I see you mount on the wall and a part on the TV.Â* How do you put
them together?Â* I will have help lifting it in place.

I also know exactly where the studs are.Â* I have a photo of the
framed wall when it was being built and a stud is to the right of a
box on the wall.Â* No guessing there.

Not really any of my business, but is there a good reason to
hang your TV on the wall?Â* As far as I can see this is basically
a fashion statement.Â* I personally like to have more
flexibility.Â* I haven't moved my TV in 20 years, but if it
was hung on the wall it would be much more difficult to move
than if was set on some kind of stand.Â* And after moving a
wall mount I would have to patch the wall.

Do you have an HD TV?Â* These things are fairly light and amenable to put
on the wall.Â* I could scarcely lift my old CRT.

I bought an HD TV that has a 16:9 CRT. It was in the $1000 range when
flat screens were still in the $2500 and up range. It weighed 185 pounds.

After a lightening strike nearby, I needed a new TV and bought a 47" for
$828 and watched the price come down every month by at least $50. Now
it would be in the $325 range.
