Vesa TV Mount
Hi all
Sorry for the maybe silly question - am looking to buy a new wall mount for a tv - the tv is http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-OLED65B6V which says it is VESA 300 x 200 Would something like TV Wall Mount, Lumsing Low Profile Tilt TV Wall Mount Bracket for 26-72" TV LCD LED Plasma MAX VESA 600x400mm https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01JRT6PI0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WCplybEQDZWQ7 be ok? I know currys are a rip off but it amazes me just how much cheaper and well rated they are online! Thanks Marc |

Should be fine for weight, screen size and vesa 300x200.
You may find you have to make all connections before hanging as it has a low profile, just depends where the connections are on the TV and how much room you have, so just check ease of access before hanging and securing. |

One thing you need to be aware of with those types of bracket is that the arms that mount to the back of the TV might protrude above or below the edge of the TV. Depends on how fussy you are about aesthetics. I have seen people attack the brackets with a hacksaw to trim off the "excess"
![]() You may also like to check how far out of the back of the TV the connectors protrude and allow for the bend radius of the cable. A thick HDMI lead with a meaty plug can take up several inches of space at the back of the TV. You don't want to try and bend the cable too tightly as that could damage it or even the connector in the TV if it puts too much stress on the socket. |

If the connections are on the back of the TV and not on the side, you can get HDMI right angle adapters which are perfect for low profile wall brackets. http://www.cabling4less.co.uk/produc...angle_adaptor/ |

Or a right angle cable such as
https://www.amazon.co.uk/KabelDirekt...dp/B005CW4KLG/ Which has a variety of lengths and "up" or "down" variations, ie which way the cable exits relative to the socket. |

You can also get a 90-180 degree HDMI adapter to cover exit variations too, handy if you have the cable but are not sure of how the cable exits. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Connector-S...ht+angles+hdmi |

Great thank you for all the help - will look into the Right angle HDMI's too as that maybe a potential issue!
