How was your old TV mounted? Maybe you can use that, as well as the link provided by BB TX as a guide.

The new LED/LCD TVs are actually less fragile than the old CRT types, and MUCH lighter. Several things to consider if you want to use a projector - 1)the projector will have to be directly in front of the screen to have an acceptable image without keystone. This will probably put it right in your living space. 2)Ambient light will be a problem if you want to watch it in the daytime. 3) The contrast ratio (ratio of black-to-white) is much better in an LED/LCD TV. This directly relates to picture quality. 4) The cost of a comparable size LED/LCD TV is less than a decent video projector and screen.

By the way, most LED or LCD TVs have HDMI or VGA computer inputs now. Check that when you are shopping.
