I bought this to mount a 32" Panasonic Viera LCD on the wall in my bedroom. Perfect fit for the bolt pattern 200mm x 200mm. It included sets of (4) screws and lock washers in 3 different sizes plus a set of spacers to accommodate almost any flat screen. I had to use a set of the included screws, since the Viera does not come with any. Mounting the brackets was easy, but the screws were a little too long for the bottom 2 holes and bottomed out before becoming tight. I just added the larger lock washers from the set onto the screws for extra distance, and I was able to tighten them completely. I was mounting the set near the ceiling, so I just measured down from the ceiling how far I wanted the top of the set(leave at least 1 inch above set) and added the distance to the screw holes by setting the bracket on the back of set while it was face down. I did not use the level on the bracket, or the included level in the kit since I know that my ceiling is not totally level, and I was more concerned with the distance above the TV to look straight. I found the studs in the wall by using a stud finder, marked the centers, measured down from ceiling the total distance that I mentioned earlier, drilled 4 pilot holes with 3/16th drill bit, and screwed the lag screws with flat washers in using a ratchet. The bracket was not centered due to the stud locations, but was still not visible behind the TV.
When setting the angle of the brackets, do it on the unit while face down BEFORE you try to hang it on the bracket. There is NO ROOM to do it after. If you have to modify the angle, you will have to take it down to adjust it. Also, when assembling the main wall bracket, look at the picture in the book. The short metal brackets are for the sides, and attach the upper and lower brackets into a square (the upper bracket has the level in it).
WORD OF WARNING....DO NOT adjust the angle fully tilted, as the brackets will not clear the bottom bracket of the mount. It must clear it to tighten the lower securing screws from the bottom to prevent the hanging bracket(and your TV) from being knocked off the mount. You will need a pretty long screwdriver to reach the lower securing screws because of the limited distance behind the TV after mounting. Don't worry because the screws are very loose and only need to snug up against the mount to prevent it from falling off.
The cheetah mount is a very heavy powder-coated black, is extremely strong and can handle much more weight that my 32" LCD. I would recommend Cheetah mounts over any other mount out there. It costs less, and is much more durable.
Description of Cheetah Mounts APTMSB Flat Screen TV Wall Mount Bracket for 32-55" Plasma LED LCD TV Includes Free 10' Braided High Speed HDMI Cable With EthernetThe APTMSB tilt mount features a universal design that allows you to mount the vast majority of LED/LCD/Plasma TVs in the 32-55" size range. Specifically, the APTMS supports hole patterns up to 15.75" horizontally by 15.75" vertically and VESA hole patterns up to 400x400mm. The APTMS is designed with a slim 1.9" profile yet still offers up to 15° of forward tilt. The APTMS is constructed with 100% High Grade Steel providing a sturdy and reliable mount. The wall plate will support two stud installation for studs up to 16" apart (most US homes have studs which are 16" apart). The two arm brackets attach to the TV separate from the wall plate allowing for easy "Lift n Lock" installation. Each arm bracket includes a safety screw to prevent accidental liftoff. The wall plate includes a built in bubble level and a separate 6" 3-Axis magnetic bubble level is provided as well. The paint is a high quality textured powder coat paint. The mount ships with all necessary mounting hardware and instructions.
