TV Mount Problem

I finally figured out that I needed M8 bolts with 1.25 coarse thread instead of the 1.00 fine thread I bought originally. A pretty heavy bolt for such a light TV.

I replaced my HUGE old analog TV with a cheaper one...brought it in the house when our kitchen TV died, then I broke it when a measuring cup hit it. I replaced it with a 27" Samsung and found it is really nice to have both TVs in the house with the same remote, so I then bought another Samsung in 32" for the trailer. I bought a mount for it and couldn't figure out why none of the bolts fit and then discovered I needed the M8 bolts...they just fit the holes in the mount so no drilling required. I also thought it was a bit much for such a light TV! It works great, but I used the audio out to feed my stereo so I can use my trailer speakers, which is REALLY nice, but the TV 'forgets' the setting when power is removed, so every time we move or I turn the power off, I have to go into the menu and reset the audio...

And I would have used a Dremel to widen the slots as well.
