I bought this to hang my Samsung 75" HU8550 UHD TV. While it works and fits my tv, i was a little disappointed with a couple things with this mount. First, when mounting this to the wall with wooden studs, the width of the mount is not long enough to span three studs. In other words, It is not wide enough to mount one bolt in one stud, skip the next one, then mount the other bolt in the next stud. So what you are left with, like me, is mounting this to the wall with one bolt on the extreme right holes of the mount and the other bolt in the middle of the mount. It makes me a bit nervous that there is no bolt on the left because of the lack of width of this mount. Additionally, it is impossible for me to adjust the tilt of the tv while hanging due to the size of my tv. You have to take a guess and adjust it before hanging it on the mount. There simply isnt enough room to reach your arm back there with large tvs. Lastly, to secure the bottom hooks, you have to reach from under the tv to tighten screws to secure it. Again, because of the size of my tv and the tilt down i had to set, there is only 1/2" between the tv and the wall, making it impossible to reach these screws to tighten.

First I would like to comment on amazon.com. I ordered this item with free "super saver" shipping and the box was on my doorstep within 18 hours. Great service.
Let me also say that I ordered this item from amazon in April of 2009 and received EXACTLY what was pictured. After reading others commenting on receiving something other than what was pictured I was a little nervous while placing the order. The wall mount itself is excellent quality, extremely strong and durable. I agree with others that say to be sure to have a good stud finder and make the measurements before placing the order for this product. I mounted my Samsung 40" LN40B750 TV in my closet with this mount after removing the closet doors. I tilted the screen down 5 degrees and can easily watch a perfect picture from my bed.
A note on the tilting. I read another review that said this mount could only be tilted down 5 degrees and tilted up 15 degrees. This is not correct. If this mount is installed correctly one should be able to tilt the TV down up to 15 degrees.
The "one touch tilting" is definitely misleading. Tilting requires loosening two machine screws with a screw driver and hand loosening the "one touch tilt" screws.
Another note: When I received this item I tested the screw sizes in my television and purchased the same screws in stainless steel as another review suggested.
Overall, This mount is well worth the money. It took under a half hour to install. If any product fails it will be the television, not the mount. once this thing is on the wall, it wont rip off. Follow the instructions carefully and everything will be fine.

This is the second Peerless mount I have purchased. The first mount was a bit tricky to install due to area it was being hung the wall studs were too far apart. I had to do additional framing to install the mount.
This time my studs were 16 in. on center and the bracket went up on the wall as fast as my Bosch PS41-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion 1/4-Inch Hex Impact Driver Kit with 2 Batteries, Charger and Case could drive the screws into the stud.
I'm not sure I understand the complaints about the wall side mount being flimsy from others reviewers, my mount seemed more than stiff enough for hanging a 50 lbs. TV on my bedroom wall.
The TV brackets were a snap to put on as soon as you find the right screw in Peerless's package. You can either try and find your TV manual to find the right screw size listed in the instructions or you can do trial and error... mine screw was in the 5th bag!
Simple install, made in the USA and Amazon Prime Delivery. I don't think I can ask for much else.

I uploaded a picture of the actual mount you will receive if you order this from Amazon. I think that what Amazon is selling/shipping is a later version as I could not find anything among current models on the Peerless website that look like the Amazon picture. The current version looks like a simpler, but stronger mount as you are hooking up the TV closer to the wall. The earlier version might make it easier to shift the TV horizontally as it moves on a round bar, but that shouldn't be a big deal as I doubt I will be moving it much after the initial installation. I prefer a stronger mounting arrangement when it comes to a $2000 TV anyway.
Like others, I found the mount easy to install with the included hardware and the recommended tools. I used a socket on the wall mount screws for the last 3/4" or so as they are pretty long and my drill stalled out. I was able to do it myself with a 42" plasma, but another person would have been nice; someone else would be mandatory for anything bigger.
I'm very happy with the product and having my plasma on the wall as it really seemed to "open" up the room vs using the bottom mount and putting it on a table. The tilt feature gives a good viewing angle.
Update-Amazon now has a current picture of the mount that you will receive if you buy this.
