I think I am going to purchase a Sony KDL40X3100. I just don't want to miss the free PS3 offer, so I'm going to take the plunge even before the house is ready. One thing I need to know though, is where to get a wall mount for it from ? I've seen prices of about $300. Surely I don't need to spend $300 for a piece of metal to screw it to the wall ? Do you guys know of a cheaper alternative ?

Selby has some affordable brackets, and they are universal. Re: Wall mount for a Sony KDL40X3100.... 5Jul 02, 2008 11:49 am Thanks guys, awesome news.
Those prices are far more acceptable than $300 ! Just have to make sure I get the right one now.

Go to Harvey Norman, i negotiated for their seamus one for my 52inch xbr from $300 to $100 bucks. Go just before they close on a weekday, the salesmen are more desperate to get sales around that time b/c they had a slow day. Good luck smeags. Re: Wall mount for a Sony KDL40X3100.... 9Jul 31, 2008 2:35 pm I still say why pay $100 when you can pay $60 for the same volume of metal (which is all these brackets are). Re: Wall mount for a Sony KDL40X3100.... 10Jul 31, 2008 2:47 pm Rodda I still say why pay $100 when you can pay $60 for the same volume of metal (which is all these brackets are). If we all have the same skill set/knowledge of all these AV stuffs like Rod & Matt, we will certainly go the $60 way (and you guys will be out of business )... Luckily we don't. So to avoid hurting ourselves, damaging the wall or/& Tele, p*ting off the other half, wasting all those lovely time which should be better spent on beer+footy+others, ...etc, I think it's easier to go the $100+ way.... Re: Wall mount for a Sony KDL40X3100.... 11Jul 31, 2008 3:55 pm Well I might have some news for you Allan - the $60 are exactly the same as the $100 - $500 ones.
And, the expensive ones are just as hard (or not) to mount as the cheapies.

Harvey Norman probably have to pay wages and brick and mortar thus increasing their prices... and selby is a smaller online presence only ..although i did see their advert in the green guide and thus could pass their costs onto you us... having said that..the design of the bracket makes a big difference IMO. I find the seamus was a bit more sturdy than the generic brand that Harveyy Norman has. i think either way will work...
