Minneapolis, MN. (October 2006) – Chief® partnered with CEDIA during this year’s EXPO, hosting a Flat Panel Mounting Competition on days two and three of the show. With a total of 8 participating teams, the winning team, Depew/Dennis from Chesapeake Smart Homes, installed a Chief PLPU Universal Pull-N-Tilt Wall Mount with a 61” plasma in 1 minute and 23 seconds!

To achieve this record time, installers relied on features of the PLPU mount including an easy-grip handle for 3” of cable access, self-leveling design and large wall plate opening.

Built to save installation time for 37”-65” flat panels up to 200 lbs, the PLPU also offers fingertip tilt adjustments and an ultra low-profile design - only 2.5” depth.

The Flat Panel Mounting Competition was part of the CEDIA Technician Olympics which took place during this year’s EXPO in Lobby D. For more information on Chief mounting solutions, visit www.chiefmfg.com.
