Trying to mount QE43Q60R TV, it requires a VESA 200x200 bracket and M8 Screws, but screws aren't compatible with the bracket

As the subject suggests, I have a 43" TV which is the QE43Q60R.

Looking at the user guide and contacting the Samsung support team, I know my TV requires a 200x200 VESA mount, so I bought one.

I have bought a set of M8 screws as stated on the user guide since that is the size that fits my TV.

Now the main issue is that the M8 screws do not go through the holes of the 200x200 bracket, but they do fit my TV. Did some research and apparently VESA 200x200 brackets require M6 screws, whereas 400x400 brackets need M8 screws.

Why on earth would this TV need an M8 screw when it requires a 200x200 bracket that takes M6 screws.....

Not sure if the maker of this TV messed up big time, or if I am missing something important lol

Hi @zmalik 

The wall mounting specifications for this TV state that the screws required are M8 screws @zmalik, and as these are the one's that fit the TV, we would suggest that this is correct.

Where did you buy the wall mount?
