Vantage Point AXSYS Articulating Wall mount for LCD TV with VESA 100mm/200mm

Designed to support LCD monitors with 100mm & 200mm VESA hole patterns, the Axsys articulating wall mount can support monitors weighing up to 100 pounds. Also, it features a unique design which allows leveling of the monitor, up to 5 degrees rotation left or right in any position it is placed in. Offering articulation at the wall and monitor, the mount permits for 5 degrees upward tilt and 15 degrees downward tilt for the precise viewing angle. The mount extends 18.5 inch from the wall, which allows for 180 degree side-to-side viewing depending on the size of the monitor. Additionally, the extended arm has been thoughtfully designed to completely disappear behind the monitor when it is pushed back to the wall.
Customer Review: Excellent Product
I just installed this about 4 hours ago. It took me an hour, even with my drill's batteries needing a charge. The trick is to follow the instructions. I looked around at many wall mounts and this was the best choice. It is recommended to mount it into a stud. Luckily in order for it to be centered on the wall I needed a stud approximately 16 inches to the left/right, and there was one there. It gives you offset holes to screw into a stud if you absolutely need it to be in a particular location. Process: 1 - Find Stud/Location to hang wall mount 2 - Place wall mounting bracket on the wall and mark drill hole. 3 - Using a 3/16" drill bit drill about 1 1/2 inches into the stud 4 - Screw long wood screw into the wall bracket/stud using a low speed drill. 5 - Approximately level vertically using a bubble level. Mark slotted hole and drill 3/16" hole again 1 1/2 inches deep into the stud. 6 - Screw long wood screw into the wall bracket/stud using a low speed drill until there is just enough play to move the bracket so it can be leveled finally. 7 - Level wall bracket vertically using level and tighten both screws. 8 - Finish inserting the last two screws. 9 - Follow the instructions on the sheet for the rest. Be sure to install the break mechanism that is supplied with the device. It really works well and you can tighten the stiffness of both arms. I left the front tilt screws just loose enough that I can place the LCD at any tilt without it falling all the way forward. I used a level to level the LCD horizontally and tightened those screws pretty good so it wouldn't lean on me. It looks great and I can sit in my kitchen and pull it from the wall and angle it towards me, or I can sit on the couch and have it tight against the wall. I'm going to look into zip tying the wires to the arm.
Customer Review: Leaves Alot To Be Desired In A Wall Mount
I bought this same wall mount at Best Buy. With the help of my son we put this up a couple of days ago. I am very disappointed in the overall design. I don't like the fastener's they use. This wall mount replaced another wall mount for a regular tv and that one was very secure in it's fastener's. This one makes me fear finding the LCD tv laying on the floor some morning. My biggest complaint about this is the lack of assembly instruction's. I finally tossed the instruction's aside and just winged it. I also bought this particular LCD wall mount because it tilts...well, we have tried and tried and still cannot figure out how to get this piece of junk to tilt so I am now going to return this to Best Buy and I'm looking for a new/better one. If the previous reviewer could tell me how they got theirs to tilt I would be ever so greatful. Oh and one more problem, once you put the plate on the back of the TV it cover's up all of your electronic ports. I'm not sure once we complete the install of HighDef service if I'll even be able to use this model because the plate covers up the HDMI port. There has to be better quality LCD wall mounts out there.


Performance of home cinema installations is influenced by the presence of boundaries, and so it is important to understand how sound propagates in a home cinema room. Let's imagine a home cinema with a starting speaker and a listener located somewhere at the home cinema seating area. Let's now assume that at some time (t=0) a signal is played through the speaker. There are three main aspects to how the sound of a speaker behaves in the cinema room, which are as follows:

1. After a short delay the listener in the cinema room will hear the sound of the starting speaker, which will have travelled the shortest distance between it and the listener. The delay will be a function of the distance, as sound travels 344 meters per second. The shortest path between the starting speaker and the listener is the direct path and therefore this is the first thing the listener hears. This component of the sound is called the direct sound. The direct component is important because it carries the information in the signal in an uncontaminated form. Therefore a high level of direct sound is required in home cinema installations, for a clear sound and good dialogue intelligibility. We need to point out that the intensity of the direct sound reduces as the square of the distance from the source, in the same way as a sound in free space.

2. A little time later the listener will then hear sounds which have been reflected off one or more surfaces (walls, floor, etc.). These sounds are called early reflections and they are separated in both time and direction from the direct sound. These sounds will vary as the home cinema speaker or the listener moves within the cinema room. We use these changes to give us information about both the size of the home cinema room and the position of the home cinema speakers in the space. If any of these reflections are much delayed, total path length difference longer than about 30 milliseconds, they will then be perceived as echoes. Early reflections can cause interference effects, and these can both reduce the intelligibility of dialogues of home cinema installations, and cause unwanted timbre change in music in the home cinema room. The intensity levels of the early reflections are affected by both the distance and the surface from which they are reflected. In general most surfaces in dedicated home cinemas absorb some of the sound energy and so the reflection is weakened by the absorption.

3. The absorption coefficient of acoustic wall treatments in home cinema installations defines the amount of energy, or power that is removed from the sound when it strikes them. In general the absorption coefficient of real acoustic treatments in a home cinema room will vary with frequency. The amount of energy, or power, removed by a given area of an acoustic wall panel will depend on the energy, or power, per unit area striking it. As the sound intensity is a measure of the power per unit area this means that the intensity of the sound reflected is reduced in proportion to the absorption coefficient.

High end home cinema designs will take early reflection analysis into consideration, in order to produce an acoustically correct home cinema environment.
