The mounting project through monoprice will cost $119 or as little as $60 depending on the level of refinement you demand. Let me place the order and do this.
The price you quoted for the mount and cables alone is ~$225 right? Any idiot can run the audio video cables because they are low voltage. PCR will probably charge you $300 for all the labor and materials. That's if you want a trade school dropout and not an electrician. . . .
A licensed electrician will raise the outlet for at least $75 plus materials.
Let me place the order and do this. Do you have paypal? If not, do so. You cant be half in and out of the 21st century. Go to their site and set one up. Email me what you want me to purchase (monoprice is 100% returnable). I'll tell you after the order is placed.
I'm Here to help to the extent you want.
Some useful info that supports my enthusiasm for tackling this job myself.
- Professional level install (better than PCRichards) costs more because you install fixed wall plates similar to power outlets that let you plug into them and likewise behind the mount.
- Going this route has other advantages related to the convenience of unplugging a highly accessible and visible cable should any components (the cable box and DVD player or TV need service).
Advantages:
- Convenience of unplugging a higlhy accessible plug
- Aesthetically less vulgar (black 3 ft cable connects tv to wall / white connects wall to DVD, etc).
- Should you ever leave it will retain value in a way to holes in wall
Disadvantage:
- Eventually the HDMI standard will evolve beyond the current version 1.4a. At that point you will need to buy 2 sets of short cables and two behind the wall (6 total) . Cost to upgrade 5 years is $20 vs $15.
- It does cost more and is more time consuming to install

I can't say for sure but I'm pretty certain this does not rotate left and right 90 degrees. I can't picture it happening without the arm getting in the way. More info is scarce as the mount you bought doesn't ship to retailers until July 11th.
Pictured here is the Bell'O 7845 (Prior Year Model?)
The swivel on the one I picked is how they get around needing to rotate the TV flat against the extended arm:
