Anyone try the new super-light Sharp Aquos 46" with this thing? This product holds tvs up to 40" and 80 lbs. The Sharp (LC46D64U) is 46", but it weighs only 54 lbs. Anyone try this or have any comments? There doesn't seem to be an articulating wall arm for anything over 40" that's even close to this price, so I'm hoping for the best...UPDATE -- I e-mailed peerless and got the following response, so I guess that answers that:Thank you for contacting Peerless. The SA740P or LMAM1940 which is coldat Costco is not rated for larger than a 40" screen. Mounting a largerscreen is not recommend and will void the warranty of the mount. Eventhough the screen weighs less than the max load, larger screensdistribute weight differently.Thank you,Frank OchoaWeb Support Coordinator Anyone try the new super-light Sharp Aquos 46" with this thing?

I'm still tempted to try with a Samsung 46 inch (LN46a650). The weight distribution comment frankly sounds bogus to me, and my choices for the corner mount challenge I have are frankly dwindling to this mount or getting a smaller set. Did you finally proceed?

was going to but peerless will not sell me adapter. my 46" new sharp only weighs 50.2 lbs only 2 more than the 37" it will replace. costco's new mounts have adapter links for other than vesa mounts. I can not understand why a 46" at 50.2 lbs. would distribute the weight differently. at 80 lbs capacity the mount should hold without sweat. I think they want me to buy a 50 lbs. mount for the 50 lbs. lcd......called super thin (at a price of $300 just so I feel better. I have considered going to the hardware store and getting the aluminum shelf mount u-channel and drilling it out to fit. I would guess they should hold. was going to but peerless will not sell me adapter. my 46" new sharp only weighs 50.2 lbs only 2 more than the 37" it will replace. costco's new mounts have adapter links for other than vesa mounts.

My experience with this mount is it does not support the advertised weight. My tv was 80lbs and it would not properly support it. 60 inches is over the advertised size. I would look for another option.

Sorry for the late response! Just saw this! Sweet TV! Amazon didn't show a pattern size in the ad. I would recommend a sturdy swivel and tilt mounting bracket for this set. It's plasma, so it's going to be heavier than an LED/LCD. Also, 3D TV's sometimes look better when you are directly in line with the screen, versus sitting at an off angle. The mount I bought would probably be a little too wimpy for a 70-lb plasma set. The best way to find out what will fit is to measure the mounting hole locations on the back of your TV set. Measure center-to-center on a pair of mounting spots, lined up horizontal and then a pair lined up vertical. The most common measurement used is in millimeters. If the TV mounts are in a square pattern, it might measure 400 x 400 mm. If a rectangle, it might measure 400 x 600. Usually, the box (or advertisement) will say "VESA compliant 400mm x 600mm." The mounting points are easy to find, look on the back of the set and look for 4 obvious large-headed screws (normally a Philips head pattern) or 4 large empty threaded holes. Those are your mounting points on the TV. Once you find them, measure the left and right distances, then the top and bottom. If you get a wonky number, like 317mm, one of the two points is wrong. Wall Mounts will support a variety of sizes. Knowing the X00mm x X00mm numbers on your set and the mount are key. Again, I would recommend a sturdy mount that telescopes, tilts and swivels. I see there is one just for your set, but it's $550! Yikes! You can get by just as well for under $75. That must be a misprint! Ha! If you shop local at the "blue" store, you are going to pay big dollars. Measure your mounting points and hit the Amazon site. Hope this helped!

Hi Blake. No, not really. I ordered it because I was going to get 40 and I ended up getting a 50. The edges of the TV extend beyond the sides of the stand, the glass seems to be bent in the middle under the weight of the TV (it's only a little, but it does bend). The overall construction material is pretty poor, it's made of very thin aluminum poles. It does *look* okay on its own. The claim that it can hold up to 70lbs is a bit misleading because while it probably can, mine weighs 50lbs and it's causing the bending I mentioned.

I have an older(46") sony flatscreen tv that weighs about the same. I bought and used this cheetah mount and it works wellmy tv has hung on the wall 5 months now.. Just make sure back plate is securely mounted to studs in wall and you will be alright. also use two people to mount tv to bracket as it will be much easier to do and safer also. Good luck!!!

I mounted my 51 inch Samsung to it. Holds fine at 48lbs. Can tilt screen using the ball and everything, as long as the nuts are tight in the back. No problems.

Greetings C.S.,I wasn't exactly sure therefore I decided to give a brief experiment to successfully answer your question. I myself am a 32 year old male (5'11" 190 pounds in stature) and after sitting on the TV stand (our TV is wall-mounted above it), the TV stand did not even budge, creek or show signs of weight stress.I would imagine this stand could hold any size TV with ease without damage or breaking. Obviously you cannot go jumbo-size on the TV since it totals precisely 46 5/8 in width, so measure your existing or new TV's width to ensure it fits property.I hope this helps.

I just ordered this through Vine, and plan on testing it with my Panasonic 42" which weighs 64lbs, so I will definitely report back. But according to another review there are plenty of extenders and hardware, so the mount should line up on 42" TV's. But I'll definitely let you know, as well as write a review.

I also have a ~50" rear projection tv (~250lbs, Toshiba) that I would like to swivel. Did anyone with such a heavy tv (not a flat panel) try this LapWorks 15" Heavy Duty Swivel? I would really appreciate your brief insight about the product's capabilities. Thanks!

I used this mounts in my office with 37" displays. Worked absolutely fine. Most of the new generation displays are not heavy at all. So I wouldn't worry about the weight limit, unless you are planning instal something old and heavy. The only thing I would worry is the distance at the back of the screen. You need to be sure that the screw holes on the mount will align with the display. I would try to use a larger size mount.

I bought mine (50" G25) for $991 Oct. 4. The 46" was $999. So I went with the larger one. And it is massive. Purchased from Amazon and delivery was amazing. They took it out of the box, attached its stand, lifted it to the TV stand, hooked up the cable and tested it. Even offered to dispose of the packing (which I kept just in case).

I had the same thought before I bought mine. I have three of these holding Panasonic plasma sets up to 55" and they're solid as a rock. As far as I could tell from the store displays, they're the same. They're all over-built. Just make sure you get them into a stud or something sturdy. If you have a failure, if probably won't be because of the mount. You get what you don't over-pay for.

hi, i have a similar size room, tried 26, 32 , and 37 inch. 32 is best. one thing not talked about often is, there's also a minimum viewing distance for these tvs, esp. 720p. any closer, you see the pixels, any noise in the image, etc. with a hq tv like samsung, sony, sharp, my experiments indicate for a 32" around 5 feet is about as close as i'd want to go. anything else, i'd have to go to 1080p (the sharp 32" aquos 1080p model is great up to 3 feet, but more $$). btw, right now you can pick up a samsung LN-T3242H at circuit city for $720 if you're a AAA member (you need to go to www.aaa.com/circuitcity to get a coupon code). this model is a level down from the 3253H but i picked one up yesterday and so far it seems pretty good to me. you can read about both models on amazon. good luck.

I installed a 50-inch Insignia NS-50D550NA15 LED TV that weighs 33.1 lb. onto the mount. It has only been up for a day, but appears stable - no sagging. Personally, I wouldn't go any larger.

Expect a box appropriate to handle a 46 inch television. I would tell you it is very light and easy to carry by anyone. No big deal. I had not purchased a flat screen in a few years and could not believe how thin and light this one is.

My 60 inch LG Plasma weighs 105 lbs, as long as you have lag bolts drilled into the studs it will hold any T.V, I drilled holes in the studs smaller then the screw portion of the lag bolts so the lag bolts wouldn't split the studs in the walls to keep the integrity of the stud.
