32" LCD/Plasms TV wall mount £30 from Sainsbury's

Sainsbury's had these up at £79.95 before Christmas, but in their sale they have them marked down to only £29.99. If you look on the electrical sites like Currys and Dixons they run into hundreds of pounds.

They will mount screens from 27" up to 32" on walls and are a steal at this price. Take the car to pick one up though as they weigh in at a hefty 8kg or so!

Shame they won't fit my new 37". Anyone know of a good place for one?

Hmm, they are 39.99 in my local sainsbury's. I know because I bought one.

Takes up to 45kg.

Having now put this on a wall, some comments/advice for those thinking of buying.

It is a very sturdy piece of equipment and I would be happy to hang 45kgs from it.

However, a couple of caveats:

1. They do not supply wall fixings. You need 65mm long screws with a head of at least 10mm diameter...not the easiest to find. Worth getting good rawplugs too.

2. The bolts they supply for attaching the mount to the TV were 30mm long. This was too much for my TV (Toshiba) so I had to go out and buy 16mm bolts. I assume they are so long because they supply spacers for TVs without a flat back - if using the spacers the bolts would be the correct length.

Apart from that I am pleased with the wall mount.

I should mention that I saw one in Asda for 32" TV's that could take a maximum of 30kg's for £37.50. This one had a short arm and could be angled left/right & up/down. The sainsbury's is up/down only.

I chose the sainsbury's one for 2 reasons: I wanted the TV as close to the wall as possible; and I wasn't happy about hanging my new TV off of a short arm as my walls are old and not in the best condition.
