Sanus joins the tilting wall mount crowd with VisionMount LT25


With Stewart Filmscreen and OmniMount doling out all new motorized mounts for CEDIA, we reckoned it was only a matter of time before Sanus hollered "me too!" Right on cue, the VisionMount LT25 has been revealed, boasting aluminum alloy rails and high-grade ABS decorative end caps, a weight of just 3.5-pounds and post-installation height and leveling adjustments. The device can handle HDTVs from 30- to 60-inches in size (up to 175-pounds), and best of all, the $219.99 price tag won't sting too awfully bad when picking one up in black or silver.

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.

An offset HDTV wall-mount

Chiefs wall mountMounting HDTVs on the wall is all the rage, but it isn't the easiest thing in the world and even when you employee a professional to run power and video cables up the wall, sometimes the structure of you wall just isn't right for the optimal placement. Cheif's new HDTV wall mount is designed for exactly that problem. Rather than install additional supports in the wall, the mount is designed to be mounted on the existing studs and then will slide in either direction so you can center the set in just the right spot. No word on the price, but it should be available this summer.

How to run power to a wall mounted TV



People just love to mount TVs on the wall, not sure if it's just the wife factor or what, but there is no doubt it's the thing to do. There are a few problems though, how high, which mount, where do you put the rest of your equipment, and how to you get power to it? Now, we don't know what the electrical codes are like in your area -- seriously we don't, you have to check for yourself -- but in most areas you can't just run the power wire through walls; and while we doubt an inspector will be knocking on your door anytime soon, if there was a fire, the insurance company might not pay out. But don't worry, there are easy ways to get the job done properly, and if you play your cards right, you'll even be able to use a UPS or power conditioner.
