Sanus Systems' VisionMount LMT15 motorized tilting mount provides automated movement by remote control, making it easy to adjust the viewing angle of your TV. It can automatically tilt to a pre-set position up to 13 degrees when the TV is turned on, or it can be positioned as desired with the IR remote control. When the TV is turned off, the mount returns to a neutral position, flat against the wall, for a low-profile appearance. It's available in black for $319, and supports flat panel displays from 40-60-inches, weighing up to 150 lbs.

The LMT15 offers a variety of features, including: ClickFit, a technology that allows power conditioners and other small accessories to snap onto the mount, so they're hidden behind the TV yet easily accessible. An open wall-plate design provides for wiring flexibility. The extruded aluminum frame makes it incredibly easy to install the mount and provide a strength-to-weight ratio with corrosion resistance greater than steel. Motion-detection sensors are used for safety reassurance.
