TV Wall Mount Query

[giblet]

Have a random brand wall mount fitted on the wall, it was already there when we moved in. Any way I can work out what size TV it is designed to take?



Measurements are as follows

Frame
70cm length
25cm width

Arms
50cm length
4cm width

Also where would I buy the correct screws needed to mount the TV to the arms?

If you Google VESA mount sizes you should get your answer.

In terms of bolts, you need to look at your TV manual for sizes.

You can mount just about anything on to it if you can get the holes in the two vertical arms to line up with the mounting holes in your TV. When I say anything I mean depending on how good the fixings into the wall are.

The screws you need vary depending on your TV but are often somewhere between M4 & M10 - but watch the depth. You want one just long enough to catch all of the threads in the socket without coming out the front of the panel. Amazon do loads of kits with assorted screws & washers:

Looking at that I reckon you go mount anything from 43" to 65" quite easily. Modern screens don't weigh anything like as much as older TVs.

Remove the vertical pieces, attach to the back of your TV then hook them back on the wall mount. They all work in a similar fashion. You can find a similar one on Amazon and read the instructions there. It should easily take 65-70" TV. With smaller TVs be aware that the vertical pieces might stick out above/below the TV, but you can cut them down if they do.

Upgrade the HDMI cable to HDMI 2.1 while you're at it. Might as well - will save taking the TV off the wall again at some later point...
