Fitting a TV Bracket - two screw holes only to attach??

Hi,
I recently bought a second hand Philips 32PHT4503/05 TV set 32" Flat Screen as a TV to put up in the dining room - the plan was it was very light so I could put it up on the wall easily. I ordered a TV bracket which said it was the right fitting - and then I noticed that there was only two screws to fit the bracket in to. Looking at the manual online it says it has 4 screw holes but I can only see two. Personally I think it should be fine with two screws - but I have posted a pic of the back of the TV to see if I am by any chance missing anything! Any comments would be much appreciated.

Bracket required is VESA MIS-F 100x0 Page 9 in the manual. Presumably the reference to 4 plastic caps is a typo.

I've never come across VESA 100x0 before but I presume it means just one row (two screws) on this model 100mm apart.
I'd be tempted to (carefully, and with support) try hanging it on the top two holes on a VESA 100x100 bracket.1 -
https://www.download.p4c.philips.com/files/3/32pht4503_05/32pht4503_05_dfu_eng.pdf implies the 5503 variation should have two VESA mounting points, everything else should be 4, including your 4503.
All the wall mounts seem to imply the model you've pasted is 4 VESA mounting points. You might want to check the model number you've provided.

Regardless of the model number, the picture you have posted only has 2 VESA screw holes so the manufacturer must have felt that was sufficient to take the weight of that set.1

Hi. Did you manage to hang your TV? I have the exact same TV and having the same issue of not finding a bracket that’s suitable.0
