Tv wall mounting

Question

Hi can I put an 55inch oled tv on an plasterboard wall or will it be to heavy

Imad · Answer

A 55-inch OLED TV typically weighs between 20-30 kg. Plasterboard (drywall) walls can support this weight, but it's crucial to mount the TV properly to avoid damage.

Here are some key considerations:

Mounting Bracket: Use a high-quality TV wall mount rated for the size and weight of your TV.

Wall Studs: The key to safely mounting a TV on plasterboard is to anchor into the wall studs, not just the plasterboard itself. Plasterboard alone will not support the weight of the TV. Use a stud finder to locate the studs behind the plasterboard, and secure the TV mount to those.

Fixings: Use appropriate screws or bolts designed for heavy loads. Avoid relying on simple screws meant for drywall anchors, as they may not hold the weight securely.

The answer is yes you can but I suggest to install a wooden board almost the size of the TV on plasterboard with plasterboard heavy duty plugs then install the tv on wooden board, this will help to distribute the tv weight over the wall.

Yes it would be to heavy,  at least one side of bracket should be attached to stud wall.

Hi Barry,yes you can. If can't get fixings to the stud than I will advise you use as many plasterboard fixings as possible. I have fixed so many brackets and a lot larger TVs have been hanged onto them, never had an issue.

Will be too heavy unless you can hit a wooden beam with your screws
