I was asked to mount a new Philips 43 inch TV on the wall and the owner presented me with a ridiculously small bracket which, even with the extension pieces provided, wouldn't fit the mounting holes on the TV
I'm used to most TVs having four mounting holes in a square pattern with each side of the square being 20cm
This TV had 4 holes arranged in an oblong pattern with 20cm between the upper and lower holes but only 10cm between the left and right holes.
I happened to have an old bracket with a plate suitable for 20x20 but I couldn't fit it at first as only two of the mounting holes coincided with the holes in my bracket.
In the end I managed to attach it with three bolts by skewing the attachment plate slightly and fixing the third bolt on the outside edge of plate with a big washer to grip the plate.
It seems crazy that a brand new TV should have such a strange arrangement of bolt holes. Good job new TVs are so light!
