mounting 46xbr4 tv to a PHANTOM 50 (by Z Line Design) tv stand Ordered the television here on Amazon. I'm considering the z-line design model phantom50 television stand which has a "riser" in the back of the stand for mounting the tv, to avoid having to mount your tv to the wall. My question is... What adaptor plate do I need to mount my new 46XBR4 tv to this stand? The "wall mount" Sony says to use for this tv is the su-wl500 which costs around $300.00. If anyone here has this tv mounted on this stand, could you tell me what you used for an "adapter plate"?

I mounted my 46-inch XBR4 on a similar stand from Bell'o at Best Buy and am very happy with the quality of this stand. It is similar in design to the Phantom 50, but does not have the weight capacity....but then again, the Bravia is only about 80 lbs. It came with additional mounting brackets. Also, I need a unit to accommodate a corner (works for a corner or traditional), and this does the trick. VERY happy with my purchase.

I am considering to buy a XBR4 46" myself and I had a conversation with circuit city associates on this topic. I agree with Cheryl. As long as the stand could sustain 84lbs, you guys are good to go.

I just picked up a 46" XBR4 today and the phantom50 stand. The stand comes with it's own mounting bracket so there is nothing additional to purchase.

I had the same problem until I found this stand on display with the 5271 on it. http://www.allyourfurniture.com/ayf/default_en/item.php?selected_item=62676 I purchased that from a local retailer during a sale for $154. It includes a mount so you can hang your LCD or Plasma without damaging your wall. The black glass and the piano black finish of the front match the gloss black of the bezel very well. The best "feature" is if you put your center channel on the top shelf where the TV normally sits, it works well and does not take up any additional shelf space. The stand appears to be of good build quality but did have some scuffs and scratches on the shelf supports. Luckily the shelves cover these flaws.

Rhonda, I have the same problem with the Sony 46Z4100 I unpacked yesterday. I have a call into the store I bought it from and am waiting for a response. There is no way to adjust the tilt of the stand that I can see without taking the stand apart. It may have to be replaced. Harvey

J.T. Carlile, what vendor did you use? Went to Nextag but couldn't find out who was including a free wall mount.

I too had a VESA 200 X200 swivel mount bracket already on my bedroom wall. Went from 37 inch to 47 inch TV. Measured several times between holes on adapter plates. Long story short, could never get ALL the holes to line up just right to accommodate screws for my LG tv. Even with my neighbor helping, wound up scratching new tv. In the end, I bought a quality tv stand with shelves. Was able to screw hanger hooks into each hole and simply hang it on rack. Adapter plates may work for you. Worth a try and you can always return it. Got a prompt refund on mine. Good luck.

Use this mount: http://www.amazon.com/Peerless-SF660-Mount-32-63IN-Screens/dp/B0009JR42E/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1197657583&sr=8-3 It is bigger than the same model mount that goes up to 46" and guess what, that one does not fit (I have tried that with my moms TV). Also, use spacers (even though it shows them as not required, you wouldn't want the screws popping out of place).

To anyone that is wanting to mount this TV, you can purchase this kit http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082801&p_id=5915&seq=1&format=2 It has the 4 screws you need to mount the TV. I just mounted my sons this morning.

Yeah, I waited for months and finally pulled the trigger when it was that low. It's back up to 2350.00 now. On the last post I meant to say it jumped from 2144.99 to 2299.99 not 2999.99. I didn't mount it but I have it on my dvd/boxset cabinet and thanks to its wide base and it being fairly light (especially for the size) it works well. There are tons of wall mounts out there but most just say fits any LCD 32"-50" or something like that. I have never mounted a tv so I wouldn't be able to help you but just google it and you should find recommendations.

Just look here on amazon for brackets and they will tell you how big the tv should be.look at the back of the set then look at the pic of the bracket. I think this is the one I used Peerless PA730 Universal Articulating Wall Mount for 10-inch to 29-inch Displays (Black)

Good morning T. Laurent! Recently, we purchased the TLC 32" TCL L32HDF11TA 32-Inch 720p 60 Hz LCD HDTV with 2-Year Warranty, Black and mounted it on a wall, but to save you from some of the headaches we had I thought I'd share the following. First, here is the wall mount we purchased: VideoSecu Tilt TV Wall Mount bracket for Most 32"- 55" LED LCD Plasma Flat Screen TV, MF607B 1QH This wall mount comes with a good variety of bolts 'n such for a variety of different televisions, however, none of them will fit into the back of the TCL, nor is there anything in TCL's single-sheet instructions informing you of what size of screws are needed. We first bought size 8 and 6 screws in both 3/4" and 1/2" as we were unsure what would work. The size 8 seemed to fit a bit better, however, while testing if it would go in okay, the screw snapped off flush! Oh no~!! It took a lot of time carefully drilling that little sucker out without messing up the threading. In any event, we finally got it out. (The size 6 was too small in diameter and would not grip the threading at all.) We finally ran into a very knowledgeable man at the hardware store who informed us that we probably needed a metric size screw, being the set is manufactured in China. He explained the difference in the pitch of the threading and so on. We no longer have the sales receipt from the metric screws we purchased, but I have an extra screw and it measures 1" long and is between the American size 6 and 8. I'm sure if you take this info to your hardware store, you'll find what you need, but you will definitely need metric. Also, we mounted this wall mount into a concrete wall, so we purchased extra lag bolts and anchors (that the bolts fit into once the hole is drilled) just to be sure it would stay put. We used 8 in all, which is probably overkill, but better safe than sorry, and it's rock solid. I hope this helps and I'm sure you'll love this TCL television. We love ours! God bless you and yours! Ellexis...

Hello Alceu,The LED screen you're asking about will work with this stand since you'll only be mounting two screens. You just won't use the middle mounting bracket. The recommended weight for this stand is 13 pounds per screen, but it can actually hold quite a bit more. So, your screens will not be too heavy for the stand. You will need adapters, however. Here is an example of what you will want for an adapter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200x200-VESA-Adapter-PLATE-LCD-LED-TV-MONITOR-WALL-MOUNT-BRACKET-200x100-100x100-/281183609476?pt=US_TV_Mounts_Brackets&hash;=item4177d96284You will need one adapter per screen.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Thank you,Taylor W.VIVO Hello Alceu,The LED screen you're asking about will work with this stand since you'll only be mounting two screens.

This is a mystery of science. Mechanical drawings show virtually no difference that I can see, but 410 is advertised for TVs 37-84 and 510 for 51-80. The actual drawing numbers from Sanus are different, usually indicating a truly different product. The limiting factor is the max width between the two vertical arms which attach to the back of the TV. Both are the same value, as well as max weight. Somehow the spec for the max distance to the wall is slightly different. I have two VLF410s, and it's considered the "do all" mount from Sanus. I've had no issues with the install or operation on a 40 and 50" unit, but I did buy a different one for a 65" plasma, which is close to the max weight for the 410. This is a mystery of science.

I have the same TV and I looked behind my TV set to look at the optical adapter. I bought my TV as floor model and it didn't come with any of these adapters, so just like you; Had to buy them all online a piece at a time.After looking behind my TV set, that is the exact part number (and part) that my UN46C8000 TV uses. This IS the adapter you need to connect fiber optic to your TV. So... buy it! ENJOY THE TV SET. It may be 2-3 years old, but it's an amazing TV!!!!

I bought one used from Amazon Marketplace for use as a WiFi adapter for the PC (I don't have Dish) and the thing had a Dish Logo on it! So that shows that Dish uses this adapter but on the other hand why did someone sell theirs on the internet?

Sorry for the late response! Just saw this! Sweet TV! Amazon didn't show a pattern size in the ad. I would recommend a sturdy swivel and tilt mounting bracket for this set. It's plasma, so it's going to be heavier than an LED/LCD. Also, 3D TV's sometimes look better when you are directly in line with the screen, versus sitting at an off angle. The mount I bought would probably be a little too wimpy for a 70-lb plasma set. The best way to find out what will fit is to measure the mounting hole locations on the back of your TV set. Measure center-to-center on a pair of mounting spots, lined up horizontal and then a pair lined up vertical. The most common measurement used is in millimeters. If the TV mounts are in a square pattern, it might measure 400 x 400 mm. If a rectangle, it might measure 400 x 600. Usually, the box (or advertisement) will say "VESA compliant 400mm x 600mm." The mounting points are easy to find, look on the back of the set and look for 4 obvious large-headed screws (normally a Philips head pattern) or 4 large empty threaded holes. Those are your mounting points on the TV. Once you find them, measure the left and right distances, then the top and bottom. If you get a wonky number, like 317mm, one of the two points is wrong. Wall Mounts will support a variety of sizes. Knowing the X00mm x X00mm numbers on your set and the mount are key. Again, I would recommend a sturdy mount that telescopes, tilts and swivels. I see there is one just for your set, but it's $550! Yikes! You can get by just as well for under $75. That must be a misprint! Ha! If you shop local at the "blue" store, you are going to pay big dollars. Measure your mounting points and hit the Amazon site. Hope this helped!

I had the same exact issue and was dead-set on getting my stand up the day it arrived. I purchased the VideoSecu Tilt TV Wall Mount for 22-37 in LCD, LED Flat Panel Screen VESA up to 400x300 CQJ, and it didn't come with the screws needed to mount the TV. After going back and forth to Home Depot, I finally found the correct sized screws (or at least, probably the best I'm going to be able to find) for the TV. The screws I purchased are: M4 Machine Screw: 7 x 30mm. They come in a 2-pack, and they are pretty cheap. Hope this helps!

The 46" model has a 200mm x 600mm mounting pattern. Many VESA mounts will work. The SunBrite mount is nice, but not the only solution.
