 Great product -- expensive but definitely worth it |

| I purchased this item to wall-mount a 50" plasma TV. It is a very high quality product, was easy to mount (though it definitely takes two people), the instructions were clear, and the manufacturer included all the necessary hardware and then some. Once mounted, it is very stable and easy to adjust, and adjusts in many dimensions (left to right, tilt, pan, roll, in and out). The wishbone extension can hold the TV as close to the wall as 5", or as far as 28". I am very glad I spent the extra few dollars to buy such a professional product. |
Omni Wishbone Mount for Plasma - Great Piece of Equipment

| I purchased this unit after extensive research. This unit is superior or equivalent to the units I found in high end electronics stores for $600 to $800. The engineering is incredible. I am so pleased with this unit. The manufacturer provides an extensive portfolio of hardware to meet any installation needs of the adapater plate or the unit to the wall. This unit was very easy to install. Two people are definitely required to hold the unit to the wall when bolting it up and also when lifting the Plasma onto the stand. A template is provided. A person installing this unit needs a tape measure, level, drill, 5/16" bit, and stud finder...six 5/16" bolts into the studs and the installation is complete (again, all hardware is provided). I saved myself $300.00 by buying this unit online. I purchased my unit from Dependable Resource. I purchase online often and this was truly the best online experience I've ever had. Highly recommend the Omnimount and the seller. |
One of the best wall mounts on the market!

My husband purchased this wall mount for our 50" plasma. We have a little smaller plasma on a stand but wanted to try a wall mount for a bigger tv in the family room. It holds the tv beautifully and supports the weight even when it is completely telescoped off the wall. It swivels left and right, tilts up and down and allows for great viewing angle from virtually anywhere in the house (if one has an open floor plan).
We downloaded the instructions off the manufacturer's website, as the ones that were included were not too clear (to us). Instructions on the website were great: more detailed, had clear pictures and explanations. The only difficulty we encountered was with our studs. The mount of course must be drilled into two studs. However, if one is in Florida and is in a newly built home, he or she will quickly find out that studs in the non-load bearing walls are hollow metal and not wood. We did not risk using the bolts included in the set of hardware and purchased at a local Home Depot store a HILTI 3/8" x 2-1/2" Toggler Brand Toggle Bolt - it worked great and we telescope the tv as far as the mount allows all the time.

OMNIMOUNT Wishbone Universal Combo Plasma TV Wall Mount

I bought this wall mount for my 42" Plasma TV. Its probably one of the best one's out there because of the multi-functional viewing options.
It goes left and right, it tilts up and down, and pulls straight out for closer viewing. This product is made real strong and if mounted corrected in the studs,
it won't be falling off your wall. The unit is heavy, but you need the good construction to hold your TV in place.
I recommend anyone that has a 40" or more TV to use this multi-function wall mount made by OMNIMOUNT. Excellent product but little expensive.
I paid $340.00 from Ritz Camera thru Amazon site, it was the cheapest merchant out there and offered free delivery. Delivery was made as promised and in excellent condition. |

Absolutely the best mount you could buy for a plasma TV. I installed this myself with the new Pioneer Elite 150FD 60" plasma and it holds the 145 pounds quite well. It is rated to 200. You need a couple friends just to put the TV on the mount due to the weight and you need someone free to tighten the allen bolts down.
Whatever you do don't buy this in a brick and mortar store. Between Best Buy/Ultimate Electronics/Circuit City, they wanted $610.00 in the store. way too much. I bought it on Amazon for $225.00. Only $50.00 more than a tilt mount in a store. I luckily had the chance to return the tilt mount since there is no way I could hide my DirectTV receiver and wireless headphones behind a tilt mount other than to make a pocket in the wall. This is a much easier approach.
If you want to hide items such as a receiver/dvd/headphones this is an easy way to do it and still have access to the items. I have installed a tilt mount and it is a pain in the a** to wire. This makes it so much easier to get access behind the TV. The outlex openings are sized for a duplex box and I can get all the phone/2RG6/Electrical I want and still have more room above the mount for a monster power conditioner.
It is about 5 inches away from the wall and everyone says it looks like a piece of art on the wall. Simple and clean. You can see the structure from the side, but I hid everthing on the far side and mounted a 4 inch trophy shelf for my receiver. Works great. |
Very Simple to use and install

If you are considering this mount, then you should buy it. It works exactly like you think. In, out, left, right, tilt forward, back... yep.
I weight 200 lbs, and I extended the mount to the full 28" extension and it held me just fine. I am using a 52" LCD that weighs 97 lbs, so it's great.
Installation is very easy. I don't know how people could spend more than maybe 30 minutes doing this. You just drill 6 pilot holes for the lag bolts into the studs, which need to be 16" on center, which any standard home is. Then, you mount the back plate to the wall. If you hit your studs right, you've done the hard part. Then you just screw in the cantilever arm and that part is done. Put the bracket on the back of your TV, and then you just hang it on the arm and tighten the bolts.
It's extremely simple and easy to do. This is a top-shelf product. |
Simply amazing

| I have a 60 inch plasma mounted on this mount and it still requires little effort to move it. The ability to tilt the screen in addition to its wide movement and articulation I could not be happier. Great mount and I would recommend it to anyone with a 50+ inch TV. |
