How to hang my LCD tv to a wall?

I bought a Samsung LNS3252D LCD tv a few months ago, which is now sitting on a desk, and I would like to buy a wall mount for it. Will any mount work or do I have to look for specific ones?

Thanks!

Your LCD TV manual will tell you the dimensions of the bracket needed. If you no longer have the manual, look on the manufacturer's website. They might even sell the bracket online there. But any bracket that fits the TV should work, although some brackets seem to be better than others, so shop around.

And don't go cheap. And if you are right at the edge of size weight, go with the bigger bracket.

I bought an inexpensive bracket that was just supposed to handle my TV. Once I mounted I quickly learned it could not support the TV. Oh it wouldn't fall or anything, but I could not lock in the tilt and the tv would just creep down.

This of course meant that I had to remove it from the wall, return it and get a bigger one. Very much a pain.

The specs show that it's "VESA 200x200 compatible", so you'll want to look for a mount that supports this standard or that's a "universal". Something like this might be good...

It's actually a bit of overkill for your 32" set, but it's a pretty nice mount for the money.

Thanks for the info, I went out this afternoon and got a nice wall mount. Took me 2 freaking hours to figure out how to do it but i'm done now and it looks awesome!
