I have a 42" flat screen Tobisha. Can anyone tell me what size screws I need so that it can be mounted on the tv? I need metric &amp; regular measurements

I couldn't say what screw size as they may differ from brand to brand. I assume they're metric but can't say for sure. When I had this issue, I took one of the screws that held the stand for my tv and tried it in the TV mounting holes (for wall mount). They fit..so I took that screw to the store to find more the same size.

Understandable... I was surprised myself to learn this attached to 1 stud. (I use to install flat screens professionally) I purchased and hung it very carefully. I have a 55" TV. So far it's fine. Was referred by a friend who installed same mount for his 50". I think you'll be fine with a 40". Course' I can't guarantee it. Great mount though. No complaints... yet. I believe the lag bolts were 3.5" or maybe 4".

I I ave samsung 50" 6300 series and it was a pain in the shorts to mount. After several hours of trying to make the mount work, i gave up and callef Samsung and Cheetha. Come to be my kit did not have the M8 screws. Cheetah sent them next day air. I did have to go to home depot for a M8 1.25 screw to mount the bracket to the arm because orignal screw was too short. Finally after hours of frustration thr TV is mounted. I have to say that now that it is up, I love it!

I agree with the previous post. My mount has a 23" LCD TV and it's fine for that. I tried a 32" but there was a lot of stress on the wall so I went back to the 23". A 27" would push this mount to the limit. Get the next size up.

Most of the newer TVs have standard mounting "holes" areleady, usually the four mentioned. The brackets may be flipped from top to bottom by reversing the left and right sides once turned in proper direction. secure the top side first, secure by loose enough to move. Once you have done this, the bottom may be "pulled" or "slid out" to fit the hole brackets. I had trouble figuring this out at first, but once you have it in the correct placement, it is actually very easy.

I think that a tv that size may have a different screw place setup, one to wide/tall for this particular product. Not to mention the weight issue (not the most stable product)

it worked great for a 42inch TV, but does not come with screws to mount TV, but not a deal breaker. Plus you could easily put a 50 inch TV on it and it would be fine. We are very happy with it.

The thing you have to worry about the most is the width on the mounting bracket from screw to screw. The original mounting bracket I bought was the best I've ever seen. Now, they no longer make it and they offer this cheap substitute. (cheap to me) My TV hasn't changed. It was still made in 2008 and is fairly heavy by today's standards. Newer TV's today are bigger and lighter than mine so now maybe this newer bracket is okay for today's TV's. It won't work for mine because of the width. I had to buy a conversion kit to get the new bracket to work with my old TV and it was an additional $15.

I have the 55", so I can't really answer that question. However, I do know that all the flat screens TVs have standard fittings in the rear to fit most any wall mounting bracket. Even the makers of the brackets have designed them to be a universal fit. So, I would say that it would be very easy to find a wall mounting bracket.

Thanks, we moved a 42" Sharp and want to remount elsewhere. It is approx. 3.5 years old and weighs 68plus pounds. They used a Level Mount brand that weighs approx 20 # on its own and very complicated. we will be mounting on drywall and know we have to use studs. just wanted an easier solution. The mount that we took down is for TV's up to 200 pounds. Think this one may be overkill. But the TV is too expensive to get rid of. Thanks again.

I have four 32" flat screens with these brackets attached to them. As long as you are handy with tools and are capable of mounting the larger metal plate to a wall or something, you should be fine. For mounting the smaller plate to the TV, check your TV's manual. Ours required Metric screws which we got at our local hardware store. They were size "M4" if I recall it correctly. You will also want to make sure the wall plate is perfectly level. If it's not, your TV will mount to the wall crooked. Hope this helps!

I agree with the previous answer. It has been a great tv mount. Not obtrusive and very easy to install...Looks like any standard measurements work with this mount. Yours should be fine.

This stand was supposed to fit my 40" samsung tv. The mounting screws are only for an older tv. So make sure the mounting screw fits your tv, before you purchase it. Otherwise, you will have an expensive plant holder like me.. LOL

That will depend on how high you mount the TV and the dimensions of the TV. My 42" Samsung is 10" from the shelf -- plenty of clearance for my center speaker. I wanted to edit my original review to note that my new monitor would not mount with the stock screws and spacers. (My old Sharp mounted without issue.) After a lot of running around to Home Depot and other stores I ended up buying this: Mount-It! Low Profile Plasma & LCD TV Mount compatible with Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic TVs from 32-60" from Amazon. The screws and spacers were the right fit; I tossed the brackets. Hope this helps.

If my memory serves me right this bracket is for 37 to 60 inch televisions. You need to buy a smaller bracket, look for 100m x 100m.

I am having the same problem as you.I am using this product to mount a Samsung UN40H6350 (40") TV. Samsung recesses their holes very deeply. Home Depot only had 20mm long M8 screws which were too short, making it impossible to get the "3 complete turns" that the installation manual demands, and the 25mm M8 screws were too long, not holding the mounting plate securely.23mm long would be ideal, but Home Depot doesn't carry that size.Thread measurement is 1.25 by the way.Good luck!

My TV is held on the stand with 4 pan head Phillips screws, 5 mm diameter, by 15 mm long, fine (0.75 mm) thread. Any big hardware or tool stool should stock them. Buy 6 so you have two spares.
