I have been using the OmniMount UCL-XB for about a year now. I am using it to mount a 42" Visio LCD on the wall in my 105 year old house. Unlike the reviewers that had problems with mounting due to stud spacing with in there walls, I lucked out and this mount matched up very well. I ended up using four 3" Lag Bolts/Lag Screws, but once the mount was up I was able to hang from it my self (about 215 lbs.). Insulation took me about an hour and a half, and make sure you have a friend. It goes a lot smother if you have someone to lend a hand and help hold this and the TV up. I have not used the integrated cable management system (just have not gotten around to it, lazy I know) but the ability to pull the television away from the wall, I would have to say at least two feet is great for hooking up everything. The mount is a little stiff, and it takes a little muscle to accomplish this, but I would rather have a mount that holds a little too well than one that allows my TV to move too freely. I am extremely pleased, even if this is the most expensive mount I have seen. I am very confident that when I finally upgrade to a 60" this will be able to take it with out any issues.

I wanted this tv mount for a while and finally got it. It's an excellent product, high quality and fully functional. I really recommend it. The shipping was fast and the product more than expected.

The mount itself is high quality and very easy to install if you have some basic skills. I was very picky on the install and it only took me an hour or so. It is a little more expensive than other mounts, but I wanted to make sure it would work well and I wouldn't have problems adjusting the TV when it was on the mount. The TV can swing or tilt with ease. Very stable and sturdy. This mount will last longer than I do. Only issue I had was with the shipping. Bought from 6th ave- first box was all beat up and some of the plastic covers were broke - returned for replacement. Second box looked great, but when I opened it there still was one broken plastic cover. This time I emailed OmniMount instead of returning cause it took so long to get it replaced from 6th ave (3 weeks). OmniMount was very helpful. They had no problem sending a whole new set of covers.
