Does this need to be mounted to a wall stud or can it be mounted just to drywall/plaster?

My suggestion is that you should always try to mount this type of bracket for a monitor or t.v. into a stud. If your sheetrock 3/4" then you can mount with the bolts and plastic molly insert that are provided. If your sheetrock is 1/2" I would use Molly Bolts from a hardware store.

It depends on the weight of the tv. If your tv is less than 50-75 lbs you should be ok.

I would not mount it on dry wall alone, the weight of the tv will pull itOff.

I have mine mounted to a stud and it works perfectly. I do think it can be mounted to drywall and the mount comes with drywall anchors. So in theory I do think the mount itself will mount to drywall, but there's no guarantee the drywall will support the weight of your TV. I would use a stud if possible so you don't have a broken tv laying on the ground one day.

No studs needed at all. It comes with the wall fasteners for both drywall (soft) walls & plaster (hard) walls. It also comes w/ the drill bit you need to make the pilot holes. The Styrofoam used in the packaging serves as the template for mounting so the only tool you really have to supply is a level. I'm a novice with tools & I found it to be very easy to install. Make sure you install it close enough to an outlet as the directions do not recommend using an extension cord.

I'd recommend mounting it to studs, or to anchors if you have a concrete or brick wall. They don't recommend placing a TV on the unit though, even though the TV is shown in the picture. You have to have a separate bracket for the TV.

I mounted mine on a hallow dry wall. If i remember correctly it comes with several types of anchors for different types of walls.

It must be mounted not only to a wall but to studs in the wall so I would recommend purchasing a stud Finder with this item.

Not exactly clear on what your asking?? Are you mounting to a wall with studs behind the drywall?

Yes, it can mounted to a wall providing there are studs to adhere it to, otherwise, you will need "mollies". :)

A stud is your best bet. But it may depend on what your wall is made of. Our drywall couldn't hold this, with anchors.

We hung ours on the wall as pictured, do not think it can be hing any other way and be used. My husband put anchors in the wall to be sure it was secure and he wouldn't need to find the studs in our plastered walls, there are also cement anchors available.

For safety, drilling into a stud is preferred. If not possible, I would suggest using a drywall anchoring device.

It should be mountable using a toggler into the metal stud. Did you end up installing it? I used 3 snap toggles into drywall, and 3 self-tapping sheet metal screws into the metal studs, so far it has held up. Good luck!

No, because of the way the mounting arms are designed, it is strictly to be mounted to the wall. You are better off investing in a different model.

This mounts on the outside of the wall and comes with mounting hardware, e.g. drywall anchors. I would recommend installing one side to a stud . Connect the electric as stated by the directions and local code.

No, it has brackets to keep it in place so unless you can figure out a way to get it to stay (maybe screws?) I don't really think it can mount to a wall.

Yes, you need to mount it to a wall. It comes with hardware to do it. Very easy to do.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall.The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.
