I've wanted to do this for ages now, but the mounts I wanted were silly expensive because of the type I wanted to keep the TV mounted in the corner and not flush with either wall.
Enter the Habitat mount I just found on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Designer-Habitat-Cantilever-Extension-Spacings/dp/B00452DPJW/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_text_b
Seems like what I want, triple swivel points, upto 37", "slim" solid design and well made.
Anyone know anything bad about this particular mount? It's a blindingly good price!
My only concern is that in the reviews someone with a 36" telly had it drooping and they've not specified which telly it is! Mine is an LG LED 37" that weighs in at 11Kgs without the stand, so compared to the max 25Kgs, I think it's reasonable to assume it won't droop? :undecided:
-
I 'think' that's the wall mounting we have for our spare bedroom
It seems very well made but its only holding up a 19inch LCD TV so i can't comment on if it will hold anything more :undecided:
-
I know it's a 19", but what's the weight on it?

Off the top of my head approx 5-7kg :undecided:

Hmmm, f#ck it. If it droops and I can't bodge it easily I'm sure I can send it back as unfit for purpose.
-
it probably dropped cause it was fitted by an idiot. and it was prob mounted on a stud/partition wall.
-
No, it was the ball and socket joint that tilted the TV from the weight not the persons mounting skillz. I could bodge it with a bit of ingenuity and my Macgyver skillz :grin: Though I'd still complain to Habitw@t.
-
Have you read some of the reviews?? several say it doesn't like weight!
b.t.w a mate of mine has his 42" sony on a crappo bracket that's really really bent...... how the fk that's not fallen off?
-
It arrived Saturday while we were out and today was the first day I had to put it up.
Very pleased with it, the wall bracket bit has a spirit level to help keep it straight when you're mouting it. My only gripes were that it was sent in the box itself and thus the box was damaged and no other packaging to protect it in transit - good thing it's solid metal eh? and the other gripe is that the delivery company left it under our door mat - thank f#ck it's pretty secure round here.

Need to plan how we're going to hide the cabling and sockets, in a discrete manner, then we can get rid of the glass unit and also get a radiator cover.
-
If anyone needs a wall mount for their <37inch TV, I suggest one of these - For £10 they are superb.
Cables tidied up a bit, and it does tilt a little but so slightly it doesn't matter.

The wife has decided on an African theme now, so on the look out for other African ornaments to go with my 20year old Zulu shield I bought when I was a kid back in SA :grin:

Nice length of cheap trunking painted wall colour to finish the job?
Looks really good that. I have mine mounted above the fireplace. I like it but the wife finds it too high. She wants it back in the corner like yours!

Samsung 40" LED TV mounted onto wall using 'omni mounts' all cables through wall behind for the tidy finish.

your tv isn't centred on the wall and the socket is p1ssed :lipsrsealed:

Yeah, in two mind about the lower half, either going to box in the whole lower half at an angle across the corner like the TV, then a single peice of trunking going up the wall for the cables, or boxing in the whole corner at the same angle as the TV - but then it might look like the TV is mounted on the 'boxing' or just do it the easy way and trunk up the cables, paint it done... I'd like to go completely cable free and put them in the wall, but that's not an option for me :sad:
-
Good choice of TV, I have the same :cool:
I was in two minds on the same mounting, in the end i went for a stronger less mobile mounting as i did not think the bracket would take the leverage to well at full stretch, especially if my monster cat had one of his acrobatic moments :grin:

In fact I bought this one at Maplins for a lot less than its advertised now.....
-
Why isn't it an option?
First job at the new house was the TV. 50" Samsung Plasma. Looks good because it's on like a swivel bracket and it just floats.
No cables.

Looks good (afro) Ours is on an arm mount and is as droopy as anything :lipsrsealed:

You tightened up the ball joint? That helped mine.
