The big question is what kind of bracket are you using?

 

If its one that holds the screen fairly flat against the wall then there will be very little force trying to pull the screws out of the wall as all the force is acting stright downwards (c of g of the screen if close to the wall so there is hardly any turning moment around the lowest fastener, if you want to get technical about it).

 

Just to put my money where my mouth is, my 42" plasma is mounted like this using just 8 normal 2" long number 10 screws into bog standard brown rawl plugs. They are in tight, mind you. I drilled the holes undersize on purpose because its mounted to a cinder block inner wall. Its been up for 3 years and doesn't show any signs of budging yet :)

 

On the other hand, if you have a fancy swing out arm anything that holds the csreen away from the wall, you will need significantly stronger fixings.

 

I ahvent seen the brackets - but I want the ones that would be possible to turn TV left or right under a small angle, just in case I dontwant it to be stationary at some times. Tomorrow, goingto speak with the consultant about upgrading the standard ones (£150) to the ones I want. But I want them to email me the pix, in case I'l not like the upgraded one :rolleyes:

How Much Does The Listing Affect What You Can Do With It?

 

I think you cant alter any outside walls of your flat, or have a satellite dish outside, or change your window frames - but its ok to decorate inside etc. Which I did - painted the walls, changed the carpets, lighting etc etc. Theres not much to do with it really - in view of major things, only decorative.

Its not big, its a 1-bed flat but I love it :D
