(TV Mount Screw Size) I am mounting a Samsung TV to the wall. I bought the best selling TV Wall Mount Kit. I have everything setup to mount the TV. I have the necessary tools and all the hardware. The problem I’m having is that the screws that came with the TV mounting kit don’t fit the back of the TV. The screws that came with the TV mount kit are quite wide. I am unable to secure the TV to the mounting bracket. am i forgetting something? How do I find out what type of screws fit my TV to hold the bracket?
