So you say you get a crick in your neck because your beautiful plasma-screen TV is hanging on the wall like a nice piece of art, but your couch is in the totally wrong location for it? You’re frustrated because you can tilt, move, and adjust your computer screen, but not that durn TV? You want something that holds your TV to the wall and looks like Peter Weller as Robocop when it moves?
Well, there’s never a problem without someone trying to figure out how to solve it. In the case of you, your neck, Peter Weller, and your nice plasma TV, the folks at CLO Systems think they have the product for you: the TM1 motorized tilt mount system, available for 26”-37” LCD and Plasma TVs.
The TM1 is “the thinnest motorized mounting solution on the market today,” and enables you to extend your TV from the wall and tilt it downward by up to 15 degrees. It comes with a remote and learnable IR receiver that allows you to achieve their preferred viewing angle with the touch of button–no getting up to adjust the TV, or grunting and straining while you move your TV around by hand. All yours at an MSRP of $129.
The TM1 is scheduled to be demoed at CES. Go to the CLO Systems web site (or CES, if you’re that lucky) for more info. Full press release follows:
You tilt your computer screen, and even your watch when glancing at your wrist, to achieve the optimal viewing angle depending on the lighting of your environment and your sitting or standing position. However, until now it has been impossible to maneuver the piece of technology we often spend hours looking at for entertainment – our television screens.
Anyone who has watched a show online or a movie during a plane trip knows that having the ability to tilt the screen you are viewing can vastly improve the picture quality. Whether your prefer to kick-back in a recliner or spread out on the floor when you are relaxing in front of your television set, the TM1 from CLO Systems eliminates the need for you to prop your head up on pillows to watch your favorite show.

The TM1 transforms stationary wall-mounted televisions into mobile machines capable of extending from the wall and tilting downward up to 15 degrees, ensuring that you see the best picture from any perch. The TM1 also returns the television to a stationary position flush with the wall when you turn the set off, so you do not have to worry about your television becoming an obtrusive focal point in your room.
The thinnest motorized mounting solution on the market today, the TM1 holds televisions a mere inch from the wall, making it nearly invisible to the eye. Despite its slender design, the TM1 is capable of supporting 26”-37” screens and up to 44 pounds, making it the perfect mount for LCD and super thin LED flat panel televisions.
While the technology built into the TM1 is futuristic in design, installing it does not require a degree in rocket science. The process is as simple as hanging an ordinary manual mount. Operating the TM1 is a breeze as well. The accompanying Remote Control and Learnable IR Receiver allow users to achieve their preferred viewing angle with the touch of button.
High style and technology do no translate to a large price tag for the TM1. It is affordable and comparable in price to its manual mount counterparts. CLO Systems will be exhibiting their new product line at CES 2010 booth number 8235 Central Hall. To purchase or for more information please visit www.closystems.com.
