Hi,
I'm looking to buy a new system that will allow me to watch blu-ray, netflix, and amazon streaming on a 47 inch screen and listen to it with decent surround sound. I want to mount this to the wall, and only have one stud available. I'd like to spend as close to $1000 as possible, and to avoid duplicating streaming capability on all devices.
What I have found so far:
TV:
JVC 47'", 60Hz, 1080p, no streaming capability-$650

Blu-ray
Panasonic seems to be the only company that offers Amazon and Netflix streaming in their players/HTiB systems. I like their SC-BTT195 system-$290

Mount:
Kanto-$120

Questions:
Is 60Hz enough? I will use this primarily to watch movies, and have found some of the higher refresh rates at friend's houses to be irritating (the "soap opera effect"). No sports.
Is the JVC TV a bad idea? Should I spend a bit more and get an LED TV that has a few more features (I just feel like I am wasting money as I will have to duplicate the streaming capability due to a lack of Amazon support).
Any other thoughts on the sound system?
Has anyone had success mounting the center channel to the TV in a swing out mount setup?
I have lived without a TV for almost 7 years. I figured I'd do it right and get a good setup. Thanks for your help!
