5 Stars Omniview Low Profile Wall Mount
This is an excellent wall mount. Well designed and well made. Comes with everything needed to create a professional installation. The instructions could be improved, but if you are mechanically inclined, you should have no problem. Best mount out there. Sixth Ave had a great price and free shipping. 5 Stars!

5 Stars Engineering and all was great!
I was thoroughly satisfied with this. It assembled easily, you could tell the parts were quality made, and it was actually a bit more complex of a mechanism than I thought it would be. The template was great.. and the instructions were pretty good. The only thing on the instructions was that when it says to put down the kick stands to install the cables…. there are little locking fingers on the bottom rail that may have been locked when you first put the TV on the top rail. so, you have to be aware of that to use the kick stands. Other than that… I’m very satisfied!

4 Stars Good quality, but be sure to plan installation well.
They aren’t kidding around when they say low profile. It does provide a nice, finished look, but it does make installation more difficult. My tv (Sony 46″ XBR LCD) has the inputs perpendicular to the wall and my original HDMI cables were a bit stiff to make the 90 degree turn. My inputs (power and video) from the wall are inside the rectangular frame, which meant that I had to run cables up and then down to access the tv inputs. You can’t fit cable across due to the low profile. I had to buy a recessed outlet for the power as well. Not a defect with the product, just the nature of having such a low profile mount.

A couple other quibbles:

- My tv VESA mounts only allow for 1 mounting location for the hangers. This basically means that you can’t adjust the height once you put the rectangular bracket on the wall. Just another example of why you should plan ahead, ensure that you have the height correct when installing the lag bolts. This may just be a limitation of my TV.

- The bolts used to attached the tv to the hangers are not easily accessed due to the design of the hangers. (Had to buy a flexible link for screwing in the bolts. Again, it may just be due to the design of my TV, but it could apply to yours as well.
