wallmounting philips LCD

[richard plumb]

Finally getting mine on Sunday!

Does the package come with necessary screws for wall mounting? If not, can anyone tell me what size are needed?

It'll be going onto a chimney breast. Don't know its makeup, but some bits sound hollow, others solid.

It comes with the wll bracket, a paper template, and four sturdy 8mm bolt-like screws and rawl-plugs to fit.

It also comes with six smaller screws and rawlplugs to fit (6mm) but I haven't yet worked out what these are for!!

thanks.

Is that for fixing to brick, or will it go on plasterboard? Its only 18kg, compared to 40 for a plasma, so maybe it'll be fine?

BTW, just mounted my front FS1 speakers on the wall with these fantastic fixings from b&q. You just screw the rawlplug type thing into plasterboard and then screw the fixing onto it.

5 minute job, and no drilling or mess! Not completely on topic, but I'm so chuffed I'm telling you anyway :D

They are for the silver wire 'thingy', you know the tube to hide your wires from the screen to the tuner.

but it comes with a built in tuner?

Could it be to attach the wallmount securely to the TV?

It may be a standard pack of screws, I have a Philips plasma with a seperate tuner and that is what they are for in my set up. Otherwise I don't know, sorry.
