What is the required M8 screw length for mounting a UE43BU8000 TV to a VESA wall bracket?

[drchoppy]

I recently purchased a UE43BU8000 TV, and I'm having a nightmare mounting it to a VESA wall mount. The paperwork with the TV states that M8 screws are required, but not what length. I have tried 50mm and 30mm, both of which seem too long, as the screws stick out of the back of the TV by a couple of cm. Indeed, the screw holes on the back of the TV only seem to be about 1cm deep, but from what I'm reading the screws should be at least 30mm in length. I've not mounted a TV before, and so I'm not sure if the screws sticking out a little way is normal or not. Can anyone provide some advice?

@drchoppy: I have looked into this for you, and you will require 4 x M8 screws at 11-13mm. For further clarification, please refer to the Quick Guide by following the link below.

Thanks for the reply @AndrewL, I’ve bought some online and I’ll give them a try. Will accept this as the solution once I’ve used them successfully.
