Those things are HEAVY. So much more than you would expect

compared to today's tvs. I just replaced my 50 in Plasma with a 70 in LG. I'm quite pleased with The new TV. The Plasma got demoted to my workshop, but will still get used. I just need to find an appropriate mount that can handle the weight AND has a mounting bolt pattern that fits the old style.
