    Best Method?? Wall Mount TV/Monitor in Bedroom...

    we've moved into a newly built flat, and we've not yet got round to sorting a tv in the bedroom.

    mainly because we have a clunky old 14" and flimsy looking walls.

    the bedroom has an aerial point about a foot from the top of the wall, which screams 'wall mount tv'.

    so i've been thinking, and shortlisted these options:

    - i could buy a bracket for the 14" old clunk, but im not sure itll hold.
    - buy a cheap 14/15" lcd tv
    - get hold of an old 14" tft pc monitor and buy a VGA box.

    method one, im not a fan of, but it would be cheap. anyway of knowing if the wall is strong enough??

    method two, is a bit expensive. cheap 14/15"ers can be got on ebay for £125/135 ish though.

    method three, could probably get a cheap 14/15" pc monitor for about £30 and buy a £20 vga box. anyone recommend this method? use it personally?

    can you think of any other methods i could consider?



    we have a video sender in the living room, and could send to the 'screen' but the receiver only has scart output, so that would only really work with a TV. (method2)

    I'd wait until you have a bit more money and spend a bit more on a new 14/15" tft or bigger.

    Sounds like the bracket is too risky and it'll be ugly. But it could work if you can mount it on some studding behind the plasterboard

    Cheap TFTs are never that great so you should spend more if you go for that route

    Can't really comment on the last mehod but in my experience TV never looks good on a tft, might be because the res is too high?
