Hi,
As per the subject line, I'm looking for a Low-profile, Horizontal (only) tilt wall bracket for TV..
Anyone able to point me to a supplier/manufacturer website with a decent range..

I'm really only looking for about 10deg of horizontal swivel and would like to keep the bracket profile <= 5cm if poss.

The universal swivel arms just seem too bulky to me...

thanks in advance
G

What sized TV?
If you do your maths, you may find that 10 degrees of swivel from a 5cm pivot point may not be possible...
Will the plugs on the back of the TV be pointing backwards? Will there be any other fixtures on the wall that may foul the TV when pivoting?

I bought one of these from this same seller on TradeMe a couple of years ago. Have been very impressed with the quality, and came with all mounting hardware.

It's slightly thicker than 5cm, but you need to to get the tilt, or the edge of the TV will hit the wall.

Thanks for the responses...

The TV I'll be wall-mounting is a 32" Series 6 LED LCD TV (the super slim ones) and I'm *reasonably* sure I could manage 15 degress swivel with only 5 cm profile...

(I've noticed some slim brackets with 15 degrees tilt (only) available for larger (42") screens so I think I could manage similar swivel on a 32" screen)

It may be that (given I won't be constantly changing the swivel angle once mounted) I may just use a non-swivel/tilt bracket and 'pack' one side appropriately ... alternatively I'll check the viewing angle again and see if I can live without it swivelled at all...

cheers
