I am looking to get a 26"ish LCD for the office.

But I will be mounting it up in a corner, on the wall...

Anyone have a good recomendations on a good bracket to mount it accross the corder (aka make a triangle with the two walls).

I have a bracket similar to this one (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11206784&search=C-Fpa3780&Mo=0&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Sp=S&N=5000043&whse=BC&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=Text_Search&Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ne=4000000&D=C-Fpa3780&Ntt=C-Fpa3780&No=0&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1) from Costco for my 32" LCD. The swing arm will let you position it how you want, so you can mount the bracket to one wall, swing out and it looks like it's angled. It even has the tilt feature, so you could tilt the TV down ...

It's a great bracket, especially for only $69, but I think you'll need one with a longer arm for the proper angle. (Although it does say it extends a full 27" from the wall, which may work for a 26" TV)

Earl - Make sure you check MonoPrice.com before you buy anything. If they don't have what you want check out PartsExpress.com in that order.

Mono Price is by far the lowest prices I've seen for stuff like this and from the reviews it is good quality stuff. I personally haven't bought any of their mounting equipment as of yet but certainly will give them a chance when I need it in the near future.

Parts Express has also been very good to me however their prices have slowly been going up over the last few years. While they still have much better prices than most they probably aren't the cheapest.

I did a quick search on Monoprice and came up with one for under $15!

I concur with Drew.

A cantilevered, double-articulated wall mount would provide positioning flexibility
and is probably be your best bet. Check the VESA mounting spec of your display
first, then find the mount that best meets your needs.

Check the mfrs & online sellers first -- not every retailer (or their web site) carries
all models. Enter your display's make/model for the mounts that meet your needs.

If you're mounting on wallboard (sheetrock, gypsum) be sure to use back-reinforced
star-bolt type wall fasteners. Do NOT rely on self-screwing type fasteners.

Best of luck in your quest.

PS I wouldn't risk my flat-panel display on a cheap $15 mount!

I'm just sayin :shrug:
