Mounting and weight

Not really a tech question but people more into consumer tech might be able to help. Long time ago got a very nice Sony Bravia LCD. It weights 55lbs.
Some time aftger that, I got another tv for which I bought a Dynex mount that supports 50 lbs of weight.
Now I want to use that mount for that TV. It's just 5 lbs over. Would you? I'm torn between just trying this tv/mount combo and just getting a new, lighter TV.

More importantly, how is the mount secured to the wall? 3"+ long wood screws or larger? At least 4 of them mounted into studs?
If the mount is metal, and fairly sturdy, 55 lbs shouldn't hurt the mount itself. It's much more dependent on the way it's mounted on the wall.

What type of mount? Fixed, tilt, articulating? If it's not fixed don't do it.
