I finally hung my LCD
Well I got a good deal on a Sony 46" LCD and decided to move my TV stand to the basement along with the Xbox and speakers. I wanted to keep my living room as clean as possible w/out clutter:

^Nice! Next house I will do that. I didn't want to put more holes in the wall, left it as is. We are going to be living here for 3-4 years. Next time I will definitely be doing something very similar to yours.

Looks really nice and glad you're happy with the picture.
I'm probably going to pick up a KDL46W5100 tonight.
What mount did you end up getting? I know that Sarlaac, Audi and several others have recommended Sanus After someone posted a link in another thread to Monoprice, I was thinking about getting mounts from there along with cables.
Scrib - did you have to go through your fireblocking to run your cables? That's my only real concern with getting Powerbridge or anything like it.

I got a Sanus off Amazon. It had 5/5 on every review (166 I believe at the time)
The Samsung is hung up, I haven't used the Sony much yet. It's the S5100. I played a couple games of COD4 on it last weekend, seemed pretty good.
The Sammy's picture is definitely

25 months now and not an issue to report. We use our fireplace 3-4 times a month in the MN winters and I've checked the temperature of the bottom of the TV after 30-60 minutes of fireplace use and there doesn't appear to be any increase in surface temp. My fireplace sticks out a good 8" from the wall the TV probably only 3-4 inches, so there is some protection to be had in my case...

As for the firewall... That wall was internal, so it was a piece of cake.

Scrib & Dom - Thanks for the info on the Monoprice mounts. Considering their cable quality and the review on the mounts, it seemed like a pretty safe bet. With the confirmation from you guys here, it's a done deal.

I'm sure you can't go wrong with either Sanus or Monoprice. We need the articulating arms for the bedroom and kitchen, so the price difference becomes more substantial.

I did not like the monopice-like powerbridge offering. Fortunately, there are ways to get discounts on a powerbridge. ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

BTW, did you use just the AV Cablepass or AV Cableconnects? The Cableconnect would be cleaner, but the Cablepass would save on wiring.

Wish I had known about that before I got mine earlier in the year. oh well.

Only thing that sucks about the Powerbridge is if you're a conduit user. They give you plastic boxes and 6' of romex, which for me is useless because that's not code here. And there's no way not to pay for it.
