I'm after a new TV for the bedroom and it will be replacing a small (too small) 14" 4:3 CRT and will be used for Freeview, DVD and occasionally the XBox 360. so will need scart and HDMI input. I have vouchers for £100 in Currys (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=5)/PC World (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=7) so will be shopping there.
I will be mounting it on the wall or a shelf so have been struggling to see which mount is compatible with each TV for tilt/swivel. I'm currently thinking of the Samsung LE26A456C so a idea on what this requires would be fab. or any alternatives that are stocked at the above. Do I need a 26" or would the Sony KDL20S3060U at a similar price for a 20" be a better option for in the bedroom. I have a 26" monitor so have checked that out for size and I like it but could get away with smaller if need it's significantly better.

How big is the room? how far away do you usually sit?

Depending on whether you need full tilt/swivel or not, I recently bought this one (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=8&url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000KPU92O/thedvdforums-21) (15" to 30" televisions) and found it easy to fit (- the bolts are nice and long so I don't think it's going anywhere!) The tilt is about + or - 20 degrees, swivel is around 90 degrees.

Alternatively, if you require something more adjustable then Ebuyer are doing this one (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130793) for 22" to 37" televisions (- there's also a mount for 10" to 22" televisions - '130792')

Thanks I'd looked at that Hama bracket at Amazon thinking that's the right sort of price but it's 2-3 weeks delivery. I'm now thinking of a combo of this bracket (http://cpc.farnell.com/ST01056/audio-video-tv/product.us0?sku=pro-signal-st01056) with these adapters (http://cpc.farnell.com/ST01208/audio-video-tv/product.us0?sku=techlink-vb1) at a similar price and I can collect.

I picked up the TV and it turns out that I need a 200mm x 100mm mount.
