plasma mount will this be ok for my hitachi plasma tv
hi guys i bought a 30" - 63" Fixed Wall Bracket plasma mount for my hitachi plasma tv.
just wanted some advice please. i test fitted the bracket on the back of tv. i noticed theres 3 holes on back of my tv, for mount 2 holes, top and center which are just there ready for mount to be screwed in and bottom theres a blanking screw in the bottom mounts. question is will it be ok to mount bracket on just 2 each side? i have included pics of what i mean, its a univerasl mount so hopeing it will be ok just looks smaller than some when fitted on my at back. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/picardo/3-2.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/picardo/2-4.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/picardo/1-4.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/picardo/11.jpg thankyou |

question is will it be ok to mount bracket on just 2 each side? I've fitted lots of TV's on walls, two each side is perfectly fine!. Make sure the screws are long enough, but not too long - about half an inch into the TV's threads is fine - it's often a good idea to fit large washers (mudguard washers!) under the screw heads as well. |

I assume mounts come with universal fittings, I have my PC Monitor on a wall mount and that had extra holes in it, the lcd only had four holes.
![]() I'd check the instructions careful, that will make one hell of a bang if it drops off the wall. |

cheers guys yes i read the instructions carefully.
i was just concerned about each mount not covering the width of the back of my tv just 2 holes each side ( top hole, & middle hole) as shown here http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/picardo/mount2.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/picardo/mount1.jpg does it matter if the mounts smaller thank the width of the rear of tv? |

thanks nigel
i managed to screw bracket of wall i did a quick test with my weight on it and it never budged so hopefully its ok.now each bracket you screw 2 bolts in each to the back of my tv i looked at the bolts that come with the bracket and apparently the ones i need are the small m6 bolts theyre small about 15mm can these take the weight as they are tiny screws??? they are very small screws ( screw thread about size of my finger nail) ![]() http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y99/picardo/z-1.jpg sorry about all the questions its just its my first time haveing one on the wall and just panicing a wee bit and thinking these tiny screws wont take the weight as the tv is 64kg. or should i buy diffrent screws? |

Obviously you can only use screws that will fit the threads in the TV, and presumably the TV manufacturer has used threaded holes large enough, and like I said before aim for about half an inch of screw inside the TV.
