Hardest part for me was letting go of the TV after hanging it on the bracket the first time.

The model I bought had a customer action shot of a 200lb guy hanging off of the wall mount.

I figured it could handle a 40lb TV

When I wall mount I always hole saw into the wall and come out either in the attic or close to the floor and keep things as clean as possible.

For the actual wall mount bracket I use Unistrut, one piece of 1-5/8" bolted to the wall, and a piece of 7/8" bolted to the back of the tv. Just pick the tv up and set the 7/8" into the 1-5/8" and your done. I usually use some spring nuts and 3/8" bolts on the ends to make double sure the strut can't slide of the end.

If you do it that way you'll only have 10 bucks or less in your mount and it'll hold up anything you want to hang on it. I've hung 55" tv's like that for years. The only downside is that you can't turn the tv.

This is exactly what I did. Then I put in 2 of these for running the cable through the wall. http://www.lowes.com/pd_61443-334-35M1W-SP-L_4294821472+5003694__?productId=3125961&Ntt=cooper+wiring&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl_1%2B5_4294821472%2B5003694__s%3FNtt%3Dcooper%2Bwiring&facetInfo=$1 - $5
