Perhaps the most important feature in new products is anything that helps an integrator do a job more efficiently. Sanus, a provider of mounts and accessories for TVs and smart devices, has been assisting installers for years in that department and the company’s latest Advanced Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT mounts continue that mission.
Available in small, medium, and large sizes to accommodate 19-to-90-inch TVs, the mounts introduce Sanus’ 4D + SHIFT technology.
The feature enables post-installation vertical height adjustment of up to 4 inches for 19-to-43-inch TVs (VSF817-B2), 6 inches for 32-to-65-inch TVs (VMF822-B2), or 8 inches for 42-to-90-inch TVs (VLF828-B2).
“Any integrator or discerning homeowner knows just an inch of adjustment can mean perfection, but it can be frustrating and time-consuming to achieve,” says Philip Wessberg, Sanus’ Sr. Product Manager.
“Our new Sanus mounts featuring SHIFT technology solve this challenge. If a TV doesn’t happen to end up in the desired position or is accidentally mismeasured during installation, the SHIFT feature allows for easy TV height adjustment, either up or down, ensuring that the TV is perfectly positioned where the homeowner wants it. With its simple and intuitive design, the Advanced Full-Motion Mount ensures a clear and hassle-free installation in just three easy steps.”
Lightapalooza took place in late February, and the growth of the event has mirrored the rapid ascension lighting fixtures and controls.
This flexibility is particularly useful for mounting TVs above mantles, on TV consoles, or around pre-existing wall outlets, the company suggests.
Plus, the SHIFT capability allows for future adjustments, accommodating additions like soundbars or seasonal decorations.
The SHIFT height-adjusting feature is easily achieved with the twist of the SHIFT handle (Model VLF828) that is hidden behind the TV and lowered when needed for adjustments.
The handle can also assist with moving large TVs. Because larger TVs may be too big to grip on both sides, installers or homeowners can deploy the SHIFT handle and use it to assist with easily moving the TV into the desired position.
Beneath the mount’s stylish exterior is an ultra-strong, solid steel frame that provides maximum support and security, Sanus describes.
With a lower-profile depth than traditional full-motion mounts, the Advanced Full-Motion 4D + SHIFT mounts help position TVs closer to the wall, creating a more streamlined look.
The products also feature FollowThru, Sanus’ through-arm cable management feature, which allows cables to be routed through the arms of the TV mount for a clean, organized look for any home entertainment system.
Additionally, Sanus’ FluidMotiontech enables the mounted TV to be extended, tilted, and swiveled with ease, regardless of its weight or thickness, according to the company.
With Virtual Axis, glare and reflections caused by lights or windows can be reduced by tilting the display up or down with one’s finger.
If the TV requires any additional leveling once installed, ProSet allows for micro-adjustments. The mounts also include Steady Set functionality to ensure the TV will stay where the viewer wants it — no drifting, shifting, or unwanted movement.
