I hate to nitpick, but if you’re going to include 2!! pictures advertising a free level then you’d better deliver it along with the mount. Mine did not come with the level. The level that was built in to the mount was OFF also. I had to use a “real” level of mine from Home Depot. Everyone should just ignore the built in one. But the mount itself is not bad at all! I used the first mount to mount our 46″ Samsung 650 series LCD. I’m on here buying a 2nd one now for our 50″ Samsung 650 plasma because I thought this was one of the best mount deals around. There is another Cheetah APTMMB mount listed for $10 more and does not include the level. I do not know why anyone is buying that one instead of this. This one claims an added 10 pounds of support for a total possible weight of 160 pounds. That’s pretty darn heavy considering our 50″ plasma is only 86 pounds. I would recommend this to EVERYONE, just don’t expect to get a free level and make sure to ignore the built in one. It’s still worth it.

Excellent Bargain!
This was a great bargain. Can’t believe it only cost $25 and supports up to 55inches. Only took few hours from opening the box to watching a movie after completion.

Awesome Product backed by a GREAT Company
My Television is up in a tight over the fireplace cove, and it looks awesome! The item arrived promptly, and before estimated arrival time, which is always a good thing…

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.

The Cheetah mount is an incredible value. The mount is amazingly sturdy and very well built. It took me about 30 minutes to assemble the parts out of the box. Then another hour to mount the TV to the brick above our fireplace. I used 4 Quicktap blue masonry anchors to attach the mount to the wall, and it is so secure I could probably hang from the TV itself. I was also pleased to find that the mount included all of the hardware (bolts, washers, spacers) that you would need to mount almost any VESA compatible flat panel. Our TV is a 52 inch Samsung (750 series) and the bolts I needed were included. Overall, a great buy.

Decent mount but install was frustrating
First I had read the reviews on the mount and the level. When I ordered I didn’t realize there was a free additional level included so that was a nice surprise.

Excellent Product and Price
I purchased two of these mounts for a 32 and 36 Inch LCD TV. They both mounted well, look great and work flawlessly. You will not find anything better for the money.

Great mount and only a fraction of the price!
This mount is wonderful. It was easy to install and holds my TV on the wall with no problems. Don’t be fooled by the price tag.

Why pay more for a mount?
You COULD spend $200 on a TV mount, but why? This mount is all you need. Super easy to assemble, fits a LOT of different brands and displays, and supports more weight that it…

Great mount for a Great Price
First of all, I’m assuming if you’re shopping for a TV mount you have your own tools and some basic tool skills.

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.
