Inommmm, it must be put in simple terms.
Ramrod, if you have fallen off your bar stool again and are lying flat on the bar floor again, and a woman with a stiletto heel steps on the back of your hand, it will most likely break a bone. However, if she were wearing tennis shoes, the stress on the bone in the back of your hand will be dispersed to the width of the tennis shoe.

How precious of you to call Walking The Concourse of a mall, "patrol the highway".

the stress wouldnt be dispersed, the load was dispersed. gosh to i have to explain everything to you?
Oh and my hand would still break, Im assuming it would be a heavy set woman stepping on my hand. and she would probably jump up and down on it.

have you seen the malls lately, It is like im back in Afghanistan. It is a war zone.

There is stress on the bone and it is lessened and by lessened I mean dispersed. And if it was a heavyset woman it was probably someone you had been with and yes she would jump up and down. You probably arrested her for stealing a size 16 sundress

You two need to get a room.

True, but over the entire wall, that is a lot of both brick and mortar. Plus you have the hearth connected and what looks like some back space (from the fireplace and the wood storage helping to form an upside down T. Just by its shear weight and wide base, the wall is more than capable of supporting a TV. Like I said before, if there is a concern that the TV is going to bring down the wall, we got bigger issues that need to be addressed first!
If the brick or more so the mortar and mortar bond to the brick is sound, it would take a lot more than that TV to tear out even a single wythe section of the wall.
The bricks are probably three hole, and the mortar not only bonds them together but also keys them together via those holes.
Actually, how thick is the wall? Is it one brick or more thick where you are mounting the TV?

Okay I think we have this problem solved, I got to get back to work. Building stuff. Like I have been doing for close to 30 years.

He has told me for almost 10 years now he was coming to BR one weekend and we were going to have a beer.
I think it is the Alzheimers.

What is the weight of the TV? What is the weight and specs on the mount? You're right to have concern with a full motion mount. Most posters in the thread don't seem to comprehend what that is. Nor do they seem to understand that when you extend the TV out from the wall it exerts much greater force (downward) on the supporting wall than a standard flush or tilt mount.
You might want to post this thread on the Tech Board (which is where it should be anyway). Tigerwise and a couple of other integrators (like me) might have some input for you. Specs for the TV and mount will help.

I nearly posted this thread on the Tech Board, but the activity on that board is much much less than the O-T.

I'm considering going to a 65" which would be around 60 lbs. The mount is a Sanus VLF628. I can't find what the mount weighs, but the shipping weight is 54 lbs. It supports a maximum of 150 lbs, and extends to a maximum of 28" from the wall.

Exactly!

To be perfectly safe I'd put a frame behind that wall that anchors to the floor if you have access. Literally a framed floor plate, top plate and studs to anchor in. That way you can go through the existing brick to attach to the frame but the brick wouldn't bear any of the weight.
That's a lot of sheer weight to support when the mount is fully extended.

You think something like I have drawn here will work? I'll space the frame to match the size of the mount plate so I'm going through the 2x4 frame with the bolts.

or do they seem to understand that when you extend the TV out from the wall it exerts much greater force (downward) on the supporting wall than a standard flush or tilt mount.
The downward force is always the same no matter where the tv is, but it does induce a moment when it extends out.
I have 2 tvs on full articulation mounts lag screwed into 2 studs each. i have hung on them and they are solid. no TV is bringing the mount out or the framed wall down.
now think if it like this. do you think you could kick a brick wall down or a few studs down.
