I LOVE THIS MOUNT!
I bought a huge flat panel television and did the research to figure out how to mount it on the wall. I started looking at all my options and only included this in that spirit. I had no intention of paying upwards of $250 for a mount!
Well, after reading several raving reviews I started getting interested. Nothing else had prompted such a passionate response. Now I know why!
The review that really pushed me over was the guy who recommended downloading the installation instructions and assured everyone that it really wasn't that difficult to install. He was right!
I went ahead with the purchase and the next day downloaded the instructions. After reading them over a couple times I had a clear understanding of how I was going to mount this thing. When it arrived I set aside some time on a Saturday and I put up my 50" Plasma TV, on this mount, ALL ALONE!
That's right a one man install! It was so straight forward and easy.
It took about 3 hours to get it all done but

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.

Good, sturdy mount although perhaps overkill for my TV. The cardboard drill template is helpful for locating the holes. The four lag bolts will hold the mount securely to the wall studs. You will have plenty of leftover mounting hardware. It does take at least two people to mount the TV to the bracket.

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

I used the Omnimount Wishbone wall mount for a 46" Samsung LCD TV. The installation directions were concise and easy to follow. The included accessories were plentiful and well organized. The added sample mount cutout was extremely useful. I did have a couple of problems with the design of the wishbone mount. The wall bracket is easy to install but lacks the flexibility for irregular stud locations. The wall-bracket mounting holes were designed for very specific stud locations. If you want to center your TV on a wall, you better hope your studs are spaced evenly on the wall. The bracket does not give you must flexibility of movement. The Omnimount wants you to hide your cables in the bracket arms. There is not enough room in the arms to place all the cables, especially if you are using component, multiple coax, or expecting use more than one accessory device with your tv. The joints are a little stiff and make movement difficult when initially installing the tv. But, these joints could

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.

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.

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.

its pretty good, but the price is probably the best. i found this exact same product at an ABT store for 480 (not including tax). so this saved me a lot of money, but it probably would have been simpler if i bought it from them because they would have installed it. like every constructive item, its difficult to install, but just because everything else is difficult like it, is no excuse for not getting 4 stars.
pros:
1. holds up to around 200 pounds (i use it for a 115 pound aquos sharp LCD hdtv television).
2. cheaper online
3. tilts up, down, left, right.
cons:
1. hard to install
2. big and heavy (find a really big and strong place to put it for support)
overall, it really depends on what you like. if you like life a little more simple, and money doesn't apply to you, buy it from the store, but if your looking for a budget buy and you know what your doing, then buy it online. but this product is really flexible and not that hard to move (but has SOME resistance). highly recommended
