Title: LCD Wallmount, anyone done it? Post by: mnkyman on March 16, 2009, 10:05:11 PM So i'm planning on wall mounting a 18" LCD to run a dual set-up with my laptop, anyone have any suggestions on making the job easier? Anyone done this before?
I already bought a bracket, but found out about monoprice.com today so i'm probably going to return the one I got and getter a better one from MP Title: Re: LCD Wallmount, anyone done it?

It's really not that hard to do. Are you mounting it on to drywall?

The screws slid out of the brick and down came the shiny new sony plasma. Since then we have hung a 42" samsung, 50" Runco, and 50" Fujitsu in our house Just make sure to get it in the stud. Run the wires behind the wall because itll look shitty if you dont. Other than that it is a piece of cake. I dont suggest getting a swivel mount because the look crappy and stick out far. I think thats why the sony came out because it stuck out so far.

I would run the wiring in the wall, but its going up in my apartment and my lease will be up in July, so I will live with the cables for now... |
