Troubles with wallmounting a 37" TV...

    Troubles with wallmounting a 37" TV...

    So I'm trying to figure out if I've bought the wrong equipment or if something's missing here.  I recently purchased a 37" Samsung TV (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102312) and along with that got a wallmount (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882680098).  Based on their descriptions it seemed like everything would be compatible; unfortunately it turns out I needed to buy an adapter plate as well (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882876020 -- should have read the mount reviews more closely, I'm not the first to hit that snag).

    Anyway even after that, it seems like I've got the wrong screws.  According to the TV's specs booklet, I need M6 standard screws.  Should the mount and/or the adpater plate come with those?  Or the TV?  Or did I screw up again and now I need to go figure out where to buy M6 screws?

    Thanks for any help!

    Wow that sucks, I'd think the adapter plate should have come with them, assuming you bought the right adapter plate..

    Anyway, I'd think any hardware store would have the M6 screws you're looking for.


    Onboard RAID vs. 3Ware RAID

    I never recommend people run RAID-5 with onboard chipsets.

    Yeah, should have come with them, but a hardware store should have the screws. If somewhere like Home Depot doesn't have them, try a local store.

    I happily buy tech! Why wouldn't I?
