Right, finally going to get round to putting the TV on the wall. Had a look on Amazon and some of those brackets are pretty cheap.
It's a 50" Panasonic TV, will most of the brackets be OK (marked 50" obviously) or do you get what you pay for?

Dont buy the cheapest, but don't go silly either.

I use BTech, Premier Mounts and Future Automation depending on want I want it to do.

We got this one from Amazon for our 50" Panny - and it's fine and very sturdy,

ETA - It also has all the fittings you need, and then some!

I looked at that one, is it easy enough to fit? see it has a leveler, useful for me biggrin

And space at the back for all the cables too?

It was easy, about half an hour or so. I bought some 90 degree HDMI connectors when I bought the stand, just in case. I didn't need them, as there was still enough space at the back for standard connectors.(Although we only have one HDMI lead in the TV - the rest go through the amp). I wouldn't trust the in-built spirit level though...

hehe

OK, thanks for the info. When I'm done I'll just have an HDMI lead and an optical output as well as the aerial lead so all seems good.

Thanks again.

lol, the built in bubbles wobble more than a wobbly thing on a wobbly rope.

Use a proper spirit level and do the job proper like.
