Peerless mounts are good, but may be too expensive for you budget.

100% agree with monoprice. HDMI cables are also a great deal.

its hard to recommend something specific w/ out knowing the details, like what VESA is your TV, size of TV, do you want a flat mount, or do you want one that pulls out and can swivels, etc

I like the swivel ones, it makes it easier when you have to plug something in/out since you want pull it away from the wall but when you push all the way against the wall, it also sit flat. The ones that stay put, are a pain when you have to hook something up

this is the one I use

I had to buy a VESA adapter since my tv in 400x400 and this one is for 200x200

hmm... off the top of my head; if you pull it out completely, roughly 3-4ft. I have the elbow bend since the studs didnt line up w/ where i wanted the TV centered. so mine sticks out about 2-2.5 ft

i have the same one in another room, and i folded that one flat, think it only sticks out about a foot

just make sure you check you VESA pattern on your TV and make sure it will work

+1 for cheetah mounts. got 2 of them off amazon. for a simple mount, these are good and mine came with a leveling ruler which was nice but be prepared to figure out how to put them together urself, the instructios are garbage but its doable. if u just want to mount the tv onto the wall and not move or swivel it or anything get this.

heres another mount that i have that is a lil more $ but can move very easily.

Mono price.

I bought a extendable mount from monoprice for my old LCD tv but now my new LED tv won't fit.

Does anyone know if you can just buy the mount? I need a 200x200 to 400x400 conversion mount

Have to agree Monoprice is the only place to go. These mounts are just bent metal and that as not worth more than $50. I can not believe how much the Best Buys of the world charge for them.

One thing to keep in mind that if you have an ultra thin TV - get an ultra thin mount. The normal mounts stick way out from the wall and look ridiculous. An ultra thin mount isn't as bulky and only sticks out about a half an inch.

Also, you can mount an ultra thin mount on a single stud if needed as the TV should only weigh 30'ish pounds.

Ive had this one hanging fully extended with a 55" LCD for almost a year now with no issue. Just checked level the other day and it is still the same as when I bought it. Anchored into 2 studs, and also used 4 350lb Drywall Toggles.
