LED TV Wall Bracket Help

[wakeboarder109]

Anyone have a bracket they'd recommend? I need something that extends away from the wall and tilts.

Quite literally any bracket, for the most part. I cannot remember the specific one that my room mate used to have, but it was as simple as screwing both ends onto the tv, then the tv just snapped into the wall bracket. From what I've seen, every bracket is some sort of simple variation of that.

They have a few different ones.

It's a pretty simple contraption. It's just metal with some holes in it that you screw into wall studs. You don't need some fancy name brand one - just about any brand will work.

LCD LED TV's are pretty damn light these days...

they really over-engineer the shit out of these things (the brackets). I remember installing my gf's 55 inch Samsung about 2 years ago. She bought some bracket they up-sold her at Best buy and cost like $250. I was drilling 4 separate 1/2 inch bolts into her walls. The metal on the bracket itself was so thick I don't think you could bend it with 1000+ pounds of force. What do they really think people do to their tv's anyway?

I'm pretty sure that if a tornado leveled her entire building, that TV would still be stuck to that wall in the rubble.

I didn't need a tilt/panning bracket for the room the tv is in, So I just bought the thinnest, cheapest mount they had at Microcenter for my TV (Also a 55 inch LED) for like $60. It even had a little level built into it which I thought was cool. Somehow it hasn't spontaneously fallen off of the wall after a year even though I used 4 1/8th inch bolts, two of which aren't even in studs. Imagine that

[sarcasm]Sounds like you bought American instead of selling out and buying that Chinese bullshit! I bet you have a "Buy American" bumper sticker on your Chevy Silverado manufactured in Canada! [/sarcasm]

I'm partial to OmniMount brackets. Dont buy in big box stores as you'll pay a nice premium. Search online. I just installed a 32" LCD tv in my BR using a cantilever type omnimount with full swing/tilt/rotate. $32 shipped from Amazon.

I'll check those out. I'm mounting a 46" Samsung LED so I wish I could get a bracket that sits close to the wall but I need one that has full motion.

What's the story with these guys...?

Do you have to give them your SSN to order?

Prices seem a bit unbelievable... I manufacture things in sheet/tube steel all the time and I probobly couldn't make these in China and resell them and make money at these prices..

I can't speak for the mounts, but they have a great rep for HDMI cables.

Monoprice is legit. I bought many things there including mounts. They are located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
