As for mounting the TV, if you took a picture and brought it along with you to a local Home Depot or Lowe's, there's usually someone in customer service who'd be willing to talk with you and explain how you might go about mounting the bracket safely. Most Home Depot or Lowe's hardware stores offer free workshops that teach you these sorts of things. You can call your local Home Depot or Lowe's or look at their website for information on these workshops.

Its not HD so it will look good all the time and you should be able to find it for under 500 bucks Good Luck I would look into the Sharp 20 Inch LCD that is EDTV.

You'd need to choose a particular TV and check the manufacturer's specifications. Because each manufacturer has a different design for speakers, bezel, buttons, etc., even when TVs have the same screen size, their outer dimensions vary. Although either size bracket would work, because they're both specified for 372, I'd suggest getting the larger one. It is likely to be more sturdy and may have a greater weight capacity. Check the manufacturer's specs just to be sure. Width and height? You'd need to choose a particular TV and check the manufacturer's specifications.

So, you wouldn't be able to support an LCD TV using masonry anchors attached to the rock facade. In this case, you will probably have a frame behind the wall with studs to attach lag bolts into. Talk with the builder and let him know what you are planning to do. They might be able to install something in the wall that lets you anchor the TV bracket securely. Also, don't do the rock work around an already-installed TV. If that TV gets replaced, you are then stuck with finding a new one that is the exact same size (who knows what will be available then). Or, if you decide you don't want it on the wall any more, you'll have quite a time getting that hole filled in correctly.
