Anyone wall mounted a 46" Sony LCD?
Hi all,
Some of you may have seen my other posts as I am looking to buy a Sony 46" X Series or similar very soon. Any owners of 46" Sony's wall mounted their TV yet, as I'd like to know which bracket you purchased and from where? I need to look at options to wall mount mine. Cheers, Stuart |

If you go on AV forums they have a whole host of posts about this sort of thing. The forums for both LCD and plasma mounts in "Video Components" are both relevant to you.

How do you hide the wires if you put it on your wall?

I am having conduit burried into the walls for TV, surround speakers etc etc and having the whole lounge re-plastered to cover the burried conduit. So I'll only see the TV on the wall... no cables at all. Quote:

I just mounted my 50" plasma on the wall. Used a Tilt adjustable generic wall bracket. Only £50 of tesco website.
Put on to a plasterboard wall. Put cables behind wall, none showing. Would recommend using togglers and not normal wall plugs. these ensure a rock solid attachment. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...28150&ts=47231 |

Cheers for the info moamoa. I'm actually putting the Tv onto a solid wall, so it should be nice and secure. Trouble is, I will have to dig the wall out to get the conduit or trunking into the wall.... not looking forward to that! Quote:

Yep - it's going to be a real pain for sure. I'll be taking several days off work to crack on with the project. My plan was to run pretty much EVERY cable from the TV down the wall, even if I am not intending using the socket in question, which should leave me future proof'd. So I'll run 2 HDMI's, component, scarts x 2, phono etc etc even if I won't actually use all of them initially. Of course the other option is to use truncking outside the wall, as you have done.... I just love the idea of nothing in view apart from the TV though. Hmmmmmm... confused even more now! Quote:

Thanks for this okuda. I haven't found anything like this so far on the net and this looks a GREAT option to me. Quote:

I mounted my 46X3500 using the proper Sony wall mount and used the curved trunking with L corners to route the 7m cabling (2xHDMI, 1xScart, RF aerial lead & 1xa.c. mains) down the wall and along the top of the skirting to behind the equipment unit.
I secured the wall mount using long heavy duty screws and rawplugs bought in a pack from a local diy shop. Large washers were used under the screw heads to distribute the load evenly onto the bracket. The screws go through the plaster board and deep into the brickwork behind. I would of buried the cabling but we had only recently decorated. The curved trunking is very easy to use, cut and is paintable. Even though the trunking had double sided tape underneath to stick to the wall, I put a self tapping screw in every metre as a precaution. The 46X3500 needed two people to lift and drop into the wall mount. I've managed to hang a 40" on my own in the past but a 46" is a step up in weight/size too far. The main problem was where to hold the TV because the clear 'floating' bezel protrudes out from the main body on all sides. You have to therefore lift and manoeuvre the unit into position without putting any force on the bezel and you can't rest the TV down on it either. |
