Review on Cheetah APTMM2B 165Lbs Twisted Magnetic by Anferny Pineda

Revainrating 2 out of 5

NOT suitable for large Samsung TVs

I've had several Cheetah wall mounts and even replaced another Cheetah wall mount with this one (bigger TV). I would give all 5 stars. But this was VERY disappointing. The build quality and durability is still top-notch, but in this case it specifically states that it's compatible with Samsung's larger TVs. It included (and had a label on the bag) the long 8mm screws that Samsung needed, but the design of the bracket that attaches to the back of the TV made is that no head or wrench fits over the bolt head. I had to take pliers and turn the screws in the most awkward way to tighten them. It also greatly increased the risk of damaging the TV itself, as I couldn't feel when the screws hit the bottom of the holes. A large Phillips pattern on the top of the bolt would completely eliminate this problem. Has anyone at Cheetah ever installed this on a real Samsung? I doubt it.
