    Steven F has the right idea. Four feet is way too long to extend a TV mount, even if they make them. That's a lot of leverage on the anchor points.

    You can mount a board, perhaps 2x6 between the two corners, forming a triangle, and attach to that. The TV then extend safely from the 2x6.

    Or, find a stud/joist in the ceiling, hang a board from that, then brace it into the corner.

    Are you allowed top mount a board diagonally between studs in each wall?

    If you are, you can attach ANY TV wall mount to the board, and the TV will hide the board.
