Mount the TV bracket just the way you had mentioned
above, with toggle bolts, then run 2 thin steel
wires inside a very thin self adhesive wire molding
from the ceiling to the bracket that will support
the LCD TV weight and alleviate a lot of stress
on the toggle bolts. I have used this system many
times and it works.
Wouldn't that totally negate the effort to try not to mess up the wallpaper if you had two wire tracks stuck to the wall going up to the ceiling? And, if the ceiling joists are 24", when the wall studs should be 16", you have to put the wiremold on a diagonal. I don't understand. Also, that might help hold a flush mount up, but you would still have the same stress on the wallboard when the mount is extended.
In response to the original post, why can't you move it one way or the other so that you hit a stud with the mount? If it is a cantilever, you can move the LCD over so that it is in the center where you want it, and it still covers the mount.
Just my .02...
