Sanus Systems is now shipping the VisionMount LMT15 Motorized Tilting Mount, the newest addition to the company's award-winning VisionMount line. The LMT15 offers automated movement by remote control, making it easy for consumers to adjust the viewing angle of their TVs.

The LMT15 automatically tilts to a pre-set position up to 13° when the TV is turned on, or the user can position it as desired with an included IR remote control. When the TV is turned off, the mount returns to its home position against the wall for a low-profile appearance.

"Motorized tilting mounts are the perfect solution for applications where automated movement is desirable, such as above fireplaces and other hard-to-reach locations, or where you might need to reduce glare on the TV screen," said Keith Pribyl, vice president of consumer sales for Sanus.

The LMT15 offers a variety of features, including: ClickFit technology that allows power conditioners and other small accessories to snap onto the mount, so they're…

Sanus Systems, a leading global manufacturer of audio/video mounts, furnishings and consumer electronics accessories, has announced a new category within its award-winning VisionMount® line of mounts for flat-panel TVs.

The new offering of VisionMount Super Slim mounts are designed to maximize the sleek appearance of ultra-thin LED, LCD and plasma TVs, allowing them to be placed less than an inch from the wall.

VisionMount Super Slim mounts are available for shipment beginning today, with an initial offering of two low-profile models: the LL11-B1 for large TVs from 37" - 65" and up to 150 lbs. and the ML11-B1 for medium TVs from 26" - 46" and up to 100 lbs.

“As TVs become thinner, consumers want them to sit even closer to the wall,” said Sanus Director of Product Management Steve Frank. “Our new Super Slim mounts fulfill this demand with one of the closest-to-the-wall depths available on the market — at just 0.55 inches.…

The patents are filed, and Chief Manufacturing is now poised to launch the thinnest thin TV mounts ever.

The company gave CE Pro the first look at its new family of Thinstall flat-panel mounts called Thinstall Universal, available in tilt and fixed models.

Chief's original Thinstall mount – the one you see in the advertisements with a penny shown for reference – were pretty thin, with a depth of only .49 inches.

The problem was that the product was made for a single display, the Hitachi Ultra Thin TV.

The new models are universal, which is a good thing given all of the ultra-flat TVs now on the market.

Plus, they're even thinner than the originals, leaving only a .39-inch gap between the back of…

Chief Manufacturing and Sanus – sister mount manufacturers under the Milestone umbrella – are unveiling at CEDIA 2008 an automated tilt mount with a unique "remote control."

The unit, Sanus VisionMount LT15 (And Chief's CM8), is triggered by the optical audio connection on the TV. Sensing light from the fiber optic connector, the mount tilts forward when the TV is powered on, and returns flush to the wall (with a mere 3.3-inch offset) when the TV is turned off.

"Most TVs have optical audio, and hardly anyone uses it," says Sanus chief Jim Wohlford.

He says the mount is "perfect for above the fireplace," and other inaccessible locations where the TV may be too high for a comfortable viewing experience.
