I deal with a lot of rock, but I don't think I ever have worked with brick surfaces. My FIL wants to mount his 65" Samsung over the fireplace. It's a true masonry fireplace, brick on cinderblock. What anchors work? And don't say tapcons.
OK, how about Red Heads? Lag shields if it's an arm, Tap-Cons or Red Heads if it's a static mount with slight tilt. How are you mounting it? I have used the softer plastic inserts (not too soft, but not hard and brittle) in brick for years and never had one problem.
