Is it possible to mount this without a stud? Into drywall with 265lb rated drywall mounts. TV is very light, its a 38in, weighs like 25lbs.

I have no clue but I doubt it...and I wouldnt risk it. Why? you can't find the stud?

I wouldn't do it. The mount alone is at least 25lbs. I see disaster in your future if you do so.

Yes you could mount your 38" using drywall mounts but this mount is WAY to big for your tv. The mount will weight twice as much as your tv. I would go with a smaller , cheaper Cheetah mount for a tv that small.

It is fairly heavy, should have an exact number in the the shipping information. There is no way I would mount this without going into a stud, NO. It is mirrored in the back, so no screws through the back

The company states that drywall installation is for 12 lbs or less, anything above that to a max of 50 lbs must be installed using the supplied lag screw into a stud. Hope this helps.

I have this mount holding a 50" Sony that weights about 35lbs. the mount is bolted to the studs in my wall...two bolts. It handles the weight just fine moves very easily in all directions. Great mount the way i am using it. However, i would not mount any tv or anything else heavier than 5lbs to just the sheetrock. Don't risk it.

The weight is not an issue if mounted as per the included instructions. You would just need to confirm the standard 400 mm or 600 mm mounting pattern. You should be able to Google TV model and find out mounting pattern. I have this for my TV and it is the best and most durable for the price. I love it!

I ended up mounting it above my brick fireplace using concrete lug bolts so I wouldn't be the best person to ask about drywall installs. But I think if you do it correctly you should be fine. Regardless of the weight of the TV I would get some heavy duty drywall mounts from home depot.

It would be very heavy to mount on a wall. You would need to be sure you have a stud to mount into.

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.

We put two into studs and used two drywall sleeve anchors for the other side......we had a 32 inch Tv and weighed only about 12#.Plenty sturdy..

You can mount it on a non-load bearing wall, but instead of plywood, I used two 2x4's. I cut them to fit the length and height of the mount in an upside down 'T' shape, mounted the 2x4's in the studs, and then attached the mount to that. It was sturdy enough for me to hang on it with no issues.

Not sure bud. My tv was 66lbs and sagged pretty badly. It's not the base plate that goes in the wall, it's the extended plate that the tv rests on. I would *guess* that 30 lbs might be ok? I went with. $200+ peerless mount and am MUCH happier.

This TV mount as I remember was rated well above 80 lbs as long as it is mounted to the wall properly. My personal experience is it would hold at least 2 - 80lb TVs. It's a universal mountso there shouldn't be any problems attaching the hangers. I've had mine for about 2 years. I give it a 10 out of 10 rating! Sony 60"

I have an older 48" Plasma TV (not sure how much it weighs), but have had no issue. The key is making sure the mount is installed correctly (make sure you hit the studs!)

I installed a new Samsung 75" LED TV (73 lbs) with this mount with no problem and also mounted an older 50" that weighs more. I can't remember the exact weight of the older TV, but I thought is was tipping the scales at around 90 lb. I admit that this mount isn't as beefy as some (it's low profile after all), but it's solid with the two TVs I used it on. It's rated at 165 lb, so I think you have plenty of margin even though I wouldn't be comfortable at 165 lbs.

I have a new 80" Sharp LC-80LE757U which weighs 135.6 pounds. The wall mount in question claims a 165 pound rating. With a couple of lag bolts in at least 2 solid wall studs...in addition to the screws supplied, the mount is very well made and will hold the load.

It needs to be mounted into studs to support the weight of the TV. One other consideration: The studs need to be centered in the opening where you are going to mount your TV. Otherwise, the TV will not be centered in the opening.

The wallplate is 24" so it won't span 2 stud spaces (assuming studs @ 16" oc). I seriously doubt that you will be able to purchase just the wallplate. You could buy a complete assembly and just use the wallplate, but I don't think that is necessary. If you get a good solid screw connection to the center stud at the top and bottom of the wallplate, and use good quality toggle bolts at the ends of the wallplate into the drywall, that will be sufficient to carry the weight of a 50" TV. The connection to the stud will carry the weight of the TV; the toggle bolts will hold the wallplate tight to the wall at the ends.
