Slim profile TV bracket...

[Jupiter01]

Seemed like a good idea at the time.
I’ve solved the power cable issue by getting a cable which is right angled. I now have an issue with the plugs sticking out more than the bracket supports!

Whilst I could remove the wall bracket and stick an MDF board on this, I’m worried that it will affect the integrity of the screws, rawlplugs and holes.

Can the issue be solved by spacers? I’ve struggled to find these at Toolstation/Screwfix.

It’s an LG tv. Thanks in advance.

Most wall brackets I’ve bought came with plastic spacers

Nothing with this bracket unfortunately
Are spacers the way to go based on the above?

How much of a problem do you have with the AV connectors sticking out? Is it just the aerial plug, or are you hooking up phono/RCAs and a SCART as well as the usual HDMIs?

BTW, saying that the TV is an LG doesn't really tell us much. There are hundreds of LG models. A model number is what we need to know.

I’m fine with all connectors into TV as they are the “right” angle in this situation, my problem is the plugs in the socket. I need to make space for these.

It’s an LG 50PK350.

Thanks for your help

Penny washers. M6, 10pk @ 20p/pk, Screwfix. Job done.

Thanks again guys.
A coupe of questions relating to the above:
@Lucid, the washer approach did occur to me but I was concerned about having lots of washers (probably 2cm gap I reckon) and whether this would be safe. Would appreciate your view on this.

@sparkymarka, the last time I used spacers, I seem to remember that they went into the TV holes and hence had to be a compatible type of spacer. Is the one your suggesting good on this front?

As long as you have a solid anchorage point with the plug fixings in the wall, and so you can tighten the screws or mini coach bolts so that they really nip up tight, then whether it's a stack of washers or a solid tube that forms the spacer really makes no difference.

Thanks @Lucid.
I assume that the anchorage point is applicable even without the washer situation? I do have very solid fixings to the wall.

Based on the above, I prefer washers as I can then control the depth to my requirements and also purchase them locally.
