Fantastic product and fantastic price at AmazonJuly 8, 2008 I purchased this mount about a month ago and am thoroughly satisfied. It is expensive, but well worth the money. Having said that, the price is very, very good through Amazon. I saw the *exact* same mount at my local CircuitCity store for $649!
As others have said, be sure your studs are the correct distance. That is by far the most difficult part of mounting the TV. After putting quite a few pin holes in my wall to make extra certain I was hitting the center of the studs, the rest of the install was easy. It is a 2 person job though...especially with a 52" TV like mine.
One other thing, I specifically bought this mount because it extended out far enough and swiveled enough that I could mount my TV in a corner. It works great for my room. It comes out far enough that I can turn my 52" TV at probable a 40 degree angle. Looks perfect!
Anyway, great product and great price at Amazon.
Best mount on the market, hands downApril 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This product exceeded my expectations. In my opinion this is the best mount on the market that I have seen, hands down! It gives the flexibility of panning the TV left, right, up or down depending on where you or your guests are sitting or to avoid glare. It also allows the TV to extend from the wall a good 3 feet or better! The instructions are suspect. Download a better version from the Omnimount website. I was able to install it myself with the help of a friend. The dual arms mount on two studs and gives me that "warm fuzzy" when I mounted my 52" Sharp Aquos. You don't want to trust your $2,000 - $3,000 investment on a shabby mount. The best part is that I saved at least $250 with Amazon over Best Buy! I highly recommend for any 47" or larger TV
Great MountFebruary 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Mount works great and for having a 100+ pound tv on it moves relatively easy. I would buy one again. My 2 gribes about the mount are: 1. Plastic cord hides on the arms are flimsy 2. When retracted all the way back (flat) against the wall the unit sticks out from the wall further than I would prefer leaving the tv roughly 6-8" from the wall.
Good Sturdy MountFebruary 22, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
People are right...the instructions leave a lot to be desired but if you think it through as you are going then there really isn't that much to worry about.
Here are the experiences I came across: 1. Make sure you removed the screws for the original tv stand if you have it on (which is most likely seeing you are installing the wall mount). My stand screw were right under the beams for the frame used to hang the tv on the mount.
2. The tv is slightly off center now as the studs were not where they needed to be...but I don't even notice it after a day. Also the mount allows for a 1" slide (left or right) from where the studs are.
3. I read that this mount was only for 16" studs but the model I got, which I would suspect would be the same as everyone elses, could mount anything between 16" and 18"...although the template provided for the drill holes is only for 16" mounts.
4. The mount is super sturdy and holds our 52" LCD TV easily.
5. I bought the 'like new' item and some of the cable covers used for running the cords through the mount were broken (but usable)...not an issue but something to be aware of when not buying new.
6. I had nail plates in my studs to protect a water pipe at exactly the height I wanted to mount my tv but the mount was flexible enough that I was able mount it about 6 inches higher on the wall than I wanted but still be within an inch of where I wanted the tv to sit.
7. Took me about 3 hours to install but most of that was making sure I didn't drive a drill bit into a water pipe.
8. The tv sits about 6 inches out from the wall and is a little difficult to move around, especially without getting your grotty little fingerprints all over the bezel...but I would definately recommed the mount.
Great Mount..Poor ManualNovember 23, 2007 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Incredibly engineered product...instructions written by 9th graders who have never held a tool. They should honestly just put cartoon pictures in their manual, no words. Horrible website if you are trying to find info for spacer and bolting for newer lcd/plasma models not included in the list. I should have never opened the manual. If you know what you're doing, no problems. I give the mount a 5 out 5 and the instruction manual a 1 out of 5. They do include an excellent wall template for mounting. This was used for a 58" plasma. I love the product.
