Mounting Myths vs. Reality: What Integrators Should Really Expect at InfoComm

In commercial AV, mounting hardware is often treated as a small detail until installation day arrives.

That’s when crews run into uneven walls, tight timelines, alignment issues, unexpected field modifications, and extra labor costs that quickly eat into project profitability. The truth is simple: mounting infrastructure has a direct impact on installation speed, long-term serviceability, and overall project success.

As InfoComm approaches, Mount-It! PRO is taking a closer look at some of the biggest misconceptions in the industry and showing integrators what modern mounting systems are truly capable of delivering.

Myth #1: “Premium Price Means Better Performance”

Reality: Higher cost doesn’t always mean a better installation experience.

Integrators today are under constant pressure to complete projects faster, reduce callbacks, and stay competitive in increasingly aggressive bid environments.

Many installers are discovering that newer mounting platforms can provide the durability, adjustability, and serviceability they need without the inflated pricing often associated with legacy solutions.

At Mount-It! PRO, our focus is centered on practical engineering decisions that improve real-world installation efficiency instead of adding unnecessary complexity.

Myth #2: “Mounts Don’t Really Impact Install Time”

Reality: Mounting systems can dramatically affect labor hours.

One of the biggest hidden costs in commercial AV projects is labor. Small inefficiencies multiplied across videowalls, conference rooms, dvLED deployments, or multi-display installations can quickly become expensive. Features like:

• Tool-less adjustments
• Repeatable alignment systems
• Front-serviceability
• Simplified rail designs
• Precision micro-adjustments

These features can significantly reduce time spent leveling displays and troubleshooting installation issues on site. At InfoComm, attendees will get hands-on demonstrations of solutions designed specifically to streamline deployment workflows, including Mount-It! PRO’s Zaxxis™ mounting technology for dvLED applications.

Myth #3: “A Mount Is Just a Piece of Bent Metal”

Reality: Mounting infrastructure directly impacts flexibility and future adaptability.

Today’s workplaces, classrooms, and collaboration spaces are constantly evolving. Displays are no longer fixed to a single purpose or layout. Organizations increasingly need environments that can adapt quickly without major reconstruction or costly redesigns.

Modern mounting systems now play a critical role in:

• Mobile deployments
• Ergonomic positioning
• Accessibility improvements
• Future display upgrades
• Flexible collaboration environments

The right mounting infrastructure doesn’t just support technology, it supports the people using the space every day.

Bring Us Your Toughest Mounting Challenge

This year at InfoComm, we are inviting integrators, designers, and installers to visit our Installation Efficiency Zone and put our solutions to the test.

From complex dvLED configurations to uneven walls, recessed displays, serviceability concerns, and custom architectural environments, we want to see the challenges you’re facing in the field.

Our team will be showcasing mounting solutions engineered around real-world installation pain points while giving attendees a first look at technologies designed to simplify deployments and reduce project friction.

Visitors can also preview upcoming commercial mounting innovations focused on:

• Faster installation workflows
• Improved micro-adjustment precision
• Enhanced service accessibility
• Greater flexibility for custom environments
• More cost-effective deployment strategies
  

The Future of Mounting Is About Efficiency

The AV industry is moving beyond static hardware and toward adaptable mounting systems that improve installation efficiency, support healthier ergonomic environments, and allow spaces to evolve without major reconstruction. At InfoComm, we are demonstrating that mounting solutions should do more than support displays. They should support the installers deploying them, the teams maintaining them, and the people using the spaces every day.
