User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Solid frame – good price – missing parts – really bad instructions
PROS
- It has a solid, well built, frame. Sturdy powder coated metal that looks and feels of a better quality than the price makes you expect.
- Mounted right: There will be no fear that your TV will tumble.
- The price
CONS
- The bolts/screws appear to be provided somewhat at random. Mine was missing washers and the parts bag was actually ripped open before I opened the box. I had suitable replacements in the garage, or they could probably be purchased for $1 at a local hardware store…not a big deal, but it could be a nuisance.
- Instructions are comically bad. Not a big issue, because you really shouldn’t need them.
CONCLUSION
At a discounted price – this is a good deal.
5 Stars Best bang for your buck!!
I’ve never written a review on here but I had to for this product. It’s the best $20 bucks I ever spent. It was easy to assemble and came with all the screws and even a level, although I trusted mine more after I tested them against each other. I hung a 54″ panasonic from it with no problem. I was only able to use one stud but then used the two toggle bolts supplied and I hung from it for a few seconds to test it and it wasn’t going anywhere. I weigh 155. The only thing I really had to adjust were the two screws with the little slip bar . When fully tightened they stuck straight out. Just loosen them and push them out turn them just a little and then retighten them and they work perfectly and lay flat. The mount is also much lower profile than I expected. You really have to sideline it to see the brackets. I was able to run the wires easily in the wall and my tv looks awesome up on the wall now. Seriously, why spend so much on these mounts. Paying over a hundred bucks is just a scam.
5 Stars I was skeptical…
I took a chance, against my better judgment. I asked myself how can a $25 mount compare to a $300 mount? I have 2 girls and I would totally shoot myself if my 52″ Sony Bravia (W series) ever fell on one of them. Well, I got this mount and I was already impressed. It is made of this extremely dense, slightly bumpy, but smooth to the touch metal. I mounted the first part to the wall and had my dad, who has owned his own construction company, to test it out. He approved by hanging his 180 lb body from it.
I did have to take a trip to Lowes because the screws to the TV were too long (20 thread). I bought 16 thread and added 2 lock washers, per screw, that already came with the mount. I also spent $30 on a good stud center finder because I wasn’t going to mess around.
I feel very confident with this mount and I am very happy to have saved a bunch of money. If you buy this mount, just take your time, watch a few you tube videos about hanging a TV, and use common sense.
5 Stars A fine mount at a reasonable price!
Mine was shipped quickly, arrived undamaged with all the parts required and the free level. From unpack to turning on the TV took a couple hours, but much of that was gathering tools and measuring numerous times to ensure correct TV position.
Assembly instructions: It would have been better if they had provided detail about bolting the vertical struts to the cross members. The bolt holes in the struts are not identically positioned – is there a top and bottom? Does the inside angle of the ‘L’ face the inside or the outside? Does it matter? Maybe it doesn’t matter, but a detailed picture of one of the corners would put the assembler at ease.
The package includes some nice lag bolts, a wall stud finder helps with placement, get those bolts into some studs and the frame will be going nowhere. The steel is plenty sturdy for the rated weight range. The package also included screws that fit my Samsung TV.
I suggest that people wanting the TV to be vertical adjust the tilt before hanging the TV, once it’s on the wall there isn’t much room to tighten the tilt clamps when you get near vertical.
Summary: Plenty sturdy, easy to to assemble, easy to install, and a fraction of the price of comparable units at the local electronics store. This one is a bargain!
5 Stars Holds a 46″ LCD display with no problems – Great value
I was surprised at how easily this went together and how solid it is given the price. The frame is four pieces and once you put them together they are together. Once they are on the wall nothing is moving anyway.
To put it together and mount your TV you will want to use your own level if you have one, although this (Black & Decker BDL310S Projected Crossfire Auto Level Laser) is *much* better, and also a tape measure, socket set, pencil, and refreshing beverage for when you’re done. That should be between 30 minutes and an hour from when you start. I was able to do everything myself and it’s even easier if you have someone to help you hook the display to the frame.
If all you want to do is bolt your TV to your wall (and maybe tilt it down a bit) I can’t see any reason to get something else.

5 Stars Easy to install & secure wall mount
This is a great product, was very easy to install and the hardware was definitely substantial, assuring since the television is so expensive. I was nervous about hanging my tv on the wall but once I secured the mount into studs, I knew it was secure. Placement of the TV onto the mount is very easy and the tilting feature is nice as well. The only thing was the instructions on placing the mount on the wall were a little off with my TV so it ended up too high on the wall, but it was easily moved lower and in the perfect spot. Highly recommended.
5 Stars Very easy to install
I highly recommend this product. It was very easy to install, and bolted to my 42″ Panasonic Viera plasma with the included hardware. There is a bunch of different hardware and washer/spacers for a lot of different TV’s. They have a web site that you can check. Spend the money on a good stud finder so you can hit the middle of the stud with the mounting bolts. The tilt is a nice feature for the bedroom.
5 Stars Correct site for specific hardware install
The install for the Peerless ST650P went well. The website given in the instructions for determining the correct screws for your specific flatscreen was incorrect. Peerless has a great online chat help site, and I was given the correct website: http://www.peerlessmounts.com/pcattachments/COMPATIBILIT-202-9082-1-16.PDF
I also was concerned about the tilt mechanism not working before I raised the TV up. Again, the helpline was great and I was told the mechanism required the weight of the tv before it works. Bingo! Once up, the mount tilted as detailed.
I was lucky enough that the mount was able to be centered where I wanted it. Yes, you can slide the attachment horizontally, but if you have a 32in like I did, the support bracket would probably be exposed if you had to move it to far.
5 Stars Great product! Easy install
This is a great product that came in just 2 days of my order! Comes with easy instruction right out of hte box.
5 Stars Works like a $300 one you would get from a box store
Used this wall mount with a Samsung LN46a550 model. I did notice when I received the box it looked like it was open before, didnt pay to much attention, till I got to the part where it called for a long screw driver/tool it came with to lock in the panel into place. No big deal since I had my own.
I selected this mount becuase I knew I was going to have multi connections and didnt feel like making it harder to mount my TV with a flush wall mount. I was able to connect a coxal, 2 component, and 1 HDMI cable with no problems.
My sister needs to mount her Sammy next, I would deff go with Peerless again!

4 Stars Worth the money
I bought my second Panasonic Plasma after about 8 months of using my first (and after my 15yr old Sony 25″ started acting up). For my first Plasma I had purchased a $70 wall mount. Since I was mounting to brick fire place, I wanted a good quality mount. I was pleased with it. For my new purchase it was going up on wallboard/wood studs. I came across the Cheetah, read the reviews and decided to take a chance.
The mount came with all hardware. Instructions are sparse. Luckily I’m a mechanical engineer so I really didn’t need them anyway. The thing is flimsy and not nearly as sturdy as my first mount. It is made out of stamped sheet metal. If you like high quality construction I wouldn’t recommend it. Since as far as I’m concerned as long as it stays up, and holds my 60lb TV, then I really didn’t care. I hung the bracket and tested it with my body weight. It held, so it has at least a 3x design margin on overload. With that test complete, I felt confident my TV would not come off in anything less than a 7.0 earthquake.
I recommend this for anyone looking for a low cost mount that is easy to install.
One word of caution. My bracket came with a level embedded in it. It was obvious that the machined hole where the level was placed was NOT square with the edge of the frame. They also packed a separate level with the unit (shown in picture). USE THE SEPARATE LEVEL!!! I suspect they had A LOT of complaints about the embedded level. DO NOT USE IT or you will be drilling 2 sets of holes in your wall (the second AFTER you figure out the the level is a piece of garbage).
5 Stars Small Price Big Value
Bought this mount based on the other reviews out there and the fact that I don’t like paying ridiculous prices for things that you can get much cheaper with the same quality. This mount was very easy to install (4 screws in the wall, 4 screws in the tv and you are hanging). The screws for my tv were included Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color. It is very sturdy (I think the wall screws are a bit overkill but get the job done) and the tv hangs nicely. Plenty of room for cables out the back. One recomendation is to tighten the tilt bracket most of the way to where you want it before hanging the tv. It gets pretty tight once the tv is up there and is a little difficult to tighten this piece at that point. Like the other reviewers, I ditched the included “level” and used a real one. One other note is that if you hang the tv and it is slightly crooked, the brackets on the back of the tv have some wiggle room so you can move one or the other slighltly up or down within the precut holes for minute adjustments. Overall, very satisfied. Great product.
5 Stars Great value, slight adjustment needed
It’s probably nitpicking but I had to make some repeated adjustments to get this perfectly level with the TV. Most likely it’s slight variations in the TV and the mount and how the bolts were laying but it did take me 6 tries to get the TV perfectly level. The TV in question is a Panasonic plasma, 54″ Viera G10.
That said … the product is great. Very strong, well made, tilts nicely, very narrow to the wall – as narrow as possible I think and still allow for tilting and connecting.
The product has a built in level, which is accurate, the TV was only 1/16″ off when I was done … but enought to fiddle with.
The product came with a generous amount of hardware to fit all typical TV mountings and I was able to quickly pick the hardware I needed. The TV is infinitely adjustable left and right, so with a little masking tape as a marker, it was easy to perfectly center the TV each time I took it off to adjust it slightly. In addition the putting on and taking off was very easy with all structural elements aligning as they should.
Fit and finish are nice, powder coating has no issues, tilt adjust hardware is nicely chromed and works well. Overall a great product.
5 Stars Best bang for the buck!!
Absolutely the best TV mount for the buck!! It was easy to install and fit my 52″ Sony Bravia perfectly!! Sony wanted $299. for their mount. I’m so glad I looked here before buying their’s, this mount works just as well as the Sony mount. Don’t be fooled into buying a high priced mount from your TV manufacturer, this mount is just as good, for a fraction of the cost!!!
1 Star Was Very Disappointed but now I am satisfied
I received my package in horrible shape. Upon examining the box I noticed that it was double taped, meaning it must have been opened previously and then returned (who knows why) and repackaged very poorly, and from my bad luck I am the one to get this defective box. I feel very bad, because the reason I bought this item is because it is rated highly by other users.
I feel cheated and deceived. Will never buy from this merchant ever again.
Shame on them for not doing the proper thing and shipping me a new unopened box, or at least a box in good condition.

This company’s customer service called me this morning, and after their fair and quick help, I am now satisfied with this order. I like how this company stands behind their products and help their customers.

5 Stars excellent mount
Excellent mount for small LCD TVs. Fit the Vizio 22″ perfectly. Had it mounted on the wall in 15 minutes. Built in level makes it easy and all necessary hardware was included. Addition of stud finder is also nice. Well built mount with a nice clean finish on it.
5 Stars Flexible wall mount for flat panel TV
I had purchased the next larger version of this mount for a larger TV and was very pleased with the product. It is of quality construction, easy to follow instructions (even include an electroinc stud locater in the package)and at a really great price.
3 Stars Good wall mount but….
This is a nice solid wall mount but I was expecting to be able to use it on my vesa 200X200 tv (a Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L32X1)…the product info states vesa 75,100 and 200…but the 200 is only 200X100 not 200X200! The screws for attaching the mount to the TV were too small. All the other details are correct and it is a nice mount, just not for this TV.
