it took a while..maybe 4 hours or so. ran into some difficulty because the wall had insulation in it which i wasn't expecting, so was difficult to fish the wires through the opening i made up top to the lower one i made. the bolts on the mounting bracket were really tough to screw into the studs in the wall too.
Works great and to be honest it actually sounds pretty good too. Though i have had experience with the last generation of the Sony Triniton CRT Tv's and they were fantastic! Are there LCD's of the same quality?
