First up is the Full Motion up to 42″ Single Arm TV Bracket. This is a solid and sturdy arm that will allow fantastic movement on a large screen TV, up to 42″. With a maximum weight limit of 50kg and hole spacings of 400mm x 400mm, tilt and swivel and cable management, this bracket is a real bargain.

Second, and for the smaller TV, we have the TV Bracket and AV Shelf set. Perfect for the bedroom, for use with a smaller TV and DVD player, digibox or console, this is a really good value, and simple to install way to tidy up the TV and DVD player in the bedroom.

It all sounds high and good, but it basically seems to mean the the TV is just a sexy slab. It does look good though, and Sony promise it’s packed with features.

The next question is how to get the best out of your brand spanking new TV? That’s where we come in with a couple of ideas of how to best show off your TV. If you want a beautifully designed TV stand, how about the Troy Boutique 90cm TV stand with the solid, high gloss black sides and 3 slim line shelves.

Or, if you fancy mounting the TV on the wall, have a look at our super slim LED TV brackets – the VESA 300 x 300mm hole spacings on the Sony Bravia will work brilliantly with the LED-026 Slimline LED TV Bracket.

Here are the LED-026 and the Troy Boutique TV stand

The whole range has been designed to maximize performance and minimize cost. Each part has been thought about carefully to give a fantastic value range of TV stands. All the TV stands in the new Troy range have been designed to fit perfectly with a flat screen TV. The stands are a slim line 35cm deep, so that whether you have a LCD, LED or plasma TV you will notice the benefit of the TVs thin body.

The two smaller stands are the EAGLE and MATRIX TV stands. Both are ideal for TVs up to 32″, and really easy to assemble. The EAGLE TV stand has two shelves, leaving a nice, tall space between the shelves to allow a games console to stand up. The three shelf MATRIX TV stand is perfect for housing a DVD player and satellite box.

Troy BOUTIQUE TV stand from valuetvbrackets

Moving up to the next two TV stands in the range, the VALIANT and BOUTIQUE are for TVs from 32″ to 42″. The VALIANT TV stand is a three shelf gloss black glass TV stand and is great for positioning the TV in the corner of the room with its cut-out profile. The BOUTIQUE TV stand is a real designer TV stand. It has solid, piano gloss black, sides that will really show off your LCD or LED TV to its very best.

The PRESTIGIOUS TV stand is for screens from 37″ up to 55″. It is 110cm wide, offering a great platform for both your TV and all your AV kit to go with it. It has shaped profile legs that give it a much m0re expensive look than the price suggests.

Both brackets are easy to install, strong, and really low profile – holding the TV just 14mm from the wall.

They have a neat leg to hold the TV away from the wall when you are fixing the cables in place, and a spring activated catch so that the bracket (and you’re brand new LED TV) cannot be knocked off the wall by accident.

Suitable for medium to large LED TVs, the LCD-026 fits will hold a TV with fixing holes up to 600mm wide, and the LED-028 with holes up to a massive 800mm wide.

Check out the new brackets, and see how much you could save against similar, named brand products. Have a look at the Samsung LED information (it has annoying music, you have been warned!).

Happy Shopping!

I have worked on instructions for different products, and had different design briefs for the instructions too.  Conversations can go something like this:

1-”We need a new instruction – people keep calling to say that it doesn’t have enough images, and too many words.”

2-”OK, let’s go for a nice big picture showing how everything goes together, we’ll get rid of the text so people aren’t confused by it.”

So an instruction is made with a big picture and very little text, and then people call to complain that there isn’t enough text!

There are examples of really bad instructions, like this for a frying pan lid, and sometimes they shouldn’t be required, but quite often there is a case of different people take in information in different ways.

Here at valuetvbrackets we are trying to help with our instruction videos.

Here’s one for our 90cm TV stand, it’s not too tricky but this makes it really clear.

The TV brackets are harder, but the videos, like this one for the PL6000 37-50 TVs definitely make things a bit easier.

Are the any examples of good or bad instructions that you’ve come across? What makes a good instruction in your opinion? Let me know.

Well, VESA (or the Video Electronics Standards Association, to give them their full title) is a body that creates standards for a variety of things to do with video electronics. When their standards are applied to TV brackets they are setting out the size and position of the holes on the back of the screen that the TV bracket attaches to.

The particular standard that is used in relation to TV brackets is the Flat Display Mounting Interface, and, as is often the case, Wikipedia is a good source of further reading on the subject.

Obviously, this is important to people making or selling TV brackets because if we know where the holes are on the TV it makes it a lot easier to know whether or not the bracket will work with the TV. There are a few different sizes that are commonly used, which are: 75×75mm, 100×100mm, 200×100mm, 200×200mm and 400×200mm (these sizes refer to the sides of an imaginary rectangle where the centres of the holes are the corners).

When we at valuetvbrackets are selling brackets we put the VESA sizes that the bracket will fit with on the information for the product. We even have a few little diagrams for some of the brackets to try and so the hole positions as clearly as we can.

The LL-LW-E4 has VESA fixings

Here’s an image we have for the Full Motion 15″-30″ Double Arm TV Bracket and Full Motion 15″-30″ Single Arm TV Bracket that we sell. It is showing that they will fit with TVs that have 50×50mm, 75×75mm or 100×100mm hole spacings.

If a TV does not use VESA hole spacings (and there are plenty that don’t) you will need to look at the ‘universal’ brackets that are on offer. When you look for a universal bracket it is still important to check the distances between the holes on the TV do not exceed the maximum width or height that the TV bracket can attach to, or else you won’t be able to get the bracket attached to the TV.

With the ‘universal’ brackets on valuetvbrackets we have the maximum width and height information available on the product information page.

Whilst it makes wall mounting your TV easier if you have a TV with VESA fixings, I don’t think anyone ever didn’t but a TV just because the wall mounting holes were in the wrong place!
