What you see pictured here on amazon is NOT what you'll get if you buy this product. I've not been able to track down who actually manufactures the tv mount pictured on the page, but it is definitely NOT the Premier SUT-3760 that's shown. If you want to see what you'll really get, google the Premier Mounts web page. It looks nothing like what's shown on amazon. That was my first suprise/disappointment. I guess the other is that I purchased the mount thru Real Home Theaters who I must say had "a" mount sent to me within a very short time at a great price--don't even think about wasting your money on a mount directly from the big box stores. They must make a killing on mark up. It is similar to what I found on the actual Premier Mounts web site, but not exact. It came in a plain white fedex box with no typical product box at all--there was no reference to the manufacturer. The instructions are fairly clear, but again without a mention of the manufacturer or product number anywhere

on them. It mounted easily to my plasma tv (panasonic) and to the wall. In fact, mounting is top notch and strong (your tv won't fall off if you do everything right) with all the necessary items-even lag screws to mount to the wall studs (not something included with my previous tv mounts). This product is similar in appearance to the peerless mounts and similar in design to most of the tilting mounts you'll see in the big box stores--just at a much better price thru Real Home Theaters (amazon was sold out). The product seems strong and works as well as advertised, and the price can't be beat. What I'm struck by though is the lack of packaging and absence of ANY identification on it. You can't even buy clothes that don't have 6" gaudy manufacturer's names all over them. In today's world you worry a little about being a bootleg, but I don't see any signs of poor craftsmanship or corners cut so perhaps they sell direct without all the identification to keep prices down? You would just think they would have their name on the instructions, an address or phone number or website printed somewhere, anywhere in case of questions or to buy another in the future. Maybe their sold in bulk directly to home theater installers and not meant for direct to the public? Not even a sticker on the wall mount. Just seemed weird to me. But once I was over the shock of receiving a mount that looked nothing like I expected, had no reference at all anywhere as to the manufactuere, I set it up and it works as advertised. Side to side motion for final positioning is limited to only a cople inches on my 50" and I would suspect there's hardly any latitude at all on a larger tv (and conversely much more on a smaller tv--I suspect this movement is not at all an engineered idea to allow you flexibility, but simply a result of the one size fits all design that happens to coincidentally allow some movement on tvs smaller than the maximum size), but it is nice to have a few inches of play right to left, at least to get it centered just perfect for those of us who are compulsive. So, in summary, it's strong, it mounts to my plasma tv as promised without a hitch, mounts to the wall with lots of flexibility for those who have to mount to pre-existing stud placement, and tilts smoothly. Just don't bee suprised when what you thought you would get isn't, and I just can't figure out why there isn't any mention of the manufacturer and certainly no way to contact them without a bit of googling first. Hmmm.
