    The manual should tell you if the TV uses a standard "VESA" mount and the spacing for it*, you can then look at mounting brackets from there (Samsung might even do their own backet, but it'll be expensive).
    From memory B&Q for example do a double arm bracket that can take anything from a 20inch up to a 50 inch set, and comes complete with a wide variety of fixings/brackets for the different VESA mount sizes, however it's fairly expensive and bulky.
    The likes or Richer Sounds would be able to advise on a bracket (they sell a range) if you know the vesa size, or possibly even just model.

    *the VESA mount is a standardised set of spacings for mounting monitors/tv's (IIRC there are 3 or 4 different spacings),
  • ...or just look on the back of the TV and measure the screw holes. That'll tell you the VESA size you need.

    A lot of mounts come with varying sizes.

    thanks

    i have found the manual but i cant seem to find the VESA information.

    i called samsung and gave them model number

    they said i could use a standard VESA wall mount model: WMN4070

    How much are these and where is cheapest?

    thanks once again...
  • I don't know what that model number is. Could it be a Samsung part number?

    I've used this site for my last 2 brackets.
