What size screws are necessary for the base? The ones that came with the TV don't fit and TCL isn't giving me a straight answer...

I had to use an electric screwdriver. A hand screwdriver just won't get it.

The screws that came with my set are "self tapping" meaning I had to turn hard to thread the plastic as I attached the base to the TV unit.

The screws are prett much universal so they should fit the vast majority of mountable TV. I actually wanted longer screws because I was using larger spacers to create a little more room behind the TV for cables and went to Home Depot found some longer ones. Hope this helps.

If you refer to the mounting kit - it came with several most frequently used screws, but non was M4. These specific screws should have came with the TV, no with the mounting.

The screws of standard size to the TV and to the wall are included. As for the screws to the TV, there are a few sets of screws for standard size, which are most commonly used. That does not cover all the TV. If the screws do not fit your TV, please go to Homedepot, you should be able to find the screws there.

While I'm sure this problem is resolved for the original question, be sure your mount is 200mm wide by 100mm tall. It won't work if the TV (TCL) is 100mm wide by 200mm tall.

I'm not sure of the size and it's already mounted so I can't check, but I believe that all wall mounting bracket screws are the same size. I have moved a couple TVs around and the screws from one bracket always fit the back of the other TV.

Hi Rick, this base broke on me and my 32" Insignia. I purchased this base ShopJimmy Universal TV Stand / Base + Wall Mount for 26"- 32" Flat-Screen TVs and am very happy. Hope this helps!

In my opinion, I don't think the size of the base matters. It is the weight of the TV and balance you need to be concerned with. The larger the TV the more likely it will be harder to balance and more difficult to turn.

I would suggest having someone else mount your tv if you cant figure this out! Look at the picture.the arm with the verticle bars (||) mounts to t.v the other arm mounts to the wall.youll probably have to go to your hardware store and buy a few nuts and bolts and washers though. I had too with mine.pkg didnt include what i neede.once you mount it though you will be extreemly happy with it. Even have jealous neighbors!

Just picked up this TV yesterday to replace one that broke that I had hung. Yes, you can absolutely hang it, but the TV does not come with hardware to do so. The wall mount I bought (cheapo one on eBay over a year ago) came with MANY sets of screws to fit all TV's. The longest screws in the package were the ones I had to use, but it is rock solid on my wall. Once you pop out the 4 covers on the back, you can see the holes that will accept the screws. Get a wall mount that will handle a 42" TV, and it should come with screws. They are standard sizes, but like I said, you may need extra long ones, which you can get at any hardware store. I would also HIGHLY recommend buying a wall mount online - I did it on eBay - as you will save a TON over going through any retail store. Good luck.

I have LG tvs and the base is removable. The tvs sit on the brackets. i am very pleased with these. I have one 55 in and one one 42 in hanging on them. Hope this helps.

Locknuts should be facing inward...snug, rounded edge on outside. (Although, I didn't have any of these in my installation kit.) I also used the spacers on the outside of the x bracket. Used this way for proper screw length into this particular LCD tv. All of my install screws/nuts are on the back side of the brackets. Snug, but not too tight.... Been holding up perfectly so far..... I hope this helped.

I have mine on order so I will have a def answer for you shortly. On the TCL website you cannot even find this set but the most similar 40" model has a 200x100 vesa mount configuration so any mount with a standard 200x200 should work.

If I remember correctly... You'll need a screw driver. But everything else was in the box. By-the-way it's holding up well and looks great. I just wish it was about 6 inches higher so I wouldn't be looking straight at the TV from my chair.

Trash the TV. Other options include drilling the screw holes a little larger to accommodate the old screws. You could also glue it, as you will probably not replace it again.

There are 4 brass screw holes on the back of the TV that aligned perfectly with the mount that I purchased at the same time. IF you don't have any brass inserts in the screw holes then I think that you need to contact the seller and let them know. From the answers I see below that was not a problem that any of those that answered your question seemed to have, including myself.

The kit came with an assortment of metric screws that should work for most if not all TV's. I used lag bolts to mount the bracket to the 2x4 studs. It's holding up an 80" TV.
