Hi Bruce,
I mounted a TV using a small tilt mount so I could tilt it down as much as possible. It is mounted on an inside partition wall (w/closet).
My reasoning was that we prefer our TV to be placed very high on the wall while lying down. Some TV's also may not display well seen from a lower angle. Finally, near the ceiling with a wall-snug bottom screen edge affords more head clearance while passing by the foot of the bed. We have a closet entry near the far foot.
If you are wondering, I was unable to find a wide backing designed-in for a variety of TV mount screws. I made do with a solid wall part (stud?) where I could get two screws in for my best shot. One screw is still apparently into thin paneling which I was careful to not over-tighten. It does assist in preventing mount rotation, since the panel is very strong in that shear plane.
If you find a factory path to better solid mounting, I would appreciate info on that, as I still closely monitor my current mount. It has worked for several trips without coming loose, but more solid would be even better.
I believe the flatter mount you are considering may have many screw holes, which is a plus. Good luck with your resolution.
