    The exact Size of the Screws needed are M4 x 35mm .70 Pitch

    Hope this Helps the next guy. Took 3 trips to the Hardware store to get the right ones.

The exact size for this and almost all visio TVs are: M4 x 35mm at .70 pitch

Hope this Helps the next guy/gal that looses their screws...

    Thanks Brian. Worked perfectly for my older Vizio 55 inch.

    This HELP just keeps on HELPING. I have not one but two Vizio HDTVs, a 24" and a 32", which both shipped without these screws. My local Ace Hardware store had the screws for the specs which you gave and these fit perfectly in both sets. Thanks again Brian.

Thet are Metric screw M5 or M6 about 35cents at HD, Lowe's, ACE. The length can be figured out by using a small stick to find out how deep the holes are.

Hi - we lost the screws to fix our sony bravia kdl-32v4000 to the table top stand in a move - can you tell me where I can get the 3 screws needed - thanks

I am guessing the screw size is M6/16mm , based on Sony official page for your TV:
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/tv-80-32-lcd/kdl-32v4000/technical-specifications#tab

Lowes or Home Depot or Ace Hardware (I prefer the latter for more knowledgeable employees). If no hardware stores nearby, try Sears or Best Buy (you may need to ask more than one person, don't give up too easily). If visiting a hardware store, you may have to look in the 'roofing' screw bins or nearby to find the right size.

You might also look for TV mounting kits that have that size screw, but you'd probably pay much more than finding the screws alone at a hardware store.

Lost screws for stand on Vizio VU42L

If you pay for shipping I will send you my screws. Maybe a buck or two will cover it in an envelope. I just removed them last night as the TV is being junked for the parts. Email me.
