5 Stars Quality item at a great price
I ordered this to hold a 40″ LCD for the corner of our bedroom. The product quality was top notch and the Amazon price was fantastic.
4 Stars Good Product
I had a LCD TV that didn’t conform to the Standard Mounting and A sheet rock wall that wouldn’t support the TV and this allong with the universal connecter made a perfect fit. It was relatively easy to use … suggestion connect the bottom before screwing in the top …
5 Stars Great for DIY mounting
This mount is great for women or beginner DIY projects. It went in easy without any extra parts needed.
5 Stars you won’t believe till you see it!
Though mine was modified a little bit by increasing the lenght of the tube, all I can tell is that this little monster holds my AKAI 40″ LCD in the air with ease. It takes 2 people to carry my LCD but it only takes 1 vantage point ceiling mount to lift my LCD tv in the air with total confidence and assured safety. Just read and follow the istructions on mounting this thing and you’ll never have problem installing it.
My TV is hanging good in my corner area down in my living room and a lot of people noticed what I did and they thought it was intalled by a PRO and I said NO. I said it’s this vantage point celing mount that made this magic. It could swivel any angles I like from side to side and up or down. But for safety reason, tilting up or down needs to be adjusted using a hex tool but no worries, for as long as my kids or anybody is safe with my TV on TOP, I’m satisfied.
Thanks to this product, I could watch TV in any corners of my living room with ease!
5 Stars Great mount
I would and will buy again. Simple to install and use. No adapter plates needed,GREAT. The only thing I would change is some wording in the instructions.

5 Stars Will buy again
Sturdy, good design, easy to install. I’m using it with a 22″ monitor and it holds it very well in place. Has swivel feature so it’s always well leveled in the horizontal position. The color is solid black. I also mounted it on a concrete wall. I used the enclosed concrete screws. I was going to built my own using a satilite dish mount, but for under $100 I’m really glad I bought this. The quality is very good. I have it mounted on the west wall. I face the south wall. I extend it out all the way and the center of my monitor is 17.5″ away from the west wall.
5 Stars exceeded expectations
Excellent bracket. Very solid, well designed and durable. Easy to install with instructions that far exceed what you expect to find these days. I looked a long time at various products trying to find something for my unique situation. The great flexibility of this one filled my needs and then some. Only negative is that the Amazon photo does not properly show the bracket that connects to the TV. Don’t worry; it’s nonconsequential, but the actual bracket is much more aesthetically pleasing.
5 Stars Excellent Item – Exactly what we needed.
Easy to install and worked perfectly for what we needed. Extended out be 17″ from the wall and is able to turn corners. I bought a different one before this and it was way too short even though it said 17″. Bought this one and it was great. Recommended get it.
5 Stars High Quality Product
I am using this arm to mount a 19″ Samsung LCD HDTV on the wall in my home gym. This arm is very well built, sturdy, and nicely finished. There is absolutely no wobble in it either despite the weight of the TV. The mounting holes line up perfectly and two are slotted so you can hook the TV on while the arm holds the weight you can tighten the mounting screws. There is just enough friction in the hinges and pivots to keept he TV in one place and yet they are smooth enough to make adjustments easy. There are no special knobs to turn or anything. As far as the finish it is a baked on powder coat and looks great. Overall, I think this is a high quality product and I would purchase it again.
I bought the black one as most TVs today are black.
5 Stars worth every penny
You’ll pay a bit more for this LCD mount system but it is worth it. I bought one for my LCD TV and liked it so much that I bought another for my LCD Display. This one is a piece of cake to mount. I stud-mounted mine and used a slightly larger drill bit than recommended so it would be easier to put the screws in. I’m not sure it’s possible to get the screws in with the bit size suggested in the instructions. Anyway, they are in solid and secure.
Mounting the screen is very easy since the top holes are slotted so you can let the screen kind of hang while you work on the bottom ones. The real beauty of this mount is the range of positions it lets you put your screen in. Extends almost 19″ from the wall but because of the four pivot points you can fine tune the position just about anywhere within that distance, plus achieve angles that you cannot with other mounts. All that pivoting capability and yet even with the arm stretched out as far as possible, the support is still rock solid. Beautifully designed and well-built is the why behind that.
Forget the junk they showed you in the store where you bought your LCD TV and get this one. The minute you take it out of the box, you’ll know you did the right thing.

5 Stars Great Mount
I purchased this mount for use with my 42″ Samsung LCD tv about six months ago. Overall, I really like the versatility of this mount with the ability to swing a full 180 degrees as well as tilt. Moving the unit away/toward the wall takes a bit more effort than I would have expected, but can be accomplished with one person. The biggest difference I’ve noticed compared to the tilt-only mount I replaced is that the unit sticks out a bit more from the wall when pushed back fully flush. I guess this is to be expected given the two arms and all, but it didn’t occur to me when I bought the mount. Installation went smoothly, but is easier with two people. Also, unless you have a full set of drill bits, plan on buying a large bit to drill pilot holes for the wall anchor bolts, as they are quite large. Although this unit is pricey, in hindsight I wish I had purchased it when I purchased the television because this mount is much more versatile then the basic-tilt models that run between $100-$200.
4 Stars Cuts out a lot of hassle.
I bought this mount a year ago roughly. I had 2 prior to it that were much cheaper, but in the long run ended up being more expensive due to time investment and hassle.
I had one small issue with it where the television bracket wasn’t tight enough and caused rotation once it was hung, fixed it by tightening up and have had no issues since.
It holds my TV without sagging even at full extension, I appreciate a product that does what it says it can.
I took off one star because of the price and the issue with the rotation, if it had been much more loose it could have caused injury or damage and never mentions this being a source of adjustment.
5 Stars Built like a tank!
I bought this mount last year to hang a 47″ LCD in our bedroom. The wall I installed the mount on had 2 studs running down the middle, so the mount installation was fairly simple. There isn’t too much adjustment/wiggle room left to right with this mount, so wall placement could be somewhat of an issue depending on stud location, but other than that, the mount is a work of art, and solid as a rock. Been using it for over a year, and really like the quality. I can pull the TV out from the wall quite a ways when working on wiring, and the mount handles the TV weight with ease.
5 Stars Awesome
This product is nearly perfect. I downloaded the instructions and reviewed them before I purchasd the item so I knew what I was getting into. I ordered the UCL-XP instead of the UCL-XB thinking that was the black one. I actually like the Platinum color better. The last digit in the model number denotes color. I put the unit up in less than a couple of hours including breaks. The template lays out the mounting positioning very well, deciding how high I needed to place this mount took about as long as putting it up. Leveling is very important, although you do have a little play either way. I placed the mount near a corner for total room viewing and it does not disappoint. At this time I have not used the built-in cable runs so I cannot comment on their usefulness, Im still trying different hookups on the back of the TV. This unit looks gorgeous and my 50″ plasma seems to float in the air. If I ever upgrade to a larger flat panel, this mount will handle it no problem.
5 Stars Wonderful
This is definitely not a do-it-yourself installation, however if you’ve been impatiently waiting to mount your beast of a television on copious amounts of steel and are really excited to start drilling, then this can be a one man job. I received the product, which arrives in an enormous box, with a set of instructions in more languages the the United Nations could even comprehend. However, the install was acutally fairly uneventful and reasonably facile. If you’re mounting to steel beams, then beware, because most likely you will need washers, as the bolts provided have threads which stop about 1.5 cm from the top.
When it comes time to mount the television, and you’re feeling like Lou Ferrigno circa 1978, then you’ll be able to lift that LCD (probably not a plasma) up onto the bolts and BAM!!! You’re done. Overall, easy install, great looking product and perfect for those situations when a table top tv is so last season.

5 Stars Best mount ever–with a little dumb luck
I could not be happier with this stand. The overall appearance is clean and strong. Once installed the mount could easily support my 40 inch LCD and more–I was pulling on the arms to test its strength after my TV was mounted. An included safety bar keeps the TV in place and secure. The duel actuating arms give you the freedom to easily point your display in a wide degree of viewing angles. Being able to pull it away form the wall made it great for accessing the cable in back. Very simple install, came with all the neccissary hardware and additional pieces.
Where the dumb luck comes into play:
With the help of a friend I was able to measure, drill, and mount in about 40 minutes. But as hard as we tried to get the drilled holes and base of the mount level, our work was slightly off. Even though the base would be on an angle, we continued to attach the mount and later the LCD. Sure enough the display was PERFECTLY level. It was dumb luck that the stand was not manufactured perfectly level and the hardware made up for our drilling error. Had the two of us successfully installed the base of the mount level, the display would have been tilted.
Overall the stand looks great, is very strong, secure, and allows for easy adjustment of the direction and angle. The only thing you have to look our for is making sure everything is level, not just your drilling, but the mount itself. A+, but I did get lucky.
5 Stars Great product at an even better price!
To begin with, I am not a handyman by any stretch of the imagination, but I figured I would give mounting this a try. With a decent stud finder, level, and ratchet I had all the tools I needed. It went up on the wall very easily, and the TV attached nearly as easily. I was very impressed with the sturdiness and the ability to adjust the angles. I attached a 46 inch Sony Bravia TV and have no concerns with it coming down. As with many of the other comments, I could not believe the price in comparison with other brands (many more than $300)! I would certainly recommend this product to anybody who might be interested. The item is not perfect. The instructions are not clear, and it would be nice if some of the hardware was covered better behind the TV, but for the price, and functionality of the object, this is possibly the best deal I have ever found on Amazon!
4 Stars PLEASE READ, BUT BE CAREFUL WITH PURCHASE!!!!!!! IMPORTANT!!!!!!
OK.. I recruited a friend to help with the lifting of the tv and mount for mounting to the wall.
Neither my friend nor myself are a novice when it comes to mounting tvs/working with mounting things to walls.
With THAT said.. I will review.
Instructions: pure and utter garbage. I have no idea how a company could put out such a horrible set of instructions. No pictures, it even skips steps that a novice would not know about, and it doesn’t explain things correctly.
Hardware: GARBAGE. DO NOT USE. I was a a little confused at first by why they would include what they did (a few anchors and some cheap zinc screws..) I decided to play devils advocate and mounted it anyways. Downstairs on the Sanus mount i have, i literally had a friend do a pull-up on it. Why would i want to take a chance with a $1000+ tv. if it ll hold 200 lbs, it ll hold my tv and some adjustments. I had my friend do a “pull up” on this cheetah mount with the hardware that came with it and it RIPPED RIGHT OUTTA THE WALL!! NO WAY would i mount my nice plasma on that.i went out to Lowes and got my own deep screws. used them and its great.
Mount: only complaints are the sag and twise.. that is caused by uneven mounting and by structual un-eveness in the manufacturing of the mount. all i have to do is add a little wash on the one side and its gonna be perfect
Ability to move/manuever: not as easy as the Sanus i have, but still – for the price its MORE than worth it. you get what you pay for.
Is it worth it??: YES. of course yes. just get new hard ware.
5 Stars Awesome mount for the money!! You can’t go wrong!!
Fantastic wall mount. Easy to set up and super strong. Holds my 46″ LCD with ease. Read a few reviews of people complaining about the poor instructions and the mount being unlevel. (use a level folks!!) Well, if you have even the slightest mechanical ability, you can hang this thing blindfolded. Also, it’s infinitely adjustable, so if the main wall plate is not perfectly level, you can compensate with the adjustable plate that mounts to the TV. (There are 5 allen head screws that allow the TV to rotate. So, if the wall mount is down on the left side, you can rotate the TV plate to the right to compensate. Why are people freaking out??) Just get this mount already!!It’s the cat’s ass!! If you have a problem with it, contact me directly and I’ll help you out. Also, this new girl I’m dating is coming over tonight and when she sees my new wall mounted TV, her clothes are going to literally fall off her body!! Yes, there will be more than one thing being mounted tonight!!!
5 Stars I will support Cheetah Mounts FOREVER!!

WOW. I bought a cheetah mount that only tilts for my 52″ SAMSUNG LCD TV. But the configuration of my living room/kitchen area had me thinking I’d rather go with an articulating wall mount, so I can turn it if I’m cooking or if I have people over on the sectional sofa I can turn it that (the opposite) way. So I bought this puppy (I kept the other tilting-only mount for my bedroom LCD TV which I haven’t purchased yet). After taxes and S&H, it came out to $106. A similar product at BestBuy and hhgregg costs well over $300 (bestbuy has some that articulate and tilt that are up to $750!!!)
I’m a civil engineer, I work on designing things as a career. When I opened the box and saw the structural bulk of this thing, I was very impressed. I knew my brand new TV would be secure hanging from this thing. It came with a BUNCH of extra hardware in case you needed to use it (I ended up using the screws they supplied for the connection to the TV, since mine were too short). I also used their spacers to help ensure full thread engagement.
I wanted to install the TV on the wall and run the cables through the wall, so I had a lot of work cut out for me. Also, I live on a first floor condo unit, so my studs were in groups of 3 and only 12″ apart. So I had to cut a whole in the drywall and add another adjacent stud to it. The lag screws they supplied are more than efficient. Just be sure to have the right sized screwdriver head to avoid stripping the heads.
Once I got the TV up I load tested it. I brought it out about 3/4 the total extension distance and first pulled down on it a bit. Then I slowly transferred all my weight to the mount. I heard a little bit of stress in the wood, but after all 215lbs of me was hanging from it, I knew that my 66 lb tv would be just fine. It’s only upon writing this review that I see it’s rated for 180 lbs. so it’s a good thing that I didn’t see that before load-testing it. (even though, being an engineer and all) I know things are derated all the time. The instructions were a little fuzzy, but it’s still pretty easy to not screw up.
Feel free to ask me any questions about the TV or the wall mount, i’d be glad to answer.

5 Stars Third Time’s the Charm…
We tried two other mounts before getting the Premier. The first was misrepresented in the Amazon description and was not even compatible with our 22″ bedroom flatscreen. The second fit but it extended above the back of the set and was visible. Ugly!
The AM2-B is terrific, easy to install, solid, and offers great flexibility.
4 Stars Pretty Pleased
First: I am a pretty good handy person who has experiencing installing items like this in the house. I have installed tilting and arm type supports on four occasions prior. This was my fifth.
My Installation: Install a 26″ LCD above a door frame in a bathroom. Pretty straight forward.
Pro’s: I had it installed in about 20 minutes total. It was quite easy, and seemed very stable. The leveling is quite easy as you have only one alignment (vertical) to consider. The swing cjharacteristics on side to side and in or out are quite impressive. I can go nearly 90deg to each side when fully extended out.
Cons: you better have a stud where you want the center of your TV or you will have to build a “support” between studs. (No big issue for those who know what to do). Bigger issue is that the stud bolts are Phillips Head Screws.. So you better pre-drill your holes, and better have a power screw driver. No way can you sink these monsters by hand and no pre-drill with out rounding off the head. These would have been better as hex-heads. The down ward tint is a bit less than I thought, but I have a high mount. If middle of wall mount, this is no big issue. The cable management system is adequate.
I would recommend this and use this mount again.
5 Stars JCC
THIS IS MY SECOND PURCHASE. THIS MOUNT FAR EXCCEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. GIVES ALOT OF FLEXIBLITY FOR REVIEWING ANGLES, ETC. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND.
5 Stars compact and easy to install
Love this item. A lot smaller than other types of mount, but does the job.
Installation was a snap, 4 screws into a stud. Do not miss the studs!
Movement is smooth and easy in all directions. Would buy another if needed.
4 Stars Great Mount
Just got this mount a few weeks ago. Went up real easy. Put my 32″ Samsung TV on a thick plaster wall using three 1/4″ toggle bolts. Holds great and arm easily moves. Would not suggest this mounting method with any drywall. Looks good too in my smaller bedroom on the opposite wall and above the bed/near the ceiling.
Only change I would make is for the manufacturer to supply a template that shows the oval cover outline and holes where to drill so I could precisely postion the TV. Made my own but having a pre-made one would have saved a few minutes.
You need the optional plate for a the 32″ Samsung.
