Looking into getting the tv put up on the wall to stop the wee one from pushing it over or getting it grubby ect
Its a brick wall but the only thing im not 100% sure on is that the tv is VERY heavy  anyone else have there 50" tv up on the wall? any problems? pictures? what did you do with all the cables?

the boilers I fit are 52 kilos and they stay on the wall ok, will be fine if you use the correct screws, Id go for about a 4inch 12 in a brown plug, I use a 6mm masonary bit too, the brown plugs should be used with a 7mm bit but using a 6 makes them extra tight

yeah the weight shouldnt be an issue.
as for the wiring you can use truncking but looks a bit naff imo, chase the wall or build a floating wall like this
makes things easier, not to every ones taste though, looks nice with the LED lights behind it though

Weight wont be a problem, i have a 42" glass panel plasma, the way that the brackets work is the top pulls and the bottom pushes etc... anchor bolts if your really that worried.

I put my 50" LG on the wall just recently using this bracket:

Solid as a rock.

Not such a silly comment by AK.
I've got two big screws in the beam and then glued the rest of the bracket to the wall. Works for me but it's only a 19" TV, nothing massive.

ignore the wires as they will be moved.
i did want a floating wall thing like the others in here but this was an easier option and looks alright imo.

Had someone out on wednesday about putting the tv above our fire and cables behind wall ect, Guy wasnt the nicest! cheeky bastard infact 
Telling me the tv should be placed just above the fire so its resting on it as its not a "mirror"  i also had the surround sound on but wasnt up loud but does give off a nice bit of bass "that noise its giving me a sore head infact turn it off please"
anyhoo ill stop there, he did give me a good price i thought £230 inc everything needed ect.

I went through about 3/4 different heights till i got mine right, When you sit on the sofa its just above centre of eye line, and perfect when lying back.
