2 Stars Not very sturdy for 52″ plasma
We purchased this wall mount for our 52″ flat screen. The product specifications state it can hold up to a 60″ tv. We double-checked the manual to make sure it was installed properly, but the wall mount isn’t very sturdy. It holds the tv up, but even during installation we were very nervous to leave the wall mount to hold the tv on its own. We definitely will NOT use the articulating arm!
3 Stars Out of Stock
I ordered from costlane a couple of days ago because they would give me free expedited shipping but then I got an email saying they were out of stock, I would have to wait 3 weeks, but then i get expedited shipping so it will only take a month to get it. Even though they are still selling them today they don’t have them in stock. But they raised the price so maybe if you pay 125 bucks they will be in stock for you.
Edit: This review was not the one for the silver mount for 199 bucks some how my review got moved from the original item to this one. LOL If only there was a place i could get this mount for a monoprice I would order it today.
3 Stars TV Wall Mount
This wall mount is OK. Be careful to make sure this mount will hold the weight of your TV. This mount has a 165 pound limit.
3 Stars Looks great but not the stongest mount out there
As others have mentioned, the unit is very nice for the price but the arm on my mount deflected substantially after I first mounted my TV - a 42″ plasma. Once I flipped the entire mount over, I was able to correct the problem without needing a replacement.
When I flipped the mount, I was able to keep the angle of the mount relative to the wall small, so it wasn’t over extended which I think was the cause of the problem (in my case at least). Think of a right triangle, your tv as the hypotenuse (the longest side), and the wall as one of the other sides. Keep the mount pointed towards the smaller angle.
I would also recommend when mounting your tv, that you try to keep the tv centered on the mounting plate. It seems that if you slide the tv to the left or right too far that the eccentric (off-centered) weight on the arm can also cause it to deflect.
I’ve had the mount for over a year and haven’t had any further difficulties and it looks great…I’m just afraid to move it very much.
Overall, somewhat of a risky investment. It mounts easy and looks great, so if you don’t mind taking the gamble it can be a great mount for the price.
4 Stars Would buy again
I bought this mount back when it was silver for a closeout price, and I feel like I got the best possible choice for the money. Even now, at $70 more for the same thing, I would buy again if I found another 46″ LCD on the sidewalk.
It does sag a little bit, but it’s wrong to blame that on the fact that it’s less expensive than other models. That’s just plain stoopid. It sags with respect to how far away from the wall it extends, as a DIRECT result of the law of torque, not the quality or the design. It simply extends further out from the wall than other comparable models do, becuase it’s supposed to support corner mounting, which it does. Other models sag the same amount at the same distance from the wall.
You don’t need a studfinder or a magic wand to find the center of the studs. You just need a little 1/16 or 1/8 drill bit. Tap on the wall, guess where the stud is, and start poking little holes until you find the edges of the stud. That back plate is going to cover all your “experimental” pilot holes unless you’ve been drinking tequila all day and drill the wrong wall. Predrill your actual studs before tapping the lags or you’ll be sorry, the lag screws can split them if you don’t. If you think there’s a chance you have steel studs on your mounting wall, don’t buy this or any other wall mount. Buy a floorstanding model or find a realtor.
Cheetah Mounts Professional Articulating Arm Mount for LCD Displays TVs 15 24 up to 30LBS Tilt and Swivel
Posted by HDTV in Electronics Jul 13th, 2009 | No Comments
The Cheetah Mounts ALAMP Professional Articulating Arm Mount features molded aluminum arms, a rotating LCD plate to level your display, and cable mangement accent pieces to give your display a truly professional appearance. The arms extend out from the wall 14″ and collapse to 3″. This mount is available in all Black, Silver with Black Accents, and White with White accents. If you prefer a different color simply search for Cheetah Mounts to see our other models. There is even an optional color kit available offering black, silver, bronze, white, blue, red, green and yellow accent pieces. This mount will fit VESA 75×75mm and 100×100mm hole patterns and can hold up to 30lbs. Some displays up to 32″ are less than 30lbs and use a VESA 100X100mm hole pattern. However, we feel this mount is best suited for displays in the 15-24″ range. There is a larger Cheetah model, the ALAMPL, with a VESA 200×200mm (also fits 100×100mm) face plate that we recommend for displays in the 26″-37″ size range. These are well made mounts comparable to store models costing three times as much.

5 Stars Easy to use and does the job.
I am known as not being the handiest of people but instructions were clear, and it came with ALL the parts you could possibly need to install it with. Works beautifully in my desk with LCD monitor. I might even get a second for my other LCD monitor. Have no hesitation recommending it. Only thing I can see them adding would be a template to drill holes but it was was easy enough to do with out it. Can’t go wrong with this product if you are looking for simple adjustable arm. They also had very fast shipping too.
5 Stars Nicely built, east to mount, well constructed, great price.
After searching many online sources, I found the Cheetah Mount to be very reasonably priced. I needed one for my 12 pound Vizio LCD TV, so the 30 Pound rating was fine. The construction is very solid. It was easy to attach it to the wall using the supplied hardware and instructions. The arm sections have removable covers to hide the wires you run through them.
Each joint is adjustable for stiffness using a hex wrench. You can get it just right so the TV is easy to move, but doesn’t swing around too easily. Unlike many other mounts, the Cheetah mount allows the TV to be rotated to level the display side-to-side to correct for any slight sagging of the arm that may occur from the weight of the TV. I did find sagging to be almost non-existent, but I am using the arm at less than half its weight rating. If you use the arm at near its 30 pound rating, you may see more sagging, though it is quite strong and wouldn’t sag any more than other brands.
I am very happy with my Cheetah Mount and would buy from them again.
5 Stars Works fine, good price
We installed for a 15″ flatscreen tv. Picked this one because it tilts, and it’s installed fairly high up on a bedroom wall. Seems to work fine - you have to adjust with an allen wrench (provided) to lock in the angle of tilt you want - maybe that’s why the other reviewer felt their monitor was drooping. Not sure what our tv weighs, as we’ve had it a while.
1 Star Can’t hold the advertised weight
I bought these to hang a 24″ iMac on the wall. The iMac is rated at 25.4 pounds with stand and probably about a pound less without the stand. Yet when using this wall mount, the mount droops significantly. I’d be surprised if this mount can hold anything more than 15 pounds.

5 Stars Great Mount
First one I bought was 8 months ago and I just ordered another one last week. This is a real heavy duty, well made mount… but it is the only mount I have ever touched so my review pretty much sucks. I have been told the cheapies are good too though, but I’ll stick to what is personally proven to me.
5 Stars Sansus Wall Mount VMPL50
Great wall mount! I sure didnt want to spend big bucks since my Bravia was expensive enough. My friends hung the mount while I watched them and drank margaritas–sure looked easy. Only took about 20 minutes and by the time they were done I was horizontal(the tilting feature is a must-have).
5 Stars Sanus tv wall mount
I was so happy with my own tv mount that the following month I bought the exact item for my nephew who just purchased the same tv. Easy set up and I found the best price here on Amazon with free shipping…A great deal.
5 Stars Better Than Best Buy
Why buy this @ Best Buy for $150-$170. Total here @ Amazon with tax & shipping … $77 & change. It only makes sense otherwise you get ripped.
5 Stars MUST BUY!
worked like a charm on my sony 55xbr8. the box says it fits up to 56″

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.
