WallWizard has introduced their new XM series of articulating mounts for thin flat-panel televisions. Two mounts are currently available: the XM60 (for 40-60” TVs) and the XM37 (for 26-37” TVs). Both mounts feature a unique cam mechanism that allows the TV to swivel 90 degrees left or right, or tilted up and down (+3 / -15 degrees).

The mounts were designed to make adjusting flat-panels easier. While most mounts often require a two-hand, two-step process, the XM series only needs to be adjusted by using one hand, or even one finger.
