TV Mount

[jcwads]

Right, this one is doing my head in.

Have a replacement Samsung 24 inch TV for my Galley. The existing TV has a mount that goes directly onto a bracket already fixed on the boat, so I want to naturally use that.

However the mount holes are 100mm spacing apart on the old TV and 75mm apart on the new TV, so, the mount doesnt fit.....

Trying to find some kind of adapter, but having no luck! Anyone ever got round this problem?

Ergatron VESA 75mm to 100mm conversion plate should do it.

Actually scrap that. I think it is to convert a smaller mount to 100x100 tv but my issue is it’s the other way round - smaller tv holes and larger mount...

why can't use the same adaptor plate, surely shouldn't matter?

After a quick google, it seems it doesn’t convert both ways

If you cant find an adapter, try converting the backplate of a wall mounted bracket. Had a look at mine that was never used and drill 4 holes using the front plate as a guide should do it.

Oh... in my mind I am struggling to see how it couldn't.. but accept your findings.

Think I could knock something up in SS in about half an hour...

WE had a games room put in the loft for the kids, with a firemans pole & a tv at the top of it, builders made a stainless plate & some clamps to fit.

Apols to the OP for reading your conversion the wrong way round. If you can't find anything readymade to do a perfect job, maybe with the cheap Ergotron plate: drill out the threaded holes on 75mm centres to accept M4 bolts to the back of the telly, then pop down to B&Q for some nuts, bolts and washers to fix the 100m VESA points to your wall mount?

I assume that is with the coffee break included?

well actually I am thinking it will require two plates, maybe with some spacers.. I think I will need the full 30 mins. Coffee and custard creams will need to come later.
