OmniMount chucks out motorized flat-panel mount of its own
A year after introducing the Ultra Low Profile Series flat-panel mounts, OmniMount has shown up at CEDIA time once more with a new way to hang up your set. While not nearly as unique as Stewart Filmscreen's Media Décor, the new Motion40 will still put a little motor into your mount. The remote-controlled device was designed to hold up "medium-sized" flat-panels, and with just a press of a button, the screen can tilt, swivel and wow onlookers while barely making a peep. If you've got a 23- to 40-inch set that weighs under 66-pounds, OmniMount's Motion40 can get it lookin' good upside your wall for $399.95. Full release is after the jump.
OmniMount unveils Ultra Low Profile Series flat panel mounts
Flat panel TVs are suppose to be mounted flat to the wall. Sans any type of custom install however, a plasma or LCD is more than likely not going to sit right on the wall; instead hanging out a few inches off thanks to a big mounting bracket. OmniMount just introduced their new Ultra Low Profile Series that hangs the flat panel a mere 1.5-inch off the wall – plus, the TV can tilt 15 degrees. The ULPT-X is going to drop at $329 and can hold up the few 75-inch flat-screens currently on the market. The ULPT-L and ULPT-M carry a $279 and $199 MSRP, plus are designed for up to a 63-inch and 42-inch respectively. Thin is in and OmniMount went on a diet with these new mounts.
