I was wondering whats the best way of mounting a LCD TV

on the wall vs cupboard.

On the Wall its difficult to get to the connectors behind the screen but its looks better (slim fit)

On cupboard its easier to get the cabling in (and out)

I saw THIS/ bracket that i like, cause you can move it towards the wall and then forward if needed.
Pricing is just way too high... what do you guys, anywhere that I can get something similar.

I also see that they advertise brackets 20"- 32" and 32" - 40" with a weight capacity of 50kg or 75kg.
My LCD weigh just about 20 kg, but is 40". Will the mounting points of a 32" not fit (VESA universal holes on LCD's)?
I don't see the reason of getting this huge @ss bracket that can take a weight of 75kg.
 
I also need one, but cannot find it in my heart to pay almost R500 for a few pieces of metal and a few screws. So it`s standing on the cupboard untill i`ve bought enough glue gun sticks :D
 
I bought 1 but its so huge, and heavy. I know its gonna sit too near to the wall. I bought it for R249 (Ellies), but I will have to take it back.
 
I'd get something from Aavara - quality mounts. Depends on size, VESA mounting holes, etc.
 
zakspeed is a good bet...

also Ellies (Game, makro etc etc) have some pretty standard mounts you can use that are decent quality
 
barkan have some cheaper ones too - in the 300-400 range
pretty decent
