Q. I'm wondering if anyone here would be able to help with my current problem.
I'm a proud owner of a new Sony 46" LCD Tv; and with the amount of money we have spent, the wife is
insistent that we securely anchor the set to the wall behind the set.
To be clear, we do not want to wall mount, but to anchor to the wall with cables,etc.
The problem is that the TV does not ship with any mounting/anchoring hardware; and when "shopping"
for mounting hardware, we can only find wall mounting gear.
I have purchased the M6 screw/bolts that will go into the back of the set, but I need some sort of
flat washer that will have a "mounting loop" to which I can thread with 1/4" braided steel wire.
I have spent some time at my local Lowes store and could not find anything, but I don't know if what I'm looking for exists, or what to call it.
I was hoping that someone here could either provide me with a weblink; or a industry accepted name for this type of an item.
Thanks

This wall mount amazed me with the hardware included. Every screw that could be used with a TV out there was included. It was simple to install and does the job, why pay a lot more for a similar unit. It doesn't let you tilt the TV, but if you just look for a mount that allows you to hang your TV flat on the wall, this is the unit to buy. I used it for a 32" LCD flat panel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding product -- the manufacturer has thought it out carefully, January 30, 2007

This is a very solid steel mount which easily handles our 40" LCD TV. The packaging is outstanding (really) in that all the hardware you need is enclosed in carefully compartmentalized plastic bags.
After mounting, you can slide the TV left or right a few inches if required. It is also possible to "lock" the TV to the mount but it is a bit of a pain as you need to use a specially designed (included) allan key and the screw is so close to the wall that you can't turn the key through 360 degrees. It also tend to dust your knuckles a bit as you turn it. Finally, it becomes impossible to tilt the TV out enough to change the cables at the back once the lock screw is tightened.
Once mounted, I found the TV to be very close to the wall so if you have component cables with long plugs they may touch the wall when the TV is in place.
When installing mounts like these, pay very close attention to the instructions as you must make sure there is a sound mechanical connection with a stud or cement block. Drywall alone will not work as a mounting surface. Mounting to metal studs is particularly troublesome.
I installed it on cinder block and plaster without difficulty. Thankfully the force applied by the TV is mostly downward rather than outward in the case of a tube TV so you can feel quite comfortable that the thing will stay put as long as you mount it carefully. Use a level.
It is just a pleasure to use such a well designed and carefully thought out product.

Best LCD TV....?
Q. I am looking for an LCD flat panel HD 1080p TV. I am looking in the 48 inch + range. Money is not a huge factor (looking to spend $5000 or less). I am looking for the BEST tv for the money. Anyone with experience or just LOVES there LCD let me know!! (I will be picking a best answer by the way =] )
A. The February issue of Consumer Reports has just come out with reviews of many TVs. The highest rated 46" LCD TV was the Sony KDL-46XBR5. The highest rated 52" LCD was the Sony KDL-52XBR4. Both are under $4000.
I have a Sony 40", and yes, I do love it! I bought it because of it's good rating in CR's November issue, and they were correct!
