Tv Wall bracket no allowing tv to sit flush

[Taters]

Hi I fitted the tv wall bracket for my new 55" tv but it sticks out at the bottom and won't sit flat.  Anyone have the same issue.  I see there have been issues on older posts.

I have the same issue with my 55inch sky tv, seems to stick out more at the bottom and is also quite wobbly is this normal?

Are using the Sky supplied wall bracket?

How far is it sticking out?

Have you checked how vertical the wall is?

Yes i used the sky wall mount and stencil provided, wall is fine too as i used spirit level to check this. I did notice tho before i put the tv on the wall, i tried the wall bracket in the tv first before i fitted it and even then once the bracket was clipped into the 4 gaps on the tv it wasnt flush to the tv as it still stuck out very slightly at the bottom is this normal? Also now the tv is on the bracket on the wall it seems very wobbly at the bottom is this also normal? Cheers, leo.

Hi, 

I posted this issue didn't get any reply's, had extensive discussions with sky who put it down to a poor fit as I had not used a professional fitter even though I am a time served joiner,  I had sent them photographs of the bracket fitted correctly with spirit levels to prove the bracket was square and the wall was flat, The reality is there is an issue with the TVs that sky wont accept. I eventually just used the bracket and different washers , 2 at the top  2 holes and very thin one at the bottom to "square up the TV". sky won't do anything except tell you to get it fitted professionally or send it back.

Hi I agree with that. 
basically I took out some of the screws etc and fitted smaller headed screws. I install boilers and know how to secure brackets.  I believe they need to amend their design to allow for larger screws and or bolt fixings

Absalutley the design needs to  change for screens to fit to the wall flat,

Difficult to see how that's possible unless the mounting is distorted or the set is not engaged fully with it.

All is fitted correctly and engaging.

I'm an engineer....and the leaning is as prominent as the tower in pisa
