Customer Review: Does the job, but I'm disappointed with the end result
I just installed this wall mount for use with a 42" Philips plasma screen TV. As you can see from the picture, the mount basically consists of two plates connected by an articulating arm, which provides the swivel action. The TV is secured to the larger of the two plates via the supplied brackets, which provide the tilt action. The mount itself comes pre-assembled and thus requires only installation onto the wall; similarly, the brackets are also pre-assembled (with the exception of a pair of adjustment knobs for the tilt mechanism which for some reason are not mentioned at all in the installation instructions), and need only be screwed into the back of the TV. Despite some headaches presented by the construction of my wall (I rent an apartment in an old building in Brooklyn where there is apparently an inch-and-a-half of plaster overlying drywall and studs), I was able to install the smaller plate into the wall using some cheap-but-sturdy toggler anchors from the local hardware store, without a problem. Where I did run into a problem was when I mounted the TV to the larger of the two plates. Basically, though the mount seems solidly constructed and holds up just fine, it seems as though the articulating arm isn't strong enough at the joint, which causes a distinct and noticeable (about 3-5 degrees or so) right-sided droop to the TV; this despite the fact that the smaller plate affixed to the wall is perfectly level. Now, given that the mount is rated for TVs up to 55", I don't think my 42" TV is outside of its reported weight range. So, given that the wall plate is level, and eliminating the weight of the TV as the source of the problem, I can only chalk it up to a design or manufacturing defect. Now, the droop makes the whole thing look kind of sloppy, though in truth it doesn't really affect the viewing experience all that much; it's slight enough so that you don't notice it at all once you're engrossed in whatever it is you're watching. And this is definitely the cheapest tilt-and-swivel mount I've been able to find, which offsets a little bit of my disappointment. In sum, I'd say I'm satisfied enough that I won't bother to go through the hassle of trying to return it, but if I were to do it all over again I might have saved up for a slightly more expensive model from a different manufacturer.
Customer Review: Small Price BIG VALUE
Our HP 42 inch LCD Media Smart TV was installed using the "MountsPro Tilting & Articulating Arm Universa LCD/Plasma Wall Mount Bracket. We used it inside an Armoire and we are 100% PLUS HAPPY with this mount. At C.C chain store it was, and I kid not, $500. Thia arm is well made, easy to use and smooth operating at any confrigulation. I had a friend install it and he had no problems. I can not review a wall mount at this time but we plan to move and will purchase another MountsPro by CHEETAH MOUNTS. Thank you Cheetah for the great product at a great value.

You don't always want to have to go to the cinema to see a movie in an excellent audio and video setup. Sometimes a home theater system is the best way to do this and the installation of that system need not be a very complex process. Quite a few people prefer to undertake their home theater installation themselves but most will call in some kind of professional service. In both cases there is plenty of information to be found online to help you with the best installation method. Your basic method should look something like this: planning, planning, planning, execution and testing.

Planning is the most important part of the installation process and, as such, will take up a large portion of this article. Whether you do it yourself or call a professional, figuring out the plasma or LCD screen placement is the first step you need to take. This includes where the home theater system will go, how the main viewing or seating arrangement will be placed around it and what kind of changes may need to be made to the rest of the room. Lighting is key in this respect, as it may involve putting up blinds or shades if you have a very sunny room, or adding backlighting or soft lighting around the screen area to avoid strain on the eyes.

This first stage of the process, planning, also involves figuring out the home theater setup around the power outlets in the room. You should have at least two power outlets that you can use for the various components of the theatre and use plenty of power strips to protect your equipment.

It is also an idea to plan out where you want the wires to go in order to be 'hidden' - over bare floors or carpeting is not a very wise strategy. It is more advisable to lay them out against the baseboard of your walls. Use plastic strips or ties to keep them neatly organized and avoid the 'snake's den' that often occurs after a week or two. Another good idea is to color code the wires using colored stickers and noting down the details on paper for later reference.

You also need to plan where and how the home theater system is actually going to be installed. Will you use a television trolley or wall brackets? Over the fireplace or on another wall? How high or low, and angled or straight on? Can the wires be hidden in the kind of installation you're doing? You also need to consider whether you have brick, stone, cement or dry walls and whether they can support the weight of a home theater system (including speakers if you're mounting them).

Finally, once you have thought through all the various logistical and aesthetic issues, you are ready to install. Your best bet is to call in a professional installer, ideally one recommended by a trusted friend or family member. The installer can then help you calibrate your audio and video for the best results. If, however, you want to undertake your home theater installation yourself then it would be a good idea to read up extensively on it and also call in someone you know who has already been through the process. Happy viewing!
