Probably the easiest and best way to do this is to figure out the size TV you can mount there and get a piece of clear 1/4" to 3/8" plywood a few inches smaller and put a finish on it. Mount the plywood to your wall, anchoring it to studs (wherever they are) with screws and the wall itself with liquid nails (don't just squirt it on, spread it out with a piece of cardboard). After the liquid nails have set, you can put a TV mount anywhere on the plywood with hollow wall anchors unless you have to be right on a stud - then screws. The TV will mostly hide the plywood and it'll be securely mounted. Don't scrimp on the TV mount though. If the TV size is at the upper limit for a given mount, get the next larger mount. You can always cut the vertical bars shorter, but you need the extra sturdiness (think about those bumps & potholes you go over).
