Put it up yesterday. Bought a dewalt 8 amp rotary corded drill ($60). Drilled into brick. Basic masonary drill bits dulled quickly and I would recommend the higher quality ones that work with both rotary and hammer drills. I probably spent around $40 on bits. I used a sanus mount that was $90 at best buy. Took about 4 hrs including 2 trips to Home Depot. It could easily be done under an hour if you have everything you need. Even with buying a new drill I came out ahead vs paying best buy $350. It's a samsung 50 in btw.
Nice work.... A hammer drill would have kept you from eating up the bits as much, but you ended up with a new drill instead of renting a hammer drill, so you came out ahead

Yeah it would have been easier with a hammer drill. Once I started using a better bit it only took about a minute per hole.
