    DIY Plasma TV mounts??

    The other day a friend of mine sourced a wall mount for his 42" NEC plasma. The prices came in from $899.99 - $1200.00. Has any-one tried making their own or could give some ideas how to?


    Much apreciated

    Probably can be done with angle iron/flat steel from one of the big box stores. Some welding might be necessary. Would need to see a photo the back of the TV to be sure.

      Wow! And here I am trying to make beer money selling speakers - I'm in the wrong business!

      Thomas is correct as usual - some beefy angle brackets matched to the rear mounting holes. If you don't trust your DIY skills, take a drawing of the back of the display to a local welding shop -it'll be way cheaper than the prices your friend was quoted.

        Hank, Hank :nono:

        Any-ways, we came up with a solution thanks to you guys too. The plasma came with a table top stand > 2 legs a base) we removed the base from the legs and turned the legs upside down a welded a rod across the top. This way we did a ceiling mount instead of a wall mount. worked perfectly. We also added an additional bar coming down from the backside of the plasma witha plate so that we could mount the center speaker directly under the plasma. It looked like it was a part of the plasma!! It took some time, but it worked........ Thanks guys :thanku:

          Clive, you're right - I shouldn't try to sell speakers. How can I fight the likes of Bose? I guess I'll call the local customer who just ordered seven speakers and tell him to forget it, I'm going into the plasma display mount business.

          Sounds like you did a first-class install with that combo plasma/center channel mount - way to go :yeah:

                Good Idea, I'll ask them if they could send me something. Not sure I can get back in there soon. I should start taking a cam with me.
