Flat Panel Mount - flat screen, mount


I bought a Toshiba 15LV505 15.6-Inch that I wanted to mount under the cabinet. The customer service at "Warehouseseller" was helpful and responsive as we trouble shot how to make the mount work with the TV. There was nothing from Amazon that indicated that these two items wouldn't work together (I bought them at the same time), but it turned out that the TV is not mountable. They have been helpful in their return process. I give Amazon an "F" but give Warehouseller high marks. VideoSecu Under Cabinet Mount Flip for LCD TV monitor Black LCD-CM 1MS

overall I am very pleased with the Item ,I got the bracket to mount a Toshiba 16 Inch in the kitchen under the counter ,I was told that the TV could be mounted ,only to find out that the Toshiba can not be mounted ,so I was my 16 Inch Sharp and the mount works very well ,so make very sure that the TV you buy will be able to be mounted

Compared to other mounts, for the price it's a good product. I anticipated a few flaws after reading the other reviews and there definitely are a few. First, having a template for mounting would have made things a lot easier, but not a big deal. Second, the hardware that it came with is unacceptable. The heads on the bolts are barely wide enough to secure the mount to the tv. I had to get new bolts with wider heads on them to mount the bracket safely. The screws for securing the mount to the cabinets are like 3 inches long, which is fine I suppose if you're securing it to brick or something, but I imagine most people's cabinets are an inch or less thick on the bottom, so I had to get new screws for that as well so they weren't coming way through on the inside. Third, when the tv hangs down, it angles backwards slightly and you can't get it to sit at 90 degrees no matter what you do. This isn't a problem when you're sitting down, but makes for a slightly awkward viewing angle when standing. The last flaw is when the tv is in the "up" position, it tends to sag over time. It may just be an issue of finding the exact tightness I need to set it at, but I have a very light weight 16" Vizio and wouldn't think I would have to tighten it too much (which also makes it very difficult to pull it down when it's too tight). Overall, for the price it's what I expected and a decent product. It's well-built and easy to install. If you buy it, I would anticipate having to do a little extra work getting acceptable hardware and realize there's some quirks with the mount and how it hangs and rests in the up position.

I wanted to use this to mount a small tv under my kitchen cabinets. The smallest tv I could find was a 15" (which is 12" in height) 12" happens to be the same depth as the cabinets, sounds good right? Well, the mounting holes on the tv were towards the top making it impossible to use these premade holes to mount the tv with all 4 mounting holes and have it still fit under the cabinet. I will have to rig something up so that I can have the tv in proper position to allow it to flip up and down all the way.

This mount does everything it claims at a small price. I hang my HDTV television as a monitor in a closet in just a few minutes. Unless mentioned otherwise all hardwares are included with it. You may have to adjust a couple of the bolts on the mount. Basically, these are for centering your TV in right position. I put about 30 seconds worth of time into this procedure the very first time I used the device, and that is all that it required.

I bought this to mount a 20" Vizio LCD under my kitchen cabinet. It is very sturdy, attractive, reasonably priced, and was quite easy to install. It gave us alot more counter space when not using the TV. Would recommend purchasing this item. - Flat Screen - Flat Panel - Tv Mounts - Mount'
