Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Monitor Mounts Vs. Monitor weight?

 

I recently bought a Samsung led TV to use with my personal bay at home.

Yesterday I bought a wall mount for it. I think it was $79.99. Should be fine as the TV without its stock stand weighs about 15 lbs.

Well after prying a screw cover off I found that I could tighten the resistance on the tilt and it works. Oh well guess it's time to read the manual.
