Continuing on its legacy of creating form and functionally excellent products, Premier Mounts (www.premiermounts.com) has set the new standard with its new ultra-thin flat-panel mount. Consumers can stop worrying about compromising their room design with big, bulky flat-panel mounts. Premier Mounts’ new World’s Thinnest Mount allows flat-panel TVs to hang on the wall like a picture.

Debuting at the 2009 CES trade show in Las Vegas (booth #20507), and available to consumers in mid-January, the Premier Mounts World’s Thinnest Mount (WTFM3765) allows flat-panel TVs to hang less than a ½ inch (.37 inches exactly) from the wall; closer than any other mount on the market. Combining form and function, the WTFM3765 fits flat-panels from 37 to 65 inches.

“Thinner TVs are now becoming the standard in high-end consumer electronics,” said Eric Mancini, product manager at Premier Mounts. “With the World’s Thinnest Mount, consumers can incorporate flat-panel TVs into their living space without compromising or cluttering their room’s décor; a flat-panel now can hang on the wall like a picture and contribute to – not take away from – the design of a space.”

By combining the World’s Thinnest Mount with today’s ultra-thin flat-panel TVs, consumers and decorators can create functional and stylish spaces that don’t have to focus on the TV. Like a picture hanging on the wall, flat-panels can now fit into the décor of nearly any space.

“Despite the economic downturn, industry experts forecast that consumers will still purchase electronics and home goods.” said Mancini. “That said, consumers are being very deliberate with their purchase decisions. How a TV is mounted in a room is as important as how the room looks. Premier Mounts’ World’s Thinnest Mount provides homeowners with a sleek and sophisticated mounting solution that easily fits into any room décor.”

The WTFM3765’s unique design including an expandable back plate and brackets allow the mount to fit a wide range of displays on the market. The spring-loaded brackets with built-in safety release are designed to keep the flat-panel secure. The WTFM3765’s open design provides for easy cable and J-Box access. The mount features built-in lateral shift and supports up to 100 lbs. Available in a black powder-coat finish, Premier Mounts’ World’s Thinnest Mount has an MSRP of $229.99.

Premier Mounts’ World’s Thinnest Mount will be available to purchase online at www.premiermounts.com and in select retail outlets such as Sears, Fry’s and K-Mart.
