Have you not considered making your own bracket. Two metal frames with a vertical hinge at one end, the front frame designed to match the fixing holes on the TV the rear frame fastened to the wall swing it out like a door. Easily available MS tubing would do the job and if you cannot weld the brackets then pop rivets can be used to join up the steel sections. A lot of brackets on the market are frankly over engineered more to assure the user of their safety than function. Most TVs are quite light our 55" is a fraction of the weight of the 40" it replaced yet the bracket holding it to the wall had eight substantial bolts yet the whole thing combined probably weighs the same as a kitchen wall cupboard filled with can goods secured by only two fixings.

I really appreciate all the inspired ideas but has anyone got any
recommendations for good quality furniture glides?


You can buy adhesive felt pads in lots of DIY stores. Ditto
those castor wheel cups that also have a felt pad in contact
with the floor.

I've ordered some screw on pads now. they're not particularly
expensive, so if they don't do the job well enough, no great loss.
