Been asked to mount an LCD TV for someone, but I'm horrified at the
price of the mounts, given what they are. Price seems to be for style.
This one will be completely invisible. Anyone know a source of functional
brackets for reasonable prices, without the style surcharge?
(This one needs to hold TV out about 30cm on a 200x100 VESA mount.
A single extension arm would do.)
Four short pieces of angle, 4 nuts/bolts/washers and a can of black
bicycle spray paint (plus 2 short strips and 2 knobs if you want tilt).
Made in 30 minutes, virtually invisible and results in the TV/monitor
being held very close to the wall and being proof against being
lifted-off by a marauding tea-leaf.
Can you elaborate?
Pretty simple really ...
2 pieces of aluminium angle screwed to the holes in the back of the
display/TV. 2 pieces of angle fixed vertically to the wall, spaced so
that the angle on the back of the TV nicely slide between them. Holes
arranged in angle so that a bolt through each pair acts as a top pivot,
if necessary a strip of metal at the bottom to give a tilt control (but
I experimented first and decided that tilt/pivot wasn't necessary so I
just have 2 lower bolts). The big advantage is that the TV is almost
flush to the wall and totally solid - also, it cost about £3.
