? about your wall mounted plasma

I've got a 50" Panasonic wallmounted using the Peerless flat mount (SF-660). I used a flashlight to look behind the TV and noticed that the upper corners of the mount are slighly pulled from the wall. Nothing drastic, but I'm guessing you could slide a baseball card between the mount and wall.


Is this normal? Are the mounts designed to give a little?


It's just the edges and not where the screws go into the wall/studs. Anyway, I was a little surprised given that the TV is only half of the rated load (up to 200lbs.).

Is it possible the mount was not 'flat' or not perfectly straight before it was installed?

The real question is....what wall on this planet is flat? I am sure it is the wall and not the mount!! If you KNOW you hit the studs, no worries!

I would take the plasma down and inspect the mount. Not worth the risk otherwise
