CHEETAH MOUNTS PLASMA LCD TV ARTICULATING DUAL ARM WALL MOUNT FOR 32-63″ DISPLAYS UP TO 180LBS BLACK
This is a very substantial mount with Dual arms and nearly 40lbs of steel. The arms extend a Full 27″ from the wall yet fold to less than 4. 75″. Even at full extension, this mount has very little sag or twist. It is rated for up to 180lbs and most displays 52″ and smaller weigh under 100lbs. The unit has 4 tilt adjustment knobs and two tilt adjustment screws and it will tilt forward or back 15 degrees. The wall plate has wide slots making it easy to mount into standard 16″ studs even if they are not exactly 16″ apart. The dual arms fold outward and are 34″ wide when then pushed all the way against the wall. Thus, the arms may be visible on the sides of 32″ units. The universal design will fit any display with a hole pattern up to 26. 3″ wide and 18″ tall. The wall plate is 1/8″ thick and very stable and includes a large center hole for cable pass-though into the wall. This mount will swivel approximately 150 degrees depending on the size of your display. A safety bar is in…more

I bought a 50″ Plasma and decided it would be best on my wall. I went looking through stores and found higher prices than this one and bulkier designs. I love the articulating arms!! I can pull it away from the wall to access the wires, etc. and adjust the left to right tilt for best viewing. It seems very sturdy and has worked great for me the last six months. It was easy enough to mount to the wall but if you are not good with tools seek experienced assistance. You will need someone to hold it up for you unless you are good at this sort of thing. The hardest part was hanging the TV and that was only due to the weight of it. Note: Make sure you have wall studs with 16″ centers if mounting to drywall!! I bought it not realizing I had 24″ centers on that one wall. This caused me to mount it to a steel plate so it could get anchored to the studs (The 50″ TV weighed 125lbs!!)

Bought this mount for a Samsung LN46A750 46-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color also purchased at Amazon. I was impressed with the sheer weight of this mount as it weighs nearly as much as the TV I mounted to it. It left me with the impression it could hold what it claims (165 lbs. ). I weigh around 260 lbs. and leaned heavily on the empty mount after I put it on the wall (before attaching TV) and it didn’t budge. Its appearance is somewhat stylish for what it is. I have it tilted out fairly well so there is quite a bit showing to any who enter the room, yet it blends w/ the back of the TV and looks professional. The instructions were a bit flaky, but it got the point across as I was able to mount it and this was the first time I have installed a wall mount. Although, I do consider myself fairly intelligent and do DIY stuff all the time so I’m not new to such things. The range of movement is awesome. . . this thing will move any which way you try and with a fair amount of ease. I didn’t mess with any “settings” as the instructions didn’t say much about any of the levers on it. It did what I wanted by default. Altogether a good buy and I recommend this mount to anyone.

This mount is heavy at 38lbs and seems sturdy, but the mounting bolts, bushing, rods and hardware are of extreme poor quality. The machining and fit and finish is also poor. I mounted a 58″ Plasma TV weighing 138 lbs and there was so much twist and sag that I was concerned that the mount would hold my TV. One of the pivot rods and bushing even fell out while the TV was sitting on the bracket because the rod was too short and only about one thread was holding. The dual pivot arms is a good design and I liked the way it can be pulled out from the wall to get to cables. So, I went to the hardware store and purchased new bolt and some washers to rebuild the mount using solid hardware. This worked out well and reduced the sag and twist to almost nothing. Another problem was the tilt feature. It is very difficult and get the center bolt and the 2 adjustment knobs tight enought to prevent the TV from slipping and tilting fully down. I would only recommed this mount for smaller TVs or for someone that wants to replace the mounting hardware.

Great Mount and Works Well
I purchased this mount for my 52 Inch Sony LCD. It looks good, mounts easily and works well. You will not find a mount for the money to compare anywhere.

Very good and effective product!!
I read the reviews about the problems some encountered while installing this mount and was a little hesitant to purchase at first. But the price convinced me other wise.

Solid mount, not perfect.
This is a nice, solid mount. However, when it arrived the plastic tilt adjustment knobs (4) were broken into many little pieces.

Mount performs PERFECTLY!
Just exactly as intended. Strong. well built, flexible and an ideal example of really good product engineering. A real “BULL-DOG” of a product.

Decent articulating mount for the money
We purchased three Cheetah mounts for displays up to 180 lbs for our new home, to be paired with two 52″ Samsung displays and one 46″ display.

Simple and Sturdy
Excellent with my 52″ Samsung. A bit of a struggle to mount, but very solid and works very well.

Sturdy mount……..tilt issues
I have a 50″ Samsung plasma that weighs just over 80 pounds, so the specs are well within the range of this mount.

Great TV mount
I have been looking at TV mounts everywhere for a while and just didnt want to spend $500 for a TV mount. I was a little nervous when I bought it but this mount is solid.

Actually a 4.5 out of 5…
I recently purchased a new 42″ plasma TV for my living room: the Panasonic TC-P42X1. I bought the TV with the intention of hanging it above my fire place, but was shocked to find…
