Polaroid P40 screw size for mounting

Kindly check the operation manual, if not locate one for free download in websites.

Please look on the back, there should be 4 mounting holes (for Metric screws) Iin what is called VESA mounting pattern. Just measure the pattern.

When you buy the mounting bracket, it will come with a bag of Metric mounting screws to attach your TV to the bracket.

If you are talking about the mounting screws that go into the back of the television to mount a VESA sized wall bracket, then it's most likely 5mm screws. The length of the screws could differ, depending on the bracket you are attaching, but usually 12mm or 16mm can be used. just make sure that the screws are long enough to thread into the TV completely, but not too long, or they may damage internal components.

If you are talking about the Lag screws needed to mount the bracket to the wall, then use 3/8" width lag screws 2 1/2" to 3 1/2" long, depending on how deep you have to go before hitting the wood stud.

Don't know your model. Look at www.encompassparts.com. Click Guest, US Dollars. Type in model # and go, for parts list.

did you ever find a solution for this? the same thing happened to me, and now philips wont repair the mounting hole. I am so mad and will never buy another Philips again!

Had same problem with Insignia TV--may be same size...#12 - 24 x 1/2" machine screws...found at Home Depot in bagged items (can't use longer because some of the holes don't go all the way thru)

You can buy almost any wall mount for it, just be sure of 2 or 3 things... 1st the location, you have to screw some rather large bolts into the wooden studs in the wall so check where it will be located... 2nd weight and size... You want a mount that will be able to hold up the weigh of the TV, usually the size will be between 32" to 40" (various mount sizes) Just make sure the size 37" is between the size lengths... and 3rd that it has a "tilt" adjustment... due to the placement of the TV you might get either reflection off of a light source or you may need to change the angle so that you can see it better on the wall... Hope this helps out and if in doubt be sure to ask someone at the store you buy your equipment (TV, Audio, Games, etc)...

Yes. Take the stand to any hardware store and one of the clerks will help you get exactly the correct screws you need

please mark this as a fixya! thanks

You are correct. Polaroid does not make the screws available. You will have to obtain locally, per Polaroid.

I found out via Polaroid's customer service... you need size M6 screws to reattach the base to the TV
