Newell replace both my TVs (I supplied the TVs and they supplied the labor). On the front, it was like yours with a simple homegrown mounting system.

The way that they did the back was rather ingenious! The old television was simply mounted on a piece of plywood (painted black). It was secured to the wall with screws around the edges. The Newell folks simply added on another piece of plywood (to get the tv to the correct depth), painted and put it all back together. Plywood attached to tv and then plywood screwed into wall. Instead of using the infrared remote system (Niles)....they also cut a hole in the mounting bezel in front of remote sensor and polished the plastic to make it look nice.

I would have done something much more elaborate...but since you never have to get behind the tv...this method works! Let me know if you want pictures...I can show you how mine is done now.
