I tried to search if this question has asked before but could not find anything, so:
Has anyone here bought a tv mount for a HDTV so you can watch the tv while it hangs on the wall? I'd love to do this for two new Sonys I bought (one 42", the other smaller); but, I just came back from Best Buy and got a quote from them to come to my house, put up two mounts on the wall and hang my two tvs in separate rooms, of course. They quoted me something like $760+ just to come out and hang two tv's using their mounts. Are they kidding?
They want $247 x 2 they said to come to your house and then each mount is like $129 X 2 = too $#@^!! much money. So, has anyone here purchased their own mount and installed a tv to it? And, if so, how hard was it to mount a 42" Sony HGTV thin tv? My handyman seems somewhat wary of doing it as he said there might be computer stuff at the back of the tv. I do know you screw four screws in back to the tv and four to the wall.
I was looking at the tilt type myself, and here are Best Buy's tv mounts:
