I have a 46" LCD and I have had it mounted with this mount for a few days. You will need 16" stud spacing, and you will have about 8" left or right of center to adjust the mounting arm on the plate. The cables can be run through two large hole on the wall plate then either of the cantilever arms. You won't realize how big and sturdy this thing is until you take it out of the box. Most of the hardware in the box is to adapt to different TV's. It is pretty easy to install. The only time you will need 2 people is when you attach the TV to the mount. and the price was great. the only other unit that even came close was the Omnimount Dual-Arm Cantilever unit and didn't have a way to hide the wall mounting bolts was over 130.00 more
