User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Fast delivery and easy set up.
I ordered this item and received it within a matter of days. The secondary bubble level I received was not magnetic and the leveler that was supposed to be built into the mount had fallen off. Other than this the item was more than adequate for my needs. They also included an array of attachment screws for different types of televisions. Using a drill and socket wrench I was able to hang the wall mount in under 10 minutes. I do suggest using your own leveler since the ones included are not accurate. Over all when looking at the price of other wall mounts on the market, this is an extremely good deal and a trustworthy product.

5 Stars Quality mount — not cheap but low-cost (by design). Like it.
I was skeptical of this mount. Why should this be so cheap compared to other mounting kits? I ordered one (due to the price), and prepared to return it if I did not think the mount could handle the weight of the 52″ LCD TV (Samsung).

Once I got it, I understood the cost. Good low-cost design and built with solid heavy duty steel.

- Two horizontal bars are load-bearing, and for proper VESA spacing, they have to be parallel and relative distance must be in the right tolerances. These are made of solid steel.

- Two vertical bars (in the wall mount) are flimsey, and that’s ok. it should be solid enough make a rectangle box w/ square angles. That’s it.

- Two vertical mounting (to the TV) brackets are of heavy duty metal. Making this in to two parts (not one), reduction of material, but also allows free horizontal adjustment on the TV mount.

- By doing the above, the kit is small, uses less metal (and reduce shipping and material waste).

Positives

———

1. Good solid and heavy duty construction.

2. Good value (low-cost). Paid < << $[...] including shipping.

3. Easy install. Took 15 min to figure out the instruction (which is not totally clear), and 10~15 min to install and ready to watch.

4. built-in level worked well during marking of mouting holes on the wall –I tested w/ my own, and was consistent.

5. Once the mounted on the wall, and bracket on TV, you could adjust horizontal TV placement on the mount, just by sliding few inches left or right, post install. I expect this to be safe and true if the wall mount is directly screwed into the wall studs. I do not expect dry-wall install without the use of the studs to handle such adjustment.

6. The brackets on TV could also be used to adjust vertical TV placement by a few inches up and down. But for this one, you’ll need to lift TV off the bracket and adjust and pull back .

7. There is a reasonable space (I would say, just right) from the wall to the TV to get cables/connectors through WITHOUT using any expensive 90 degree connectors. Plenty of space between two horizontal bars to put extra power outlet and data HDMI cable outlet to hide all the cables.

8. This supports tilt up/down, and works well. Amazon product description does not make it clear.

Negatives

———

1. Just one. Clearer instruction so that I do not need to spend 15 min figuring things out. One could learn a lot form IKEA .

2. Packing/Packaging — Not necessarily Cheetah Mount issue — mine came w/o missing parts, although I noticed torn cardboard box edges and some parts COULD have been lost during shipping. Either double box, or have Cheetah use heavier box stock.

Helpful Hints & Comments

————————-

1. DO NOT forget to tighten the screws (2) on the bottom horizontal bars AFTER TV is placed on the wall mount — especially if you are in CA w/ quake. This is what prevents TV falling off the mount accidentally. But do not over-tighten (you are NOT securing from left-to-right movement).

2. Very happy w/ my purchase. Will get one more for my other TV.

5 Stars Highest quality, lowest price! Fit my new samsung 850 series!
I don’t normally take the time to write a review unless the product exceeded my expectations. I am thoroughly impressed here. I bought a new 50″ samsung. The new 850 series at best buy. The staff told me that the sanus and others would not be compatible with this model. They directed me to samsung’s $300.00 slim line picture-hanging-type mount. I declined and found this gem online. Glad I did! I figured with the low price, I might as well try it out and if it didn’t work out, no big deal.. maybe I could have modified it necessary. Well, I found this product to be of high quality and very simple to mount in no time. It came with levels as well! Also included is different screws for most Plasmas. In short, don’t waste your money on anything more expensive. If you have a four bolt square pattern anywhere in the back of your set, I can’t imagine it not working for your tv and doubt you will be disappointed.

5 Stars Let me see…
Have not used yet, but looks solid. Sure it will work out just fine! Fast Shipping

4 Stars Cheetah Mount for LN40A550
I purchased this wall mount for my LN40A550. Unfortunately, the hardware was not in the box so I had to wait through the weekend got the hardware the middle of the following week. The hardware fit my TV well and once I drilled some holes in the wall studs, I hung the mount and set the TV on it. Other than that slight setback, I am very pleased with the build quality of the mount. It can handle my 50lb TV easily. I would definitely recommend to someone else. It sure beats spending $150-200 on a mount.
