I used this mount to attach a 42" Panasonic plasma TV to a small space near the ceiling. I'd estimate the weight of the TV was about 70 lbs. which is well below the stated 180 lb. capacity of the mount. The configuration of the space made it necessary that I be able to pull the TV about 15 inches away from the wall. I also wanted to be able to push the TV back into this space when it was not in use so this mount looked like an ideal choice.
The pros:
1. Easy to mount with lots of holes so it's not difficult to sink the lags screws into the studs.
2. Lots of included hardware made attaching the TV to the "mounting arms" a snap. Lag screws are also included to attach mount to the wall.
3. Great range - Mount can be moved about 1.5 feet from the wall.
4. Low cost when compared to similar items
5. Once mounted, it's easy to swing the TV into the direction desired.
The cons: Mainly one, but it may be a big issue with some people. Cons #2 & #3 are really not a big deal.
1. The whole object of this mount is to be able to pull it out and away from the wall. However, when you do this, the mount will sag. I screwed the frame level to the wall, but had to use trial and error to adjust the mounting arms (that attach to the back of the TV) so that the TV was level when it was pulled away from the wall for viewing. To do this one of the "mounting arms" was attached to the TV several inches below the other arm. Now when I pull the TV away from the wall it looks great, but when I push it back into its space closer to the wall it hangs at a slight angle. Not a huge deal, but if you're a bit anal retentive about stuff like this you may want to purchase a more expensive mount.
2. The set screws used to hold the TV in place after mounting don't seem very sturdy. I think they are OK, but this feature could be improved.
3. The top of the TV also tilted slightly away from the wall (and the bottom was tilted inward) due to the sagging. This was a benefit for me because I mounted the TV up near the ceiling and as a result I did not have to tilt the TV anymore using the adjustable swivels on the "mounting arms". Should not pose a problem to most users since you can tilt the TV in either direction.
I think this mount would work between with a lighter TV maybe in the 40 lb. range, but this is just a guess.
