Tv brackets..

Looking at the brackets and noticed they are showing screen size but then the weight underneath, the tv for example a 32" weighing 13kg and the bracket says

Supports up to 18Kgs
For 13"-24" screens

could i use this or does it have to be suitable for the screen too..i know going into comet etc on my own they will probably try and rip me off! Thanks

    All brackets should follow a standard as the mounting points are supposed to be standardised across all flat panel TVs so the weight is the most important. When you buy it, tell them that it's for the specific model of your TV and is it suitable. That way, if it ends up not being, they have to refund you.

    Try tescos as their brackets I've noticed are a hell of alot cheaper than any in comet currys etc.
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    Thanks for replys, got one in B&Q in the end, swivel and tilt one down from £60 to £47, seeing as you can't see them the cheaper the better! none of the others fitted the back so were no good despite weight.
