Plasma tilting wall mount help..............

[LCruiser122]

I have a Panasonic TH-46PZ85U plasma coming tomorrow. I want to mount it on the wall with a slight downward tilt.

I've heard many mounts don't fit well or right. Has anyone purchased a mount for this tv, or this size tv? I could use all the help i could get.

Thanks

I'd be careful not to mount it too high...."bar & grill" style unless you watch from a laying or reclined position. IMO, the top of the screen should be at eye level from your viewing position. If it's too high, you'll feel the neck and eye strain.

The designers of those old console TVs that sat on the floor had it right.

Here's a whole page full of tilting plasma mounts. I've got a nice tilting mount on my 52" LCD that works fantastic.

Thanks.
I have my AV eqpt under it on a stand so, for now, I'm mounting it so eye level will be just slightly below the mid-point of screen.
The best I can do. Plus, a cofee table would block it if it would be too low.

Any opinions on the mount itself?

Which mount did you buy?

This mount is very similar to what I am using. Almost identical.

Very easy to mount on the wall. Very easy to get the screen on and off it, and mounts pretty close to the wall...

Notice too you can lock the screen onto it.. Great theft deterant if they break into your house...

If you want a mount that tilts up and down Parts Express has a very nice mount for only $39 plus shipping. It also comes with a free HDMI cable.

I bought their tilting and swivel mount for only $77. It was under $100 with shipping. I am very happy with the quality and the price. This went on my 50" Panasonic plasma.

This is the flyer they are in.
