The Benefits Of Mounting

[The following is a release from Chief Manufacturing]

January 2, 2008

There are many benefits to mounting Plasma Flat Panel TVs, LCD Flat Panel TVs, Computer Monitors and Projectors. Flat panels are showing up in every venue - digital signage in hotel lobbies, hanging from the ceiling in bars and restaurants, training rooms in large corporations, and all across airports for travelers looking for their flight. Projector mounts can also be spotted in home theater settings and inside classrooms at schools. Chief Manufacturing offers a wide variety of mounting solutions for every industry. Step 1: Why mount a flat panel or projector? Mounting a flat panel or projector has many important benefits for the user and the facility in which the technology is mounted: Maximize Viewing - Mounts provide movement and flexibility, and help to maximize the impact of audiovisual equipment. In ceiling installations, the mount raises the projector or flat panel for better viewing of the image. Swing arm flat panel TV mounts allow the user to extend the flat panel out from the wall, and pivot the screen from side-to-side to achieve the perfect viewing angle. Security - Most commercial applications require added security to protect the projector or flat panel against damage or theft. Chief mounting solutions provide security in multiple ways. First, most Chief flat panel TV mounts allow the installer to add a padlock, locking the flat panel onto the mount. Other Chief mounts include integrated security with keyed locking, or fully enclose the projector or flat panel to protect against weather, vandalism and theft. Space Savings - Mounts get projectors and flat panels off of desks, furniture and other surfaces, saving valuable square footage. Architects and designers are using mounts to capitalize on usable space, while continuing to integrate world-class technology in their designs. Chief mounts are the lowest profile mounts in the industry, and work seamlessly to maximize ease of installation and end-user operation. Aesthetics - Mounting solutions can greatly help to improve room aesthetics where technology is present. Low profile designs keep projectors and flat panels snug against the wall, blending seamlessly with the décor. Cable management keeps electrical cables concealed, and most mounts are available in black and silver to match the flat panel bezel or projector color. With the addition of optional accessories, like Chief's collection of decorative flat panel frames, you can turn your flat panel into a work of art. Step 2: Choosing the right mount. Before choosing a mount, it is important to know what to look for. Chief's projector and flat panel TV mounts are designed with innovative features for fast installation and easy adjustments: Projector Mounts: One of the most important characteristics of a good projector mount is the ability to achieve and maintain precise roll, pitch and yaw adjustments, a defining feature of Chief's RPA™ and RPA Elite™ Series mounts. Unlike any other mount on the market Chief mounts provide pinpoint registration for roll, pitch and yaw that is securely maintained when removing the projector for maintenance. Another important feature is quick disconnect/reconnect, which allows easy removal and replacement of the projector on the mount. Lastly, when security is important in commercial applications, look to Chief's RPA Elite with integrated keyed locking, or the RPMA all-in-one security projector mount that includes an interface that conceals all connection hardware. Plasma Flat Panel Mounts: In-wall mounts are the perfect solution when aesthetics are important. Chief's PAC501™ In-Wall Swing Arm provides a no-profile mounting solution, and still offers up to 25" of extension for optimal viewing. Look for mounts that are low profile and easy to install, like Chief's PLP™ Pull-N-Tilt Wall Mount, which excels at keeping flat panels tucked close to the wall while offering advanced tilt without tools! Easy installation features to look for include cable management, lateral shift and self-leveling. It is also important to look for mounts that are stable and have a locking system. Chief's Q-Latch™ Locking System is included with all FUSION mounts and ensures stable mounting through a self-aligning mating system that properly places the display on the mount with a latching flag to confirm security. Automated mounts are an innovative new solution providing remote controlled operation. With the CM1W18™ Automated Swing Arm, you can extend and rotate the mount with the press of a button! LCD Flat Panel Mounts: When choosing an LCD flat panel mount it is important to think about adjustability, ergonomics and space savings. Chief's mounts feature the exclusive Centris® Technology for fingertip adjustability that self-adjusts to support different screen sizes, and provides smooth tilt all without tools! The easy adjustment makes Chief mounts ergonomically friendly, helping to reduce tension in the neck, back and shoulders. The LCD flat panel mounts are great for any installation, and can support large LCD monitors. Plus, the low-profile design makes them the perfect solution when desk space is at a premium. If you need to mount multiple monitors, Chief has the perfect solution with multi-monitor table and grommet stands like the FTP440™. Chief also offers the innovative FCY220™ Dual Monitor Mount with two height-adjustable arms that move independently for the ultimate in flexibility.
