an excuse to pull my power cords to the room behind the TV, since I had to cut a small hole to get to that stud. In the end, it gave me a nicer looking install.

Fantastic at this price !!!
|
I had already bought 2 from somewhere else at $65, but when i saw these prices i returned and got these instead, took no time to install, and holds my Vizio 47 perfectly.
Its not as thick steel as others ive seen, but i dont think it needs to be. It holds 165lbs and most TVs are well under 100lbs. So no worries there!
Cant be beat ...dont fear the cheap price, this will do its job the same as any other brand at over $100 in the stores.
Keep it up monoprice .....you rock !!!!

|
Its a good wall mount but keep in mind that its VERY low profile, so I had to use the spacer, otherwise it was impossible to connect the HDMI cables. Also like everybody else said, buy new lag bolt!

Great Mount!
|
I just finished mounting my 52 Samsung Series 8 on the wall with this mount. The mount is very sturdy. My studs are 24 apart and I was able to catch two of them with the lag bolts. I read some bad reviews about the lag bolts that were provided so I went to the local hardware store and bought (4) 5/16 x 3 1/2 stainless steel bolts. I think they cost like 39 cents each. Once we got the 4 lag bolts in I made my brother who is 180lbs hang on the mount. There was no flexing at all. This mount is extremely sturdy with only 4 lag bolts.
The only problem that we had was when we hung the T.V. it was really close to the wall and very hard to connect the HDMI and component cables to it. We ended up using the spacers that were in the kit and I had to take my component plate off the wall and just run the wires straight through to plug into the T.V.
Overall, the process was extremely easy. This was the first large T.V. that we have hung and it looks great!

So far so good. I have had the TV mounted for a month now. Only 2 minor issues. 1. It is pretty tough to screw in the guide screw (bottom screw). 2. It would be nice if there were more than two oversized holes in the wall plate for cables to pass through. In any event, for the money, this is great deal. I have recommended Monoprice to several friends!

Best $20 Ive ever spent. This is one solid Wall mount that is holding up my Samsung LN40A650 TV very nicely and very close to the wall. The only problem is that because of its low profile, its difficult to tighten the bottom brackets because there is so little clearance. You need a long thin screwdriver to do it.

Great for the price!

I dont know why people complain about the mounting offsets. The unit can be bolted to the far left or right and close to center and will still hold my 215# ass even hanging from the 12 or so inches that are not bolted.
I gave this a 9 rating because the lag bolts are crap and should be replaced with graded bolts from the hardware store before mounting it up.
Sweet price after seeing brick and motar prices!

Very heavy duty wall-mount. Only reason that this didnt get 10 stars was due to breaking one of the lag bolts. I really think there should have been heavier lag bolts sent with this product. Currently holding up my Toshiba 52HL167! Looks great on the wall.
I had to use the plastic spacers with the mounting bolts. This will be very close to the wall. I really liked it, but depending on your tv, some of the cables will not plug in. Mine worked fine, and the TV just floats there.
A Thanks Monoprice!

Great product at a great price. Very easy installation! The only reason I gave it a 9 was because I didnt put too much pressure on one of the lag screws but I managed to break it off. The way I mounted it though, I was able to use a different hole just below the broken screw so I could just leave it in the wall. I will definitely recommend this product!!

Correct cost to value ratio
|
Product works quite well, installed with a minimum of difficulty. We were even able to fudge things slightly to offset the TV from our inconveniently-placed studs. Tightening down the screws to lock the TV into the mount takes a very long screwdriver for us, and/or quite small hands.
The low profile looks awesome, but we have to dismount it from the wall to get to a lot of the jacks, which can be annoying. Pretty much exactly what we wanted, though, and the price can't be beat.

Great looking, but not realistic to clamp bottom
|
This was easy to install, but make sure you buy the 90 degree HDMI coupling cause space is tight. Also the locking clamp is impossible to get to with the TV on the Wall.
Looks like a pic on the wall

good price. works well overall. the rack is very sturdy. some useful tips may be helpful to others.
The latch is hard to reach if the TV is wide. Mine is 46" SONY, need a 1 foot long screw driver extension rod.
for the installation spot I chose, there are 3 wall studs can be used. However, there is no holes on the rack for the middle stud. So, I can only use 4 bolts on two studs instead of 6 bolts on 3 studs. Although 4 bolts are probably strong enough, I like to have some extra margin.
There is no fine tilt adjustment except shifting around within the screw holes. So be very careful on the drilled bolt hole positions, make sure they are aligned horizontally.
Also don't use too much force when tighten the bolts. I had broken them in the past. This time, I made sure to drill the correct pilot hole size, and put some wax on the bolt thread to lubricate.

Nice Bracket, not recommended for 50" Panasonic Plasmas

Nice Bracket, not recommended for 50" Panasonic Plasmas(and probably other sizes).
I bought a tilting bracket and this one just in case I could go
with the lower profile, but the cabling sticks out of the back
too far to make it practical. Maaaybe it could work with a bunch
of 90degree adapters, but it seemed like too much extra gear.
None the less Monoprice is still the leader for AV parts.
Take that Monster Cable($70 for 6ft HDMI)!
Take that Best Buy($99 for wall mount bracket)!

Can't Beat this Deal with a Baseball Bat!!!

The mount is very sturdy and easy to install... The only Con bout this mount are the bolts that come with it... I had to go to Home Depot to buy 4 heavy duty Lag Bolts because the stock ones broke off when I was installing the mount on the wall... I suggest you buy your own, their only 50 cents each so for $2.00 extra on top of what you pay for the mount is still a Super Great Buy. I am very satisfied about the mount and my TV looks awesome!!! I would Recommend this to everyone! Also the TV looks very low profile and it was just what I was looking for...

Yes I drilled the holes for the lag screws deep enough (deeper than they said) and yes the lag screws sheared in half. Now what do you do? You can't drill them out. You have to move the mount, buy new lag scres, drill new holes and days later you are done. I would recommend drilling a larger hole (one size larger) than the directions state, slightly deeper than they state.

Good price, but.....
|
Bought bracket based on recommendation from AVS forum. Overall, bracket looks solid and well priced. But Im giving it a 7 out of 10 because some of the included hardware is no good and has caused me some compromise.
I didnt believe the other reviews about the lag bolts being weak b/c they appeared strong enough. Boy was I wrong. They suck. As careful as I was tightening the bolt, one broke. And you know what, the bolt is stuck and you now have to change height of your mount. So much for all that time measuring and finding the optimal mounting height. The point is, save yourself the do-over, get some real lag bolts.

Mostly good
|
Pros Definitely low-profile. Easy installation.
Cons Unsurprisingly, its impossible to access rear connections on a tv once its on the wall. Thats not really a con - just a warning. My main complaint is the quality of the mounting hardware, specifically the lag bolts used to mount the bracket. Six were supplied, which was nice since only four were required to mount the bracket on studs. The problem is that three of the six sheared off as I tightened them into wall studs. Monoprice should consider changing the supplier of their hardware to someone who makes higher quality hardware.

Nice product at a great price compared to competing wall mounts. However, this wall mount has one major caveat, The bracket length is exactly 32 inch. This is means if the vertical center of your flat screen is in line with a stud. The bracket cannot be fasten into the two studs to the left and right of you center stud. If they would just make the bracket 36 instead of 32 then I would rate this product 9 stars.

Works, but too close to the wall
|
Tried mounting my Samsung 50 plasma, but there simply wasnt enough space behind the TV to even plug in the power cable and definately not enough room for the Monoprice HDMI, component and VGA cables.
Use with caution for TVs that have horizontal plugs. I mounted two 2x4s behind the mounting plate to get the space needed and bought longer lag bolts to make it work. Also, the washers that come with the included lag bolts do not fit the bolts... obvious error.
I made it work, but be warned it is very close to the wall.

16" stud problem
|
This mount is exactly 32" wide. And the screw holes are even less wide than that. This means that you can't quite span 3 studs @ 16" apart. So, if you're trying to mount your tv in the center of your wall, the mount must be placed to one side or the other. By cleverly adjusting the mount and then counter-adjusting the tv, you can probably still get your tv into the center of the wall. But it would be much easier if they would just re-engineer this to be 33" wide with 32" wide screw holes.
