it would be okay. now if were to rest 1/2 of your left arm on it... then well that's your fault for going beyond the rated capacity.

samsung has the wireless box for one of their newer lines of tvs. its lags sometimes, but after tweaking with it it handles pretty good. i am not sure how it would do with gaming or sports though

UPDATE:

Got an email saying it's back in stock. So I ordered that, a few cables and a few wall plates. If anyone is looking to order, here's your heads up that they're back in.

I have a Philips 42" Plasma and I think it weighs just over 100lbs if I remember right (yeah heavy fucker).

It has been on the wall in two different locations now for over a year with no signs of any issues at all.

trust me if it failed or had any issues I would not reccomend it in the least.

If you are concerned about weight still when I mounted my old Tube TV the stand was rated at 92lbs, but my TV was 103. I just went to the store and bought 4" Lag screws to replace the chintzy screw they supplied. Held the weight just fine.

Yep

the one I got was rated up to about 160lbs so I guess it's a slightly different model, but upgrade the lags and it should hold just the same.
