I just moved to a new place, and the only place to install a TV is above the fireplace. The problem is that the studs are 42" apart, and the TV is a 42" Insignia LCD. I've been unsuccessful in finding a mount that is at least 42" wide that will fit my TV. Anyone run into something like this, or have any ideas? I've looked at countless mounts without any luck.

Get some GOOD drywall anchors and use more attachment points than they suggest and you'll be fine.
