will I be able to mount this to a wall with 24" on center studs? I do not want to mount to drywall only.

Don't know how that is possible because the mount points are 16" apart. There are 3 of them, one in the middle and one on each side. If you have 24' center studs and you put the center mount point there, the side mounts will not hit your studs.

A hair over 24" is as small as it goes and still able to use mount hooks. You should be ok.

I just installed this unit in my home. The plate that goes against the wall will not accommodate 24" spaced studs. But what you could do is find a 26" long piece of strong wood (1" thick ply, or 3/4" solid wood) and attach that to your wall and then screw the plate for this unit into that piece of wood. This is a great wall unit that allows a full 90 degree swing of a 60" flat panel! The only one that I could find allowing that kind of swing. Good luck.

Generally you should mount to a stud. But for a 19" TV you'd *probably* be ok using drywall anchors. The big home improvement stores carry them. They support different loads (I've seen them up to 75 lbs), so check the package.

Yes you could put the screws in the last holes and that would be 24 inches. I have mine at 16 because that is where my studs were! Most houses the studs are 16 on center, I've not heard of any being 24 on center, what I would do is use two 2x6s and run them across the 24 in gap and go from there! The only thing with that is your TV would be 1 5/8 inches farther out than just the plain mount!

I wouldn't do it. I have the same mount and on the inside cover of the manual on page 2 where it says caution: paragraph 4- "This product is not designed for use in metal stud walls" call the customer service number to be sure, they are very helpful.

It would probably be best if you did mount it on the stud. It's pretty heavy all by itself, and we have heavy components on it, so that's what we did. If you don't I'd suggest anchors for sure.

My studs did not line up well either since I mounted mine in corner of garage. I did not use drywall anchors though; I build a frame using 1x6's which I think worked very well. It is super sturdy, and I wasn't worried about seeing the wood mounted on the wall since it was the garage. I have pictures of how I did it, so if you want to see them, just let me know. My email is jshook12@yahoo.com Good luck!

Not possible I am using 6 21" monitors installed horizontal and have no more space, do another search with the dimensions of 24" or more for the type of mount needed.

I would not try to hang it on anything narrower than 1 1/2" (2X4, 2X6 etc.) Some modular homes use smaller studs, and I don't think I would trust them to hold the weight. You will want to find the centre of the stud - I use a small nail & pound it through the drywall to find each edge of the stud. Then drill a pilot hole right in the center or close to it. I think I used 5/16 lag bolts, into a 3/16 hole. I would use 2" long lag bolts, and drill the hole about 1 1/2" - 1 3/4" deep so the point can grab into wood too. If you don't driill a pilot hole you are likely to split the stud with one or more of the lag bolts. But of course don't drill it tooo large either or it may not hold. Good luck.

I installed the bar using 2" screws into wall studs. I had to open the wall to add lumber for a good anchor point. I would not trust anchors installed in drywall. The 36" length does not work well with 16" or 24" framing.

Yes I can confirm this. Although the wall studs in my house are 16" there was a stud slightly right of center so to mount my 47" tv and have it centered on the wall over the fireplace required a plate that was wider than the standard size. This worked as the wall plate is over 24" wide with the last set of holes on 24" centers. Have had the TV mounted for over 2 years and no problems

No. You can mount on regular wall. However, you will need to go and purchase the correct hardware. Make sure you install into at least one stud and you use heavy duty drywall anchors.

i had a similar situation. i found the largest drywall anchor i could find and used it on the non stud side. fortunately my tv is relatively light. if it were heavier, i would have made a custom mount for the wall bracket out of either scrap metal or thin lumber. so then you could span the 24" stud with the custom mount & attack the bracket assembly to it. it would take some work to make it look nice, so you might try the oversized drywall anchor first lolbtw I've had my 32" mounted with the drywall anchor for over a year now.

I was able to mount on 16" studs. There isn't much room after you hang tv so be sure to have all plug ins before attaching.

I don't see why one couldn't mount this to any stud on any wall without requiring extra hardware. Use an impact driver to convenience sake. If you don't have one, I'd pre-drill the holes (making sure their diameter is only about 1/2 - 2/3 size of the lag bolt).

I installed it to a stud in the wall,. The screws that came with it are really long. It works just fine for me. Hopefully that helps!
