i have this mount, worked very well in the bedroom for the 42'' plasma. well the angling, not so much... the tightening of the arms doesn't work all that well. but the TV is still up, so all good ;)

:thanks:

I updated the OP.

In for 1. Thanks OP!

Ive got two TVs in the house mounted with this very mount. Theyve been up for three years now and have been perfect. Def the best mounts for so cheap!

Good price on a good mount

too bad . selma is not the OP

Had a need for a mount and . . . presto! Thanks OP!

got it thanks... had $2.50 in ebay bucks sitting in my account to bump!

Great deal! Done

Just installed this on my 55 LED. Holds great with wall studs. Very sturdy. Just make sure you do not tighten the tilting screws too much!

I was JUST looking at mounts too. Was looking at Monoprice, but then came to this one on Amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/Cheetah-Art...=pd_cp_e_0

This will be my first mount, for a 64" TV.

Question for those with previous TV mount experience...once you mount it, I've seen the more expensive mounts allow you to slide the TV left to right within the rails, if you are trying to center it within a particular space. I am assuming with these mounts, you'd use the tilt to somewhat align your TV is you want to center it with a couch, for example.

just a friendly reminder that the groupon goods deal on this item... still hasn't arrived yet... and that deal was over a month ago...



too bad this is coming from a notoriously horrible seller... I'll wait till this mount is $15 from a reliable seller

Is this the same mount for $40? [ebay.com] Maybe you can save yourself $30.

nope, slightly different with a different model number vs the Amazon one.

From the Amazon review:

Based on this info, I pulled the trigger.

includes an HDMI..........score

Did they remove HDMI from the auction page? Right when I was about to checkout it said "Seller has updated the listing"

About to buy, but I don't see anything on the ebay site about the HDMI cable.. Still good for the mount.

Was just about to order this from amazon last night. Lol. Glad I waited. In for one, thanks OP.

I'm looking for a corner articulating mount. I pretty much want to mount my 50" panny in the corner and be able to move it up-down, left-right, tilt; any suggestions?

This was on group for 20 bucks a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah... "tilt" is simply the ability to lean the top of the screen toward you. So you can line it up with your viewing angle (like, say, lying on your bed) and/or reduce glare from lights/sun.

This style of mount allows you to slide it left/right a few inches to "center" it as you describe. How far depends on how much space you consume between the vertical hangers. In other words, the left and right vertical hangers limit your left/right travel.

In my experience with 32 - 60" screens... its been between 6 - 4 inches either direction.

Initially, I was looking at this, which seems to allow horizontal travel within the rails
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/OmniM...&cp=1&lp=1

Agree that Tilt bracket does not work well if you don't want to tilt
 

I second your comment, especially the piece about the tilt not working well. On mine, I did not want any tilt, but if I tightened the holding screws too much, the plastic rail inserts that are supposed to hold it tight actually buckle inward and it falls forward and tilts. If I don't tighten it enough, obviously the weight of the TV causes it to tilt.

I solved the problem by inserting an extra nut/bolt into the gap so that it cannot tilt forward because the extra bolt is filling the slot. It still tilts a tiny bit, but it's acceptable.

Gotcha. That one probably allows more travel because the footprint (train on the rail) is not as wide as the vertical rails would be on the OP mount. But, same effect.

My suggestion would be to find your two studs and see how far off from your desired center point that would put your mount. If its 2 or 3 inches off to one side or the other... you'll be good with the OP mount.

Hopefully that makes sense.

All that said... there's some really heavy-duty sheetrock anchors at Lowe's/HDepot these days. If you can hit one stud with the lag bolts and you don't plan on using the mount for chin-ups... you'll be fine using stout sheetrock anchors to add some more support/stability.

any reason why this wouldn't work for a 70"? as long as it weighs less than the max it's rated for? is it because the attachments might not go far enough apart to connect to a 70" tv? I though it's all standard hole patterns.

Thanks, will start figuring out stud location and if the swivel range is sufficient to center the TV to my likings.

I did this with my 55". I installed it and could slide the TV while mounted left or right to line up with my ceiling fan and bed.

My thoughts are as long as it is within the VESA mount pattern and weight limit, will probably work.

It will probably work but you should break out the tape measure and compare your screen holes to the mount specs on the Amazon link someone posted earlier. Older plasmas (as one example) have a much wider mount pattern than current LCD panels. If the holes and weight are good... go for it.

Does anyone have any first hand advice on mounting this with a 40" LCD on a wall with metal studs?

I tried a few years ago with a smaller TV with a mount that only attached to one stud and the whole piece of sheetrock started to bow out. I quickly changed my mind and put the TV back on the dresser.

I'm planning now on hitting 2 studs and using toggle bolts with this mount.


TIA

Hi guys!

I bought a tv stand from a friend but it did not come with the tv mount part.. I've linked a picture to show what part it did not come with, the rest of the stand is there.

Will this wall mount work with my tv stand?

http://i.imgur.com/spfuH.jpg - the tv stand i currently have, the part circled in red is what i do not have.

Moving a 50" "up-down" is not something I can speak to...

But I've got a 47" Panasonic (LED) on this one and it gives me all the in-out, left-right and tilt I want. Very sturdy.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/...02_s01_i00

this item is BNIB though. most neg feedback seems to be for electronics items or similar things

i dont have a big TV yet, but i may buy one and keep it in a closet for in the future when we get a 40-50 inch TV

So what's the final word on it from people who own it? Is this a good quality mount? Seems to be some conflicting reports ITT

I've always wondered questions like that until I thought, "Is risking my beautiful TV over a few dollars really worth that risk?" To me, the answer is no.

I agree this is a great deal, but I'd rather have a TV that doesn't potentially fall off of the wall unexpectedly.

And also FYI, the screw hole widths are sometimes different depending on the mount and size (e.g. the diameter for the screws used for a 70" is greater than that of a 42" - and yes I realize that this doesn't have to be the case) and smaller screws APPEAR to work in the larger holes when they actually don't. I have had this happen before and luckily caught it before finishing the install, but that'd be another concern of mine.

I'm using this mount for my 55" LED, and it works great.

Yes, you can move it side to side a fair amount (~6-8", for me, 16" studs). The tilt works great for me, but I only tilted it a tiny bit. Install is easy, and is rock solid so far. Had it up for about 1 month.

Comes with good hardware and beefy lag screws.

Ahh what the heII. In 4 1. Dunno what to do yet.. maybe hanging my 24" PC monitor inside bathroom LOL

Why not use it to mount your main TV on? At least that's what I plan on doing with it

i don't get it. i realize this is slickdeals and i also realize this thing has decent reviews, but why would you trust a $1000+ TV to a $15 mount? Especially if you have young kids...

For $15... I'd try it. Based on the two pictures... it looks like you're a trip to Lowe's and $2 worth of bolts and nuts away from success. Now... that's assuming you are handy.

There are 1400 reviews of the model on Amazon with 4.5 stars. Just because the thing is lower priced doesn't mean it's trash. It's like buying Monster cables because your $1000 TV is too good for $2 HDMI cables.

reviews on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Cheetah-Mou...roduct_top
.. in for one.. thx

I nominate this as the dumbest post of the day.

Why would you trust $10 brake pads on a $20k car, especially when you have young kids riding in there?

Why would I trust a $1 toothbrush when there are much more expensive models, and gingivitis is no joke.

Big-name companies love people like you. Fear makes for a handsome profit.

same here. got one also. hopefully there is no issue hooking it up to my current tv stand :)

Just ordered two, for my 55" and 37". Now I just gotta find a shelve that mounts to the wall too, to hide all the wires, and that I can place the cable box onto.

Not sure what was changed, but hope they aren't holding back the HDMI cable ...

Arrghh! Literally just bought this mount on Amazon for $27.99 on Sunday. Good thing Amazon is easy to return to...

In for one. Will sit in the garage until I find a good price on a large, good quality 40-60 inch TV.

For what it's worth, I bought this several months ago from this seller on eBay (saw a post right here on SD), and it DID come with a fancy blue and black colored HDMI cable.

But poster is right - it's not shown in the eBay picture, so can't be sure this time around.

Maybe it was the dumbest post but that was only until you posted. First of all, i don't trust $10 brake pads on a $20k car (which is actually very cheap for a car, so your example would have worked better with a $50k bmw for example). As for dental care, that's just a stupid example because you don't expect one toothbrush to (literally) hold up for years - like a TV mount maybe? Finally, for people saying just cuz it's $15 doesn't mean it's not good quality, well i hate to say it but "you get what you pay for." That's not just a lame saying, it's actually true in most cases.

The thing has 1,500 reviews on Amazon and has 4.5 stars. What the **** else do you want? If you don't want it, don't buy it and don't come in this thread.

I already have this exact model, and it is a quality product. I was about to buy another one at full retail from Amazon... Perfect timing, Slickdeals!

It takes a village (or something like that) and I heart both of you. But... "gingivitis is no joke" sent my Coke Zero out my nose. You gotta admit, that's rich.

Deals with a side-order of grown-ups lobbing "your momma" grenades at each other. There's no place like SD.

I was about to pull the trigger but there has been complaints regarding defective parts coming in every once in a while, not sure if I want to risk it, if I'm spending over $500 on a TV I'd rather play it safe with maybe a $40 bracket from monoprice

Why be on Slickdeals? You apparently have above average means and you only buy name brand. Buying based on the reputation of a brand alone is a foolish thing to do. Even within a brand there are differences in quality among models. This is the reason for doing research and looking at ratings and feedback. To write something off as inferior based solely on price is ignorance.

Probably fine for a 40"-ish bedroom tv, and thumbs up for that. But no way in hell am I hanging my 60" Sony LED HDTV on this this.

If you have an expensive or large tv please overlook this mount and go with monoprice. The quality of the product and materials used are WORLDS apart and the price difference is negligible.

$15? I bet it costs that much just to ship it.

Got one. Thanx!

I don't understand. How is this mount good for a cheap TV but bad for a more expensive one? What, like it's good for a cheaper one because it's cheap to replace if the TV falls off?

Because they think if the mount costs more it's instantly of superior design/materials.

Yup. $15 mount drops a $400 TV is not a good thing. But if a $15 mount drops a $2500 TV... WHY THE HELL DID I USE A $15 MOUNT MOTHERF*CKER.... and leads to a gunshot in the head. Or murder/suicide. Either way gunplay is involved.

Hanging a 20lbs TV vs a 100lbs+ TV makes a difference. A little peace of mind is all I'm talking about.

Again, it just doesn't make sense. So you'd be fine with a $400 TV falling on the ground? If I was buying a mount, I would want one that would hold up whatever TV I have.

This thing has 1,500 reviews on Amazon, 4.5 average, and has a 30 inch range and 165 pound limit. I don't see how you can get much better, at any price

I have both this one and monoprice(competing models, so comparing apples to apples here)...for the money this mount doesn't compare in the slightest bit to the monoprice mount.
Point being, for a bit more money you can have peace of mind if you are hanging a heavier TV, bigger TV, more expensive TV...whichever it is, doesn't matter. The product values are worlds apart.

how much would you expect to pay for a formed piece of steel?

How people here hide the cable behind the wall? Do you use something like this?

http://www.amazon.com/DataComm-45...001C4BEOY/

I am just wondering how can i add cables.. How the lower part catch the cable with such a small opening.

most people just leave a hole in the wall, if they are trying to hide it.

I was going to say the same thing...why the hell are you on slickdeals. If a vendor wants to clear inventory, they lower the price. Obviously the same model is selling on Amazon at a higher price....SAME MODEL, so that makes Amazon the better place to buy this mount for folks like YOU? :facepalm2:

I think your BMW is calling you for a $100 oil change, cause those $20 deal oil change would just wreak havoc to your car and your wallet :thumbdow:

I dont think the order comes with the HDMI cable since it is not mentioned in the ebay listing. Besides, the seller has over 8300 quantity available as of 3:10 pm, and over 1000 sets have been sold within today and still selling....

Same idea here. Using Fedex Home or UPS Ground to ship this product from FL to CA would have cost at least $12-14 already, plus seller has to pay for ebay and paypal fees.

Monoprice has several mounts with articulating arms. Many are rated at 125lbs but there's one beefy one rated to 300lbs (!).

- Huge eBay store
- Bought THOUSANDS of these mounts (already sold close to 2,000, probably bought ten thousand)

They probably got an amazing bulk deal on the mounts (like a few bucks each) and get a huge, huge shipping discount because of the volume they put out.

wow, i dont even have a TV besides the 60" sony in living room. but because the price is so tempting and SD made it even more i jumped the gun and bought it for future use. damn u SD!!!! u make me go into debt, not even just broke.

Thank you! Repped. I'd write more, but you guys scare me. :)

I nominate you as the biggest troll of the day. There are differences in quality that some people won't trust their expensive tvs to. Sure some big companies have too much profit built in and some Chinese knock-offs are total crap. It doesn't make either one worse than the other. Just like motorcycle helmets, they all "work", but there is a difference between Snell and DOT ratings. Hope you never wreck in that flea market helmet.

Link to a good suggestion?

2531 sold so far according to ebay, and it seems like they are selling about 3 more every 10 seconds. It's kinda fun to keep hitting refresh and watching how many they are selling, I imagine it will take them a while to get these all shipped out. I picked up 2

Do not buy this mount for that large of a TV. I bought two of these last time around. They are garbage. One worked fine with my 40" TCL, but for my heavier 37" Olevia VESA mount, it won't stay flush to the wall. It falls to maximum tilt. The metal is garbage, and bows with the weight. Pay the extra few dollars and get a monoprice mount. The metal is probably 2x as thick, and makes mounting so much easier because there is no "give", the the built in level actually works. The HDMI cable is worth $1. Big deal.

I wouldn't pay $5 for this setup this time around. It's a garbage mount. Period. Regardless of what other reviews say. I have both Monoprice mounts, and two of these. Go Monoprice.

The one in my link is meant to hold more weight than the one in this deal. And the monoprice comparison I was looking at was this, which is $30 more
http://www.monoprice.com/products...1&format=2

Any links to comparable mounts in price at monoprice?

I have a 46 Samsung LED on this mount. Planning to mount my 60" LG plasma weighing approximately 90lbs on this. I think it is OK as long as you bolt it properly on a stud. I am more concern on the mount falling from the wall than the TV falling from the mount.

$15 shipping included? not likely.

More than $15 if it is going to hold 100lbs+ straight up. Hell it should cost that much to ship it.

Edit - yeah this one looks good to me (Thanks Blackblaze) : http://www.monoprice.com/products...1&format=2

I think they initially have about 10k in stock. Within 12 hours, over 2000 units are sold.

Anyone know if it indeed actually comes with an HDMI cable?

I have a 51" Samsung plasma, but I'm scared...

I just got my Cheetah Mounts(same model) that I bought from Groupon after 3 and half weeks since i purchased it. The metal was okay. I haven't intall it up yet coz I'm also waiting for my wall-mount shelf expecting to arrive today. So far, it came with HDMI...

then get a professional to do the install, as the premium you pay will take care of that fear

They literally changed the price after I ordered my first one. (2x orders for different homes). When I went to buy the other set it went up to 20.

I've got this mounted on a 55 samsung and have no issues with stability or quality. I would say it is a great price for a mount, but owners need to determine cord access for such mounts.

I am much happier with the cheetah I got that extends out on another tv. If you don't have your cables setup exactly right from the start, it is extremely hard to get your hands behind to adjust (Samsung models).

Had no idea these could be so inexpensive - with great reviews I had to order one.

Does the tilt mean up/down or left/right? Btw it's only $18, but no HDMI.

I received my 2 yesterday. There were no HDMI cables nor a level included.

Did you ever get that 60" LG mounted on this mount?? If so how has it been holding up?? Just asking because I ordered this deal, and finally ordered my 60" LG for it last night..

Unfortunately not yet since I need to put an in-wall speaker wire first and powerbridge. I can not find a time to do it.

Anybody else not get the HDMI cable and leveler?...
