WTB TFT TV Wall Mount

[Vortex]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a VESA wall mount for a small TFT TV that I have just ordered. Goal is to install TV under a kitchen unit so it can be kept off the worktop and pushed flush against the wall when not in use.

I can't believe the price of these things.

This style is what I would like:

over £90 incl. delivery! Tough to justify..

Looking around there are cheaper ones like this:

not so many degrees of freedom.

Any other ideas/suggestions before I start to save my pocketmoney!

But not so many degrees of freedom.

I wanted one for ceiling mounting, and the prices were even more outrageous. I could only then find them in pro broadcasting dealers.

So I made one using copper tube and my trusty pipe bender. If anything it looks better than the pro models which tend to be adjustable to fit a range of sizes and shapes.

Of course this approach probably wouldn't work for what you need as the stresses in a wall mounting are different.

There are many, many mounts for LCD and plasma screens on

no idea if there are any that will suit your needs though.

But not so many degrees of freedom.

I bought one for my 23" (Philips) LCD TV off

which is located in Perthshire ... somewhere... described as an _articulated bracket_ it's basically two nine-inch arms with a sway and tilt bracket. It folds back into the wall (about two-inches off); can pull out about eighteen inches; can 'translate' eighteen odd inches to left or right; and from any of the positions in that arc can swivel +/- 80(?) deg and pitch up/down 20(?) deg. all for a cost of £26.99. Standard disclaimer - I'm only a satisfied customer - found 'em off a Google search and was satisfied with their price and service.

It does look a bit rural up there.
