I ignored DaveG's review and was sorry I did! Even during installation I thought it was a good product. BUT it was exactly as DaveG said, it would not hold my LCD TV up or down. The mount allows movement of about 90 degrees but would only stay in half of that range. The right-left rotation was fine. My TV was just 9 lb and the mount is rated for 15 lbs. Also I had to buy longer screws to attach the TV.
It is possible to use this -- if you just HAVE TO have a under cabinet mount -- simply use a long screw with a wingnut to hold it in a fixed position. Likewise, you could hold it up by attaching a spring. Of course with this rigging you couldn't raise or lower it without a hassle.
I finally put the TV back on the stand that it came with and left it on the countertop. Flipping it up and down would have been cool but this is not the product to do it with.
I sent it back to Amazon for a refund and now I have to cover up the holes I made in the kitchen cabinet.

The review by DaveG "hits the nail on the head". This is a very poorly designed poduct and, after much work installing the product and tightening the tension screw TO NO AVAIL, I am contacting Sanus for a return and full refund.
I believe Sanus generally makes quality equipment but not so in this case.

This product may be appropriate if you have a VERY light TV, but it will not keep even a moderate weight LCD in the up position. To add to the problem, the design is such that when the TV "sags" down, it also slides backward, causing it to drop very hard.
First, I'll explain the problem in function, then the DANGER in trying to use this product.
I tried to use it to support a 15" Toshiba. The weight as mounted was 12 pounds. The product says it can be used for TV's up to 18 pounds. The TV would not stay either up or down. It would just hang in a position about halfway in between. The adjustment for this is a set screw which is supposed to increase the friction of the mnount so that it will hold the TV. The set screw is turned by a provided hex wrench. I turned this wrench as hard as I could, but got very little movement of the screw and no improvement in product performance. I then took the mount down, took it to my workbench, and tightened the screw to the full limit of it's
