we drove by and the line was *retarded*
got quiznos instead
I'd stick with the steel just because of the strength factor alone.
When the TV is fully extended that 30-45 lbs can triple/quadruple in terms of leverage when the mount is fully extended. Aluminum will be a little lighter but it's not going to be as strong in the long run.
I've used the steel cantilever mount from monoprice & I've also used thier fixed tilting mount with great success. The steel cantilever was used on a 50" plasma which weighted at least 3 times as much as an LCD & the fixed was a 52" lcd.

I'm pretty sure it'll work. I'm going to Turco's on Friday. Didn't he say something about checking it with a hyperterminal, what does that intail doing, maybe I can check it tonight when I get home from work at like 730-8ish. LMK what you think Josh.
Select the right COM port
Select the right Baud Rate (What is it Turco? 9600?)
Prob set to No Parity
As long as its connected and you have the settings right, you will see data populate in the screen.
From the manual
Should see something like if the car is idling:

Two wires need to be connected to a RS-232 serial port. The BLUE wire from the AEM
UEGO Gauge shall be connected to Pin #2 (RX) on the serial port for receiving data.
Page 7
Pin # 5 (GND) on the serial port shall be grounded. If a standard 9-pin serial cable is to
be cut instead, the (RX) wire is typically RED and the (GND) wire is typically GREEN.
However, this should be confirmed with a continuity tester before attempting. (Figure 5)
Use HyperTerminal for testing the data stream. This software is found on most PCs. To
find HyperTerminal go to: Start | All Programs | Accessories | Communications |
HyperTerminal. Name the New Connection and click OK. Set the COM port to the one
being used and click OK.
Bits Per Second = 9600
Data Bits = 8
Parity = None
Stop Bits = 1
Flow Control = Hardware
Verify the settings above and click OK. When power is supplied to the AEM UEGO
Gauge, AFR (or Lambda) data will be displayed, as shown below. (Figure 6)
