LCD mount questions

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the correct area to ask this question?

I currently have a 42" Panasonic in a tv cubby hole over my fireplace. I recently bought a 52" LG. Well I had the cubby hole expanded some to fit the 42 so there is no way a 52" will fit.

I was thinking of ceiling mounting the 52" by attaching it to the over head beam of the cubby hole. Now i'm considering an articulating wall mount. If i chose the articulating mount it would be in the open/extended position permanently and i do not if this will eventually over time be an issue.

here are some pics:

Because i'm in a new'ish subdivision that is still being built I was able to go into new homes still under construction and take pics of the frame work behind the cubby.

Considering mounts like these:


or ceiling:

I have not found one just yet. I would need one with an L brace at the end and then the actual mount for the tv. The L bracket would give some space inbetween the tv and wall.


Any suggestions are welcome...thanks in advance,

i see what you mean...good suggestion. I put up this post just for that reason. thanks

Thanks....i am thinking about framing in the opening and using the wood with a traditional mount.

I also like your suggestion about the wires.....i'm not to concerned with that now....as that is an old pic with my Logitech z-5500. It actually looks worse now with my Polk Monitors...it's just a temp thing...also if you look in the bottom left portion of the picture you will see a hole...there is a rope in that hole that i will use to pull wires through when i'm ready.

Polks are what i have down stairs now..the logitech i moved to the bedroom..but i have since picked up some Energy speakers i'm wondering what to do with.
