Hello! I had an idea to mount my 4k 43" tv like this but I can't seem to find an arm to be able to do what I am asking for. Keep in mind that I need to kinda rotate the tv 90 degrees whilst the arm is fully extended. What do you guys think? Can you tell just by looking at the picture or do you need to know some angles and distances?

Also make sure the wall can take that kind of load (it looks a bit like brick wallpaper instead of an actual brick wall) and mount it properly.

you can also get a ceiling mount so it drops down and put it up out of the way when not in use

Wow!! I think that is a very good idea... Hmm Wow, very clever.

I used to use a 32" TV as a monitor and no issues. I was siting like 3 feet from it.

You will want to make sure you hit a floor joist if your doing in the ceiling or hit a stud if your doing it in the wall. Dont want your TV falling off the wall now. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

I have a 43 inch monitor right in front of my face. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Had a 32" TV for a monitor for like 5 years. No vision issues on my end. Sitting too close to the TV and going blind is one of those bull shit facts that aint true dude.

no? Blue light from LED backlights kills your eyes not distance. It's the same DPI as 4 21.5 inch 1080p monitors. Check out this argument I had about it where I actually ended up measuring blue light from different backlight types. 
Point is nothing you can do these days really to prevent it, LED monitors are simply worse for your eyes than CCFL backlights were.

what he means is make sure when you mount the tv holder to the wall or ceiling that you do so into a 2x4 stud (inside the wall usually theres one every 16 inches) and not just sheet rock....the sheet rock cant handle the stress, especially that type of wall mount and will rip right out.

The wall is concrete not wood, so I'm good right ?

Well here in the US we build out of wood. So under the actual flooring there are boards that go from one side of the room to the other. Then from that a sub floor is laid on top of that, usually some kind of plywood. Then you adhere your flooring to that. Though if your home is built out of concrete then thats a different animal. Most of the TV mounts I seen come with concrete anchors. While we build out of wood in the US, generally the foundation of our homes is concrete or cinder block, especially  if we have basements. Some people put entertainment spaces in their basements and so they use concrete anchors if they want to attach the TV to the wall. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Yeah well I don't know. The wall is concrete on that side because the neighbour lives on the other side. This is not a "house house" it's like an apartment.

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)
