AMAZING and worth every penny! [Posted on 2008-08-03]
I LOVE THIS MOUNT!
I bought a huge flat panel television and did the research to figure out how to mount it on the wall. I started looking at all my options and only included this in that spirit. I had no intention of paying upwards of $250 for a mount!
Well, after reading several raving reviews I started getting interested. Nothing else had prompted such a passionate response. Now I know why!
The review that really pushed me over was the guy who recommended downloading the installation instructions and assured everyone that it really wasn't that difficult to install. He was right!
I went ahead with the purchase and the next day downloaded the instructions. After reading them over a couple times I had a clear understanding of how I was going to mount this thing. When it arrived I set aside some time on a Saturday and I put up my 50" Plasma TV, on this mount, ALL ALONE!
That's right a one man install! It was so straight forward and easy.
It took about 3 hours to get it all done but I wasn't rushing either. Here's what I did and what you can do also...
- set the printed instructions in a pile and used parts list to confirm contents
- set all the pieces out in the order I would install them to get the big picture
- used my stud finder to find the best install location (it MUST hit center on 2 studs and you must drill holes to mount it)
- used the included mounting guide with self adhesive strip to mark my holes (it even comes with a sawdust catching tray pocket - so cool!)
- grabbed my trusty cordless drill and the right sized bit and dilled holes
- used my socket set to mount the back plate to the wall
- mounted the bracket to the back of my TV
- attached the cantilever arm to the wall bracket
- hung the TV on the arm and tightened the bolts
Done!
The key to making the job so easy is to seperate the arm from the mounting bracket. Otherwise I could see it being unruly to manage.
I LOVE THIS MOUNT!!!
My huge TV pulls out away from the wall and tilts in all 4 directions (left, right, up, down) with such ease and grace.
When it's pushed flat to the wall it looks so slick and neat and when I pull it out jaws tend to drop... very satisfying.
The mount is capable of holding a foolish amount of weight (I'm 250lbs and I hung off it) and the quality of the item is really top notch - good job OmniMount!
I would highly recommend this mount to anyone over a simple tilt up/down cheapo - it's worth the extra couple hundred bucks!
Highly recommended Flat screen mount [Posted on 2008-08-11]
All the other reviews from Amazon convinced me to purchase this unit. The silver unit was significantly cheaper than the black. It does not show in my situation so I saved the $$. Excellent mount, easy to install, and performs as advertised. The directions were not the best, but the set up and mounting is fairly straight forward. I have a 52" Sony mounted on this unit and it is very solid. Movement is easy and steady out to full extension. EXCELLENT PRODUCT.
The Best Flat Panel Wall Mount! [Posted on 2008-09-29]
After carefully reading reviews on all types of flat panel mounts I decided to go with this one after the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Amazon.
This is a heavy duty mount that will easily hold your large television. I purchased this for my Sharp Aquos 52" LCD and am very pleased. The mount comes with a template that makes installation a breeze. Hint: You will need to have 16" studs to correctly place this mount.
I have absolutely no carpentry skills and I installed this in a little over two hours thanks to the easy directions and the even easier template. The template also comes with a foldable bottom to catch the wall board debris that comes from drilling holes in the walls! In my opinion Omnimount makes the best wall mounts on the market and by far the easiest to install. This mount is a bit pricey but well worth it. The heftier price is made better by the fact that you really will not need to pay a carpenter to install this - its that easy!
It's a one Heavy Duty Wall Hanger [Posted on 2008-10-17]
This is one nice and heavy hanger. Our TV is 147#'s and I wondered about a bracket that would swivel and still hold the weight. It does. The instructions are a little vague, but then it's just a bracket. I thought it would be user friendly for one person, but it takes two people to move it successfully without banging into the walls.
The directions were a little difficult....but [Posted on 2008-10-20]
It is definitely a mount worth buying. The directions were too simple. I had to download information directly from Omnimount which provided better visuals and instructions. The best way to mount is to remove the arms first and attach the wall plate. Make sure you have studs 16" apart or this mount is not for you. Once attached to the wall, the rest is a breeze. The T.V. looks wonderful and can be adjusted to any position. I live in California and have no worries about it falling off the wall during an earthquake.
