My understanding was that big flat-screens are normally mounted to the wall, and they're big & heavy. I'm sure I've read on a UK
website that sells these that they recommend paying a professional to install them.
I was glancing at plasma screens on the web last night & think I saw a wall-mount alone for £120, so $500 for installation seems in the same order
of cost. After spening all that money on a telly you basically want someone who's insured if it falls off the wall.

Yeah they are heavy but no heavier than a fully loaded kitchen cabinet. I wall mounted my 42" plasma on my own in about 15 minutes. The wall
mount came in 2 parts, half bolted to the wall and the other to the back of the TV. Then it hung on the wall like a picture, simple. Choose the right
heavy duty fixings for your wall type and you cant go wrong. (no where near as difficult as building your own car).
