The bracket works perfectly for hanging my new 60 flatscreen tv on the wall. It is very well made and quiet heavy duty.

The OmniMount U3T is the Panasonic recommended flat screen tilt mount for their 55 plasma televisions. As such, I did not consider any other OmniMount models or other flat screen mount manufactures.
Overall installation is easy and fairly quick - total time from start to television up is less than two hours - but Im one to measure three times, evaluate the potential result before drilling, and then finally make the hole..
Even though the OmniMount mounting template should establish a horizontal alignment, I cant emphasize enough that if you have two persons available, to drill only one of the upper lag bolt pilot holes and partially install that upper fastener. Then with a level ensuring bracket horizontally, and the while the second person holds the bracket in this position, drill the other three pilot holes for the lag bolts
The opening between the mounting bars *should* accommodate an electrical outlet face plate. I thought it was too small and to ensure not crushing the face plate, I added 38 thick nylon spacers between the mount and the wall. If you are starting your installation from scratch, I highly recommend installing your electrical outlet horizontally rather than the typical vertical alignment - which will provide plenty of clearance and no need for the spacers.
OmniMount bag of fasteners contains items not listed on their parts inventory - thats because they use the same bag of fasteners for all their mounts. So there are unlisted labeled hardware.
The instructions has some of the hardware mislabeled - such as calling the hex wrench the flat washers and the washers the hex wrench. I found they have some of the fastener lengths swapped - but the metric sizes seemed labeled correctly. However, I recommend checking the flat screens mounting instructions for size of fastener to use then taking the extra step of getting a nut of that size to verify the threads of the fastener - rather than using the mounting threads in the back of the TV!
Instructions do not state specifically, but install the vertical mounting struts so that the tilt levers are facing outward.
OmniMount instructions say to place the vertical mounting struts in the full tilt-down position. I recommend about a half-way tilt . In that position, placing the struts on the bracket mounting rods was still easy and there was room for hands on the bottom of the TV without getting them mashed up against the wall.
Also, if a third person can be there to plug in the TV as it is being raised, that would be easier than standing on a ladder and going over the top of the TV to plug it in after it has been mounted.
Even with a nearly ninety-pound flat screen, the mount assembly and flat screen easily slid horizontally along the mounting bars.
Compared with other methods of hanging the vertical struts onto the horizontal bars, the OmniMount system is very secure - if you have all four hooks on the bars, the TV isnt going anywhere. Just flip the two locking tabs and you are done!
Enjoy!

It is difficult to write a meaningful review of this product, not because it has any defects, but simply because it is invisible. The Omnimount was installed by Vanns technicians, so I cannot comment directly on ease of installation it seemed quite straightforward. It does not require any attention, but quietly does what it is supposed to do -- support the TV.

This mount was very solid and holds our new HDTV perfectly. I like the fact that it can tilt.
A little pricey. Time will tell whether the price and quality are worth it. So far, so good.

The sales guy talked me into this bracket and I am glad he did. It went up easy. I bought two and had them both mounted in under an hour. They are HEAVY. I am not woried about the TV falling off the wall, more concerned about the wall falling down.

the bracket worked perfectly with the TV that was purchased. We originally bought a regular bracket that didnt tilt, but it wasnt the proper angle for viewing. The tilt bracket worked much better.

I have not had occasion to move this around much, but I like the idea that I can tilt this to eliminate glare from the windows, etc.
It also helps give access to the back of the TV.

The product was delivered much earlier than I expected, it was perfectly packaged to prevent any damage and was very easy to install and use. Once the television was installed 50 plasma it was secured attached and can easily be adjusted and moved to the desired viewing position.

We bought this flat screen tv mount at the same time we purchased our tv from Vanns. We used Vanns very helpful live chat option to get recommendations on just the right mount for our new television. The OmniMount U3T was just what we were looking for. It is very well made, classy, fits a wide range of sets in case we get a larger tv in the future and was very easy to install. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quality product to support their new flat screen tv.

The mounting plate is flimsy if the screws are not on the end holes. The plate pulls away from the wall with the TV hanging if the screws are not on the end holes. Besides that the hardware that screws to the TV is strong.

I recently purchased 2 of the OmniMount U3T flat panel television mounts for my new home.
I used one for the Samsung 63 Plasma TV in my home theatre and the other
I used to mount a 50 Samsung Plasma TV in my denoffice. These are the perfect
mount for these size TVs and couldnt have been easier to install. My audiovisual
tech was apprenshive when I told him I already had the mounts for the TVs
until he saw they were OmniMounts and said that is the only mount he uses.
It took him less than 15 minutes each to put up these mounts and then they
simply lifted up my TVs and set them onto the mount - it was that simple.
I almost regret paying to have this done once I saw how easy it was to do.
I have about 6 either way that I can slide the TVs on their mounts and they
both can tilt either up or down way farther than I would ever need them to do.
With the TVs up on the wall, the mount are almost invisible from a side view
and totally hidden from the front. I highly recommend you use an OmniMount
for any wall mount flat screen TV and do it yourself, you dont need to pay
someone to do this - its that easy!
