The back itself doesn't usually support the weight, take the back off
and look for a pair of metal brackets or a plate that the vesa mount
bolts through to.

Probably a good idea to check the integrity of these first

I can see the metal plate flexing out with the broken bit of the back; I
assume that it is bonded to the plastic of the back.

The only other option I can visualise would be for there to be a metal
chassis for the whole TV which I don't thing is likely these days.


All the LCDs I've worked on have had a metal chassis of some form,
albeit some have not been much more than just the thin metal back of the
screen assembly
If the plate hasn't snapped away from something then, as you say it's
likely flexing because it's taking vibrational loads it wasn't designed to.
Stiffening the back might help I guess, though it might then crack
somewhere else...
