Outstanding choice, simple, strong reasonable price.
I installed it on a 40″ Samsung LN40A630 LCD panel. Make sure you spend the difference on an accurate stud finder so that you hit the stud properly. You may also also want to purchase two stainless #14 x 2-1/2″ flat head wood screws, the ones in the kit are a touch soft and round out easily.
This is a solid, well-made product. It comes with everything you MIGHT need including an adapter plate, spacers, and various screws. Since I was only mounting a 32″ Westinghouse LCD television that had standard mounting holes on the back my installation didn’t require the extra stuff. The 32″ TV I mounted weighs about 32 pounds after its table mount is removed, so this wall-mount handles it effortlessly.
Keep in mind that this is an folding, jointed device, so you will need to mount it to the wall (in a stud) off-center if you want it to fold flat against the wall and be centered. Of course if you want to keep your TV sticking out from the wall permanently then center it. Be sure to measure for your own needs. Here is a link to a pic with the dimensions:

So, do I recommend this product? Absolutely!
I was a little skeptical of this product because when I viewed the exact model from peerless.com it was $220. But I used the tables on peerless.com to tell me which model would work for my TV – I have a 40″ Samsung, 40lbs – and it said this one, among many others, would do. I ordered, it came fast, and it’s perfect. It was a new product, fully boxed, had all the parts, and great directions. I was certainly worried about hanging a (expensive) TV on the wall, but not after putting this mount in – not only was it very easy to install but it is VERY heavy duty. It works like a charm – moving up, down, left, right, close to the wall, far from the wall.
Ultimately, it works beautifully and I saved over $150! Way to go Amazon.
