Remote-Controlled Mount Designed and Priced for Consumer Installation


LAS VEGAS, January 7, 2008 – CLO Systems, an industry leader in advanced mounting solutions for flat panel displays, is showing its brand new X2 robotic mounting arm to this week’s 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. With a price point just under $800, the X2 is today’s most affordable remote controlled robotic wall mount built especially for non-custom, general consumer mounting applications. Engineered as a partner for the growing number of 37-50” flat panel TVs being installed in living rooms, bedrooms, and open family rooms, the new X2 solves all of the viewing issues inherent with flat screen TVS; glare, reflection and off-axis viewing problems such as color shift and loss of picture detail, but at a fraction of the cost of its bigger brothers.

“As the first, high-quality robotic mount at a true consumer price point, our X2 is an exquisitely designed motorized mount, built to seamlessly secure and move today’s most popular-sized flat screen TVs,” said Ken Nguyen, director of sales and marketing at CLO Systems. “And, we didn’t skimp on any of the features for the X2. We have incorporated performance functions you would expect only from the more expensive models.”

The first unit from CLO priced and built exclusively for this market segment, the X2 is designed to fit into any room décor unobtrusively. The beautiful silky black mount is custom tailored with refined style and patent-pending technology features that bring enhanced versatility to all home and family viewing venues.

The unit can handle flat panel TV sets up to 135 pounds and, when retracted, is only 4.2” deep flush to the wall. To maximize viewing angles and remove outdoor glare or lighting reflections, the X2 can left and right swivel up to 30° with a tilt up/down range of +7° /-20°. The one-of-a-kind mount operates hands- and smudge-free through an IR remote control with two individual presets for personalized, or time-of-day, programming. In addition, the unit is capable of RS-232 interface and has a 100v – 240v auto ranging power supply and comes with a complete universal installation kit.

The X2’s exclusive auto mode on/off function joins the TV and the mount, and automatically returns the flat panel TV to its recessed position upon TV-turnoff, and to its last preset position upon TV-turn on. A true winner for the consumer electronics marketplace – the X2 is custom technology at customer pricing!

The X2 and other mounts from CLO are also on display in South Hall 1 booth # 20923 with CLO’s strategic partner Chief | Sanus Systems (CSAV), www.chiefmfg.com and www.sanus.com.
