Well made [Posted on 2007-07-30]
I bought this mount for my RV and so far it has worked out well. Very well made.
Poor Design [Posted on 2007-10-27]
The tilt mechanism is poorly designed and is essentially worthless. I attached a Vizio 26" TV (16 lbs) and the VM3B won't hold the screen at the angle I want. The VM3B is supposedly rated to hold up to 30 lbs.
At first I just cranked the large "Wing-Nut" as tight as I could with my fingers. Then I resorted to using a pair of plyers and tighten it as far as I dare without breaking off the "wings" and it still won't hold the screen. Sanus needs to use serrated teeth in order for the tilt mechanism to work correctly.
I've had to resort to wedging a piece of stiff foam in between the TV and the wall to keep the TV at the desired angle.
Spend your money elsewhere.
TV Wall mount [Posted on 2008-09-02]
We bought this mount for our 20" LG LCD for our bathroom. You can move it in so many different directions so you can see it from the entire room. I would recommend and I would buy another. Delivery was right on time.
Excellent TV Mount [Posted on 2008-09-25]
Take the bad reviews with a grain of salt. Maybe they got a defective product or something but this mount has been excellent for me. I have two of them, purchased months apart, and have no problems whatsoever. Very solid aluminum build, with the rare ability to adjust the tension with a knob rather than have to go track down tools. However it does come with Hex screws if you wanted to replace the knobs with something people can't adjust (say for a school or institution or the like). Mounted in a stud with the 2" Hex head bolts it comes with makes this mount extremely sturdy with no play at all. It certainly feels like it could hold more than 30 pounds even fully extended. However now it is only holding my 19" Philips LCD (17 lbs).
The tilt mechanism works perfect and will constantly hold at any angle. One side note that I discovered is that the washers (between the knobs and the receiving female threads) have square insets that must be lined up with the square parts of the receiving female threads in order to obtain a tight functional fit. This may have been the root of those that have problems with the tilt function.
With only the basics of handyman know-how this is a very easy install (find a stud, level, drill with a 3/16" bit, then use the supplied hex wrench to screw in the supplied screws). It does come with drywall anchors to mount without a stud but I would be careful about trying that, especially if a stud is accessible.
Quality product at a reasonable price [Posted on 2008-10-05]
This is my fourth Sanus product, their fit and finish is excellent, I would recommend Sanus to anyone looking to hang a flat panel monitor on the wall!
