Almost all LCD/LED televisions are designed to be wall mounted. Check to back to see if there are four screw holes, or check the instructions which came with the TV.
There are dozens of wall mount models available - from fixed ones like which came with the main 38" TV in our TT, to swing arm units which I put a 24" LED TV on for the bedroom. There are extension type wall mounts which are designed to hold a TV in a cabinet and allow you to pull it forward for viewing.
For the swing arm unit I mounted two long battery tiedown nylon straps to hold it in place when we travel. I can also slip that TV off the mount by sliding it up, and place it outside in good weather to watch the race in comfort.
Just make sure you have a strong wood backing block if you want to install a fixed mount. Many of the mounts will weigh more than today's very light weight TVs.
