I have a Sony LCD KDL-46w4500 which apparently weighs 36kg.

I will go on the wheel and naturally faces the sofa / seating area, but I want to able to swing out around 90 degrees to wall so I can view when at dining table also.

Was thinking of getting this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duronic-PLB109M-Universal-...

one of the reviews says it held a 23kg 40" set at 90 degrees no problem.

My concerns are a) is 46" TV too big/heavy to swivel that far? b) how much weight will the wall take when swivelling out 90 degrees? The wall is an interior wall of a flat built 7 years ago but it is the wall that splits my flat from my neighbour, ie not a stud wall.

Any advice?

For such a set and mounting requirement we'd generally recommend a Premier AM3 secured with shield anchors if block/brick.
thanks to both

ouch bit pricier RRP £399 though £179 here, but I guess you get what you pay for

does this seem best price plotloss?

will it come with heavy duties bolts that I would need and is it fairly easy to mount (standard drill etc)?

also need to think about length of power cables / HDMI etc when TV fully extended out scratchchin

hmmm, maybe I should just mount flat and put a big angled mirror on the other wall smile

are most flush-fitting fixed mounts up to the job or is it worth paying extra?

Well that will support 80kg, so there's no problem there.
yep i read that, I was just curious as prices range a great deal - from £20 to £150+

just wondered if cheaper ones are worse engineered (ie trickier to mount / cheap bolts) or the expensive ones just a rip off
