Will it stay on the wall?
During the January sales I took advantage of the special offers and bought myself a new LCD television, its 1080p HD and has built in Freeview. It is the third flat screen TV in my house, they take up such little space that they can be fitted almost anywhere. I have a 46” LED screen, a 32” LCD and a 40” LCD, for my PC I have a 19” LCD.
At first I was quite wary about putting the screens on the wall, even using an approved bracket seemed too risky. After much convincing from a friend I took the 32” off a wooden bookcase and put it on the chimney breast, I used 4” long screws and some “no more nails” glue to make sure it doesn’t fall off.
After much testing and a whole year of the 32” being on the wall I then decided it was time to put the large 46” on the wall too. For this TV I used an approved super slim and easy fit bracket, it’s not actually a bracket, it’s more like two picture frame hooks. The LED screen is so light and thin that just two small hooks can sustain its weight. This LED screen also went on a chimney breast, I only used 2.5” screws for this one, and didn’t see the need to use any “no more nails” glue.
My newest telly is for the study room, for this one I have used a swivel and tilt bracket which has an elbow. The bracket is secured to the wall with only four screws; I used 3” screws with metal wall plugs. So far so good, all my tellies are still on the wall and hopefully that’s how they’ll stay!
