The 60" TV
That would be a DLP or tube rear projector, right? If you're hanging
a 60" plasma or LCD , I'd REALLY suggest you use a proper mount.
will be suspended from a 2X6 header that is across a 4' wide
opening. Two vertical 1/8X2" pieces of strap iron will be bolted to the
header with 3/16" carriage bolts, using fender washers on the backside
of the header. The vertical pieces of strap iron will be drilled to fit
the four threaded mounting holes in the back of the TV.
NOT a good idea.
The bevel behind
the TV will obscure the rounded heads of the carriage bolts pretty well,
and they'll be painted to match the drywall. Another piece of the same
strap iron will be run from one of the lower mounting holes to the
ceiling at about a 45 degree angle if we think there's too much "sway"
of the TV. It'll be "back in the hole" behind the TV set, and thus not
visible. IMHO, when the big earthquake hits the valley, my friend will
want to take cover UNDER the TV. <grin>
Better him than me.
Seriously, the TV will be replacing an old projection one that sat in an
alcove. One of the salesdudes wanted to sell my friend a $450 "swing
arm" that could extend out 34". I cannot imagine the stress on the
bolts and stud(s) on that back wall when you hang a 170# TV out 32" from
the wall.
One of my suppliers has a new mount that will hold 1000 pounds and
swing it 180 degrees. Costly, but worth it if you need it.
It'd probably take 2-3 drywall screws to hold it all snug and
tight to the wall. <grin> The salesguy was really doing a tap dance to
sell the mount, extended warranty, "new, fresh" cables, delivery,
installation etc.
That's where they make their money.
That's what prompted my question about how
commissions are earned in the industry.
Now, another question for you: Do you feel that cable card slots on
TV's are becoming more or less available? If fewer, then why?
Nonny
MORE available. Better choice for folks who don't have a need or
desire for DVR functionality. Less clutter. Fewer cables. Cheaper
for the cable company. Some issues to deal with are reliability and
compatibility, but those are mostly being worked out now.

GEE...Chuck..I thought your supplier only handled crack cocaine and POT.
Now..tv mounts. Talk about expanding one's product line.
