Anyone know how to mount a Sony Bravia 40 inch LCD to the wall?

Can't see anything on the Sony website and the thing's bloody heavy (35kg or so), so can't imagine any old cack would do...

You'll need to buy the bracket, probably cost a good £100 unless it fits a general bracket for about £40/50.

Apart from that its pretty easy, had mine hanging on the wall in about 1hour taking my time doing it. Probably need two people though to help the telly onto the bracket.

Sony will make a custom bracket that will be expensive, but there are cheaper universal brackets that might fit your screen.

If it's a stud-wall, make sure you get bloody good fixings

Whatever you do, don't mount it on a plasterboard wall!

Yeah what they say unless you want it too pull the whole wall down, you might be lucky if the TV just falls off the wall though ...lol

If attaching to a stud wall, could you locate the wooden framework, fix a sheet of thick MDF to that then put the bracket onto the MDF?

Or is that only slightly less dodgy than putting it straight onto the plasterboard?

35kg of verticle force isnt that much, pretty crapy house if your plaster board falls off from that!

If you can hold a £1000+ piece of 35kg equipement on plasterboard and not be scared of it falling off be my guest

Beat me to it!

Should there be any problems fixing them to insualted blocks (thermalite)...If I use a good solid rawbolt or something?

davegtt

If you use something like this you should be OK really...

what whimps! i hung huge metal halides over my £6k fish tank in a plaster board ceiling......just use the right fixings.

I got a bracket off ebay for half the price of such rip off merchants like Currys, it's was a really good quality thing and the 32inch LCD hasn't fallen off yet

I hang my 32" inch on a plasterboard wall, but got these bloody long coach bolts that were about 10" long and they went straight into the external bricks!!

Bloody hell, no one got any work to do?! Talk about rapid replies...

Looking at this one here on eBay, from a shop in Bristol, so probably not half bad, and at least if it falls off the wall I have a door to go and knock on!

Think the Vector is for CRT TVs? Looks like the Arc or Cinema ones are the sort that I need, but would definitely be interested in one of those!

Will PM you...
