We are almost done with our Bedroom makeover and one of the remaining pieces was mounting the TV on the wall. We picked up the framed console table at Crate and Barrel. It's nice but has an unfortunate design element. There's a reinforcing piece of wood running the length of the top in the shelf. As a result, the height clearance is only 2.5" instead of the 3.5" in the front. So in order to not have to cut into the furniture, we bought a Tivo premiere to replace our Tivo HD. The Tivo premiere just fits.
Here you can see the full motion arm. It took a while to find one that would sit close against the wall (only 1.3") and yet swings out over 24".
I bought a combo surge protector outlet and wire management unit from Home Depot that will go right behind the TV. Also, right behind the console table, I put in a wire outlet so I can pass the HDMI cables behind the wall and right to the Tivo and DVD players.
Here's the finished work.
You can see the outlet box and the HDMI cables going into the box and running in the wall down below.
Nice and flat!
