A question, this may or may not be the ideal place for it.
I would like to wall mount a 50" TV in the lower level of a property. It looks to me like there are three options -- here's a shot of the area in question taken to capture both walls and the ceiling, actual placement would be a couple feet lower:
(1) The ideal placement would be a simple bracket on the brick wall. It wouldn't need to be super adjustable. I don't own a hammer drill (nor have I ever used one AFAIK) so I have no concept of just how annoying/messy it would be.
(2) A ceiling mount could be possible, either from the joist that's up against the wall or the one that's ~ 2' into the room. I've seen brackets that would be mounted on the underside, or at least one option that allows a 90 degree mount, on the side of one of the joists. Some question in my mind as to whether the measurements would allow this option to really work.
(3) I suppose an articulating arm mount would be possible, secured to the drywalled interior wall, assuming I could find the studs. Seems like the least solid option -- it's a LED, not plasma so it's not that heavy, but still.
Opinions? I've just started digging into various youtube videos etc on the subject but figured I'd ask here too before making a decision.
