how not to wall mount an lcd panel?

[ThriceNightly]

was looking at some lcd set ups on another forum and came across this monstrosity

nice panel but not a very clever job mounting it. also a lick of paint on the wall wouldn't go amiss!

Maybe its the best the guy/girl could do? Does that make it alright to mock their efforts? They could have given it their best shot and thats all that they could do. You do realise that some people are just not very good at DIY at all yes?

Do you think its fair to also mock them without being here to explain or stand up for themselves? Maybe it was just botched up there on the wall because they got excited about using it? It could now be sat surrounded by a solid gold frame with wires made from purest silver hidden behind gossamer threads of silk. Who knows???
How about we post a picture up of some random part of your life and take the pee out of it for you on another forum? That'd be nice wouldn't it?

well you could have made more of an effort.....perhaps get your dad to help you next time

I have the same wall mount, and to be fair, its not exactly easy slicing off the bits you can see if you dont have access to some half reasonable tools. Still, if it was me I would have at least left the speakers on to hide the vertical brackets.

yup, apparantly it is quite a heavy duty wall mount suitable for up to 50" plasma.

beefy enough to be trimmed imo.
