SWMBO wants a 26" flat panel TV in her new kitchen - mounted high on the wall, and able to be tilted and turned so that she can watch it from one position when standing preparing food, or from another position when sitting down.
There are plenty of tilt and turn brackets on the market, which claim to be able to support the necessary size and weight - a typical example being the one which Maplin currently has on offer for £25. See
It seems to me that - since the set will be mounted by means of its VESA mount at the back, all the weight will be *forward* of the tilt pivot - so you can't allow it to pivot freely without bolting it up tightly. Perhaps what is needed is a bracket which bolts to the VESA mounts and then extends sideways both ways and then forward round the sides of the set, with a pivot each side such that the line joining these two pivots passes through the C of G of the set. Has anyone ever seen (or made) such a device.
Alternatively, maybe someone has designed some sort of linkage which provides a virtual pivot point inside the set without physically having to extend round the sides?
Any constructive comments welcome!
