green, cheapest I've seen a wall mount that supports that much weight. And fatwallet really should rename their site, I've spent more money in the past 2 months because of this site, than in the past 2 years combined, and I'm being completely 100% serious. Anyways, thanks OP, and "suck the life out of me"-wallet.
shipping is ~$12 I am not buying becoz currently i am broke due to Fatwalletindicating price $26.46 + shipping on title would help.
Adjustable Wall Mount Bracket for LCD Plasma (Max 165Lbs, 30~63inch).
i wouldn't use this bracket for any tv larger than 46 inches because my 50 inch sony plasma weights about 150 lbs. i'm afraid it won't hold.

I'm interested in this as well. Do they have to be set on the studs in the wall?
The new TV that's coming my way is 122 lbs. I don't want to risk the TV obviously, can I trust this mount? Who manufactures it?

My 50" plasma is only 115 lbs. So, it will work on some 50s. Anyone interested, just make sure you check the weight of your plasma before buying this mount. Looks like a good deal though.

the price is good. HOWEVER, it takes forever to make the tilt adjustment. You see two screws need at back of the arm? you will need to turn about 50 circles before you get the right position.

I don't see that you can adjust this. If your wall studs aren't centered then your TV won't be centered, unless the wall mount slides. Anybody know?

Good Lord, what brand did you buy? The heaviest one I found was 108 lbs.

From the photo it looks like you'll have no problem getting it in studs. It clearly can slide around an inch each way, with holes every inch or so.
And to the previous person that asked about studs; YES YES YES. Don't even try to put this into the drywall, it'll rip the whole section of drywall down, most likely killing your plasma or LCD.
You'll need to use long, heavy screws for this.
To be honest, unless you know what you are doing, I'd leave this to a professional. The damage to your house and TV could run in the thousands if you screw up.

I wish i could have gotten this but i can't afford to wait another a week for this thing to arrive. And i've already brought the expensive $95 peerless mount from costco; they don't have the $50 mount I saw online instore. What's the best way to find a stud, using a stud finder. Thanks.
165lbs. is the maximum supported weight. That doesnt mean that it will break once it reaches 165lbs. Companies list the max supported weight at what you can actually use it for. Id guess that youd have to put at least 200lbs+ before this thing gives out.

Thanks OP in 4 2.
This is for the 2 32" LCDs that I got from Home Depot. Cheap LCD's and cheap mounts.
2 32" LCD @ $420 each =$840 2 Wallmounts @ $25.14 each =$50.28 Sh&Handling =$12.09 __________________________________ total =$902.37
Is this really a sell price? It is a good price and appears to be their everyday price.
Ok, if you go with a wall mount, where do all the wires go? Do you simply just add electrical boxes behind the TV and run them inside the wall to the floor below?

Just make sure the professional knows what s/he is doing. There's a lot of chatter on the net about scary professionals that hide the power cord inside the drywall. Should only run conduit, romex, or whatever is code for your area behind the drywall.

I went to home depot, bought a $60 top of the line stud finder, and did it with a friend. Its not very hard as long as you have some general knowledge of what it is youre doing.
Since I was hanging something that costs over $1000, I wanted to be sure...
I used a stud finder to get me close, then started pushing a very thin nail through the sheetrock. The nail should pierce the sheetrock and bottom out on the stud. Move the nail about 1/4" at a time to the left until the nail is no longer blocked by the stud. Then repeat the process to the right. This will tell you precisely where the stud ends on either side, so you can drill dead-center into the stud with confidence.
I bought this mount for my 42" panasonic and it would not fit it! So panasonic users beware you'll be wasting your money. I know the specs. say up to a 63" but not true for panasonic tv's the mounting spread on the back of the tv is allot larger then this mounting plate goes.

Also, guys, to center the TV if Studs don't help, you also mount smalled stud piece(8ft for around $2 in HD or Lowes) across over the wall and screw them tight fit to wall stud using 3inch screws or more. Then put the mounts on them. This was you can make it span more studs for extra strength and security. With a lil creativity u can also then hide the studs (if found ugly.). Better mount it safe than make it a dangerous and costly....especially in SF bay area where earthquake tremors are felt often.

The heaviest one I found was 108 lbs.oops, it's about 117lbs, but it felt like more than 150lbs when i tried to help hubby put on top of our bell'o stand. we bought the sony KDE-50XBR950 model at fry's last year @ less than $5k when they were clearing them out. it was way heavy for me so we got my BIL helped and we still needed a third person.
oh, our bell'o stand was clearance too at fry's. we paid $375 (in box) including tax for it.

Agreed, plus you would need some kind of protractor device to measure the angle and make sure both are at the same angle since they are adjusted INDEPENDENTLY or else you're going to stress and crack the chassis of the plasma.
I'm waiting for this one to go on sale, both of the mounting arms on this one are connected and adjust together at the same time which won't cause sheering of the chassis.

I'm tempted to buy a couple for future LCD purchases. I don't have any LCD/Plasmas right now, but at least I will be ready when the LCD/Plasma ferries come drop a couple off at my house.

Good idea, but try this for a more attractive approach...
1- Take a piece of 1" thick plywood and cut it a little larger than your tv on all sides. 2- Mount it to your wall using screws and a stud finder. Screw it into a good amount of studs (12-16 screws) but predrill with a countersink so the screws are recessed. 3- Wood fill the holes, sand the plywood and paint it the same color as the wall or an accent color. 4- Screw the wall mount anywhere you want on the plywood.
The plywood is held in to the studs, the wall mount into the plywood and the tv on the mount.
This is the safest way to do it.
You can even trim out the border of the plywood with some moulding, but I would use 3/4 plywood than. Nothing smaller than 3/4 please!
Home Depot will even cut the plywood to size for you.
Plywood - $12 Countersink bit for drill - $5 Molding (optional) - $20 Sandpaper - $1 Paint - $5
$43 for a sweet looking mount!

Try any of these places for good LCD/Plasma mounts at a good price.
MountDirect.com
MountsandMore.com
MountZilla.com
AVmountsonline.com
Or just Google for a couple of dozen more. Just got a nice flush mount for my 42 inch plasma and they threw in a free HDMI 15 ft cable for free and free shipping (may be a one day deal on the shipping) at MountsDirect.com for $69. Saw the same mount at 3 other places for $100+.

$64 delivered for a non tilt Peerless brand from Buy.com with google checkout. The mono price looks ok but is a no name brand. Get what you pay for? maybe lucky and works OK as is but the larger the TV the more I wouldn't trust a no name brand. You just spend how much on your TV and now want to save $20 ~ $30? HERE
Name brand mounts should support 4x the rated weight. This should cover the smaller and bigger tv's for several years.

Usually you can have the mount off center since your TV will cover it anyways. My last mount did slide about 6+" each way. They are designed with that in mind.

Does anyone recommend doing this to an apartment or rental home? Are the holes easy to cover up? I am interested to know too - I am in same boat.
I just purchased the wall-mount (about $39.00 shipped) which holds 165lbs for my MAXENT 50" Plasma TV from Costco.
I ended up using better screws from Home Depot to anchor the plate down in 4 places on the stud. I had a stud finder but it kept on giving me bogus readings. So I ended up using the Tapping on the wall, Nail & hammer technique and found the exact center of the stud each time. There are a lot of tiny holes on the wall but it doesn't matter since the mounting plate covers it all. It worked perfect.
It was scary at 1st and I didn't want to let go of the plasma when we put it up on the wall but it held in place surprisingly very well.
I didn't like the butterfly screws to tilt the TV. Both sides had to be adjusted 30 revolutions at the same time to avoid stressing the TV frame & possibly cracking the screen. Two people for sure, otherwise you'll be going back and forth many times.
In the end we had 3 people to put this up and about 1.5 hrs to finish it all.
Tools Required: Cordless Drill Drill Bits Hammer Skinny 1 or 2 inch nail Socket set incase your drill sucks like mine "RYOBI" PENCIL (to mark the walls) Leveler Optional: Long straight ruler (To help mark area on wall with leveler) Philips Screwdriver (to reach through the side to tighten the screws) 2 - 3 people
