[@LRN2DIY]

Funny you should mention it - I have a video I'm recording this week that shows a TV mount that doesn't go into the stud but directly into the drywall and supports just about any sized TV. Do a quick search for "No Stud TV Hanger". Bear in mind that this only applies to drywall, if it's something else then it may not work.

Duka TheClever Not sure what you mean by extra screws but there’s just one screw per hole and you can be sure you’re drilling into the stud if you see sawdust as you drill.

@@Delta1Duck ok, thank you very much for your answer, Im trying to mount my tv I think I just need to buy the tool to identify the wood in my apartment wall.

[@Delta1Duck]

Marcos Torres I had a stud finder and because I mounted TV on a corner wall, I only hit one stud ...for the screws where I did not hit a stud, I used those butterfly toggle bolts...my TV is a 42” and probably will not be moved around a whole lot, so I think it should be fine...sometimes you can knock on the wall with your knuckles to find studs....when you knock along the wall and it sounds hollow=no stud...keep slowly knocking until you sense density and that is a stud...all the best with your install!!

The only thing I'm scared of wall mounting a TV is that, I'm scared it'll fall down, even if it's hang tightly.

[@mr_scolopendra8902]

As long as you're in the studs and didn't over tighten your lugs with your impact drill then you'll be fine. You can tell if you've stripped the hole if it is loosely spinning and you can't feel any resistance.

Great videos! Do you have a video dealing with walls that have metal studs instead of wooden ones? I live in a condo and all the walls have the metal studs.

[@LRN2DIY]

I don't have a video on that, mostly because I haven't had the opportunity but that's something I'd love to look into as metal studs are becoming more and more popular. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@omeganappie]

Hi! I'm sure my comment is 5 months too late, but I work in commercial construction and deal with metal studs all the time. What you'll want is long self-tapper screws (about 2 inches to go through the sheetrock and the metal) and an impact drill with a Phillips bit. While it's possible with a normal drill, it can be a little more frustrating. Hope this helps!

[@MrDavidBFoster]

Well, that's all fine and dandy if you've got $200 to fork out on a wall mount. Personally, I've found that a couple of bolts and a length of steel cable works just as well. Claw hammer to hide the wires. Hey, who ever looks behind your TV, anyway?

Remember center of TV should be eye level of viewers though.. this TV is super high if its a living room.

[@oluwaseyiadewusi8012]

if i don't find any studs (or can't use a stud finder) and i drill directly on the drywall without hitting anyhing (luckily) would there be any repercussion ? basically, if i drill directly and hang the TV on the drywall rather than studs would it fall off ?
