Need for 40" LCD. Which brands to look for/avoid ? Best to buy manufacturers model ? Best place to buy in Pattaya ?Thanks for any advice.

I would buy the universal ones, no need to buy the manufacturer's.

You can buy them at Numchai's Store on the Sukumvitt.

Also check if you need left & right tilt as well as top & bottom tilt.

Consider the correct fixings to the wall for the size and weight of the TV.

Know what type of wall you will be fixing to, (breezeblock or clay brick) and

choose the correct rawplugs accordingly,remember breezeblock walls are soft,

therefore short rawplugs can easily pull out once weight of the TV is mounted.

At one time Numchai was the only place where you could find them and they have / had several imported brands

But now Power Buy is selling them also, so I would go to their new store on Pattaya Klang, up (towards Sukumvit) from Foodland and check them out

Addition to the above post: They also sell them at the Power Buy Store in the Central Shopping Mall on Beach Road (Next to Soi 9 Police Station)

You need those bolts, about 1cm diameter that expand as the screw is tightened.

I would not like to trust my expensive TV to rawlplugs.

So true

Yes, agreed when fixing in to concrete or red clay bricks, but these expanding bolt

studs don't work well with breeze-block walls as they're too soft and the studs can pull out.

You need to check your screw hole size. The universal brackets do not fit all TVs (though they do fit most). Just measure the distance between screw holes. If you are conserned about the dtrength of the wall, consider drilling through and fitting bolts to small plates, and then cover with a picture. This would be ultra safe.
