Anyone have a Sony KDL40ex400 LCD mounted on the wall.
I read that i need 2 3/8" clearance behind it.
The salesman says i can use a Low profile Mount.
Which is right ?
Monoprice keeps sugestioning different mounts.
How can i get the right mount?

Read up on VESA tv mounting standards. You should get your answers there.
Your Sony should have mountings points on the back that conform to one of
several VESA standards. After all my Wal-Mart piece of **** did.

AFAIK, VESA only specs the mounting hole spacing, threads, etc., so
that the TVs will mount to a bracket. I don't believe there is
anything in those standards that specify minimum clearance between the
TV and the wall. Clearly the poster is saying for her TV Sony says 2
3/8 is the minimum. There are wall mounts that are VESA compliant
that mount closer than that.

Not saying that I don't think it can be safely mounted closer than 2
3/8. I do. Only that I don't think VESA comes into play for that
factor.
