 One of the best wall mounts you can buy for LCD TV's up to 40"!Oct 12, 2007
By Dave L
This Sanus tilting wall mount is the smaller version of the non-tilting one I use on my $6,000 50" Fujitsu plasma TV. It has all the ruggedness and strength of its bigger sibling, lots of mounting hardware for both the wall mounting and TV mounting, and provisions for locking the TV to the wall.
Thick, heavy gauge steel that's finished with a nice black paint, a smooth up/down tilt track and positive screw-clutch mechanizm completes the package. Very good straight-ahead instructions are included, too.
There are multiple holes to mate to your TV threads. The two brackets attach independantly to each side of the back of the TV.
Getting the whole thing onto the wall mount is as easy as tilting the TV bottom out, hooking the tops of the brackets over the wall mount, rotating the TV bottom down and flipping the locking tabs in place.
Once you get the wall mount bolted to the wall and the two brackets on the TV, it takes about 30 seconds to get the TV secured to the wall, which is great because you don't want to have to fumble and fool around trying to get "your precious" secured to the wall.
When I was shopping for the 32" Samsung LCD TV that is going onto this mount, I looked at some of the wall mounts they had at the store, and they were pitiful little things by comparison. I headed right home and ordered this one from Amazon.
This is a great medium-size wall mount, highly recommended.

Solid, simple, excellent wall mountJan 22, 2008
By Tee Whitaker
I only wish I had opened this and put it up sooner. It arrived on a Tuesday and rather than installing it that night I waited until the weekend to open. Dumb move because it took all of 15 minutes to install. Measure, drill two holes and tighten bracket to wall with lag bolts (supplied), attach mounts to back of TV with machine screws (supplied) and hang on wall bracket. Couldn't be simpler and looks great holding my 32" Panasonic LCD just inches from the wall.

 It does the job...Dec 07, 2007
By Brand3n
I recently purchased this mount to go with a 23" Samsung LCD. I had purchased a different one previously, but it didn't fit my TV very well, so I returned it and got this one. First off, this mount is very sturdy. It fits tightly to the wall and has a fairly low profile, which is both good and bad, and the black paint looks pretty good. The bad news is that it doesn't offer much more than this. Though it came with several choices of nuts and bolts for different sized TV's, which was nice, installation was a bit of a hassle. Also, as I mentioned previously, the low profile can be a disadvantage at times, especially when you need to get the ports on the back of your TV. Another thing that I didn't like, was that the mounting bar that screws into the back of my LCD is a bit longer than it needs to be, causing it to obscure one of my component video ports. It's not to big of deal, since I wasn't using it anyhow, but if I was, I wouldn't be too happy about that. All in all, it's a solid sturdy wall mount that offers good strength for the price and tilt functionality, but little else.

Great Value for Flat Screen MountFeb 26, 2008
By J. Coleman
There are certainly a lot of different mounts for flat-screen televisions on the market and most seem very expensive. The MT25-B1 is one of the cheaper alternatives. It is a no-frills mount, to be sure. It offers about 7-8° of vertical tilt, up or down. It has a very low profile, which can make connections difficult on some televisions (I recommend having a photo or other image of the connections panel of your TV *before* mounting). However, the low-profile looks great once installed and despite the tight space behind the television is a key feature of this mount. The black powder coated metal is heavy gage and feels very substantial.
Installation is 2-3 connectors, most types of which are provided. We opted for two lag screws into a wood stud. This installation was simple and fast (about 20 minutes for something I had never done before). The mount is very sturdy with no movement in the television at all. The threaded knobs on each side keep the TV at the angle we place it at. The television brackets can even be padlocked to the wall mount for situations where security is needed.
The only drawback of this mount is that the connectors must be centered on the mount, limiting placement to where wall structural elements are located (that is, you can't really offset it laterally along your wall).
For reference, this mount is supporting a 40" Samsung LCD (LNT4053H).

Very nice wall mount.Feb 10, 2010
By R. Golden

I did quite a bit of shopping and reading reviews when it came to searching for a wall mount. My television is a 32" LCD, and while not the heaviest of televisions, with a weight of just under 25 pounds, I still wanted a sturdy mount. Some of the mounts available on the market just do not look very sturdy. This mount is as sturdy as it looks. It is rated for 100 pounds or less, and I can say without hesitation that I would be confident mounting a television of that weight with proper installation of the mount. The mount comes with all the necessary hardware to mount into a wooden stud (lag bolts), or into a masonry wall(lead inserts and bolts). It also provides the necessary spacers (2 sizes) to mount the brackets if your television has a contoured back, or you can mount them flush to a tv with a flat back. It also comes with a variety of bracket bolts to secure the brackets to the tv. Securing the wall plate to the wall was very simple, but be sure to take the time to level it. While the brackets do offer adjustment, it it much easier to level the wall plate than attempting to level with the brackets. (If you're a perfectionist like I am, a television mounted just off level can be quite an eyesore.) Hanging the tv onto the wall plate was easy, and it offers locking tabs for extra security that can be provided with a padlock (sold separately). Depending on your mounting pattern (I believe this mount accommodates every pattern except 200 x 800 or wider), the mount allows the tv to slide side to side to get the centering perfect. It also has stops on each side as not to allow the brackets to slide off the wall plate.
There are two small "issues" that kept me from giving this mount 5 stars. First, once the brackets are locked into place onto the wall plate, there is a small amount of play. I would have preferred it to have felt a little more secure (that's not to say it isn't). I actually had to stand back and wiggle it a little to be sure it was locked. Second, when mounting the brackets flush (without spacers), gaining access to the tilt adjustment knobs can be quite cumbersome due to the space between the tv and wall. This is not necessarily a bad thing because it means the tv is mounted close to the wall for a cleaner look, and once the tension of the adjustment knobs is set, you shouldn't have to play with it again.
These two small issues would not keep me from buying this product again, and I would recommend it to anybody.
