Customer Reviews
"solid" best decribes it! 
2008-10-01
Just installed my new Samsung LN46A650 using this mount on to the Crate & Barrel Loop Media furniture. This mounting unit is very well built and solid. What's more is that it came with a whole bunch of bolts of varying lengths, plastic spacers and washers. Definitely a good product made by people who have pride in their product. The only thing I regret is not buying the fixed mount and saving $50. There is nothing wrong with the tilting mechanism, I just realized that I would not be using it, since the viewing angle of my Samsung is so wide.
My one question to the other owners of this mounting unit is "did you guys use the plastic spacers or not?" I used it because I didn't want the back of my TV damages by the vertical hooks. The spacers were nice but I was also thinking does it prevent the bolts from not screwing into the TV far enough? I may be just being paranoid.
Great sturdy mount 2008-09-22
I also bought this mount based on the reviews and couldn't be happier. I have a 50" flat screen and the mounting brackets fit to it with no problem. This is a lot cheaper than the mounts at Best Buy. Best price and great quality. I definitely recommend this mount.
Easier to install and reasonable price 2008-08-10
Reasonable price and easy to install. Except to lift the big screen TV and hang it, one person can do the installation easily. Moderate price, delivered on time and liked it. Thanks to Amazon.
Flat Screen TV Wall Mount 2008-06-29
This mounting bracket was very easy to install and I love it!!!!!!! I recommend it to anyone who needs one this big.
Sturdy and easy to use, baby 2008-06-27
This is my first HDTV wall mount. I am using it with a Samsung 52 inch LCD display. The product is surprisingly easy to assemble and use.
First you need to use a stud finder to locate a suitable mounting position. Then, using two people, hold up the back piece and mark the four holes to be drilled. A socket wrench or similar tool is needed to install the bolts into the wall (they're bolts, not screws).
Once the wall piece is in place, you just screw on the two tilting pieces to the back of the HDTV. PDR includes a wide variety of screws, so you should be set with just about any flat-screen HDTV. Then you lift the HDTV up and hook the tilting pieces onto the back piece, insert the lock bar behind it, and you're pretty much done.
I found the default tilt to be fine, but it's not that hard to loosen the knobs and set a better position. I admit that upward tilting would be a nice feature, but its absence is no great loss. Once installed, the HDTV can we adjusted laterally to a certain extent (i.e. sliding it left or right), but I prefer to keep mine fairly centered.
This is a great, sturby product. I called PDR's customer service with a rebate question and they were extremely helpful.
Satisfied 2008-06-19
The PDR 4360A Heavy-Duty Articulating Mount provides a supremely mobile base for 43"-60" flat-panel televisions. It can extend a 175-pound television attached to its universal bracket up to 26" for a highly customizable viewing experience. The matte black powdercoat finish and slim 3.94" collapsed profile blend seamlessly into your TV. Anti-creep tension adjustment and heavy-duty steel construction ensure "never sag" stability. All necessary mounting hardware and instructions are included.
Excellent 2008-06-17
Installed the mount with there included hardware. No trips to Lowes to buy good bolts. They are in there. This thing is also super heavy duty. It ways almost as much as my LCD TV It worked perfectly with my 52" Samsung. Pull the trigger its worth it.
Heavy duty but with a downside 
2008-05-22
I bought the tilting version for a Sony XBR4 52 inch to install above my gas fireplace.
KNOBS: It was self installed with a friend which with simple instructions was easy enough. It was only when hanging the TV that I really wished I had a good view of how well the TV was seated on the base attached to the wall. So loosening the tilt knobs was necessary to get a good view and tilt it forward. Now unless you have child-like arms or special tools your not going to be able to get your arm in that 2-3 inch gap to retighten the knobs with the TV now obstructing you, thus requiring taking the TV down, tightening and hanging again. For added fun, the knobs rear bolt is not seated in the metal so it requires, one hand to hold the back of the knob bolt and one to turn the front. If I was hanging from the ceiling like Mission Impossible I could have got a better angle for the tightening. WOULD love for locking angles instead of adjustable knob twisting. I am a first-time TV installer so now I have a preference. For the average guy trying the install it's something to think about.
HOOKS: The mounting arms connected to the TV would be better in my opinion by not having "highly" rounded edges on the hooks. I know when tilted the weight of the TV and the theft bar on the bottom should keep it taught enough from falling off the wall mount base, but with the questionable knob tightening, its a hairy combination that leaves me less than confident the TV won't fall with a mild tremor.
Get a good stud finder. The Black & Decker Wal-mart edition for 10 bucks was almost useless and would beep constantly even over obviously unstudded areas. Maybe something to do with the fireplace perhaps.
Overall I'm just happy enough, lazy enough or cheap enough not to have another mount shipped and give it another try.
As advertised, heavy duty 2008-05-12
If you have a stud finder and a drill, this is an easy installation. If not, I highly recommend pilot holes to ensure you mount this to a stud. All told, I used this to mount a 52" LCD and it has worked well. It is close to the wall but leaves just enough space so that HDMI or other connecting cords fit properly. Depending on TV size, there is some flexibility in lateral placement to help make sure everything is centered just right. As mentioned by many others, you will almost certainly want/need two people to lift the TV onto the mounted bracket. The best thing I can say about this product is that if I ever buy another flat panel, I will also buy one of these mounts. I know it is sturdy, stable, well-constructed, and simple.
Good mount 2008-05-12
Mount was heavy duty and easy to put up. Had some problems attaching to the back of my tv, but customer service was helpful for finding attachment sites on the back of my panasonic plasma. Love the locking bar in the back to deter theft.
