Hi guys...
I want to put up a wall bracket, are they universal for all TV's ?
I have a 77 inch Sony, and wondered if i can buy any type of bracket for it ?
Thanks in advance...

Check what sort of mounting system the TV is (the standard is VESA, which has various sizes, and most mounts will be able to cope with different VESA sizes by using extension arms etc).

Then choose a wall bracket that has the correct mount and is able to cope with the size/weight of your TV, as some will have lower limits than your 77".

I have a smaller Sony.
43 inch.
From memory its VESA is 20x40cm.
Which is fine, lots of cheap brackets on ebay 20x40, but one is 20W x 40H while the other is 20H x 40W.

Some of the cheap brackets are a bit wobbly, mine is supposed to take a TV that's much heavier than what I have, but I'd not trust it!

Main thing is that you bolt it into the wall properly.

Plasterboard won't hold up a heavy TV forever, ask me how I know.
