OmniMount UCL-XB Dual Arm Cantilever Mount (fits 42 - 63" flat panels) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Strong mount, confident in mounting hardware.
Comment: 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 ;)

Summary: Awesome mount
Comment: This mount is great. My only complaint is that it's a bit difficult to extend and retract. May be a credit to how sturdy it is. I recommend it to anyone.

Summary: It's Awesome
Comment: To the guy who gave it 1 star... you forgot to do your homework before buying a $300 wall mount. Thats on you, not the mount. 16" studs are standard, and you can always cut out some sheetrock and make a brace.

There is a slider and slotted bolt holes so you can center the tv about 6-10 inches off the center of the studs.

After I mounted it, I fully extended it and hung my body weight from it (175 lb) before attaching the TV with no problems.

Cable management could be better.
