Cheetah Mounts AS2S 2 Shelf LCD LED Plasma Wall Mount Rack W Cable Management System for Cable Box DVD Player Stereo Components Etc

The AS2S is a bi-shelf cable management system. It can be used with or without a Plasma/LCD mount. This unit is designed to fit under your display and provide an on wall solution for other components such as cable boxes, DVD players, game consoles, and stereo components. There are three 2 1/4″ holes on the aluminum plate. These holes allow you to cleanly run your cables up to your TV or down to another component, as well as out the bottom to an outlet.

After reviewing our competition we realized that most shelving units need to be mounted directly into a wall stud. In most cases the wall stud is placed to the right or to the left of the display, which is not where most people prefer to have their shelves mounted. This is still the most secure option however, after significant research weve found that using the correct toggle bolts can allow you to mount your shelving unit wherever you see fit. With the combination of four of these toggle bolts, the shelving unit is able to hold well over 70LBS safely. Each individual toggle bolt provides 75lbs of support. Please note a good toggle bolt is still only as good as the quality of the drywall it is mounted to. If you have water damage or

2 Stars Great until it wasn’t. The Heads broke off 2 of the 3 cables. Be Very Gentle with these.
Great picture quality in full 1080p, but the heads are very poorly constructed and two of the three cables I bought from them have now broken.

5 Stars an improvement over a more expensive cable
I’ve only had it for a couple of days but the quality of viewing has improved over the Monster cable I had before. With the Monster, I used to get sound dropouts and very rough channel changes (with sound loss) when I went from regular to HD channels. None of that is happening with this new cable.

I have seen some concerns about longevity- my fingers are crossed! I have it hooked up to TV from cable box. I have not plugged and unplugged it repeatedly as others here have described.

5 Stars more than a bargain!
this hdmi cable works great. i use it for my playstion 3 and cable box.

4 Stars Excellent price, works perfectly.
I paid $2.99+tax at Frys electronics for this (sorry Amazon), In order to test up my new 24″ Samsung Syncmaster LCD with a full 1080p native resolution. my decision was based on price alone. When I opened the package I was suprised by the look,feel and apparent quality of the cable. I own many other cheap (all under $5 HDMI cables and this one looks and feels much more expensive. Plugged it in and it worked exactly as I expected it to; the TMDS coded algorithm made it from my motherboard to my monitor no problem, which means; same exact picture as I would get from a 20-100$ cable.

The only reason this manufacturer loses a star is because of the outrageous claims on the packaging that any 15 year old should be able to see as invalid. Example *enables increased contrast ratio, *eliminates on screen color banding, (here is the best) *lets HDTVs display colors more accurately.

The cable is great but it wont work any better than any other HDMI cable even one from the dollar store.

1 Star Poor Quality Shows when Plugging and Un-plugging
I had a similar experience as many others have with the gold plated end of my cables snapping off after unplugging them from my bluray and tv.

4 Stars Works as advertised
Works well, gives a line at the top of the screen sometimes. It may just be crappy cable box though.

5 Stars Outstanding performance and cheap!
What can i say, I bought one of these cables several months ago to hook up my DVI laptop to my tv HDMI input. I liked it so much, I purchased a second one for my other television. It works exactly as you expect. Construction quality is great, picture quality is great. I don’t think the higher priced ones will do any better (though I have not tried). I liked this cable enough to come back and leave some positive feedback so others can benefit.

1 Star Don’t get for Macs
I got this to connect my MacBook Pro to an HDTV, to no avail. When I connected it, the screen would flash blue once then refuse to detect the external display. I took the setup in to an Apple Store, where switching computers had the same effect. We then switched to their $26 Belkin DVI to HDMI cable and had everything work perfectly.

Yeah, it’s only a few dollars on Amazon with shipping, but it’s not worth even that for Mac users – this seems to be a frequent problem.

1 Star Did not work!!
Bought this cable thinking I got a bargain on a cheap dvi to hdmi cable for my macbook pro and panasonic lcd hdtv but it didn’t work. Tried it on all the hdmi ports and got nothing. My macbook’s screen kept flashing blue as if it was trying to connect to an external monitor but no picture was showing up on my tv. I’ve read others with macs saying the cable worked and others said it didn’t. Guess I was one of the unlucky ones.

5 Stars It does it’s Job
Plain and simple, hooked up my computer up to the big LG lcd tv. Simple and it worked. Had to of course adjust the settings on the card and the zoom aspect settings on the tv but that is to be expected with this type of connection. Quick delivery and great price. Picture looks great, vibrant colors, makes it all sorts of fun to watch movies off the computer. So if you need this cable this one does the job.

and eforcity is also a good thing, They’ve never let me down in anyway, they rock!
