wwwd Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Got 3 flat screen TV's in the house (51" and 2 42" ones) that we want to put on the wall (currently they are just on TV stands). Just wondering, do I literally just look online for any TV wall brackets or do I need specific ones? Maybe I'm being stupid, but surely every flat screen TV is different on the back? Also, if anyone has bought any before any recommendations would be appreciated
ganges Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I have one, from memory all you need to look out for is the mounting holes on the back of the TV, and make sure you get the right size mounting bracket, for your brand of TV, and yes there are loads on the net, swear by mine it tilts turns moves in and out of the wall, so you can position to suit where you are sitting, without moving half the furniture, hope that helps

Or should I only need to find one that fits the size? i.e. for 42" TV's? Found these: Clicky Think these are any good?
eetaylog Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 The mounting holes on the back of your TV and the ones built into the bracket are a universal standard so they should fit if you pick the correct TV size for the bracket. I bought this £25 from ebay around 3 years ago and it been fantastic: http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/18392.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/18393.jpg
EscortNreg Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 How very strange, I was just coming on here to give one away! I will put it in the for sale section to. I belive from memory, it fits anything from 40-60 we have a 47" and a 50" on it and it fited with room. It tilts. You want it, you'll need to arange collection. We're moving this weekend so preferably before then. Ta.
scottg17 Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Make sure you screw the bracket onto one of the studs on your wall, if not youll have a TV lying in bits on the floor and a nasty hole on your wall. You can get a stud detector that'll do that job from maplin for under a tenner Heres mine....

wwwd Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 Can anyone give me their opinions on the eBay link I posted?
eetaylog Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Holy sh*t, how big is your TV?! Lol, that's not a normal door, it's the cupboard under the stairs! It's a 42". The bracket in that link looks just like mine, it's great. The plate bolts to the wall. Then you bolt the hangers to the back of the TV and hang/screw it all onto the plate.
stuey650 Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 as said universal brackets for the size if your TV usually fit fine, the only thing with these is the can obscure the ports on the back of your TV, its a chance you take.
