Are the £80-£100 wall brackets that all the main digital retailers sell worth it? I'm specifically talking about the ones for a 50" TV....

I just want to know what’s the difference between these and the ones that Tesco sells or the ones from eBay??

The only difference I can see is the price!!

All I can say on the subject is that I have installed expensive and cheap ones and never had a problem with either. You pay your money and take your chances.

i've just taken out the plasma tv out the box and its so heavy now im thinking twice about placing it onto the wall... it seems like a scary idea... i can't see it holding to be honest...

the plasma im referring to is the samsung 50" which has been on sale recently in currys/dixons....

If you fix the bracket to the wall properly it will hold. Use m8 sheild anchors or similar. You will only have problems if you don fit the bracket correctly.

I bought mine from ebay and it is really strong, the ones from the high st retailers are just way overpriced. Think I paid about £40 for mine, I have a 46inch TV, and can almost put it at a 90 degree angle to the wall.

I used coach bolts and decent wall plugs, the bracket has about 8 fixing holes and goes into brick, it isn't going anywhere.

can you send me the link to the bracket of ebay please
