4 Stars Tilt & Swivel Mount
I would say this is a “pretty good” product. It was less than half the price of anything I found locally and once mounted I have been happy with its performance. You will need to take your time when mounting and I had to shim the bottom by a good 1/4″ to get the LCD screen to be level. The cover hides the shim so all is good. For the money I would recommend this product to anyone is comfortable with deviating from the standard mounting instructions to get the best results.

2 Stars Not for anywhere fancy. They needed to do some more work.
I bought one of these mounts to go with the flat screen tv that I bought for the kitchen. Of all the many many things we bought for the job (we started without even walls) This was easily the most disappointing for us. We had to replace the hardware, as we note others said. That’s OK, as we expected to do some of that. By the time we were all done, that TV got installed 7 different times, each time trying to improve what should have been easy and good looking.

The arm articulates fairly well, but it is held in place with a lockwasher so it doesn’t change directions. The arm is covered with 3 pair of plastic covers to improve the looks. And, for that reason, they are necessary as without them it looks like a “my first welding class” take-home to the parents project. Trust me, you’d rather the take-home ashtray with an impression of your hand, if you can. Even if you do not smoke.

This plastic shell has thin plastic tabs, etc to hold the parts together and thet seem to be easily broke. In addition, the metal arms and hardware blocks the only possible route for running any cable, even a power cable, through the plastic shell. Perhaps you shouldn’t run them through the shell. If so, why the exit hole at the TV end? The wall mount part of the base has two holes as the only place to route those cables through the base, but then the route is blocked by the middle part. In use, the length of wires needed for the arm to straighten out leaves an ugly loop of cable showing below the screen. Like I said, my biggest disappointment in the whole kitchen. If I could find a replacement that would cover the holes in the cabinet I would. In a minute.

After a mental hiccup that caused me to continue trying to make it work, I wound up not only making mounting holes but also cutting these holes for the wires to make it to the tv from the cabinet. The cabinet I had just finished making out of oak. If I hadn’t done that, this would be going back long ago.

Now, instead of having people make me proud of the work I put into making the cabinet, I try to keep people from looking behind the tv, although its a losing battle.

1 Star Not fabricated as shown
I recently received this item and discovered that it was manufactured incorrectly. It looks identical to the picture shown except that the tilt control was rotated 90 degrees, which means that it offers no vertical tilt. While the item was shipped promptly and the price was unmatched, the lack of tilt means that this product is going to be returned. Hopefully this is an isolated incident and others get a correctly fabricated version.

1 Star Pure Junk
it said this product sold for over $100, I gave $18, this product isnt worth the shipping I paid. No directions came with it. Very unstable. Pure hunk of Junk made in China, You get what you pay for. Maybe we should start making stuff in the US

5 Stars wallmount bracket
Easy to install I used it for a 24 in. Samsung. Was able to make adapter with rear part of stand. Nice product.Thanks

5 Stars TILT SWING ARM WALL MOUNT FOR LCD/PLASMA TV & COMP.MONITOR
EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO MOUNT A 20″ COMP. FLAT PANEL MONITOR IN MY RV.

DOUBLE SWING ARM AND TILT LETS YOU MOVE IT WHERE YOU NEED WHETHER IT’S TO WORK WITH OR TO SWING IT OUT OF THE WAY FOR STORAGE.

AND THE PRICE CAN’T BE BEAT ANYWHERE.

4 Stars Works well, but doesn’t fit all TVs
The swing arm is sturdy. It fits many standard screw patterns. It has worked flawlessly since I installed it. The plastic cover that goes over the metal was a pain and required some modifications to get it to work in my situation, but worked and looks nice.

Installing the swing arm into the wall turned out to be an adventure. There were no studs behind the wall where I wanted to mount it, and the screw mounts sent with the unit just pulled out once a little weight was applied. You can solve this two ways – use a bit of plywood that can be attached to wall studs, or use some large drywall screws that are used to hang plants and such. I used the drywall screws as I didn’t want to try and hide a hunk of plywood. I had to drill 3 good sized holes, but they are hidden behind the swingarm wall mount. It turned out sturdy and secure.

The one other issue I ran into was I ended up replacing the orginal TV I bought with the swingarm. The new TV advertised they were mounting VESA compliant and yes, the screws did match up – But the TV mount bracket covered up the cable TV connection. Out came the drill and a metal bit, and a few minutes later They cable ran right through the mounting bracket just fine. The lesson here is just because the screws line up (VESA Compliant) does NOT mean the TV will be easy to mount.

When you buy a flat screen to be mounted, look to be sure the cable connection and other important connectors are point down, to the side, or up – but NOT straight back.

The addition of a swingarm TV to the front office was a nice touch – much appreciated by my wife. This hardware gets a recommend – with caution on the mating of the right TV.

4 Stars GOOD QUALITY!
I have no room on my kitchen counter for a tv, so I looked into wall mounting, and this one gave me alot of options. I love it!

5 Stars WOW
I can’t believe this mount.. SO inexpensive you think something has to be off! We bought this for a 32″ RCA LCD. We got that TV when LCD’s first hit the market. It’s old and heavy! We put it in our grand kids play room and it’s wonderful! Couldn’t be easier to install and it’s very secure! Really, it’s unbelievable! Really, if you’re in the market, you can’t go wrong.. Oh, and the level on the item and the one in the box were spot on!

5 Stars No reason to spend more for a mount.
I used this to mount my 32 inch LCD TV in the basement. It was the perfect size and works very well. I see absolutely no reason to spend $80 on a mount when this one does the exact same thing for much less.

4 Stars Good for the money, but be careful.
I read the reviews and was happy to find a decent tilt mount for a television smaller than thirty inches. However, after I bought the product i realized something pretty drastic: The plates used to mount the television to the actual wall mount were FAR to big for the back of my 26 inch Samsung LCD tv. The mount on the left side worked perfectly, but on the right side, the mounting plate actually hung down so far it blocked a lot of my input jacks.

As well as blocking my input jacks (as some televisions have them in the middle instead of on the side) the same brackets actually stuck out a good seven inches ABOVE my television. As aesthetically displeasing as this is, I don’t think I will send the mount back, but I really wish there was a picture added to show users how the mount affixes to the back of the television. Also, the mount comes with several different size mounting bolts, which I was happy to see, BUT there were none small enough to fit my television. If you run into this problem, simply go to your nearest BestBuy and ask for the proper size mounting bolts (your television’s manual should have the size listed)

It is a very sturdy product, looks great, is textured so the mount will not screech and slide, and is well worth the money. But be prepared to have some trouble if you have a smaller than 30″ television.

5 Stars Sturdy Mount
We have installed several of these mounts in motel rooms and they are as well built as any that we have used. They are very easy to install once the wall studs are located, they are very sturdy & hold the TV securly. Over all for the price available through Amazon, the quality of the product and shipping from Cheetah Mounts, these are the best we have used (also have used – CHEETAH MOUNTS LCD TV ARTICULATING ARM WALL MOUNT FOR 23-37″ DISPLAYS BLACK- which are also a good mount but not as stable/secure).

4 Stars Works with our 32″ Samsung
This mount works well with our 32″ Samsung and mounts very securely to the wall. I was a little surprised at the size of the bolts that are used to drive the mount into the wall. Let’s just say that it shouldn’t have ANY trouble with your 32″ TV no matter the weight.

So, the pros are that it was easy to set up, installed quickly, and is secure and small. Also, the TV can slide left and right, which is nice.

The cons are that the built in level is completely useless. I wish it wasn’t there because everyone who’s seen it comments about the mount no being level, but my expensive level (and my eyes) say it is. Another con is that the tilt angle is difficult to adjust.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with the mount and would purchase again.
