Fixed 4-bolt mount, you should be fine. As long as it's in studs (all 4 bolts), it's likely capable of well over 55 lbs.

I was looking at a mount the other day for my son's room, but the mount was only 14" wide (32" TV). So it wasn't capable of reaching 2 studs. I ordered a larger one so I could secure it to 4 studs. I'm fairly certain my family could swing from that thing.

That's how I tested mine. It is for a 46 inch in the playroom, and it is mounted into studs with all 4 bolts. I weigh 180 and I grabbed onto the top of the mount and walked up the wall. I'd rather tear up some cheap drywall and mess up a TV mount than have a TV fall to the floor.
