Wall mount for 55" recommendations
Discussion
Guys,
Any reco's for a wall mount to hold up a 55' D8000? Must be able to tilt and ideally, be as close to the wall as possible so looking at circa 5cm max.
so many sites out there but they all have differing information. Came across a mount by Vogel that seems to work.
Any pointers?
Cheers

Have a look at Btech. Hell of a lot cheaper than Vogel. Do you really want it to tilt? How high are you intending to mount it?

Having a look through now, thanks.http://www.btechavmounts.com/
The sockets are close to 6 feet up the wall so likley we'll need the flexibility.

Personally I wouldn.t bother getting a tilt type. Don't forget that the screen is about 28" from top to bottom therefore you could have the foot of the screen as low as 4 ft from the floor and still cover the socket. I would just use a normal flat type. See the BT8422 or if you're feeling flush, the cable mount from Samsung is a cinch to fit
Good luck

Cheers guys. Had a look and there are a few potential but they use the standard 8cm distance from wall.
I think i'm stuck on needing it to tilt since i will be using the skype cam add-on. Apparently it has a rather s
te field of view so you almost have to stand in front of it to work. The tilt would (hopefully) alleviate that.

If you want to tilt it by just 10 degrees then you will need to allow for approx 8" from the wall at the top. Is the Skype add on a real clincher? I would look at making up a small bracket to mount the camera at the bottom of the screen.Would be a shame to have a 29mm deep screen then whack it on an 8" deep bracket. Might as well get the old CRT out!
Cheers mate, hadn't thought a mere 10 degrees would have it protruding so much. I dill the flexibility it would provide but I think I need to get the room sorted out with furniture first to be sure of the height. I may get away with it fixed flat in fact. Just dunno without a bit more plannin.
Anyone know of a good shop in London for a selection of wall mounts? I may need to see them upfront.

Had a lot from here, formerly known as AV Rabbit. Very good prices and they all seem well made to me.

I think this is what you need. They are very solidly constructed and well finished. Only 32mm too.
It comes with a huge bag of bolts and spacers to fit all screens. I've mounted 65" screens on it loads of times, so your's will be fine.

As mentioned, it's rare to need to tilt a screen of this size. I would think you could just tilt the camera a little, or mount it at the bottom of the screen so you can stay seated to use it.
If you must tilt, I would still use this bracket. Just use the spacers to mount it out slightly at the top. (The rails on the screen, not the wall plate)
The screen can be mounted off-centre to aid clearance of the HDMI / coax socket on the back of the screen. Infact, once you hang the screen, it will slide side to side on the runners, alowing you more adjustment and flexibility in mounting / fixing.
Too many brackets clash with the sockets on a given screen!
The screen simply hangs on from the top edge. There are retaining screws that can be fitted along the bottom edge, although most don't bother with them.
Brackets can be a massive PITA! So many don't work as they should, or cause problems due to poor design or quality. They mostly look ok in the pictures though! You only find out when it's too late.
I hope this is of some help.

£15 quid cheaper.
I recently bought a similar one from B&Q. It's fine apart from the feckin screws not being long enough for my panny plasma (42"). It'll be going back today, or I might see if I can get some longer bolts as I need to get it fitted sharpish.
We fitted a Cinemax FM3760 (£250) to a Panny 55VT30B
Well pleased with the final results and it does allow a small tilt, although the pics may not illustrate it that well!
We strengthened the back stud wall with 3/4 in ply and x4 layers of 12mm acoustic board. The area behind the TV also had extra metal studs put in as extra noggins.

^Awesome setup.
Cheers lads, i think i got a good idea on what i'm after. Admittedley, a tilt would have been useful, once i took the Sammy out of the box the sheer size of it made the tilt entirely unneccessary.
Took a few measurements and there is circa 20mm free on each side of the wall it's going up on which is sweet. Did i mention it's big?
Eventually, i settled on this one (cheers BlairOut). Clearance is circa 36mm and so with the plug socket behind, it just squeezes in nice. I was preparing to spend more money but it seems that these get decent reviews and (as long as you use your own spirit level
) installation is a breeze.
Amazing how something you'd almost never notice took so much time.

Decent outfit this CribIdeas.com/AVrabbit retailer. Something must have happened last week which meant i didn't get my order so they sent another overnight.
Only snag, it's the model up which is great but need to have a rethink cos of the 240v sockets at the same level as the mount.
Otherwise, can't fault them at all.

ETA: Just had an Alan partidge moment - Aha! It comes with spacers....

If you don't need tilt and you don't have a power supply behind the TV, then these are worth a look:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HD-Bracket-Samsung-Philips...
It's just a couple of mounts that screw to the TV and a kit that bolts to the wall and you hang it like a picture. It's as close to the wall as you can get it
