Review:
If you are looking for the ultimate in flexibility when it comes to displaying your extra large LCD or Plasma TV then the Omnimount UCL-X is likely to be just the ticket. The question is what makes this particular model worth so much money? Other extra large television brackets are often far cheaper than this which begs the discussion as to whether this particular mount is worth forking over your hard earned cash for.
First things first, let’s consider functionality. The Omnimount UCL-X allows for an excellent amount of movement to give you the optimum viewing angle, wherever you may be sitting. This is an ideal solution if you find yourself wishing that you could adjust the viewing angle of your static flat wall mount. The ability to tilt, twist and extend your screen opens the door to the option of utilising the space in your room more effectively. If you have two adjoining rooms, such as a partitioned kitchen and dining room area, you may be able to position your television in such a way as to allow it to be seen in both living areas using this cantilever wall bracket.
This much flexibility for an extra large TV is almost unheard of, and immediately begins to explain where the price tag comes from. As to whether it’s worth it though keep reading, as we move on to the aesthetic appeal of the Omnimount UCL-X.
The advantage of flat wall brackets, or even those that just tilt, is that your LCD or Plasma TV can be fitted incredibly close to your wall. This isn’t the case with cantilever mounts as the added flexibility that they provide prevents it. That’s why it is vitally important that their appearance is in keeping with the rest of your room to save them standing out like a sore thumb. In this instance, the bracket is finished to an exceptionally high standard in a silver colour, producing a sleek and attractive appearance.
Don’t think that the designers have just concentrated on looks though; the materials have been specifically chosen to be both strong and appealing. No expense has been spared in utilising light weight and high-quality metals so that your expensive television set will be completely safe and secure.
Even the installation is a doddle with wonderfully clear written instructions and all of the wall fixings that you will need included within the box. Any TV sets that come complete with the VESA mounting system (a series of four holes on the back of the set in a square or rectangle) are compatible with this unit. A lift and lock mechanism will even help you to quickly and efficiently place your own LCD TV onto the bracket and secure it safely.
There really is no TV wall bracket quite like the Omnimount UCL-X. Its strength, sleek design and easy installation mean that it is unparalleled amongst most other mounts, particularly those for extra large screens. If you desire the flexibility that a cantilever system offers and can afford this particular product it comes highly recommended.

WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PLB 126M UNIVERSAL PLASMA T.V BRACKET WHICH IS AT £50.00
THANKS
The PLB126M is a good bracket, and obviously much more affordable! The advantage of this Omnimount unit would be for particularly large televisions, as supporting a 60+ inch TV that’s as heavy as 90kg is quite an ask, one that this bracket successfully achieves. For a television that is less than 50 inches in size I would recommend the PLB126M over this unit though.
Hope that helps,
