How does one go about mounting a 55-inch TV that has provision for just two mounting screws on the back side.
The Quick-Start Guide suggests VESA 300x300 should work. However, nearly every Wall Mount on Amazon/Flipkart has provision for 4 Screws, which makes sense.
The Two Screw setup would obviously work for the Stationary Wall Mount that is like “hanging” the TV. Something like this:
However, I would prefer to install a Wall Mount with Swivel and Tilt. Something like this:
Single Arm:
Dual Arms:
If anyone has any experience with mounting a TV with just two screws, please advise.
Alternatively, can anyone confirm if Wall Mounts can be secured to the TV with just Two Screws.
I have called a few technicians, but they are reluctant to come if you do not have the Wall Mount purchased, delivered, and ready to be installed.
Please Help.
There are a lot of tilt swivel mounts which have the TV connector like the one you posted in first pic. Flipkart has these ones in range of 1400-2000 and Amazon has ones in range of 2500 to 3500.
I would not recommend a movable mount with just 2 screws. Your TV is going to fall in a month, if that.
Install using a fixed mount. You can buy the mount locally. It will be cheaper and you can verify the quality or you can ask the technician to bring it.
I would avoid using a fixed mount for a 55inch TV, each time you need to unplug or plug in an HDMI or audio cable, you’ll have to take the TV down every time.
Fixed mount only makes sense for smaller TV’s like 32inch
The holes marked in Yellow have proper threads for screws.
The holes marked in Red do not seem to have threads for screws, and these holes are quite small compared to the top holes. These holes might be barely enough for ensuring the mounting brackets do not rotate.
I will try to get better photos shortly as it is a little risky to move the TV.
Just rechecked. There are no 5-6 Screw mounting holes. The bulged bottom side has speakers inside.
Only the top two holes have metal inserts with provision for mounting screws.
Yes, it seems very weird that there are only two “Proper” Mounting points. Perhaps the manufacturer offered a way to merely “hang” the TV on the cheapest wall mount, which consists of a simple mounting rod fixed to wall, and the TV hung on it with two hangers, one each on the mounting holes.
I have seen such a setup in several offices and homes, but most have been 32-inch TVs, usually for CCTV monitoring.
My TV is installed on a cabinet that has shelves on either side, which means that regardless of how easy the ports are to reach, they remain inaccessible to me. My life got easier when I got the movable swivel mount.
I think there are screw threads on the bottom as well. I can see some metal shining in the photos. It would make no sense for the manufacturer to make holes without threads. Did you try screwing in correct sized screws? Just use your hands to screw them in without the mount.
Yes, this seems to be the primary option.
It is by far the cheapest option and the simplest.
I was hoping to install a swivel mount that allows me to tilt and sway the TV for an optimum viewing angle.
The simple wall “hanging” mount offers no freedom of rotating, tilting, or swaying the TV. It is, however, the easiest and quickest to setup and hang the TV.
