TV wall bracket - which one?

[Mad Gear]

I've got a 26" Sammy LCD Telly (like this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=009) and i'm after a wall bracket that need's to be on an arm and will tilt so i can go for some TATE action.
There's so many on Ebay and i don't know which one to go for. Does anyone have one thay can recommend?

I'm looking to mount my KDL40w400 on the wall, has anyone undertaken wall mounting on here and if so what do i need to bear in mind? Is it just a case of getting the mount and drilling in some long screws?

Almost all LCDs now have standardised VESA mounting I believe which makes it easy to find a mount for your TV size. Make sure your mount is rated for the weight of the TV (they should be), make sure you put the mount into a solid brick wall so it can take the weight.

You just need the correct fixings for the type of wall you have.

For solid walls long screws with decent plastic plugs will be enough.

For hollow/plasterboard walls you need some kind of expanding/drop fixings. Length of screw here isn't important, it's the area over the load that is, the spring loaded butterfly type are probably your best bet(unless you have 'honeycomb' walls as the butterfly won't open properly.

Thanks for the tips, I have a brick wall so I'll just get long screws and plugs. I think I'll grab this mount too:

For a heavy TV (which is what I'd call a 26-inch or above LCD), screw into the stud (that's the struts of wood that the plasterboard is fixed to). Use a detector to make sure you're not trying to screw into any nails or screws already into the stud.

I've seen some site recommend rawlbolts rather than rawlplug for 40" tellies into brick, has anyone used them before? It looks like you don't screw them in, rather they slide into a bigger hole and then expand widthways but I can't be sure, anyone have rawlbolt experience?

I just mounted my 40w4000 onto a brick wall a few days ago with plugs.

You don't really need any big massive screws or bolts, have you felt the weight of your tv it's pretty light!

Is yours a Sony KDL40w4000? I'm guessing it is as you said KDL40w400 a few posts above

Do you have a bracket?
