Product Description
The latest addition to the Premier Mounts product line is this Universal Swingout Arm for 37?-50? displays - the AM250. This revolutionary design is the first scissor-style swingout arm from Premier Mounts. It offers smooth tilt adjustment of 10 degrees, plus you can pull your LCD or Plasma flat-panel TV up to 16? from the wall and push it back to just under 3.5? off the wall when collapsed. Once extended, you may pivot the display up to 45-degrees to the left or right. Best of all, it's backed by Premier Mounts' industry-leading Lifetime Guarantee for reliability and assurance.

 It gets better with use! October 20, 2008
10 months ago I installed this swingout mount and a new 50" plasma display that weighs about 100 pounds. Because of the quality design, materials and construction, I have never worried that the mount could fail even though the display is massive. When I first installed the mount it was somewhat stiff - even without a display hanging on it - and after installation the display was a bit challenging to move. It required patience and 'pulses' of force to start it moving. However, now that the mount has been in use for 10 months it swings out and glides much more easliy, yet maintains the intended position for the display. Thus, it appears that the arm pivots have a 'break-in' period. I would expect that period to be variable, depending on the load and the amount or frequency of movement. I probably move mine a few times a week...
When viewing, the added impact of aiming a nice flat panel screen right at the viewer is surprising! When not viewing, the ability to 'put it away', close to the wall, keeps the room looking much more tidy.
This product has met all my expectations and I recommend it as an excellent value.

I bought this for a Sony 41" LCD. It arrived faster than expected (in Alaska!) and was relatively easy to install.
It does take two people to hang the bracket on the wall, and a stud finder (hope yours works better than ours) but the instructions are easy to follow. It took two of us about 90 minutes to do, and the TV is easy to adjust (other reviews said differently) though the new Sony is pretty light (for a 41").

Very well made and sturdy. I do wish there was a way to have less hardware come with it for every possible situation. Kind of a waste of metal and manufacturing. There were a LOT of screws and bolts to cover every possible mounting type and situation.
But it is a good product. Installation fairly easy, works well and smoothly.
Great bang for the buck April 8, 2008
I went around shopping at the local tv/electronics stores (typical ones, fry's electronics, magnolia, best buy, circuit city, etc)and played with all the mounts of this type (wallmounts that would move in/out, swing left/right, tilt, etc) that I could get my hands on. There was only one wall mount that was in the same league (most of the other ones weren't very rigid, and with my 46" lcd hanging 5' above the floor, I wanted something very secure). The other one that was as rigid was the omni (I believe) but it swung in at over 2x the price of this one, so it was a no brainer. This came with EVERYTHING you'd imagine needing (and extra's/more) except for securing to a cement wall.
The only 4 cons I can think of are:
-It's heavy (all these big wall mounts are, this particular one was 45-50lbs, not a big problem unless you had to hold it 1-2' above your head when mounting it, as I did. Make sure you have a spare set of hands for the first bolt)
-bit of friction in the mount. For a static mount this is fine, but if you are going to be moving it a lot, it might be a sore point. I haven't played with the adjustments, I believe one could loosen some of the bolts a hair to turn down the friction and get over this problem, I know this is true for the tilt. I keep mine static, so this hasn't become an issue for me to look into.
-this con is more a con to walls than the mount. It's difficult to put the mount EXACTLY where you want because of stud limitation. I had about 6" of play (3" each direction, as I recall) and my studs are 18" apart. That means you have about a foot of area that you can't hang the mount. This was a problem for me, I was able to work around it. Seems like no matter what you want to hang on a wall, there is never a stud close enough ;).
-Doesn't come with hardware for cement walls (but then again, most of us have drywall over studs and if you have cement walls you probably have the hardware from that "other project" you did last year).
That's being really nit-picky. Most of these issues will be shared with other wall mounts of this size/strength/flexibility.
Great Mount November 1, 2007
Great choice for a flat screen TV mount. Got it at another retailer and paid the price, roughly $70 more. The mount was very easy to install. Grab a friend (the mount is heavy, and your TV is presumably as well!), find the studs, put the mount on the wall, attach rods to TV, hang the TV. I have had other mounts and this one is superior. It is a bit hard to pull away from the wall, and a little hard to push into the wall, but it swivels side to side and up and down quite easily. The difficulty is most likely due to the sturdiness of the mount. It is VERY sturdy and gives the impression that it will hold quite a bit more (our particular TV is over 100 lbs).
