Cheetah Mounts 32-65" Tilting TV Wall Mount Bracket (APTMM2B) + HDMI Cable $15 + Free Shipping (expired)

Quote from assaf : 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.

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?

Quote from BuckeyeRideR : 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?

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.

Quote from jjj444yes : too bad this is coming from a notoriously horrible seller... I'll wait till this mount is $15 from a reliable seller

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.

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.
