Reply to comment by illcrx in Samsung Slim Fit Wall Mount - Studs too far apart by sillysampiper

I’ve hung hundreds of TV’s as well. A flat non tilting mount can be done with anchors or toggles. Tilting mounts one stud minimum the other side anchors or toggles. Full articulating mount two studs required unless it’s one of the single stud mounts for smaller TVs. The amount of people on this sub that think you need to mount a piece of plywood across studs to mount a tv that’s typically no more than 50-60lns dont realize it’s complete overkill and unnecessary.

I didn't think about articulating mounts! Tilts and flats are the same to me but you are 100% right about articulating mounts! Studs are mandatory and with LAG bolts not drywall screws.

Yep. Lag bolts on those are required.
