Chief Thinstall TV Mounts: "Industry's Thinnest"

While thin has definitely been in lately with some flatscreen models becoming no thicker than two of your finger, we haven't heard of a TV mount being marketed as the "industry's thinnest". Until now of course, or we wouldn't be telling you about it.

Chief's new Thinstall Series features TV mounts with depths slim enough to accommodate even the thinnest LCD and plasma sets on the market. Take for instance the Thinstall PSMT2015, designed for Hitachi's new UltraThin TVs, which are just 1.5" thin. With a mount depth of 0.49-inches, it's actually only one-third as "thick" as the Hitachi it supports.

The steel mounts can hold weights of up to 175 pounds, plenty of strength to hold up models that are as thin as an inch. They all feature a Glide Lock for easy install with no tools, lateral shift and an open wall plate eliminating much of the need to fiddle with electrical cord placement.

Chief says that all of their Thinstall mounts are custom-made, and as new and thinner flat panels hit the market, they'll be there to build the corresponding thin TV mounts.
