I read somewhere that if you are standing up, the top of the TV needs to be at eye level and if you are sitting down, the bottom frame of the TV needs to be at eye level. That said, I have options on my mount to swivel & tilt it a bit for minor adjustment. I have had it mounted this way for a couple months now without any neck aches. :)

It's a matter of personal preference, really. I mounted our 52" HDTV so that the midline of the screen was at eye level while sitting, this makes for a very comfortable viewing experience. However, when standing the screen is much lower than it should be, for acceptable viewing. So if I keep an eye on the news or weather, while I walk around the house doing other things, it's much too low. I plan on raising it about a foot to see if that helps without detracting from the seated viewing experience too much.

Could you tell me how far away your 52" is from your seating arrangement? I'm told you need better than 12' for best viewing the 52". Thank you-gumbee5@yahoo.com

The size of the tv does not matter but what matters most is whether the hole of the two plates & the tv match. these holes are part of tv standards so you need to look up the samsung manual and also the installer parts manual. go to their site. you will get a pdf document. the last part is the weight of the tv. check to see if the weight is ok with the wall ( the studs mainly). if that is ok than you are fine. and you will have to install bang in the middle of the wall. not in the corner.regardsParag

Yeah, I waited for months and finally pulled the trigger when it was that low. It's back up to 2350.00 now. On the last post I meant to say it jumped from 2144.99 to 2299.99 not 2999.99. I didn't mount it but I have it on my dvd/boxset cabinet and thanks to its wide base and it being fairly light (especially for the size) it works well. There are tons of wall mounts out there but most just say fits any LCD 32"-50" or something like that. I have never mounted a tv so I wouldn't be able to help you but just google it and you should find recommendations.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question because we have ours hanging on a brick fireplace. We removed the wood fireplace mantle but, didn't remove the bricks that held the wood. We just pulled the TV out far enough that it would come up to the bricks. That way if we move we can take our TV & bracket with us and put the wood mantle back in place.

That's the plan :) it's sitting on the floor in the box still. I ordered a TV stand for my components, and it hasn't arrived yet. I want to have it sitting under the TV before I decide exactly how high to mount the articulating wall mount.

most wall mounts have a universal type design. the mounting holes are about 10 to 12 inches wide and 4 to 6 inches tall. generally youll want to find a mount that will support your overall size tv. for this tv a 28 to 36 inch mount should be perfect. hope this helps.

I have this wall mounted. Bottom of the TV is 34" off the ground. With a 5 degree tilt it is perfect for me.

My husband was able to raise ours up somewhat with what was there on our bedframe but I know a lot of people who have suggested mounting the headboard on the wall and they do this all the time on HGTV so you might try that to get it up higher. I am pleased with mine as it is comfortable while just relaxing or reading.

How high does the top of the screen end up being, in your case? Maybe a better technicalt question would be how high is the lowest set of mounting holes? Then I could measure from the top of my tv to the bottom set of holes on the TV to find the total mounting height.

Sure, I have it on the wall above the fireplace. Stardard Vesa mount and screws are supported (although not included as in any other TV on the market). Enjoy your new TV!

I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008. This is going to seem huge compared to my 13 inch tv that's hooked up now. I'm glad that it's getting really good reviews. Is it hard to set up? Can I do it on my own? What length is the base? I'm planning on putting it on the table that my other tv is currently on. Would all I have to do is plug it in and connect it to my cable just like my tv is now? I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008.

I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt. I originally used a bracket the was moveable, side to side-up and down. I did not feel it was secure enough because of the overall size of the TV itself. The solid mount works great for my needs as I really did not have any reason I needed to move the screen. In addition, if you go with anything but a flush mount the TV will be several inches away from the wall its mounted to too allow for clearance of the back of the swivel unit. Takes away from one of the TV best features in that its so thin. Good luck. I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt.

I would say yes, if the tv is not too big. It would be unbalanced and unattractive if too large. The top of the fireplace is roughly 3' wide, it is level and stable but mine is also leaning against the wall. It would not be too hot for the TV, I run mine not continually. It doesn't overheat the wall or the fireplace. I have a large, heavy mirror on mine, and framed pictures and some brass pieces. It is fine. holding its shape. hope this helps.

Sorry this took so long. This mount is good for any TV that has a screen size of 37" to 60". The mounting arrangement will work for any of these TV's. There is mounting hardware included to attach the mount to the four mounting holes on the back of the TV. The wall mount is fully adjustable to center your TV on the space you choose. You may even attach the wall mount centered on the studs in the wall and then mount the TV off center of the wall mount so you can position the TV where you want it. It has tilt forward adjustments. It also has a swivel adjustment so you can level the TV on the mount so it is Parallel to the floor or ceiling. Sorry this took so long.

I agree with the previous answer. It has been a great tv mount. Not obtrusive and very easy to install...Looks like any standard measurements work with this mount. Yours should be fine.

Joan, this mount is 45" wide, and the mounting brackets can accommodate 16" studs, or 24", or irregularly spaced studs up to 42." The holes on the back of the TV can be no further apart than the span of the mount (40" or closer would be safe), and no further from top to bottom than the length of the vertical brackets (and I don't know those dimensions, but they are usually easily spanned by the vertical brackets). I used one above a custom built fireplace where the studs were 41." It worked great.
