OmniMount's John Deutch demoed the new full-motion ActionMount Play40 mount and was able to literally manhandle a 60-inch TV into a variety of positions with near-effortless ease. This is a great way to introduce a new product, and OmniMount floored us with their interactive TV wall mount based on Ergotron's Constant Force Technology. Constant Force Technology is pretty cool - if not a bit mysterious. Within the mount are a combination of a spring, cam assembly, and even a pulley. Put it all together and you get the OmniMount ActionMount PLAY40, which makes it possible for the display to be positioned exactly where you want it... and you get to move it around without needing a second person or having to loosen up anything.

Ergotron’s patented Constant Force Technology brings a new element of weight adjustability to the OmniMount line, in products that swiftly adjust multiple size and weight displays. This gives consumers effortless lift, pivot and tilt functionality at price points that will provide retailers the highest accessory attachment rates to their TV sales.
