 Sturdy, flexible, neat outlet cut-outs December 25, 2008
PROs:
+ Great supply of misc hardware to mount for almost any size flat panel.
+ Comforting double arm support for nice pivot motion. Handy tilt function for up and down viewing angles (especially good for LCD with viewing not as great as plasma).
+ Clever +/- bolt spacing for slight stud spacing +/-.
+ Excellent mechanics with support bracket spanning evenly to pivot arm.
CONs:
- Plastic caps for metal rails are cheap and don't even fit/attach.
- Too much misc hardware left over.
- No caps to conceal wall bolts. Use same color bolts?
Perfect for my needs December 20, 2008
I was looking for a mount that would be robust enough to handle my 52" panasonic but still be able to tilt, rotate and retract. This mount fits the bill. Solid, sturdy mount gives you confidence that this can hold up your tv safely.
The mounting template was helpful, hardest part of the install was finding the studs. All the hardware plus plenty of optional pieces make the X series usable on virtually any TV.
Looks great up, cable management in arms allows cables to be out of site. Look no further, but go for the lowest price you can find.
Overbuilt--but do you really want to save $50 on the mount for a $2000 flat panel? December 3, 2008
OK, this thing is big, it's heavy, and from the side without the TV mounted looks like the creature from Alien. But it is overbuild in all the best possible ways. I looked at it this way: I was mounting a $2,000 plasma. I didn't want to save $50 on cheaper mount.
I used it to mount a 50inch plasma that weighs about 90 pounds. The mount is rated up to 63 inches and 200 pounds, so it is comfortably oversized. Because I was mounting in an opening over a gas fireplace, I didn't have struggles with finding studs or figuring out the template. I put in my own studs screwed in place with metal L-brackets, and mounted the bracket directly to the exposed studs with the six immense lag bolts provided.
The installation was pretty straightforward. Two cautions:
--Measure your desired flat-panel height carefully before drilling. The bracket allows adjustments east and west to center in the desired position, but not north and south.
--So 90 points seemed light after heisting down the 180-lb 32-inch tuber I took out of the opening before installing this bracket. But plan on at least two strong men to help lift and mount the panel on the wall bracket, because the weight is very awkwardly distributed and hard to maneuver in the air--and you don't want to drop and splatter that $2000 flat panel before you even turn it on!
With those precautions, this bracket is a beauty. It feels rock solid, moves in and out and tilts, pans, and swivels with ease without ever feeling wobbly. Its hard to imagine how it could be any better--and I priced extensively before buying, and Amazon's price was easily the best at the time I bought.
Strong mount, confident in mounting hardware. October 26, 2008

This mount is heavy and has a lot of strength to support heavy panels. The cable management is much better than competing products that don't even attempt to hide cables. Be careful and take your time - the covers are made of plastic and make break if you try to force them. I would have liked to see metal covers, but with appropriate installation, they work fine and Omnimount may have been trying to keep the weight of the mount down. The cantilever arms are attractive and don't look as utilitarian as a Sanus or Peerless mount. They have a distinct strong and techy look.
Installation took me an hour, but there's no reason to rush the install. A mistake in preparation just makes it take many times longer. I recommend that you make sure you have a good stud finder and then use a finish nail to test the edges of your stud location. You really want to have the lag bolts hit the center of each stud. I used a decent box level and the provided template. The mount base, once lagged onto the wall, is fairly easy. The adapter plate for the plasma attaches easily.
I'd have to say that the hardest part is to have another person able to lift half of 150lbs of plasma tv up to the mount. Thankfully Omnimount has provided a method to rest the adapter on the mount until it can be fastened tightly. I placed a level on top of the plasma after it was mounted and made a tiny adjustment using the adjustment screws to ensure the TV wasn't canted.
So order a pizza, chill the beer, and invite a buddy and make sure you start early enough to watch a game afterward.
Note: many mount instructions show diagrams with the tv screen flat against the floor when installing an adapter on the back... That's not a good idea for a TV that has "this side up" in 17 languages on the box when shipped. Put a blanket on the top edge and lean it against a wall when installing the adapter to the rear of the TV and make sure that you check for depth on your screw holes before chosing the adapter screw.
Lift with your knees ;)
This Mount Rocks! October 3, 2008
This mount is exactly what i would expect from Omnimount. Great Quality, Solid. No worries hanging my new 52" Sony from it. Safe , stable, worth the money.
