Future Automation Has the Right Mount for Any Need
Show & Tell installs plenty of TVs, and the wall mount is the part nobody thinks about, until it's wrong. A shaky bargain bracket fails at the worst moment. A poorly chosen mount over a fireplace leaves everyone straining their neck. Future Automation, one of our trusted brands for Bountiful, UT, installations, builds mounts that solve nearly every one of those headaches, starting with an ultra-slim wall mount that barely leaves the wall, and the lineup only gets more interesting from there. You might not know these options existed, but now you will.

The PS Series: Slim, not Simple
Start with the basics done right. The PS Series uses a scissor-arm design that pulls a screen away from the wall in a perfectly parallel line, so nothing tilts or wobbles when our technicians reach behind it to service a cable or swap a component. At just 55mm—about 2 3/16 inches—from the wall, it's one of the thinnest brackets on the market, and the hook-on mounting system lets our installers hang even a large screen securely and precisely, with less time spent wrestling hardware and more time getting the calibration right.
The range scales from 32 inches to 110-plus, with the largest models handling up to 265 pounds. Want it flush, like a piece of art rather than a piece of equipment? An optional recessed wall box tucks the entire bracket into the wall cavity.
The QA2 Quad Arm: The Motorized Flagship
If the PS Series is about disappearing, the QA2 is about command. This motorized arm extends nearly 30 inches off the wall and rotates 75 degrees in either direction, so smooth and quiet that Future Automation calls it the "Rolls-Royce of TV mounts"—and once you've seen one glide through a preset position, it's hard to argue. The QA2 remembers up to three preset viewing positions, so the "movie night" angle and the "watching from the kitchen" angle are both one button away.
Where it gets interesting for a Show & Tell install is control. The QA2 communicates with Control4 and other automation platforms via RS232, IR, or contact closure, so your TV's position can be part of a preset scene alongside your lighting and shades. An optional wall box brings even this motorized bracket to a near-flush finish.
The EAD: A Fix for the Too-High Fireplace TV
The fireplace is where good mounting intentions go to die. Everyone wants the TV above the mantle; almost nobody wants to crane their neck at a 40-degree angle to watch it. The EAD solves this with a motion that nothing else in the lineup has: it extends forward to clear the mantle, then drops down as much as 21 inches to bring the screen to a genuinely comfortable viewing height. When you're done, it retracts and settles nearly flush against the wall, the mechanism hidden behind removable magnetic covers. Of course, it’s also motorized and automatable.
It's a clever bit of engineering dressed up as a simple idea, and it's exactly the kind of detail that separates a mount that just holds a TV from one that actually solves the problem of aesthetics and usability. Handling screens up to 80 inches and 110 pounds, it's built for real fireplace installs, not a party trick.
Beyond the Wall: Mounts That Vanish Into the Ceiling
There's a version of this trick that goes further than folding out of the way—it hides the TV completely. Future Automation's PLI inverted lift conceals the screen inside a ceiling void using a "drop and roll" flap mechanism: the flap opens, the screen lowers into the room, and when you're done, it retracts back up, and the flap closes behind it. When the screen is not used, there's nothing to see but ceiling. It's motorized and offers the same RS232, IR, and contact-closure control options as the QA2, so it can join a Control4 scene too, and it supports screens from 32 to 65 inches.
One Mount Rarely Fits All
Whether the goal is a screen that vanishes into the wall, one that finds three different viewing angles on command, or one that solves a stubborn fireplace layout, Future Automation has an answer engineered for it.
