HDTV wall mounts..which one?

[autoponicz]

im picking up a hdtv very soon....
most likely the 32" samsung LN-T3242H......


looking to wall mount this baby.....should i go with ebay...they are low prices but im worried that its flimsy......which ones do you guys use and where did you buy it..
i would like it to hang close to the wall...nothing overly extruding.... im also interested in the tilting one.

thanks.

First I would ask them to recommend one for that TV at the store you are picking it up at. Then I would write it down and Surf the web for a lower price. Also if you want to hide your componets like cable box and stuff you will need a RF repeater or similiar system. Some words of wisdom make sure you have BEAMS where you want to mount the TV some older places have some wall studs spread out further. have fun with you TV.

I have the same TV and love it. The wall mount I used was this one from Ergotron, http://www.ergotron.com/Products/LargeDisplayMounts/tabid/160/ctl/Product/mid/546/PRDID/130/language/en-US/default.aspx.
Fit the set perfectly and I like the fact you can move it to suit your viewing.

Tilt mount but not cantilever = $65

Hey Jim,

This is the one I got and I love it:

It appears to be the same one that Masterswimmer recommended. You should also pickup some HDMI cables. I have been able to find a place that can match Monoprice prices.

Good luck.

Btw, I used it mount a 46" Sharp LCD and it's very sturdy. I know plasmas weight more, but the size difference will make up for some of the weight difference.

I paid $.15 per HDMI cable (2 meters long) plus shipping from amazon. I've been using this cable for over 4 months. Works great. All the reports read the there is no difference between the $70 Monster cables and the less expensive ones. I see no difference either.

FYI, they do charge excessive shipping. It cost $15 to ship three cables. Still unbelievably cheap at $15.45 for three HDMI cables.

Yeah that's how they secretly tack on extra money to the bill. When i got my $2.99 HDMI cables it was $3.00 shipping each. And when i got it it was just in a normal padded envelope shipped USPS. That couldn't have costed more than $1.00 for both cables.

I think they sell them so cheap because this way they save on income tax. The sale price is taxable, but the shipping and handling is recovery of an 'expense'. Either way works out for the consumer.
