The VM2 flat-panel VisionMount wallmount arm from Sanus Systems is ideal for mounting flat-panel LCD TVs, plasma TVs, and computer monitors to your wall, ceiling, or cabinets--at home or in the office. The VM2's extruded-aluminum design complements the high-tech look and feel of modern flat-panel displays. The device uses the VESA 75 mm and 100 mm mounting standard and will support up to 30 pounds. The arm incorporates Sanus' SmoothLock (patent-pending) adjustment mechanism, which ensures precise-tension adjustments for tilt and swivel angles so the joints won't loosen with use. With the simple twist of a knob, you be able to set tension and later change the viewing angle without having to re-tighten the tension setting. (Competing designs require tools for adjustments, and many loosen with repeated use.) The affordable mount also uses Sanus' Virtual Axis (patent pending) tilt mechanism. Virtual Axis is a smooth, one-finger tilt system that requires no tools or adjustment to change the angle. What's in the Box Wall-mount arm, mounting hardware, and a user's manual.

Great unit for mounting an LCD TV. About half the price of other heavier units available. It's lighter weight made it easier to install and adjust. No problems with sagging or anything. The only dislike is Hexhead 3" brass screws. Soft metal, hard to find a bit for a drill that is hex. Suggest you buy a couple of heavy philips head wall wood screws to mount to the stud. Other than that its all good.

I purchased this unit and found it easy to mount and install (make sure you are screwing into something solid; the arm is fixed, so the TV will always be 6 inches away from the base). However, the tilt feature is useless and I couldn't get the screw to hold so the TV, a 26 inch Sharp HDTV, is tilted all the way so the bottom is against the wall. I will be returning this and getting a flat mount.

Holds LCD TV okay. To get it to keep from tilting down I had to tighten with a pair of pliers. My TV is close to the maximum weight specification.

to echo a few of the comments here, this arm is not really meant to handle "up 30 pounds" as it's specs claim. it's perfectly safe and the nickel bars are solid, but the flaw is the final joint (the tilt joint) that connects to the vesa mount plate. it is woefully inadequate supporting my 27 pound, 26" w/ DVD sharp flatscreen. there was no way i could tighten the thumb knob sufficiently with my hand alone, and the display would just tilt all the way down, facing the floor. i had to go to home depot and pick up a special torque wrench to finally get it to settle, and i'm still not too confident with it. also, it did not come with the proper sized screws to attach the vesa mount on my display, leading to another purchase for the screws.

this item arrived quickly and at a much better price than local department/discount stores offered
