Just a nice masonry bit will work. Into the brick. I drilled some half inch holes in solid cinder blocks and hung several hundred pounds of clothing and stacked storage boxes in my garage. The weight of a flat screen will be fine with a couple of expanding bolts. I think they're called anchor bolts. Mine had grooves around them and the bolt made I expand and bite into the concrete.
this is likely what i'm going to do. if i didn't have everything already wired behind the tv i'd consider the ceiling mount. looks like it will be a project for this weekend.
thanks for all the responses

Yeah, you really don't need a hammer drill for something like this. I definitely could have used one but my drill is a pretty powerful plug in model and with a half inch masonry bit it did the job. A little slower than if I had a hammer drill but I got it done. Don't go with a cordless drill unless you have a new, powerful one, at a full charge. Those things always crap out on me at the worst time so I bought two extension cords and I can get anywhere on my property with any power tool now.
