Electronics : Allcam PLB109M Universal 32-50" LCD/Plasma TV Wall Mount Bracket Philips Swivel & Tilt
Rating: 
- Amazed by how good this product is
This bracket is awesome... I was a bit concerned that, due to the age of my house and its brickwork, the walls wouldn't support this bracket, let alone the TV. BUT IT'S BRILLIANT! I have yet to put my TV onto it but I have tested it with my own weight and its as sturdy as any other bracket i've looked at.
Bear in mind that it is not a 'low profile bracket' as when it's fully retracted to the wall its depth is approx 10cm, plus the TV depth. But the mobility of the bracket makes up for its depth.
DEFINATELY RECOMMENDED
Rating: - Great value but consider upgrading
I read the earlier reviews and decided to buy this item. It was as good as the reviews suggests for the price. I had no issues setting it up as it had clear instructions. My only wobble was when the bolts provided for my 40 inch Sony Bravia were either too small or too big for the screws in the TV. I eventually worked out that you need to use the plastic black buffer things together with the longer screw to secure it.
One negative. I find that if I rotate the swivel closest to the TV away from it's perpendicular position (T shape) the TV slants down slightly. You can see that the bracket is feeling the weight of the TV and I wonder if I had gone for a more heavy duty bracket (just 15 pound more) would I still have this problem. In hindsight I would have paid the extra for the 40-70 inch bracket.
Rating: - Excellent
I've a 40" Sony Bravia LCD and wanted a swivel arm to hold this big LCD (23kg) at 90 degrees to the wall when in use, flush to the wall when not. So, it needed to be strong. In summary, the bracket is a good product and can swivel, tilt, moves well and is strong. In use, I can obtain the ideal watching angle which is amazing! Recommended product - why spend double or triple this amount when bought in store!
My experience in fitting my first TV arm to a wall: the back plate of the arm which goes flush with the wall is fairly wide (48cm) though was not wide enough to meet the demands of the wall I wanted to place this product on....upon drilling pilot holes, I found 1 vertical stud, though the next ones, left and right, were 61cm away so I could not place this arm on this wall....So, plan B was to find another wall and I found brick so I drilled 6 holes which only 4 were good. Putting up the arm and even with 4 of the 6 bolts secure, the arm was extremely strong having tested it with enough force.
The arm comes with lots of bolts and screws for different walls and different TVs, which was welcome. The set of bolts for my T V which fixes the back of the TV to the swivel unit were tiny (perhaps this was the norm with this VESA type?) so there were only a few revolutions to secure it. I hope this isn't the weak link in the chain.
In movement the arm has some tension which is good because you wouldn't want your TV swinging about! It stays where I want it which is tilted slightly down and when in use about 90degrees to the wall, although at 90 degrees the back plate is visible when watching the TV (the plate is black and I have white walls) so I bring the arm forward to hide the back plate.
When not in use, I push the arm flush to the wall. Sure, its not flush, but to get a TV flush another solution would be required which would probably mean preparing a big hole in the wall and sitting the arm within it (may be poss?) though I'm happy with this product.
Rating: - Safe Heavyweight Bracket
This is a solid piece of kit and if you have any doubts about hanging a heavy TV on a wall this will do the job.
Compared to other small slimline brackets this is a giant but it is hidden and the strong construction gives great peace of mind.
My house has walls of the softer Thermolite blocks and I decided I needed a larger wall plate to spread the load and this has a really large steel wall plate. It comes with 6 large wall bolts and large wall plugs but you can use more bolts if your walls are a problem.
It weighs over 11kgs (almost as much as the TV !)and has a 60kgs limit so if you have a medium TV now you probably will not have to buy another bracket if you upgrade later to something larger when the TV prices fall.
Having looked at many brackets I could not find a better bracket and many other websites have this one as their best seller - but at higher prices.
Recommended without no reservations.
Rating: - Great value flexible wall mount
This is a bargain. I looked at a number of other options, usually around £250 and I am glad I risked going for this without being able to look at it first.
It is easy to put up, all the fittings are provided and I think it would support about 3 or 4 TV's without trouble. I have a 37" Samsung and it is fine.
It does look a bit industrial compared to the more expensive units but as you don't see it behind the TV who cares?
One useful point is that, if your DIY is as bad as mine and your house is as old, you will be grateful for the number of different places you can place a screw through the wall plate - enough for mistakes plus additional 'if this falls off my wife will kill me' screws/bolts.
