Hey dudes and dudettes. My grandfather is getting me a 32 inch sharp aquos and i'd like to mount it. Now, i've been looking around futureshop and best buy for the cheapest mount possible. I found one that is 80 bucks that works with 30 inches and up to 50 pounds. Now, the aquos i'm getting is as i said 32 inches, and 52 pounds with the stand included. This is the tv:

and this is the mount i'm looking at:

Could i possibly use this mount with the tv? Or would i have to buy a more expensive mount?



P.s. Does anyone have this tv? And what do you think of it if you do?





p.s.s. I found this on jr.com http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4158811 Would that be better?

    Get the mount from the same place you get the TV. Then If it doesn't work you can take it back.

    I'm not worried about it fitting, i'm worried about it not being able to support the weight of the tv.



    On another note, if a tv says it's VESA compatible, does that mean it works with any VESA set-up? Or do i need to get the tv to check which set-up it is?

    VESA is a can of worms, a standard which is much more than a single standardized measure.

    You need specific specs for the mount and the Aquos, at least that's what I'd recommend.

    I don't have any current links at hand, sorry.



    Google your TV for detailed mounting specs.



    I would'nt worry about the mount not holding up. But status at the site you referenced is "sold out"

    i would get it from Costco. they are soo much cheaper than besbuy. we bought a BIG mount from there that can do EVERYTHING for the same price as a flush mount at bestbuy.
