great item, August 17, 2010

The mount arrived on time.

I bought this to hang my Toshiba 52″ above the fire place.

The instructions are easy to follow and any and all hardware come with the mount.

My only complaint is the mounting bracket, It could be wider.

The stud’s in the wall are wider than 18″ (non load bearing wall)

If it came with some sort of “extender” bracket then this unit would be absolutly PERFECT!.

I ended up cutting the sheetrock and added more 2×4 in the wall and put the sheet rock back.(wasn’t too bad)

Once it was mounted, I extended the arm and put my weight on it (210lbs) this thing did not budge!

Very sturdy unit, it suprised the heck out of me.

I will buy another one without hesitation as soon as I get another flat TV for my bedroom.

Hope this help’s!!!!

Great value – SOLID for mounting 40-50″ LCD’s, January 26, 2010

Don’t buy one of these from Best Buy for 0.

Don’t pay for someone to install one of these unless you can’t operate a drill.

These Cheetah mounts are great. I have one APDAM3B (newer model) & one APDAM2B. They take no more than an hour to install – and that’s with finding the studs (I would not mount one of this without standard 16″ studs), making sure everything is level, double checking your measurements, etc.

They are extremely versatile (should fit most TV’s and most homes) and very sturdy.

My LCD TV’s are 40-50 lbs, but I would have no qualms about installing a big 100 lb Plasma.

The instructions are decent, but remember they can’t account for every house and every TV.

Excellent Product!, January 16, 2010

I recently bought this Tv wallmount to hang my new 42″ Toshiba clearscan 240 LCD. I was admittedly apprehensive about hanging my tv up on the wall, but after reading the reviews on the previous model by Cheetah and hearing the lone review on the newer model of wall mount, I decided to go for the upgraded model.

I am certainly glad that I did! The build quality of this beast of a mount is high, though just like the original mount it’s fasteners are somewhat suspect, so I did what other recommended and went out and bought new bolts and jam nuts. (A tiny cost of 45cents for a few heavy duty nuts and bolts)

The assembly was straight forward, instructions easy to follow and it certainly holds up well under even my bodyweight when I tested the strength of it on the wall (didn’t budge an inch). The fact that it’s rated to hold far more then my tv’s 59pounds was certainly a major plus in my mind.

The mounts movements are fluid, easily adjusted and seady…
