Wall mount / bracket question

[Al-Jay]

yup, its comes with wall mount for the plasma TV. However at that time, i did not choose to wall mount.

Now, i am paying $120 for the wall drilling and reading thru this forum, i understand that $120 is the standard rate i am happy.

Wow, that means my plasma TV is 669 - 120 - 80 = 469, cheaper than a 32" LCD TV. Awesome.

The easiest way is to ask your dealer.

The things is I get this TV from a lucky draw. Lolx. Any recommendation on who to approach?

Tv Wall Mount Service Charges

Hi All

I intend to wall mount 4 LCD TV in my house. I got a quote from a vendor for the charges

1) TV Wall Mount service for 22inch LCD TV with bracket provided - $25 per unit
2) TV Wall Mount service for 32inch LCD TV - $50 per unit
3) Sanus MF215 "32inch LCD Bracket able to tilt and swing with two arms - $200

Total Charges - 22inch LCD TV install only - $25 x 2
32inch LCD TV install & Bracket provided by vendor - $250 X 2
Final Total = $50 + $500
= $550


So what u all think of the charges cheap or expensive ?
Any vendor to recommend ?

$120 to drill wall and install TV?

If the guy install 3 TVs a day, earn $360. Work 28 days a month, earn $10,800

Monthly salary of $10k to install 3 TVs a day. Sounds like a good job.

I encourage you to be a TV installer if you really believe they earn 10k a month bro. Your calculations are very simple and do not take into account their labor costs and other issues.

saw BD selling brackets that can tilt. $70-plus nia. Buy a Makita rotary hammer $180. Can DIY. Satisfaction priceless. Admiration and respect from wife and kids: out of this world.

Hi,

I got a 32 inch TV wall mounted 3 years ago. Now, I wanted to upgrade to a 40 inch or 42 inch LCD. Is it possible to DIY and reuuse the existing wall mount brackets to fix on the new TV. Is the wall mount bracket on the TV side standard size for fastening?

I am using a Queenie bracket for my 32" for the past five years. When the installer came over to wall mount for my new 40", they manage to re-use the same bracket, no prob. They just added a few screws to strength the mounting.

However, they had to adjust the bracket lower to suit the eye level we are used to as the 40" using the same bracket position will be too high for comfort. Another pt brought up was old tv of say 3 years ago, it will be quite heavy compare to slimmer models this year, so I was told my old 32" weight about as much as my new 40". Sounds reasonable, cos' I tried carrying both.

If your tv come with free mounting, you can let the installer come and advice u accordingly, so you need not worry.

you should get a contractor to do this. is the tv already with you now? or you intend to wall mount when the tv is delivered?

 

[touchme]

Do u think Tv mounts are an overkill?..too secure (ceiling fan only 1 bolt and moving), too bulky, and wall spacing too wide 8cm - 12cm from wall. Or just to justify >$100 prices.

Thinking of DIY to keep gap < 1cm.

2x M6 bolts on TV back, hoop & hook on one 7cm wide x 50cm long (8mm thick) bar secured on wall. TVs not that heavy.
What u think?

 

[alanchia67]

spacing from mount to wall is to facilitate cabling. especially so for thick hdmi cable, as it doesnt bend well. of course, can be solved by getting right-angled hdmi adapter.

similarly for your other cables (power, component). thus you dont want it too near to wall.

8mm is too near!!!

8-10mm too near for what?..cabling from beneath..plug cable 1st then mount TV, no speaker/woofer vents behind leh. Dun we want it as flat to wall as possible?

 

[alanchia67]

cabling from beneath? see how your hdmi/component ports are faced. most tv, the ports are facing towards the back. with a hdmi or component (basically RCA) plug inserted, the clearance of 8mm is too near - the plugs will be pushed in and forced to the wall. the plugs and cable arent flushed with the back of the panel. go see a tv retail shop and take a look behind to try understand what i meant.

unless your tv av ports are facing side ways.

there's a reason why tv mounts have about 2 inch clearance. in fact, using thick nylon mesh hdmi cable which is rather stiff, you want more than 2" clearance for the back of the panel!

and also my component jack is already about 1+inch. you need some more clearance to allow cable to bend (and not forced to bend sharply to prevent internal breakage).
