TV stand screws?

I've been (very kindly) been given a logik TV, but the person who gave it to me has lost the screws that attach the TV to the base (they had it wall mounted). It's about 32in if that makes a difference!
Anyone know what size/type of screws I need to get? I'd rather not wall mount it myself for various reasons.
Thanks in advance xx

I think most (all?) mounting system comply with VESA standards, so it should be a standard type of screw, I imagine.
This Wikipedia page shows VESA standard screw sizes... Not sure if that helps at all...?

Oh, and this eBay listing for a selection of screws sounds like it might contain what you need:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LCD-Plasma-TV-Screen-VESA-Stand-Bracket-Mounting-Screws-Selection-Pack-/2514232409140 -
Manuals here, may list the screw sizes in the assembly diagram

My understanding is that VESA standards do not cover such attachments.
Whilst some of those screws in that ebay listing may well be suitable, it is also possible that they may be too long and cause damage to the tv internals.
Op, proceed with caution.0 -
Make and model might give us a clue. They aren't usually very long or large screws.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

Logik is the own brand of currys / pc world so a call to their customer services / technical support should point you in the right direction.
just make sure as mentioned above that you don't get screws that are too long as you can cause internal damage.
shouldn't be a difficult size to get.0 -
All good stuff, but I think the OP is looking for screws to attach a table-top stand to the television.
My understanding is that VESA standards do not cover such attachments.
True, but I thought that it would probably be easier for the manufacturer to use the same screws for the VESA mount as for the table-top stand. But yeah -- proceed with caution, OP!0 -
From memory mine are a blunt ended self tapper about 10mm long. Try borrowing some from old electrical items. If you can see a machined thread in the hole try similar threaded screws.
If yours are type B this is what they look like but 60p each plus £3.50 is to much.
