We have a TV in our exercise room and it has never been a problem for me - I'm 5'2.

Good morning and Happy New Year. I have the 46 inch model. Mine is running silent and cool. If you have this problem return it, but this is the first I've heard of this. If you're thinking of purchasing, go check it out in the store. You're welcome.

Has more to do with rim width, however, if you put a bigger tire on your rim, it could block some of the throw both forward and backward of the front and rear lights. It will not affect the side view. Buy the product based on rim width. They will email after your purchase to determine the right size. They were very easy to work with and the lights are awesome. Very, very visble and cool looking. Work well

I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt. I originally used a bracket the was moveable, side to side-up and down. I did not feel it was secure enough because of the overall size of the TV itself. The solid mount works great for my needs as I really did not have any reason I needed to move the screen. In addition, if you go with anything but a flush mount the TV will be several inches away from the wall its mounted to too allow for clearance of the back of the swivel unit. Takes away from one of the TV best features in that its so thin. Good luck. I purchased mine from BJ's (Cosco). Simple bracket, I have a flush mount with a very slight front tilt.

I have no issue with blockage. Viewing area is sufficent .. Good for a 100yds

Lower vision is slightly obstructed. I have to look down a bit to see my tank mounted speedometer, but I probably always did that anyway. Lower vision is probably not as limited as it would be with a full face helmet. I have no problem seeing my handlebar riser mounted GPS, just have to dip a bit for the tank speedo on my Road King. No side vision impairment at all.

The stand is more narrow in the front than it is in the rear. I have a 50 inch mounted on the stand, and the tv appears almost as wide as the front from about 15 feet away. Works well with a 50 inch

The top has a ledge that sits over the top of the TV. On the back of that ledge, there are two slits where a strap goes through (which cant be seen at eye level) that can then be tied to something (like the wall mount). This setup supports the unet almost entirely.There are 4 Velcro prices that attach the sheild to the front of the TV. They are more to add a spacer for airflow between the sheild and TV, and to prevent the bottom ledge from swinging forward if the TV is angled down.

I have a 46" of this model in a brightly lit room. NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. I was worried too. But, one thing for me is that my window is on the side of my tv not directly behind. I,too, viewed it at several different Best Buys and it worried me how much reflection I saw. However, it's been strange to me. It doesn't seem as reflective since I got it in a home environment. One morning, with the blinds open even...I walked by and looked at the tv and had to stop because for a moment it almost looked matte.

Dear M. L. Jackson, thanks for taking the time to respond. Is your XBR4 a 40, 46, or 52 inch? This is a real enigma: I've seen a few posts that complained about the fan noise on the xbr4. Perhaps it is specific to a certain size screen. Thanks, Bob Dorsett

My headrest tilts forward as well and neither one of my kids have a hard time seeing theirs. I just pushed the headrest up a couple notches and point the mount downward for them to see tv good. No problems getting it on, very easy.

I believe that the ipod, from various reviews I've read, has been manufactured in such a way that this problem does not affect the screen. I just checked mine, and it seems quite viewable from all angles during both menu navigation and movie playback.

This is due to overscan. On older 'tube' TVs the image drawn was larger than the viewable screen size and the outside got cut off. For aesthetic reasons most modern TVs are programmed to do the same thing by default. Different manufacturers use different terminology for it but most should have a picture display mode option that will correct this and not stretch the image beyond the edge of your screen.

I mounted an 80 on peerless. But I can't remember if i bought a bigger mount. Is there a larger peerless ? If so buy it's worth the money. I was told it goes but weight so to answer your question I believe so. Peerless is best if u want to maneuver the tv different angles

The cover for the rear LCD fits fine. But the cover for the control panel is a bit too small. Since I bought it, I used it, but the cover for the top control panel cuts off part of the control panel on the left and right sides. Not a major problem, but if I were to do it again I would look into other options first.

I did get stopped once, but I didn't get a ticket for it. It does block the plate, but so does a bike rack loaded with bikes, so I think most police won't pursue it, but it gives them a reason to pull you over. Depending on where you live, it could be an issue. If you're really concerned about it, you could move the plate to the bottom of the rack when it is folded up, possibly using a magnetic mount like car dealers have. You'd have to mount a steel plate onto the mesh to make it work. I live in rural CO, so it really isn't an issue.

I have a 46" TV and it fit perfectly. the Velcro fits on the side of the TV so it is invisible when you attach the protector. I have a 2 year old and it has saved us on many occasions from running out and purchasing a new TV. Highly Recommend
