Good wall mountDecember 26, 2007 I found this Bell'O TV tilting wall mount to be all that it said it was. Plenty of parts, easy to install and mount, and plenty strong. Could be a little easier to access and adjust the tilt function.
Excellent product; disappointing DVD.December 22, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I don't write a lot of reviews, but I thought I'd write this one since no one has reviewed this item yet. I decided to consider the Bell'O after seeing them in our local high end video store. They are the brand that store pushes. This particular one sells there for about $150. It's often about $130 at other internet sources, so Amazon's price is very good. I was looking forward to the instructional DVD, but it was a bust and wouldn't play. Something wrong in the codec. I tried playing it on three different DVD players, and four different computers. On some, it just wouldn't play at all. On others, I got the menu system and then it herked and jerked through the instruction in a way that gave you just a snippet of dialogue and a frozen image (with artifacts) every 30 seconds or so. So I gave up on the DVD. But the manual is very good (in very small print). We forged ahead without the visual DVD instruction.
The key to installing this (as any unit) is measuring carefully, accurately locating the studs in your wall, leveling carefully, and making sure you've determined just where you want it to go. I used a Black and Decker electronic stud finder and laser level for the first time, and it was a terrific aid. Everything went perfectly, although it did take much longer than I expected to find the studs, do the measuring with care, etc. But once I was ready to drill holes, it all went together nearly effortlessly.
The Bell'O is well made, the black unit is nicely finished. The end caps are a very nice touch. The TV moves freely right and left (although moving it too much would reveal the bracket on the wall, so with the size of our TV, the range is about 4 inches either direction off center). It slides so effortlessly right and left that it seems as though it is floating. Very smooth and impressive. I don't know if we needed the tilt mechanism -- we put it in the zero position (so it can still till up about 5 degrees and down 10 degrees or more). It seems tilted down about 5 degrees in what they call the 0 position, and that is perfect for our installation. So at least for us, we could have gone with the non-titling model just fine. It came with every possible screw, washer, and spacer needed for just about any recent TV model (check the Bell'O cite for compatibility). Out of the hardware store's worth of stuff they sent, I used four simple washers and four simple screws and the arms mounted perfectly to our 40" Toshiba flatscreen LCD. All I have to do now is figure out what to do with the cords. I didn't want to mess with trying to run them down the wall, so I'm probably going to go with a "Wiring Solution" cable cover, which you can get directly throuhg Crutchfield, or through Amazon (using Crutchfield or a couple of other 3rd party vendors).
All in all, I'm totally pleased with the Bell'O. I compared it to Peerless and Omnimount, and I think the Bell'O is equally good. I bought it in part for the DVD, which was worthless, but which I didn't really need anyway. So I highly recommend this to any of you needing a wall mount of this kind in this size range.
