rotatable tv mount?

Post by Spyke »

Hi, I'm trying to find a wall mount for my 19" lcd tv which will allow me to switch back and forth between tate and yoko modes. Does anyone know of anything available in the UK? I haven't had any luck in shops, with responses ranging from no idea what I meant, to looks that suggested I'd just grown a pair of horns and sacrificed a virgin on the counter. Surely it can't be this hard to find a rotating mount?

Keep looking especially in Cheaper PC (parts) stores. And there´s ebay.

Thanks. There seems to be some confusion with ebay dealers etc though, as the term "rotatable" seems to misinterpreted. They assume that I mean able to rotate sideways, like round courners etc, if you ser what I mean!

It's not that uncommon for PC monitors to be able to rotate to a portrait setup rather than landscape. Might be a more common feature to find in replacement stands/arms intended for desk mounting.

This might work though, and isn't too pricey.

Yeah, and they're fairly difficult to rotate, at least the one I saw.

HD TV brackets tend to be over priced. Maybe build one using parts from a hardware store? I'm thinking a Lazy Susan Bearing Plate with brackets from the Hardware or Simpson aisle.

there are some for sale here:
http://www.mounts.com/flat-panel-mounts/rotating

shipping to the UK would probably hurt :?

something smaller like 19" could probably use a Neo-Flex LCD Arm but it's kinda a desk thing, not sure if you could wall mount it...

maybe hang a cool shelf on the wall for the console to sit on and rock something like this:

I'm trying to find something similar for my desk (23" LCD monitor) that could TATE it. I haven't really given it much thought, but there must be a fairly easy way to do it without having to mount it on a wall.

EDIT: Think I'll get something like this --

Nice find! I've ordered one too. Looks ideal for my purposes.

The original "rotatable" wall mount featured earlier in this thread turned out on delivery NOT to be rotatable. Or it is rotatabl;e before installation, but not afterwards. Your choice of landscape or portrait format is permanent once mounted.
