Digital camera Review: A $20 mount...
Summary: 4 Stars
A couple years ago when I bought my first LCD TV, I purchased a $100 mount for it. That mount is a monster. This one is not.
The construction material is certainly sturdy enough. The bars are rugged and will support the size TV for which this is designed. However, the hardware, most notably the main lag screws, while large, are easily stripped.
I put this thing directly into studs and I am sure I could probably hang off this myself. There are a few problems with the kit itself.
1) The directions are pretty horrible.
"Step1: Assemble the Wall Plate
For this model, Part K Wall Plate needs to be assembled. Take the 4 metal wall plate pices and connect them together. You will then have a larger rectangle piece that closely resembles the part illustrated above"
This doesn't tell me HOW to connect them together. It doesn't detail which way certain parts should face, which way the bolts should face, etc. While it was fairly easy for me to figure out, I am also mechanically inclined. I prefer more straightforward directions.
2) The "adjustment" doesn't really work. This thing is so close to the wall that you can't adjust the tilt of it after the TV is up. Actually, once you've attached the arm brackets to the back of your TV, you can't adjust it much. The knobs they give you have such a long turning radius that you can't turn it a lot without having the knob pushing into the back of your TV or interfereing with the actual bracket groove. Therefore, you should really adjust the angle BEFORE you put it on the TV. This is problematic since you really don't KNOW what angle you want until the TV is up. You CAN, however, very easily adjust the left-right position of the TV on the wall once you have it up, so it doesn't need to be perfectly centered when you place it. Similarly, since the mount is so close to the wall, it's really difficult to lock in the bottom screws. You really need one person to hold the TV up while another screws in the locks.
3) This is a simply-designed mount. There isn't much confusion with putting this together, even with the lackluster instructions. It also sits very close to the wall, so it saves you a lot of space if you're worried about that.
You get what you pay for. For $20, this mount is pefectly functional, sturdy enough for the size TVs you're buying it for and is very compact. I managed to put it together and install my TV on it in under an hour. If you're looking for an inexpensive wall-mount solution with no bells and whistles, this is a good mount for the price.
Digital camera Review: AWESOME MOUNT AND GREAT PRICE!

Honestly if you don't buy this mount you are an idiot. This mount is awesome and cheap. That's it. Go pay 120$ for other mounts and waste 100$ in the process. This does everything that a tilt mount needs to do. And it's only 20$, I hope these cheetah mount people are rich because they have a good product.Digital camera Review: AWESOME!

I read reviews on the Cheetah mounts before I purchased because I thought how could these little inexpensive things be comparable to the expensive mounts found in the stores? Well, let me tell you, they are! It's the best money I have spent aside from purchasing the tv! I used it to hang my 32" in my bedroom, you just need to located studs and attach the screws! Simple, easy and very affordable! No worries about the mount moving or sliding or going anywhere! The only drawback is the tilt and it's not a big deal to adjust that before you hang it on the wall. I'm more than happy with this purchase!Digital camera Review: AWESOME!!! Cheetah Mount for LCD Flat Screen TV 23-37 inches

Product arrived in just two days. Unboxed to wall mount took all of about 15 minutes, requiring a 4 bolt assembly of the wall bracket, drilling of pilot holes in the wall studs, leveling, and attaching the two brackets to the back of the TV. Wall mount came with one level attached on the top rail, (which was a bit unreliable since the rail was not totally straight when tightening down) and another level for use to true the mount up (Nice thought from the company!). Came with everything we needed EXCEPT the correct size bolts to mount the brackets to our new 32" LG LCD TV model 32LD350. No problem, the TV came with it's own bolts, and the mount kit came with washers. Together a great package deal and a great mount for any 32" flat screen! You CANNOT see this mount from anywhere around the TV!!
Really appreciated the ease of mounting the rails on the wall, then simply hanging the tv with brackets attached on the rails. Adjustment of tilt is smooth and the two bolts that hold the bottom of the TV bracket up tight to the bottom rail required a long regular screwdriver to complete the task effortlessly. All in all, no special tools required other than a drill and bit, socket wrench for the 4 wall stud screws, a small phillips and long regular screwdriver. NICELY DONE CHEETAH!!
For the price of this under $27 and free shipping, you simply cannot go wrong! Will definately use this company again when I buy my larger TV for the family room....
