Just installed one of these. No problems and works fine with my Samsung 46-inch LCD.
Instructions are clear and complete. They are generic instructions for a variety of televisions but include an 18-page list of TV models indicating exactly which of the bolts, spacers, washers, etc. are to be used with each model. Each variety and size of this miscellaneous hardware comes packaged and labeled to match the instructions.
The general idea is to attach the wall plate to the wall; attach the brackets to the TV; then hang the TV (via the brackets) on the wall plate.
A few installation hints:
1) It is a two-person job so plan on having some help. A second person is a big help when lining up the wall-plate to be sure you drill the holes so that the TV ends up level and in the position you want. And, chances are your TV is too heavy or bulky to be moved safely by one person anyway.
2) You will want to read and re-read the instructions before you start.
3) Once you have a feel for the instructions use a yellow highlighter to mark information specific to your situation and to mark the packaging for the bolts, etc. you need.
4) Use of a small mirror and flashlight can help you direct the long allen wrench to the bolts that lock the brackets to the wall plate. Holding the flashlight is another place where a second pair of hands can help.
5) Do not adjust nor lock-in the tilt until after you have connected the wires to the back of the TV. Better yet, attach them before hanging the TV onto the wall plate.
UPDATE:
I read in another review that you should have a level and a stud finder. I probably should have mentioned that in my hints above but didn't think to since I already had those things. So, I agree, you will want to use those to do the job correctly. For the stud finder, get a reasonably good one as the cheap ones are not much better than tapping on the wall and listening for the best sounding spots. I have a Zircon 60369 Studsensor I65 Onestep Center Finding Stud Finder (which I bought at Lowe's). It says "Center Finding" but what I like is the way it also identifies the edges of studs. If I can get repeatable locations on both edges and the center then I believe I have found the stud! Zircon sells more expensive models so if you have difficult walls (e.g. plywood, or plaster with lath) you may want to consider those, but this model worked fine for my typical 5/8" drywall over 2x4 studs, even with some plaster over the drywall.
Another good tip I saw was to attach the brackets to the TV first thing. This will allow you to measure more carefully exactly where you want the wall plate. Come to think of it, this is exactly what I did, but for a different reason. I wanted to be sure the brackets would fit my TV before committing myself to drilling holes in the wall!

I just purchased this for my 60" TV. It does not fit at all.
The description said 32" - 63", it actually should say "selective 32" - 60" TV. It doesn't fit all tv sizes. If you need one, must check their website with the specific TV brand and model number before you purchase the mount. Waste my time and money.
 One touch tilt??? October 11, 2007

The TV wall mount is of good quality, but it is by no means a "One Touch Tilt" model. Both of the brackets have adjustments on them and consequently they must both be adjusted in order to tilt the TV up or down. Not a bad TV mount, but it is not what I ordered. Be careful when purchasing a flat-panel TV mount. Do some research and visit the manufacurers website before choosing which model you want. After you choose the model that fits your application, go back and find it on Amazon. Do not rely on the product descriptions listed on Amazon because I have found several of them to be inaccurate. I hope this info will help others make a more educated choice when they purchase their TV wall mount brackets.
 Good solid mount. Very satisfied July 2, 2007

I received this tilt wall mount within 4 days of ordering and it arrived in time for me to have my new 42" Samsung up on the wall by Saturday night. I read through the instructions before I got the tools out and was chagrinned to find that I thought I was going to need a new tool to tighten the specially designed hex screws that came in the hardware pack with this kit. Then I figured out that the very long rod shaped like an allen wrench that came with the mount was, in fact, the tool I needed to tighten down these special hex screws that have a small metal post in their centers. Confused? So was I until I realized that I had the tool all along. Funny thing though was that this tool and how to use it is mentioned nowhere in the instructions for this Peerless product.
Having said all this, I would buy the mount again. It is sturdy, works as it is described in the online ad and is doing an admirable job of keeping the TV up on the wall.

Be aware that many of the mounts on Amazon are incorrectly labled for TV size. The mounting bracket for this unit is only 30" wide. The mounting holes on the back of my 47" TV are 31" apart! Therefore this unit will not work. The best bet if you want this brand is to go with tht ST670P. It's mounting bracket is 37" wide. Though I doubt it will support the 73" TV it claims it should work for TV's in the 50" range.
