Plasma and LCD screens mounted on plasterboard and stud walls

We fitted 4 screens today in London. A Pioneer 50" and a 40" LCD Samsung, both on a plasterboard wall. All the cables such as HDMI had already been chased, and hidden into the wall.

A Panasonic screen was mounted using an articulated arm bracket on a stud wall. This would normally be a problem because of the lack of a secure fixing but as the screen was light coupled with being able to locate a central stud with our detector it was possible.

The fourth screen was a 42" Samsung plasma TV screen which was mounted on chimney breast with just surface mounted cables in trunking. We also had to extend the Sky cables. This plasma screen was fitted on a tilt bracket to help extend the viewing angle.

London office LCD screen AV installation

Master AV Services brief for this large office installation was to fit 14 screens in total.

• One 42" Samsung plasma in the lobby to be used for company presentations.
  
• 42"LG plasma in board room on ceiling mount.
  
• Two 32" Sharp LC32X20E LCD TV s in gym area.
  
• One 42" LG plasma in relax area.
  
• The rest of the screens were mounted on trading floor. These 9 were, 42" Sharp LCDAquos on tilt wall brackets. These screens were mounted on supporting pillars.
  

All screens were fed with a digital Freeview aerial and RF feeds from two Sky boxes located in comms room. The screens in the lobby and board room were fed via cat6 from a PC in the comms room where we converted the VGA output from the PC to CAT6 and reversed the process at the screen end back to VGA. Aerial and sky RF were distributed from 16 way aerial amplifier and combiner this allowed separate control via sky eyes located on screens.
