[Shop-talk] mounting big ass TV

[eric at megageek.com]

OUCH,  I already ordered it.  No biggie.  Now I get to use my plasma torch 
and welder!

It was only $18, so it's no big deal.

Thanks again for all the help.  I really don't think there is any mount 
out there except custom or way over priced models.

Thanks again for all the assistance.  I just needed something.  I'm not 
even sure I'm going to keep the TV yet.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Yikes, good catch Mark, sorry Eric, that's not the one that I have.  My 
bracket is closer to 4 feet wide. 
Ok, more searching, i think this is the one I have:  
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=12994
The bracket is 1140mm wide (44.88 inches), which sounds like it might just 
meet your needs.  Or as Mark said, it might be cheaper to just get two of 
the smaller ones!

Best,
Ian

I looked at that and it appears to be a tad short: 880mm (35") long and 
won't span the 1100+-  you say you need.

So: buy two of them.  Mount them next to each other and you can span 
your 1100 easily.  If 1720mm doesn't fit behind the set cut each (or 1) 
down so they meet in the middle and you should be good to go.   And if 
you want to be even more secure weld the two mounts where they meet.
