Pros: Easy to Use, Durable
Cons: Expensive

The LA112 (X-arm) is a rock solid and well assembled unit that can be installed by a Do It Yourself person. Installation instructions were good... as far as they went.

Hole adapter brackets may be needed if your TV mounting holes are not within the specified spacing range. (Mine needed the horizontal extentions for my 52 inch set.) The adapters, if required, are sold seperately and the price varies with the source. All other hardware is shipped with the unit, including several screw and bolt sizes to cover most situations.

I feel that DIY installers would benefit from additional detail in "routing the signal and power cables" inside of the LA112. (I routed my cables through the wall, so that they were not visible when the installation was complete.) Making these wires too long can result in them being cut by the motion mechanics; while cables that are too short can fatigue and/or snap; or at a minimum break the cable ties used to secure these wires in place.

Aside from cable routing, the installation went smoothly and everything functioned as advertised. If you are not routing wires through the wall, this unit can easily be installed in an afternoon.

Upon completion of the install, I "programmed" two presets for normal viewing positions and as a result we virtually never need to drive the unit from location to location... we just press the position preset buttons."
