Hi,

I'm looking to buy a VESA wall mount for a small TFT TV that I have just 
ordered.  Goal is to install TV under a kitchen unit so it can be kept off 
the worktop and pushed flush against the wall when not in use.

I can't believe the price of these things.

This style is what I would like:
http://ws2.homecinematv.co.uk/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=VOG-EFW1030
But over 90 incl. delivery!  Tough to justify..

Looking around there are cheaper ones like this:
http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/hardware/monitorsanddisplays/productView.htm?quicklinx=2Z0W
But not so many degrees of freedom.

Any other ideas/suggestions before I start to save my pocketmoney!

I wanted one for ceiling mounting, and the prices were even more
outrageous. I could only then find them in pro broadcasting dealers.

So I made one using copper tube and my trusty pipe bender. If anything it
looks better than the pro models which tend to be adjustable to fit a
range of sizes and shapes.

Of course this approach probably wouldn't work for what you need as the
stresses in a wall mounting are different.

There are many, many mounts for LCD and plasma screens on www.ebay.co.uk, no 
idea if there are any that will suit your needs though.

I bought one for my 23" (Philips) LCD TV off www.ricamstore.co.uk
which is located in Perthshire ... somewhere...
described as an _articulated bracket_ it's basically two
nine-inch arms with a sway and tilt bracket. It folds
back into the wall (about two-inches off); can pull out
about eighteen inches; can 'translate' eighteen odd inches
to left or right; and from any of the positions in that arc
can swivel +/- 80(?) deg and pitch up/down 20(?) deg.
all for a cost of 26.99.
Standard disclaimer - I'm only a satisfied customer - found 'em
off a Google search and was satisfied with their price and service.

It does look a bit rural up there.
