Peerless Industries’ SmartMount™ 700 Enhancements Optimize Screen Adjustment and Installation Time

- Mounting Small or Mid-Sized Panels Now as Simple as Hanging a Picture Frame -

CHICAGO,Il - April 27, 2006 - Peerless Industries, Inc., the industry leader in audio/visual mounting solutions, today announced enhancements to its professional-grade aluminum SmartMount™ 700 Series mounts that optimize tilt and roll adjustment and installation time. These high-end pivot and articulating mounts are designed for 10"-37" flat panel screens in hospitality and restaurant/entertainment environments, which require maximum viewing capability and a stylish look. The enhanced mounts will be shown for the first time at HD Expo, booth number 4269, Las Vegas NV.


Tilt and Roll Enhancements

The new tilt and roll enhancements to the 700 Series pivot and articulating wall mounts provide sturdier, more reliable tilt and roll adjustments, ensuring that the screen will stay at the desired angle even with repeated use. These mounts incorporate up to 30 degrees of tilt and allow extension from the wall up to 10" for the pivot models, and up to 20" for the articulating models. They offer the ability to pivot and articulate a flat panel screen in applications that require dynamic viewing capabilities in locations such as behind a check-in desk a guest suite, in a bar or VIP room in restaurants or other entertainment venues.

Faster, Easier Installation

The enhancements result in faster and easier screen-to-mount attachment methods that enable one-person installation. For small screens, installers simply attach the included screen attachment screws to the back of the flat panel screen and hang it, just like a picture frame. For mid-sized flat panel screens all that is required is attaching the adapter plate to the screen and hanging it on the mount.

"The enhanced tilt and roll design and improved screen attachment features that we now provide with the popular SmartMount™ 700 series allow the installer to mount more products with less time and effort" said Derrik Lam, Director, Mounting Solutions. "These features also provide maintenance-free operation and cost savings at the time of set-up"

The SmartMount™ 700 Series universal articulating and pivot flat panel wall mounts include the 730 line for small (10"-22") screens and the 740 line for mid-sized (23"-37") screens. The articulating models feature integrated cable management that keeps cords and cables out of sight for a clean look. The 700 Series’ anodized aluminum finish adds ultra-modern look to any room presenting a visually appealing, functional and reliable mounting solutions for flat panel screens in hospitality and restaurant/entertainment environments.
