Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good TV bracket which moves please?

I want to hang my 50" plasma on the wall and it needs to be able to move so we can get the best viewing angle depending on where we're sat.

It is a heavy bd of a TV, so the bracket needs to be strong!

Cheers.

Mark.

You want something like this Paul

Going through the same myself, but don't need the swivel. Amazon seem to do a really good range at some deeply discounted prices.

I've got this one for my 42" plasma:

You can move the screen in and out and tilt it left/right and up/down. It attaches to the wall with chunky bolts (6 or 8 I think) so I'm confident it's not going anywhere!

My Dad got one from Tesco. It wasn't bad, but he was unconvinced of the strength of the wall mounting plate.

So he welded a half inch steel plate to it before using 12mm expanding bolts into the wall and did a few pull ups on it to make sure it would be up to the task.

I think the house will fall down before the bracket.

Cheers for the replies guys, that's really helpful. I'll have a look at some reviews, and also weigh the TV, as I think that will be crucial!

Pull-ups on a TV bracket...that is the way forward! hehe

These are great quality and not a bad price: http://www.sanus.com/eu/en/products/visionmount/

With flush mounts they are all much of a muchness, but when you are fitting a movable bracket fit a good one, you need tight tolerances, smooth action and one that stays where it is put.
