How is your tv mounted?
My flat screen isnt mounted on the wall. I just have it sitting on top of a tv stand. Been thinking more and more about putting it on the wall but I have these on going fears that the mount would rip itself out of the wall and the tv falling on the floor and breaking. Monoprice has these mounts on sale for $21

How do I get over my fear of wall mounting and does anyone else share the same fear? Any tips for a first timer doing this?

i did this for a living
how big of a tv
just gonna use a tilting mount, not a rotating one right?
cobra, there is a way to mount a 55" tv without finding a stud, its supposed to be safe to do so, but i never did, i always made sure to find at LEAST 1 stud to grab on to

Neither my father (union carpenter for 30+ years), nor I trust toggle bolts or any other "weight distributing" bolts.

There are metal wall anchors that have a pretty high shear weight. I use them to hang duct-less a/c unit's to walls.
