I just put a 50" Plasma on the wall in my bedroom. Used a stud finder with a laser on it, and another laser with a level so I drilled the holes the same height in the wall.
Drilled the first 2 holes, mounted the bracket on the wall loosely so I could mark and drill the bottom 2 holes. Screwed the bolts in nice and tight with a ratchet. Then I put the other part of the mount on the TV with the included bolts, had my girlfriend help me lift the tv up & onto the mount on the wall. Took maybe 30 - 45 minutes total.
Either tonight or tomorrow I will run the HDMI cables and the power cord inside the wall so they cant be seen. I expect that to be harder and take longer than putting the tv itself on the wall.Comment

Very easy to do. I have done it with 3 TV's in our house. Looks nice and clean.. yeah, just hide those cables in the wall and it looks oh so pretty.ICQ: 370 037 008Comment

use an impact drill if u can, makes it a whole lot easier to get the bolts into the studComment

Are you high? An impact drill would be a very bad idea and I mean very bad. Besides potential damage to the drywall it could also cause the stud to crack or split.
Normal drill, drill pilot hole first and then add your screws/bolts. Try not to over tighten so that you collapse it into the drywall.Comment

Easy stuff. You can even buy a good mount from ebay. Make sure that you have a good stud finder. If you are afraid that it may be off you can always use small finishing nails to make sure that the stud is in the center. It's one thing you dont want falling off your wall ;)The Print Foundry Co. - Design & Print Shop - ICQ: 371115529Comment

if you dont have a stud finder just use a drill and a small 1/8 th inch drill bit to find each side of the stud then go for the center of the two with the lag bolt, pre drill the lag bolt hole
then the rest of the studs should be every 16" on center if your house is built to codeComment

It's easy. Just find the studs, mark the holes, make sure the marks are level and screw the plate to the wall. Don't mount it too high though because looking up will hurt your neck and it sucks having to redo it.
The mount for the 13" would be even more easy, since it will probably just go into one stud.Comment

Tony, it's an easy process. Do not use an impact drill
(dumbest shit i've ever heard). An impact drill is for MASONARY
Stud finder or just tap on the wall, very easy to hear the difference. Such a small tv would be finee with wallmates - they are plastic plugs that support 20 to 30 kilos a piece.TripleXPrint on Megan Fox

Even though that tv is small and a lot cheaper than most, I would be very careful.
We are renting this house while we look for something to buy. The place is built of block like most in the area. When we moved in, the wife wanted to hang some of our paintings. a few of which are very freakin heavy. did all the drilling put in the anchors, and all, and one ripped a hole in the weak spot of the block. Lucky it fell and hit an empty chair and did not break anything. But left a hole in the wall.
I dont tend to hang thigns heavy unless I know a lot about where I am hanging them.PornGuy skype me pornguy_epic

pretty damn hard if the wall your trying to mount it to is cement (was my problem)lolComment
-
Uh, if you want to fuck up your wall majorly. Just set your drill to the low speed, high torque setting and drill a pilot 1/2 the size of the shaft diameter of the bolt beforehand.
No need to break out the big boys over this little project.

www.monoprice.com Awesome prices for professional mounts.. got mine there and installed it myself ... 42 inc LCD =)Comment

Nah, go to home depot and get some "Tapcon" screws. The pack will come with the certain size masonry bit and the tapcons screw right into the hole nice and tight.
Screen room builders use them a lot for mounting shit onto concrete slabs and walls.
Good for hurricane season also if your trying to board up your windows on a CBS home.
For a small tv no problem mounting the mount right to the cement wall.
If it's a larger TV I would mount two 2 x 6's to the wall first with a generous amount of Tapcons, then attach your mount to the 2 x 6's with some lag bolts.Comment

i did the same thing, if you can hang a picture or a mirror on the wall its not much different, me being the procrastinator that i am, i still dont have the wires ran yet.I just put a 50" Plasma on the wall in my bedroom. Used a stud finder with a laser on it, and another laser with a level so I drilled the holes the same height in the wall.
Drilled the first 2 holes, mounted the bracket on the wall loosely so I could mark and drill the bottom 2 holes. Screwed the bolts in nice and tight with a ratchet. Then I put the other part of the mount on the TV with the included bolts, had my girlfriend help me lift the tv up & onto the mount on the wall. Took maybe 30 - 45 minutes total.
