I used Velcro to put a 40inch tv on the bedroom ceiling above the bed on the wife's side but unfortunately its holding despite jumping around in the attic at 1am.

Why would you buy an expensive television and then try and stick it up on the wall for a quid?!

Invented by me :smiley:

What kind of Idiot would trust a 27inch TV (approx £300) to a £1 TV mount....?

Would it not be more secure mounting your TV with Blu Tack than this?

only for the brave..

I put my 52" tv on the wall with this, jobs a good un'

amd next day you wake up to find the tb on the floor with half the tv mount stull atached to it and the remaining still on the wall..... f*** that

Plastic... Wooo

hey it's made in Britain!

I wouldn't trust this with my TV but I wonder if it could hold a PC monitor?! :smirk:

If it works it's a bargain, if it doesn't it's an insurance claim.

I'm pretty sure Poundland sells Blu-Tac too.

I've seen an 8'x4' sheet of plasterboard hanging on a wall by one screw. A 27" TV won't trouble this mount.

this could actually be the worlds most expensive TV mount :smirk:

probably the same reason you buy a £600 phone and buy a £1 glass screen protector or a 99p bumper hoping that your bargain purchase will be sufficient.

there is no reason why this would be a risk, an average 27" led tv without a stand is approx 4 kilos. the bracket is attached to a plasterboard wall using cavity wall anchors then the other part of the bracket bolted onto the tv, then the tv is placed onto the wall part. it's a flush bracket no moving parts and again it's British made so no cheap Chinese made tat. just because it's in the poundshop doesn't mean it's crap, just look at the Belkin stuff etc. this might have been destined for another major outlet not the poundshop.

You had a sound argument there, until you mentioned Belkin.

​i was waiting for that however as good or as bad as Belkin maybe there are some Belkin bargains to be had i.e iPad air covers

​note to oneself: remove Panasonic Plasma off ones wall

Dammit. Got to take my Sony and Samsung down too. Not sure where I'm supposed to put either of them though.

​How long ago did you mount it?

​My 65" S-UHD LG looks absolutely fine on its stand...

A few years back but if I do get another TV it will be staying on its stand

tesco selling a 23" refurbished blaupunkt for £69 that weights 3.6kg I guess with the stand, so a bit lighter without, this £1 bracket is ideal for a cheap tv like this one.

Unless you also paid £1 for your TV, I'd probably give this a miss...

OP isn't reassuring me any...

Yeah, you commoner!

So did your wife at the end of the isle, look how that turned out :wink:

It's 2016 - what kind of lowbrow council-house untermensch thinks his ownership of unremarkable consumer electrical goods is a boast worth making?

Unt ven you leave Europe, ze mighty Luftwaffe vill bomb your British slum cities unt flatten your filthy Poundland as vell!!

Haha, yes, it's utter junk :wink:

So you're completely with me then? Wall mounting was 'cool' back in the day when flat TVs were quite unusual and expensive, but now the whole idea is far too diluted.

Is that the Isle of Man, or Isle of Wight? :wink:

I claim exemption as my plasma is on the wall for safety reasons (don't want to discover what injuries a toppled plasma will inflict on my 2yo). :smiley:

Scilly?

Hopefully Wight or you have some explaining to do to your wife and HUKD :wink:

Will this be ok for my 32" CRT? Probably over the quoted weight but they always build in some tolerance...?

Fanboi

Ceiling

​if you're looking for safety around a 2 year old then i suggest you buy the bracket and fix the child to the wall

Bought one of these a couple of days ago, can't argue for the price.
Ok I'm only going to trust it with my 17" PC monitor, but for a nice flush/low profile mount it looks good enough.
Yep I probably wouldn't trust a 27" TV on it ether but for budget/low weight screens its worth a try.

And if you still don't trust it, its got to be worth £1 for the bag of fixings including wall plugs and screws that come with it :wink:

Is that not a bit of a personal question :stuck_out_tongue:

Guess I'd best remove ours off the wall too and could then use the OH as a stand...be ideal as it'll be fully portable and saves me having to get up off my backside and pull the curtain across when the sun reflects off the screen...will just get the OH to move a couple of feet with the TV instead...totally sorted don't know why I didn't think of it years ago :wink:

I have a Plasma TV that weighs 60kg! even TV tables bow under it's weight. Somehow I don't think a £1 TV mount would hold it to the wall! :laughing:

Well that's quite a general statement, my monitor cost way more than that and has the features to boot. Sometimes you get what you pay for, although I do appreciate that many on this website (not all) don't quite get that.

What monitor have you got, saw an Acer 27" on ebuyer a few weeks ago for £110

A much better one than the one you were looking at it seems. Not all monitors are comparable simply for being the same size.

I bought another one of these for my work canteen and mounted a 32" it is extremely strong...
Brilliant product, dont listen to the idiots who havent bought one and gave their opinion.
everyone who has bought one has left glowing reviews.

I think we now know who has stocks in cheap wall mounts...
