How do you recommend mounting the tv - with wall mount or full motion?

We have a Sea View and the front is angled. The previous TV was angled down. I bought a full motion wall mount thinking this would be best, but I am wondering if doing a wall mount would be better.

Should we keep the TV angled - it is a 22" LCD. It will have to be right up in the front because if we put it inside the framing any (except for right against it) we loose part of the screen when viewing from the side.

right now we have it set on stuff and it is fine. I read someone else does that and then sets it on the bed while traveling. That is an option and then we could move the satellite receiver to the middle where it would not be so crowded and get more air.

I have a 34n Pacer and I had the old type TV in the bedroom (ridged mount) we could not lay in bed and watch TV. I bought an articulating arm for flatscreens and now we can adjust it for anywhere in the room, in out up and down. This type of arm is at any good electonic store for about $40 to $50 bucks
What you have to do is be sure it is retracted and secured before you move the rig, just something else to remember, but it was the only answer, we are going to replace the front tv next and I will use the same application

We considered articulated mounts when I replaced both the front and rear TVs last winter, but we didn't want to have to try to find a way to tie the TVs down for transit, and we didn't want to have to remember to tie them down. I mounted the new TVs at the same angles as the old ones because the original angles were directed toward good viewing positions.
