Onoff Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hugely scientific this! By the heel of the palm method, 4x2 studs roughly where the white bits of paper are. Youngest wants me to mount her 32" LCD between wardrobe and light switch. I offered flat to the wall, she wants tilt and swivel! Must be cheap! Been looking at CPC but OMG the choice! Guessing I might have to affix say some thin Unistrut across 3 studs and fix the bracket to that? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I have a spare one that I didn't get around to returning in time. It swivels (a lot!) but only has a small amount of tilt (which I think is typical): You're welcome to it - PM me if of interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The problem with swivel, is they tend to fix to one narrow point as the one @jack has shown. Fine if it lines up with a stud but you are lucky if that is the case. You can get tilting brackets that like the flat ones, tend to be wide so span across 2 joists usually. Would just tilt do?

Sadly she WANTS swivel too. Must have SWMBO's "that picture isn't straight" gene! Tbf her bed is off to the right in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 There is this one, that has a larger than normal bit on the wall so should stand a better chance of finding a stud to fix to https://cpc.farnell.com/electrovision/a195fe/dual-pivot-tilt-swivel-tv-brkt/dp/ST03901?st=pull out tv bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably going to have Jack's surplus one and just bolt / weld an offset plate on to centre it in the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
