Got a 50" flat-screen Plasma (Samsung) at a black Friday sale.

As this is our first flat screen TV, I am looking for help deciding what wall mounting setup to use.

TV weight is 82lbs. Set size(WxHxD) without stand 48.5" x 31.1" x 3.7"

I want to mount it on the wall with a setup that will allow the manipulation of the swivel/tilt, with possibly an articulating arm.

Any other recommendations are welcome, as are photos!

Thanks.

EDIT: preferably under $150

I use these in my dental office. We have TV's in every treatment room and I love the Omnimounts. They are built very sturdy and easily adjustable, there are a lot of cheaper mounts out there that are crap. You have a great TV, don't skimp on the mount. I bought all of mine on ebay and saved a bundle on them.

I also bought one from this guy http://www.wallmountwarehouse.com who also has an ebay store.

You are probably looking at using a cantilever mount, they will do all you want, but are a little awkward with a very large set. You also need to make sure you have a very solid stud to mount it in, and use some nice size wood bolts to secure it. I mounted mine in my house with a wall mount tilt mount. I have used some cantilevers at the office and they have worked well, but my TV's there are no larger than a 40 inch.

Thanks Doc.

Anyone else want to share what they're using?

You know, the coolest mount I have ever seen was in the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 days. They guy has his mounted on a pole between the Living and dining rooms in his apartment and he could swivel it on the pole depending on which room he was in.
