Palsonic LCD TV - Trying to find wall bracket

McReidy · Sep 18, 2007 5:58 pm

I bought a 32" Palsonic LCD about 6 months ago (yeah I know cheaper version but was all I really wanted to spend at the time).. It was from JB HiFi

I now want to mount it to the wall but am having huge problems finding a bracket to suit.. So far I have tried 2 "universal" brackets that are 'guarenteed to fit', but to no avail..

Any suggestions as to what I may need, and where I could get it??

mcreidy,

measure the holes centre to centre left to right and up and down:

eg.

* <---100mm---> *
^
75mm
v
*

I will let you know what available. It should be a vesa mount but it could be 100x200 or 200 x 75 or something weird like that!

Yep your in trouble!!

Thats a 100 x100 vesa mount gone wrong. :evil:

You will need to elongate the2 of the holes of a 100 x100 bracket and use some washers to fill the gaps.

Ebay is your friend on this one.

Yep - went to JB and the same guy that sold me the LCD 6 months ago said, and I quote " that's a pretty random brand dude, where'd you get that"

As you can imagine I didn't quite know what to say.. He told me that he may be able to help me out if I give him the dimensions!!!

"JB" gotta lovem... might be cheap... but there is a reason for that I suppose.... not the best after sales service... especially when they are shocked themselves that you bought such a model...... only reading between the lines........

I have to agree....I didn't know I had to ask if I was buying a brand new television and not a repaired and placed back on the shelf job!.

My first whinge....ahh that felt better.

The LCD itself is fine - quite good for the price actually - I am really not a huge home theatre user, just general TV and movie watching with a HD box - it's all good.. But the after sales service.. Well, that's a whole other story!!!

What about just making up your own aluminium bracket... Mount one ot the wall and screw another to the back of the plasma and attach the two. Not so helpful if you want to slide it up and down though.....

Slow down guys.

The easiest thing to do is as Matt suggested. Get a standard 100 x 100 vesa mount LCD bracket (or one that has a plate at least big enough to cover your holes) and either elongate the existing holes or drill your own.

We've had to drill our own holes in brackets many times to suit many different applications. It's no big deal - it doesn't weaken anything or make it any less reliable.
