Monoprice tilt mount install a sucess!
I recently ordered a mount for my kids new 32" Samsung. I got jacked for an expensive mout on my main plasma. So I decided to try a cheap monoprice mount for this new tv. The mount was $21 and I also ordered a 10 ft power cable for the tv (only $1.90) because I knew it the tv was going to be high up the wall. My kids have bunk beds and both like to be up top mainly. I also wanted a decent view from the bottom bunk, and from chairs/ beanbags. So the stuff arrived, and I broke out the stud finder and marked the wall. After I got the mount on the wall I checked it with a level before bolting it down with my rathchet. I drilled a nice 2" round hole in the mount's provided area with a hole saw for cabling. I then ran an HDMI for PS3, a coax, ac cable, and componet cables, just because I had an extra set. Then I called a buddy over to help me lift the tv. Its only a 32 but safety first! After I got the tv up there I made the final adjustments (left to right) and secured it. I really like the mechanism that locks the tv onto the mount. I prefer the omnimount latches that you can get some small padlocks to fit in for security. However this one is a pain in the A@# to get at the inside screws if you wanted to remove the tv. I think any thief would not take the time to figure it out with the alarm blaring! So I powered up and sucess. I am still trying to find a nice final cosmetic solution for the gear attached to the tv. But at least I am happy with the tv view and no visable wiring. See pic.

Those $25 monoprice mounts are great. I used 1 of the articulating mounts for my Sharp 37'' LCD wall mount install upstairs last year and works/looks primo. I just received my $18 wall mount for my mom's 42'' Panny plasma I will be mounting this weekend. Should go sweet. Can't believe people still pay $200+ for wall mounts these days.
