I'm not sure I follow here... Find your studs, mount your mounting bracket into the studs with long screws, then mount the TV to the bracket. It's not that hard. If you have a plasma, though, you need to consider keeping a little bit more distance from the wall as they get a little hotter than LCDs. And, you may need to think about hiding the cords behind the wall, but that's just cutting two holes really...
Welcome to the world of beautiful television!

One thing that has not been mentioned here is the mount that is going to be used. You can double stud the wall, or you could even put in a backboard (piece of plywood behind the drywall) for just about any type of mount out there. I would also use a recessed electrical box (1st example below) because sometimes getting to wiring can be difficult. I would recommend the UFO mount by Vantage Point Products, it will allow you to fold over your flat screen (45 degrees) to access the back of the unit to connect wires (2nd & 3rd examples below also). I have installed many plasmas and flat screens and some mounts don't give much room to get everything connected. the UFO is one of my favorites and is easy to install.

I would make sure I knew where the studs were for the mount. Also, I would determine how I would be running the wires for power and video/audio. eg ..if you were thinking of hiding them in the wall
