Hi Everyone,

As per the subject, I have a new TV stand (Serano S105BR11) which has an integrated VESA compatible mounting, which can hold a TV up to 30kgs. However, the stand only has two mounting points, and therefore the television is only mounted using two bolts. Some pictures may help illustrate this:





Are the two bolts sufficient to support the television? They are M8 bolts, and screw into the TV approx 16mm. The television is a Samsung 55", 19kgs weight.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Steve

I'd be happy with that as long as the smaller bottom bar with the, I presume, rubber feet met the back of the TV at a suitably sturdy spot.

My Plasma is about 50 kilos and only has 4 M8 bolts holding it to the bracket.

Thanks for the reply, Jimbob.

I was also concerned about the contact point for the bottom bar feet, as they press on a part that does not have a metal construction, so I have put a dvd case behind each one to spread the load. Hopefully that will be enough to eliminate any issues.

Cheers,
Steve
