I've just googled "tv falls on child" OMG one child dies on average every two weeks due to TV's falling on them!

Right well both brackets are on the wall
The new Plasma bracket is up on the party wall
8X 10x100 Fischer fixings & 4x 8x85 wall anchors
Same as the original bracket downstairs
The 20"lcd is up on the plasterboard wall as well
Subject to some modiifcations lol
The original swivel & tilt bracket had 3 fixings in the vertical plane only ?? and weighed a ton lol
Its now a tilt only bracket and mounted in a 4 square configuration
I had to use spring toggles in the end. The other type just span out when i went to set them, so i changed to toggle types

In my experience (airconditioning) I prefer these:
All can give issues though:
spring/toggle can work loose
Corkscrews sometimes don't bite well enough or split the plaster (unless a pilot hole is drilled first - even though they are supposed to be self drilling
)
And the anchor bolts can just spin round

Your reccomended type didnt set lol...they just ripped a big hole in the surface of the plasterboard...
