Can you wall mount this tv? Anyone used zip? Reviews look good, TV looks good. Is it wall mountable? And has anyone used zip to do the wall mounting? Looks expensive.

I have this tv wall mounted and it looks wonderful. I used a local handyman although I was thinking of Zip. I paid $300 which included hiding the cables in the wall and another electric box installed in an unobtrusive area which connects to my DVD player and allows access to place future connections to the tv.

I was wondering the same thing and sent an e-mail to Uniden. They're reply was that the unit is NOT wall mountable. I've been trying to find one on display locally so I could see if there was any way to rig it to a wall mount, but so far no stores seem to carry it.

I also just found out Amazon has a Wall mount bracket they charge you 35 bucks for... sheesh. I am sure that you could find something similar at a hardware store.

To anyone that is wanting to mount this TV, you can purchase this kit http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp;_id=10828&cs;_id=1082801&p;_id=5915&seq;=1&format;=2It has the 4 screws you need to mount the TV. I just mounted my sons this morning.

I don't recommend it. Check the specifications to see the maximum weight recommended. You will probably be using the unit to hold a receiver or other components, and if you add the weight of the TV to that, it's probably more than the unit can hold. Of course, if you have a small TV, and no components, it could work. But don't risk the whole unit ripping out of the wall, with all your stuff crashing to the floor. I mounted my TV on the wall with a Cheetah mount, and it works and looks great. I keep the top of the unit completely clear, since there's plenty of room for your components on the lower shelves.

OK so I am thinking about buying this TV. I am most interested in picture quality and price, but of course there is more to buying a tv. So can anyone here tell me if they have buyers remorse, and if so, what do you wish you had done instead??

Thanks, we moved a 42" Sharp and want to remount elsewhere. It is approx. 3.5 years old and weighs 68plus pounds. They used a Level Mount brand that weighs approx 20 # on its own and very complicated. we will be mounting on drywall and know we have to use studs. just wanted an easier solution. The mount that we took down is for TV's up to 200 pounds. Think this one may be overkill. But the TV is too expensive to get rid of. Thanks again.

I ended up mounting it above my brick fireplace using concrete lug bolts so I wouldn't be the best person to ask about drywall installs. But I think if you do it correctly you should be fine. Regardless of the weight of the TV I would get some heavy duty drywall mounts from home depot.

I found the same problem. Apparently this some sort of mount that is common overseas, not in the US. I tried to find the wall plates online to no avail. Contacted Philips for help and they just told me they don't sell wall plates. Not the most helpful support in my opinion.

Would any of you who own this TV please speak up your experience? I'm considering a buy until seeing this thread. Please help. Thanks. Luan

It does not come with a wall mount. I Used a generic mount purchased from another store previously. When shopping ensure you look for a mount that uses the studs as it is the safest. Also whether or not you wish to tilt the tv up or down based on viewing position.

I'm dealing with the same situation except my Apt has drywall and metal studs over concrete. My neighbor had his HEAVY 65" Plasma hung by "Geek Squad" at Best Buy for $400 plus cost of mount. I'm too afraid to hang mine by myself so unfortunately I'm going to have to bite the bullet pay the $400 :) Good Luck 2 U !! Our 75" Samsung's rock !!!

I understand there is a wall mount for this TV. We did not wall mount it but I don't see why it could not be wall mounted.

I used a steel corner wall mount that I had from my previous tv. It was overkill as it will handle over 100 pounds. It is adjustable horizonally, vertically, tilt up and down, and in and out. It works great for our circumstance as I needed to have the adjustments to avoid a window. I hope that helps and you will love the tv itself as I am very impressed at the picture and even the sound.

I am eagerly waiting to hear about your experience with this mount. (I am also considering using it for a 42" Panasonic -stated weight 45.2lbs.) I have another articulating mount, a very expensive one, but it is seriously heavy--almost as heavy as the TV! And since I am mounting to the outside of a cabinet, I would prefer to keep the total weight down. Amazon states that the weight of this product is 2.5 pounds; is this correct? (The mount I have weighs 38 lbs.) I would also be interested to know how far the mount "sticks out" from the wall when it is fully folded back. Thanks.

I would suggest having someone else mount your tv if you cant figure this out! Look at the picture.the arm with the verticle bars (||) mounts to t.v the other arm mounts to the wall.youll probably have to go to your hardware store and buy a few nuts and bolts and washers though. I had too with mine.pkg didnt include what i neede.once you mount it though you will be extreemly happy with it. Even have jealous neighbors!

We simply use a blank wall in our living room. We've had 2 such set-ups, in 2 different homes. In one, we were able to mount a shelf bracket and platform across from the viewing area. In our current home, my DIY hubby has suspended it, inverted, from our ceiling where a fan used to hang. Power supply and good viewing aspect. We can also take it out doors and use another wall of our home to view movies outside. We play Xbox, view movies and do other things with our set-up.
