I can't imagine it looking very attractive either.
IIRC, the mounting plywood piece I used was about 34" long x 8" High. When the screen is parallel to the wall (or close to that), the plywood can't be seen, the screen blocks it. I made the plywood backer to capture three wall studs. Since I had mount in hand and wanted a good attachment, I counterbored the mount's installation bolt holes and installed the bolts from the back of the plywood. With that schedule, I was able to use two 5/16" bolts for the articulating mount. It is very sturdy and I have no fear that the screen can become deattached during transport.
