Techcraft Solution Series PLM50 Plasma Mount
Very happy with this product looks great. Mount is adjustable for height as well as being able to turn side to side. All wires hide in the mounting arm so you have a clean install. Matching stand is required I believe there are a few different models that go with this stand all are nicely made and look good.

This is not a good alternative to wall mounting unless you have a very large room and space to spare. Or maybe a small TV where you want to bring it closer. Or maybe you have a neck condition where you need everything you look at to be up really high (is there such a condition? I don’t know).
Be warned that unlike a wall mount, your TV will end up 17″–18″ away from the wall (using the TV’s built-in stand, I was able to get it about 5″ away).
The height is only adjustable from “too high” to “ridiculously high.” At the lowest adjustment, the bottom of my TV was 39″ above the floor (this will vary a bit depending on your TV size and where the mounting screws go). If you like to watch movies on the couch, this is simply absurd, akin to sitting too close at a movie theater.
Also be warned that this is a huge PITA to install. You have to unhook everything in the cabinet below, take all the electronics and the shelves out, the doors off, and the back panel off.
The only pros I can give this thing are that it’s very sturdy, probably to the point of overkill for newer plasma TVs (which are not so heavy like the old ones), and it’s nice that you can run cables through the pole.
If you have a small room, stay away from this thing.
