EasyMount EZLCDM-02 Mid-Tilt LCD/Plasma Mount for 26" to 42" Screens

EasyMount's EZLCDM-02 LCD/plasma mount is the easiest, safest way to mount your screen to the wall. This mount is designed for larger LCD screens and smaller plasma screens. The two-piece design was created so that mounting your larger screen is no longer a challenge. Offering smooth and wide lateral movement, this mount also gives you a wide tilt range with the easiest adjustment out there. This mount also offers dual locking clips that do not allow your screen to 'accidentally' come off the mount, and you can place locks on to secure your investment. The mounts combine design, function, and stability for years of enjoyment. The integrated cord management system eliminates unsightly cords and allows you to keep safely and securely your cords in place.

This was used to mount my 37" LCD in the living room. Worked great. It is easy to mount Because the mount is placed on the wall and then a bracket mounts to the TV. Then you can connect all the cables and after everything is tested working lift the TV and it clips onto the wall. Very securely I might add. The kit comes with several anchors for mounting into all types of surfaces. As well as all the needed hardware for about any TV imaginagle. When I was done I must have had 2 pounds of extra hardware left over. The only minus I can think of is that there is no ability to tilt the TV right or left. Not really necessary with an LCD, but it would be nice to be able to move it to the optimal viewing angle.

I mounted a 42" Westinghouse LCD monitor with this hardware. I gave this product three stars because it is easy to install due to the built-in bubble level and the included adapters that support a variety of flat panel TVs. Also like the tilt adjustment as well. I would have given this a four or five rating if EasyMount had included the right wall screws. The kit includes six #14 phillips lag bolts to secure the wall mounting plate to the wall. Four of these need to be screwed into two wood studs in the wall. It is easy to strip the heads of the supplied screws when trying to get them in all the way - it takes a great deal of force to screw these into the studs. I purchased phillips hex head wood screws to replace the supplied screws. The phillips hex head wood screws can be started with a phillips screw driver and tightened with a socket wrench - a much easier and less frustrating process. Also don't forget the stud finder. I used the Zircon i65- StudSensor as it locates the center of the stud and can also sense for live electrical wires. Most finders only find the edge of the stud.

This is a good mounting system. The two piece design is well thought out and makes it easy to put together. The only downside is the stated range... I have a 42" Plasma, and if I would recommend buying the larger EZ mount, since with the 26-42 model, you need to put on the additional wider brackets if your TV is 42". They provide everything, and it works, but the larger model would have been cleaner to put together. In any event, if you have a 26 to 37, this is a good choice.
