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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!
