    I've been flip-flopping about a 32 inch HDTV for about a year, but my dad came up with the idea of chipping in to get a 40 inch, and move my parent's HD cable box to my room, so when they want to watch a movie, they can on the bigger, nicer TV lol. Though idk why this couldn't be done with a 32 inch, but I guess a 40 inch would be better to get anyway.

    So if I was to get a 40 inch TV, I'd have to get a wall mount because I don't feel like getting new furniture as well, but my dad informed me last night that I'll most likely need to feed all the cables through the wall, which, as he stated, can be an arduous task.

    I think I'm fine on what kind of mount I want, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience doing something like this, or have any easier alternatives to going into the wall?

    No, like I stated before, the memory limitations alone on consoles can't hold enough textures to be able to replicate Crysis 1.
    thats why they dont need the memory PS3 has a little something something called Blu-Ray. and its 25 times the size of a petty 2gb SD RAM

    Going through the wall really is not that hard but its something you only want to do if its going to be more than a temporary setup. As long as the cables / plates are all within the same stud bay (ideally right between the two studs you wallmount the tv) its a pretty simple thing to do. You just need a drywall saw and a screwdriver. Cut the holes, mount the in-wall box, and a plate suitable for the cables you will be running through it. I'm sure theres some pretty simple tutorials on the web you can find that show the process. Just make sure to measure / level all your cuts / placements, etc.
