Question: The mounting holes on the back of my 6-yr.-old plasma tv are 25 inches apart. Will that distance work with this Cheetah mount
Document: I discovered that the mounting screws on my tv - 52 in LG - are 32 inches apart while Cheetah mount is only 28. I called Cheetah and they were surprised at the mounting distance on the LG. They did not have anything for that size and no adaptor. I took 1/2 inch square steel rods and had to drill 2 holes on each end and attached horizantally to the tv and attached the Cheetah mount with lag bolts.
The product description states the mount is 3.5 inches from the wall. This is true for the back part of the mount but when you include the hanging brackets that mount to the TV, the total distance from the wall to the back of the TV is about 4 and 5/8 inches. This causes me a problem since I am mounting the TV inside a cabinet that is only 8 inches deep - probably won't work for me. Also, the mechanism works very hard.
Limitations:Not enough holes on the back of the mounting plate so i was forced to mount it 6 inches to the left of where I wanted to place it on the wall. The range of motion is OK but beware this only goes side to side and has a slight tilt. There is no up and down movement. You are also limited where the cords can come through the back plate.
This Cheetah APDAM2B articulating wall mount exactly fits the Samsung 46 inch 6000 series flat panel TV. The mounting holes on the TV are sixteen inches apart vertically, which fits the last of the holes in the mount's vertical attaching arms. I selected this mount for a recessed space, and wanted to place the mount exactly in the middle of the space. This is not necessary, since the articulating feature allows off-center spacing, if desired.

The mount is real nice but the brackets that mount to the wall are way too short!! They are only 16 inches long which is how far apart your studs in the wall are!! So if you are trying to center your tv on the wall it gives you no room for adjustment!! I ended up buying angle iron and revamping the mount with longer brackets. It ended up costing me another $25 by the time I was done and a lot more time.
Mounted the mount to the wall in about 10 minutes. It took about another 15 minutes to get the mounting brackets on the TV and installed on the wall, total time about 25 or 30 minutes. This mount is very solid and easily holds up the 55" 40LB LED TV. I took the mount apart as this made it easier to install on the wall. I originally had a center mount for this tv but it caused it to tv to flex.This mount is just the mount for the tv.
Now we have to take it all apart to ship back. Oh- and Cheetah customer services reps are the rudest people I have dealt with in a long time. Cranky, rude, and  interrupting people. They offer nothing for this inconvenience other than shipping us the old mount for the same price. They did say would would wave the shipping cost....big dang deal!
This just simplifies pulling the mounted TV straight out from the wall. The wall mounting plate does, indeed, have 24 inches between the most outside of the mounting holes, so can be attached between studs which are 24 inches apart. My studs are the standard 16 inches on center, but were not positioned relative to my desired mounting spot to allow for centered mounting. So, I placed horizontal studs between the vertical ones, to let me mount it as I desired.
Although the literature states the mount is good for TVs up to 65 inches, the mount couldn't hold my 50-inch plasma upright. Even with the tilt mechanism fully up, the bottom of the set bumped against the wall. I didn't dare try to extend the mount. No choice but to take it apart (a pain) and return it (painless).On 4/12 I received a phone call from Cheetah Mounts expressing the company's regret that the product didn't live up to my expectations.
Answer: Yes it will work. We just measured it to be sure. Out tv is also 6 or 7 years old.
