Can I use this mount for a single stud installation (on/near center)?

I guess you could mount it to one stud. The slotted holes allow for plenty of mounting options. But, as far as if you should, I wont comment about that other than it depends on tv weight, stud strength, and maybe some things I cant think of.

No i would not recommend hanging this from a single stud, because of the length of the mount

Eric , Im not sure if it will work or not. You could always drill a hole in the mounting plate so that it will be mounted on two studs.

yes... just use both top and bottom holes to screw into stud. great quality mount

You should be able to, providing you are no closer than 1.5" from the corner. That will give you enough space to fasten the lag bolts into the stud and leave enough space to attach the shelf to the bracket

Use a stud finder to find a stud near where you want the mount. There should be another stud 16" away in each direction. I always drill a pilot hole to make sure there's really a stud in each location I intend to use. I wouldn't recommend using hollow-wall anchors for this because it is quite heavy even without the TV.

It will, but I can't guarantee it will hold the weight. But it will certainly mount to a single stud. But again, I wouldn't recommend it.

It is designed to extend only across 2 studs of standard 18" on center width. This is plenty for its weight rating. The problem comes in when centering on a wall. Often, especially when centering over a mantel, one stud is at or near the center of the wall, leaving one half of the mount unsecured. However, if the other side is secured to a stud then toggle bolts will be sufficient on the other side to resist torque.

Call 800.Samsung, they'll assist. I returned this item since it didn't occur to me at the time of purchase that I'd need to line each bracket up with a stud and therefore the bracket location was restricted by just that so my TV would have been off center on the wall. If your studs are centered on the wall, you're fine, but if not, the TV would be off center.

Not really. It is meant for a center mount. I guess you could if you were willing to rig it creatively.

It has a mounting bar, if you hit one stud, you should be ok. So, yes, it can be centered on the wall.

I would say yes. The configuration of the mount will accommodate any installation

Yes. You can adjust for that slightly. Or you could mount a board to the studs and secure to that.

I would recommend using 1/4" toggle bolts. And have them go into the stud, not just drywall. Use the stud as if it's "backing". I didn't like this mount Anyway. Doesn't tilt to the degree it says. And can't even put safty bolts in

To insure strength and stability of the mount it is essential to have a solid mount. Simply mounting to drywall with anchors will not provide this. Depending on where you want to center the mount this may not be possible. A suggestion would be to attach a board across two adjoining wall studs and then anchoring the mount to the board. Not as "pretty" but it will be effective.

depends on the dimensions of the outlet. the space on the back plate is only about the size of your hand, so if the outlet is bigger than that I wouldn't risk it, or I'd find another place to mount.

It would depend how far and if you want it flat on the wall. If you want it flat, but shifted over due to location of studs or something I would use something else. This one makes a good corner or articulating mount.

I have the same wall mount. I have mine set up for two studs, although if necessary there holes in the center if I wanted to set it up for just one stud. I chose the 2 stud option to be safe.

There is a lot of leeway in regards to where you want to insert the screws into the studs. I would not have any fear or hesitation. I am very pleased with this wall mount.
