I can't help you. I completely outsource this kind of stuff.
To who?
Audio/video people/companies. I learned long ago I hate this ****; I'm not good at it. Someone smarter than me installs, hangs, and networks everything. I just use it.
Not f'ing with any of this. It makes me suicidal.
I have rarely met people who know less about about AV than those who work for AV companies. Just because some guy shows up in a volkswagen with Geek Squad on the side doesn't mean he has a clue.
For the mount, you can definitely find some "long arm" tv mounts on Amazon that will give you the 30" or more, but that's a lot of cantilever. I wouldn't trust any mount to be able to support a TV at that distance long term. I agree with the false wall idea or at least mounting a couple of 2x4s to the studs, then the TV mount to the wood to cut down on the extension needed.
Well, I don't use Geek Squad. Regardless, whoever works at Geek Squad probably still knows more than I do.
AV is my nemesis. You might as well ask me to read Chinese. I just want to hit the On button and for it all to work. Now that doesn't stop me from tinkering on stuff and trouble shooting on my own but it requires research and much rage for me to do it.
I absolutely lose my mind when something goes awry with AV. It's irrational. I won't let my my wife touch anything for fear of her messing something up and me not figuring out how to get it back.
