Product Summary
The engineers at Sumsung have gone back to the drawing board and completely re-thought the TV wall mount. Abandoning the conventional steel frame design they have instead opted for what amounts to a high tech picture frame wire.

The Samsung WMN1000B Ultra Slim Wall Mount is both a unique and deceptively simple solution targeted for use with select Samsung ultra-thin LED TVs in the 40"-55" range.

First thing to be aware of is that the pictures of this product can be misleading. Basically, the kit comes in a small box that consists of six fasteners. Two fasteners are fixed to the wall. Samsung recommends to use both fasteners, one of which should be secured to a wall stud. But amazingly you can still hang your TV even if both these fasteners are only secured into drywall, providing you use the supplied anchors.

This is sure to make some people nervous, but when you think about it this is the basic technique used to hang large oil paintings, many of which weigh over 100lbs. It sounds a bit crazy, but it works.

The remaining parts attach to the back of the TV via the VESA mount points. The top two fasteners are joined by a steel cable. This is strung over the wall fasteners and supports the full weight of the TV. One of the bottom fasteners has a fold out wire stand that is used to angle the TV away from the wall when you need access to the TV's rear panel.

The payoff is that you essentially have a flat panel TV as a piece of artwork. The TV rests against the wall just like a picture and can be leveled by simply sliding it left or right.

The picture frame-style mount of the Samsung WMN1000B will not appeal to everyone, and is limited to a select group of Samsung TVs. But for the ultimate in sophisticated looks it is a hard act to follow.
