40" recommendation, and 'cantilever' arm experiences

Thank you both! It looks like I'm not the first to come up with this solution, in that case!

And this is what happens if you don't fix it to the wall properly:

Christ! What was it attached with?

I am building up the courage to wall-mount our old LCD in the kitchen and have bought some Rigifix anchor bolts - probably over-kill but don't want my Pioneer meeting my tile floor at speed.

Looks like a stud wall to me? If so, no way I'd attach a cantilever arm to one of those regardless of the fixings.

I used M8 or M10 anchor bolts for mine, can't remember which.

I drilled out the holes in the bracket mounting plate so it could accept bigger anchor bolts and bought 12mm X 100mm ones. They tightened up a treat in the brickwork so I'm confident mine is solid as a rock. The bolts look like they could mount a steel I beam or something similar.
