55in TV wall mounted on plasterboard wall

Question

I have a 55in Oled TV I'm wanting to mount on my wall. The mounted wall is a plasterboard wall. The TV weight according to specs listed on Samsung website is 16kg and the mounted bracket is 2kg. Would a plasterboard wall be strong enough to hold this type of weight if studs can't be located?

Jacques · Accepted Answer

If you use a toggle type plasterboard fixing 
And use all the recommended holes in the fixing plates then yes is is fine

Stuart · Answer

Plenty strong enough, use GripIt plasterboard fixings and you'll have no issues.  I'd also use a bracket that's close to the wall, you don't want 16kg out on a swing arm, the further from the wall it goes the weight will be pulling the fixings out rather than down.

Answer that special fixings are sufficient to hold 18kg is correct only in case when you will just hung TV and never touch it again. Any repeating movement sooner or later can cause problems. If this is a case additional reinforcement or finding studwork is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Ryan · Answer

Hi, I believe it would, if you use anchor wall fixings, then this should give you a good fixing into the plasterboard. I use these fixings on plasterboard for TV's and chimney hoods.

Drew · Answer

If the studs can be located and your wall bracket adjustable to suit then no need to worry about the plasterboard. If not however, then you need specific hollow wall fastenings such as self-screwing butterfly wall plugs with some brands capable of 25kg vertical loads.

Terry · Answer

No the plasterboard isn’t strong enough you will need to find the timber studs or fit additional studs to screw into
