I'm looking to buy this product as well as a wall mount. I plan on using same tv. Is it an easy transition to take tv from ceiling to wall reguarly?

the two bars that attach to the TV, have a screw on each, that when tightened, keep TV secure on the mount. But if you keep these screws loose, you can easily mount and unmount the TV. the TV will still be secure unless some one "accidentally" manages to pull the TV from the bottom towards them and lift the tv off the mount and throw it a cross the room.

Purchase an inexpensive HDMI cable from Amazon. TV is ready to go out of the box. I used the included stand for about a week and then when I got around to it, I mounted it on the wall. Wall mount should be very strong and perfectly level. Otherwise the size of the TV will show even the slightest amount of deflection.

I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt. I originally used a bracket the was moveable, side to side-up and down. I did not feel it was secure enough because of the overall size of the TV itself. The solid mount works great for my needs as I really did not have any reason I needed to move the screen. In addition, if you go with anything but a flush mount the TV will be several inches away from the wall its mounted to too allow for clearance of the back of the swivel unit. Takes away from one of the TV best features in that its so thin. Good luck. I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt.

Just picked up this TV yesterday to replace one that broke that I had hung. Yes, you can absolutely hang it, but the TV does not come with hardware to do so. The wall mount I bought (cheapo one on eBay over a year ago) came with MANY sets of screws to fit all TV's. The longest screws in the package were the ones I had to use, but it is rock solid on my wall. Once you pop out the 4 covers on the back, you can see the holes that will accept the screws. Get a wall mount that will handle a 42" TV, and it should come with screws. They are standard sizes, but like I said, you may need extra long ones, which you can get at any hardware store. I would also HIGHLY recommend buying a wall mount online - I did it on eBay - as you will save a TON over going through any retail store. Good luck.

Another wall mount that works great with this TV. Purchased two of these TV's for each of my sons and used this wall mount for both of them. Works great, swivels, swings out of the way. VERY solid and high quality for the price. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp;_id=10828&cs;_id=1082806&p;_id=5921&seq;=1&format;=2 Also came with all screws needed to mount to wall and attach to TV.

I would say its pretty simple... The hardest part is proper install. If you are going to ceiling mount you need to be sure you have a way to plug it in, it sounds simple but I didn't think about that when I set mine up... Anyways hope this helps a little bit.

I'm getting this tv delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 2008. This is going to seem huge compared to my 13 inch tv that's hooked up now. I'm glad that it's getting really good reviews. Is it hard to set up? Can I do it on my own? What length is the base? I'm planning on putting it on the table that my other tv is currently on. Would all I have to do is plug it in and connect it to my cable just like my tv is now?

Yes, it was easy to mount. I mounted it on the wall of my shop with the VideoSecu Articulating arm so my workbench surface would remain clear. I'm very happy with the results. The TV has standard built-in threaded inserts ready for the hanging bracket.

I've had mine for about a year and a half now. Assembly was easy, initial TV mounting wasn't bad (but requires two people), but raising the height after mounting the TV was not as easy (and definitely required two people). Basically, there are a couple of bolts that have to be removed and re-inserted in the next set of holes in order to raise or lower the height. While the bolts are out someone has to hold the TV to keep it from falling down to the lowest height. On the positive side, once the bolts are re-installed, this puppy is not coming loose. Seems much more durable than clamps or set screws would be. I've had mine for about a year and a half now.

It's quite easy but you have to go get your own screws that fit the back of your tv. Once you get em attach the brackets with ease ;)

We used the existing wall mount from the 55" Hitachi we were replacing. With the box upright, as if the t.v. would be out of the box (the bottom is the heaviest) open the top of the box, then cut the box sides so that the box will fall open. tah-dah... TV!

Yes it is very easy, I purchased this for that reason. I move the TV from inside to outside when camping or wanting to watch sports outside. Weel made and worth the investment.

We got this for our kitchen and it's really hard to move around. GIven that you'll be putting a 55" tv on top will make it even harder to move. We ended up getting a similar one by OXO which moves like a charm but unfortunately the latter wont work for you since it's white in color (which will stick out with your tv) and it has a pretty deep ledge so it does not have a flat surface for your tv to stand on it. Personally I do not recommend this item, but it really depends on how often you will move your tv and by how much I guess. If it's just a little tilt it might be ok though. Hope this helps!

The mount is great. It pulls out to 26.5 inches. When you drill your holes in the wall, just make sure you use a level to make sure you are horizontal. When you attach the TV to the mount, you can move it horizontal along the mount to make sure it is level. If you have the TV to far to the left or the right it will be off center. You will like the mount. It is very flexible.

I am very happy with mine and you can move the TV left and right as well as up and down. You can't beat it for the price. I use mine for a 32" TV.

Yes, very easily in fact, the TV is VERY light. You don't even need a face mount, it can be a single arm, which is what I used. Took like 14 minutes to mount it that way. You just have to find the stud.
