    A lot better than people give it credit for!

    • Written by from Canton

    So I've read the reviews that this mount is stiff and hard to move around....common sense guys, it comes with an allen key and all the hinges can be slightly loosened to your desired tension, mine moves easily and smoothly! You can even tilt the screen up or down which is nice. This way you can tighten it into a permanent position if you are not likely to move it around much, or you can keep it loose if you move it around a lot.

    The wall mount is pretty heavy, especially with my 27" imac, so you would want to mount it on a stud in the wall, unless you want to attempt to use some heavy duty drywall plugs. You could mount it directly to drywall, my closet poles are mounted to dry wall with special plastic split studs and they hold super heavy winter coats just fine - I just didn't want to risk it with my mac! ha

    The color is nice, matches well with the iMac and is just a little darker silver. I have light grey walls so it looks epic against it.

    DONT FORGET TO GET THE VESA ADAPTER FOR IMAC!!!! else you won't be able to attach this wall mount to the back of your iMac.

    super easy to install, super sturdy which makes you feel a lot safer having your expensive computer hanging from the wall! and it has some clips on the mount that you can clip the cord onto so it is not hanging from the computer but stays hidden.

    It is pricey, but I wouldn't want to buy something cheap and flimsy and ruin my $3000 computer!!! To me it's worth the money. Plus, I'm always needing to move the computer around and im always nervous that i'm going to knock my iMac over so I actually feel safer with it mounted to the wall :)

    Nice, but display is too far from the wall

    • Written by from Palo Alto

    Overall a pretty good product. No problems with installation and does the job for a 30" Cinema. But the minimum distance from the wall is about 6" (from back of the display). If I had know this before, I would have found some other wall mount.

    Not one touch positioning

    • Written by from BROOKLYN

    Moving my 24" imac is a grinding process that is jerky and hardly one touch. I have tried to loosen the allen wrench nuts to get the right combination of tight enough to hold it up and loose enough to move freely and have not found a happy medium. Within 2 months it wont hold the iMac upright, any adjustment loosens it beyond usability.

    As Stated In Another Review - Do not use the included screws!

    • Written by from Burtonsville

    I don't know why I read the previous post and still opted to use the included screws; one broke while being drilled into the wall stud. A quick trip to Ace Hardware fixed the problem!

    My only other complaint is that it does not match the aluminum on the display; the arm is actually grey (steel), but oh well! Works like a charm!

    DO NOT USE THE PROVIDED SCREWS!

    • Written by from San Diego

    I received the 2 Arms today that I ordered, could not wait to put them up so I would have my 2 30" Displays Wall Mounted. I started to put the first one up, I pre-drilled the holes into the studs. Using the scr-ews provided with the mounting arm. I tightened the scr-ews by hand into the wall, and one of the scr-ews snapped in half. So after I go to Lowes and get some scre-ws that are not made of some kind of che-ap & we-ak metal to cut costs of production; I will have to end up remounting higher or lower than originally planned, due to the fact I have the threaded end of the scr-ews stuck in my wall now. So do not Use the provided scr-ews, I would not want to have this happen to anyone else. Costing well over $100 for each one of the mounts, I would expect they could provide some nice heavy-duty scr-ews to mount with. I don't even want to think what would happen if I actually got to the point where my 30" Cinema HD's were mounted on them and then the scr-ews broke, that would have been quite costly.

    How Amazing!

    • Written by from Dallas

    The wall mount is just so wonderful. If you hook up your screen or Imac like I did it really brings it out.I put my 24inch up on my office wall and it was great. it was a breeze to put up( although I had a handy man put it up). It seemed very easy to put. Also the way you can change it to look like a picture a picture is outrageously wonderful. It was so totally worth the money.

    Amazing!!!!!

    • Written by from LAKEWOOD

    Simple install took about 5 minutes to mount to the wall and hang the display. Preset tension on a few of the bolts was lighter than I would like but the supplied tool provided a quick easy adjustment. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to free up some desk space and get the most of their 30" cinema display.

    Superb! I should have got one of these a long time ago.

    • Written by from Carolina Beach

    This product really exceeded my expectations. A perfect compliment to the Apple 30" display. It looks like something from the Terminator movies.... But it is tucked away behind the behemoth and beautiful 30" Cinema Display. Works as advertised and a breeze to install. Don't hesitate to get one or 2! When I replace my old 22" Cinema Display with a shiny new Aluminum one, I will mount it to one of these. You can even rotate your display for a portrait orientation. Sweet!

    Does the job

    • Written by from Melbourne

    This arm is well built and has a nice finish that complements my new 30" Cinema Display. The packaging was very well padded to protect the arm during shipment. The cable clips are very cheap, flimsy plastic and will fall off continuously due to the heavy weight of the monitor's cable. I have a similar arm sold by LaCie and it uses metal guides for the cable which work much better. I wound up using zip ties to keep the cable attached to the arm instead.

    Please be aware that the instruction manual says that the arm is pre-tensioned and needs no adjustment. I had quite a scare when I mounted my display because the weight of the monitor made it flop down and almost hit the wall. It turns out the tilt adjustment was way too loose. Once tightened with the supplied allen wrench, it now stays in the desired tilt angle. However, I find that the rotate adjustment is still a bit loose and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to tighten this axis of movement.

    Great Product - Using w/ 24" iMac

    • Written by from New York

    Bought this and the VESA Adapter. Great product and when used with the wireless mouse/keyboard combo, it frees up the clutter of wires.

    Installation took about 15 min but needed wife to hold up iMac to mount.

    Two insignificant problems:
    1) When moving the iMac, the wireclips sometimes knock each other off.
    2) The arm joints can scuff onto your wall. Solved this with those clear rubber nubs used for drawers/cabinets.

    Great Product

    • Written by from Mountain View

    This was exactly what I needed to free up some desk space. I found instalation very straightforward, don't know why others had problems. Once installed I was very pleased with how easy it was to position.

    Great Match for Apple Cinema Display, Not So Great Installation!

    • Written by from Paterson

    I encountered many problems during installation—at least two during every step. The wood stud screw was way too big for the wall, and we were forced to hammer it when it wouldn't go in anymore. The display doesn't stay up straight, so I had to buy Pratz screw driver to tighten, but in the end this was the prefect match for my Apple 23" Cinema Display. My recommendation: Hire a professional unless you have the correct tools.
