Installation was a breeze. This mount was one of the easiest products I've ever installed. In fact, with the ProSet system, we slapped up a torpedo level, marked our holes and went to town. After locating the studs and pre-drilling the holes for our lag bolts, we put the mount up on the wall and secured everything in place. Because the mount is so wide, it's very easy to catch studs at all four primary mounting points. The entire aluminum mounting plate has openings at top and bottom across the entire length in order to facilitate an easy installation, regardless of your location. Sanus also included mounting hardware for both wood and masonry, complete with washers, bolts and stand-offs. 

About the only thing to even watch out for during installation is the location of the mounting holes on your television. If they are less than ~16" then the tilt mechanisms should be located on the outside of the mounting brackets. If greater than ~16" they should be on the inside. All this means is that you may have to reverse the tilt adjustment knobs by removing them completely and inserting them on the other side, so you can switch the tilt arm brackets around. The tension knobs should always, for obvious reasons, be located on the outside so that you can get to them for easy adjustment.

Once everything was in place, we made good use of the ProSet height-adjustment screws and dialed in the mount to be perfectly level. This was done while holding our torpedo level on the top of the display and adjusting the ProSet screw with the included allen wrench. In less than 2 minutes our television was perfectly level and installation was completed. Now all that was left was installing the myriad of devices and wall plates we had in store to wrap up our installation. One note - while positioning any peripherals, be sure to check your clearance and ensure that your tilt brackets aren't going to interfere with cables or anything you plan to place behind the screen.

The ProSet screw is on top of the tilting bracket and adjusts easily for 2 degrees of positive or negative roll.

Conclusion

The Sanus Systems LT25 is very possibly the best tilting flat panel mount you can buy. It's easy to install, looks great, will support nearly anything you throw at it, and removes the most common hassles associated with flat panel display mounting. Given the price of just $199, I'm confident you can dig around and find something for less money, but it won't have this level of quality or features. And when you figure in your time and energy, and the importance of a product that has takes a difficult job and makes it easy, then the Sanus LT25 is a downright bargain. Highly recommended.
