    Hey folks, recently bought a ceiling mount for my 32" LCD TV. I found one on ebay that could handle the weight and assumed that all TVs were standard for brackets and mounting. I was wrong.
    The mount arrived and the plate for screwing onto the TV is is much smaller than the holes on the TV itself. The TV is a 32" Samsung and heres the blurb from the mount


    CEILING MOUNT LCD MONITOR BRACKET A ceiling mount bracket for LCD/TFT screens, the bracket has adjustable drop, swivel and tilt to allow the screen to be easily positioned. Adjustable length 670 - 1070mm 180° swivel and tilt VESA mount compatible (75mm and 100mm spacing) Complete with fixing hardware Base 172mmØ Maximum load 20kg Robust metal and plastic construction


    Does anyone know where i could possibly find an adapter or something for this? or am I up Sh*t creek?

    nice one

    VESA mount is the universal bracket configuration for LCDs/Plasmas etc, are you sure you have recieved all the bits and pieces that came with the mount and also that your screen is VESA compatible?

    VESA Mount sizes can vary. I think the Samsung may be 100x200mm or 200x200mm.

    Some braketry can come with allowance for all of these.

    Some info on VESA Mounts here:

    I had the same problem last year for my dell w2600...had it so hard to find a cheap vesa 100*200 mounting arm, so I bought one that was only 100*100 and got an adapter plate from an Irish site called CPC.
    I've searched their site and they still sell them...

    ~€14 inc VAT

    They also have this solution for about half the price:
    http://cpcireland.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/partDetail.jsp?SKU=ST01208

    That's a great site for mounts and have some decent prices compared to what shops are selling mounts for...
