When I went went in I found metal studs around the top of the closet. I went about 18' higher than I had planned and found wood studs. Since you're usually viewing a TV laying down and reclined in bed, it wasn't a bad angle and of course the TV can be adjusted downward with the rack I was using. It came out good enough and total cost, $27 for the rack from Amazon and $50 for the concealed wire kit from Home Depot. Here's a view from the bed.

TV is way too high for me. Even in bed, youre partially sitting up when awake n watching TV. I had mounted one just like that and it was. Huge mistake. Way way too high and caused definite neck cramps. Think twice before mounting anything this high
