I installed a tv mount from Costco for my front TV. It is 2 piece design, so that you attach the small screws into the TV and it's bracket, and then the bolts into the other bracket. You only need to hold up the heavy TV to lift it onto the bracket, only for a few seconds.
I have installed several TV's at my work (A retirement center) where the second person is holding the TV weight for a few minutes while the small screws are installed into the TV back, and if you leave it hanging by one screw, it can break off in the back of the TV - requiring starting all over with new screws.
I also used a mount rated at 100 pounds - for a 15 pound TV that hangs over my head while driving. I removed the frame, then installed some 1/2" plywood on hinges, so that I could access the space behind the flat TV, and have a sliding pin to keep the door closed.
