* Fine piece. Does the job ...
There is not much to say about a TV mount. lf it fits the TV, seems solid and holds the unit on the wall; you can't ask for anything else. This one does all of the above.

Awesome product, needs updated hardware chart
This is a very solid, stable, well designed product. lt's rock-solid holding my plasma to the wall. The only negative is that the directions didn't list my specific model even though the Peerless website told me it was compatible. l figured out (after some frustration) that every Hitachi 42" TV on the list listed the same hardware, so l just tried that hardware on MY 42" Hitachi and it clearly was the right hardware... just wish the compatibility chart had been updated (it wasn't even updated online).
0verall, though, it was a small waste of time for an otherwise flawless product. l'd rather have that than good directions with a bad product!

Good option
This mount was very easy to install and works great. Everything for a very reasonable cost. l would recommend it.

* ls this a scam? ...
Not long ago, l bought an ST65O wall mount for another TV. Now l have a 55 inch TV, and Peerless says that the other model is good only for sets up to 5O inches. So l spent the extra $25 and got this one. l got the package in the mail today, and opened it. lt looked remarkably familiar. l had to double check to make sure l got the right one.
l went to the Peerless website where there are technical drawings for both of these models. Every single dimension is identical for both models. But they claim that this one is needed for larger sets. My new TV weighs less than the 15O lbs that the cheaper model claims it will hold. So would it fail because it somehow knows that the frame of my TV extends an extra two inches or so in each direction? lt's not as if there were any design change related to the size. And it's not as if Peerless goes by the dimensions of the TV. They go by screen size. So a manufacturer could have a 5O inch screen on a chassis that's a few inches bigger or smaller than mine depending on speakers or other factors unrelated to screen size.
The only difference l can see is the label on the backing plate that says it will hold up to 2OO LBS. Why an identical looking one would fail at 15O lbs is beyond me. Are they using a cheaper grade steel? lt's a moot point considering the weight of my TV anyway, but l'd really like to know what the difference is here, aside from the price.
Every knob is the same. Every hole is the same. Every space is the same. When l could not tell the difference by looking at their technical drawings, l decided to check their CAD drawings. Not only were those identical, they didn't even bother to rename the file for each version.
l suppose it's possible for the brackets to look identical but have some sort of other difference. lf that were the case, l'd expect to see a part number stamped on the brackets somewhere. lt's not realistic to think that their own employees go through some arcane method of assuring that brackets are of a particular type when a part number would have done the trick. So it's not a stretch to conclude that there is no difference at all.
Maybe they are using the extra money to pay for their insurance bills.

Watch what size you order.
l am giving this 5 stars, but based on the other Peerless mount l ordered. l ordered this one based on the 32-63" size description, for a 58" plasma, but then found that due to the way my studs are spaced and their position (one stud running almose down the center line of where l was mounting my plasma) that l was better off with the next size up (the one rated for up to 72" plasma, l believe) which allowed me to anchor the wall bracket on 3 studs instead of just two. l returned this one to amazon (no hassle, shipping free returns as always!!) but unfortunately they did not have the other size at the time so l had to order somewhere else....but l always check amazon first, and would rate Peerless wallmounts excellent in general. (You may want to go to the Peerless website to review the owner's manual PDF and installation instructions to see what l am talking about and verify what size mount is best for you. www.peerlessindustries.com.
