Product Summary
The Cheetah APTMMB is a solid tilting wall mount with a slim 1.9" profile and couch friendly 15° of forward tilt. To help seal the deal Cheetah throw in a big bag of screws, bolts and spacers that will fit most TVs and a bubble level to ensure a perfect line up. If you know your way around a power drill you should have everything up and running before lunch.

The mount consists of a backplate that attaches to the wall with an upper and lower horizontal bar. Two vertical metal rails screw to the back of your TV and hook onto the upper horizontal bar. To keep the TV securely in place there are two locking screws that keep the TV rails from pulling away from the lower bar.

The 30" wide backplate has elongated holes running along the top and bottom which gives you a lot of lateral adjustment to get the mount centered on the wall and still be over the studs. Always mount the wall plate against the studs as drywall alone will not be able to hold the weight of the TV. Make sure the holes line up and the wall plate is level as there is no way to adjust this after it is in place. A word of caution - use or buy your own bubble level as the ones supplied with the mount are frequently inaccurate.

You can adjust the tilt up to 15° down for a better viewing angle. We recommend you do this before you hang the TV as it is tricky to change afterwards.

This super flat TV wall mount has a wall hugging profile of just 1.9". Check that you have enough room in the back of your TV for your connections. This will vary depending on the exact make and model of your display. If it gets too tight add some of the supplied plastic spacers to give yourself a slightly bigger gap.

It is rated for 32" displays, but with a wall plate that is 30" wide you might find that the mount is not completely hidden behind the TV. Measure carefully before you order.

It supports hole patterns up to 28" (711mm) wide by 19" (483mm) tall. Basically this should fit virtually any 32-55" plasma or LCD TV including VESA 100x100, 200x200, 300x300, 400x400 and 400x600.

All in all, the Cheetah APTMMB is a great tilting TV wall mount at a recession friendly price that should last for years.
